@salmon020 No, you´re right, falsetto is more of a song technique, isn´t it? I don´t know really. I think I have to listen more to both Kurt and Espen Lind, they are so good both of them. Norway has so many good singers... Morten still has a fantastic voice though, he sang perfectly at the farewell concerts in december... I was there...
@varseltrekant23 one world '' Hallelujah '', no matter how much you like and support morten, he could never in his life sing as good as that. Actually find me a better singer, peace.
@BigDinthemix I really love how morten sang that song..the only problem in that performance was that he forgot the lyrics..but that´s not a problem for me,when i first heard it i didn´t knew the song so i didn´t realize his mistake until I read the comments below..so if you ask me i prefer morten´s version over all the others..and there is one comment of a person who asked to a lot of friends if they prefer the part when morten sings or where espen does it,in her/his mp3
how does scandinavia produce such incredible vocalists, while keeping their feet firmly on the ground? the egomaniacs in the US and UK could learn a LOT from these guys.
Thank you SO much for sharing and for this translation! I always love to see these Norwegian clips, but never understand what they are saying....just a general "jist", if you will. I think they both have fantastic vocal. I love Morten and really am starting to enjoy Kurt too...such a rich voice and so soulful! God bless! :0)
Morten didn't age well? you got to be kidding! He was probably around 45 here. Would like to see you look that good at 45 :p :p He hasn't aged at all. He is still very good looking.
Kurt is a wonderful singer. His singing style is so flexible. It seems to me he can take any song and sing it the way the song is meant to be sung. His presence and personality is just so warm and friendly. I have to fully agree with Kristen. He is so talented, yet humble.
As far as who sings better? I think they both sing very well, and I cannot pick a favorite. Well, except that I have been listening to Morten singing for the past 20 years ...
kurt is much better than Morten. humilty is one of his most attractive qualities. i have yet to see anyone in the music industry with talent like his that isn't completely full of themself.
I am amazed this young man is Norway's next best???... while a good singer he is NOT a GREAT singer. He has absolutely no control over his head voice, he's relying on pure belt....there's no finesse in his tone...its one dimensional...sorry to be so critical but there are so many more talented singers struggling everyday just to get HEARD and he doesn't come close to some of the UNDISCOVERED talents in the world.
You're from the US, right? I could see that. there are 4 million people living in Norway. and 16 million people living in only New York.
Does that make any sense to you?''There are so many more talented singers struffling everyday just to get HEARD''SO, that's kurts fault? For god sake, Kurt joined the Norwegian Idol, and he won. and then he won World Idol. You should be happy for him. What kind of voices do you actually like? I guess youre the only one who doesn't like kurt's voice.
@vegasblue2 he's not a great singer, are you fucking serious! check out Hallelujah, with or without you and other material from him, and then you'll be eating your words..............
And I think they are both very, very good though their voices are different. That bit when they sang together was AMAZING!!! I loved every second of it!
Kurt does have a good voice but there is no comparison. Each singer as a distinct sound. Kurt's vocals are more harsh, rough & rock & roll while Morten's voice is smooth, silky & soothing. Kurt will do well for certain types of music but I still think that Morten's voice is better.
@sbddp yeah, because Kurt sings higher, and more powerfull! I prefere the emotions in Mortens voice over kurt's , but Kurt also rock :)
