[heydia]

seak for lind nilsen fuentes holm,and you going to find a lot of good stuff about them.:D

[xTheEndlessFallx]

wow. Breath taking.

There all really good singings

[JeanJ1954]

PLEASE, if you think this is good, check out K.D.Langs version of this on you tube, it is breath taking

[kikkers123]

I watched it and I still think this version is better

[ArsenalGear3000]

Wow, this is BEAUTIFUL.

[gumsar]

Love this song and there performence, but they do chorus to loud. It doesnt fit in to the rest of it. But still I love this song!

[MelodyGuy]

Obviously, they are great singers. Or at least particularly Kurt Nilssen and Espen Lind are. Not as good as Jeff Buckley was, but still pretty great.

But this version was still pretty pointless. Sure it sounds great, and probably even _amazing_ for those not familiar with Jeff Buckley's version. But they have modelled their version a bit too closely to his version to really make sense. Plus the two other voices don't quite match the voices of Espen Lind and Kurt Nilssen.

[1ceb1ade]

I like Jeff Buckley's version better...... :)

[Johnny94Depp]

Espen Lind is the best of them ! :D

[mee1tube]

they rock

[pelle338]

i shiver it is great

[freakyfairy21]

this is the best version of all hallelujah song!

[nikelbleuciel]

Oh my godness ! I've never heard that amazing interpretion !!!! Anybody knows if I can find a record from these guys ???

[TeachMeProperDancin]

Yeah, they're simply amazing. It's not being seld outside the skirts of Norway, as far as I know, but you could always be a little badass and download some of their songs, either on any program or here on youtube. They go by the name "Gitarkameratene". ;)

[jjcoldplaygirl]

where can i get this song on mp3 with these guys singing it?

[erfjord]

fags

[WaLoO94]

Magnifique, surtout Espen Lind et Kirt Nielsen

[krquinn15]

[cloudberry121]

Kurt Nilsen, Lind, Holm, and Fuentes

[diggen1337]

kurt nilsen pwn all

[Yoguh11]

so many covers of this great song. kinda of soft, but with dubious lyrics ;p

Myles Kennedy from AlterBridge also does a great cover too!

[JEEP2010]

Jeff Buckley does the best version

[suzsiz]

CHECK MY VIDS FROM THEIR CD..IM UPLOADING ALL OF THEIR SONGS ON THIS CD...:) Plz GIVe a Comment and RATe

[joffoooo]

Just so you know it ! Kurt is a great person and he diddent left his kids !

[Maajloo]

anyone who knows if you can find this version in mp3, beacuse this is freakin' awsome good!

[marimor85]

If you have limewire, or any program like that search for "hallelujah" and "kurt nilsen". I'm not sure if you'll get exactly this version, but they have recorded an album together. It's amazing!! But this version is the very first time they played together. It was on a national talkshow in Norway, and everyone fell in love with theese four guys..:)

[1klem]

jeg Elsker denne sangen!!!!!!!!!

De er Kjempe FLinke!<3

[theSilentDream]

Every time I listen to this song,

I feel like I'm in heaven :)

[XceptingDeniall]

[vetlo93]

[vetlo93]

Neeei! Alejandro e flink!

[paalan445]

[bffntrco]

fuckin' blondy guy!! what the fuck are your teeth!!? go on and fix them !

[KTMpowah]

Kurt Nilsen is one of the worlds greatest singers, who cares if he has parted teeth!? how old are you, 10? Whats wrong with you? go see a doctorm u little baby.

[hinafan01]

yeah! i meen, like, listen to his music dude, what u lookin at his teeth for? the music dude! just listen to the music, dont start yelling at ppl just cause they have parted teeth! hes a great singer! END. OF. DISSCUTION.

[Kiza123123]

Kurt Nilsen suger hardt på denne sangen.

[akki8]

not to shaby ...eh nige?

[slyder25]

These guys don't need our comments. They already put true feeling into sound with their voices.  Amazing rendition of this song guys, it brings out goosebumps.

[Fangioparis]

I had never heard of Kurt Nilson, nor heard him sing, but one note from him and I could hear he has great talent.

Wonderful singer.

[Sparegrisn]

For a few years ago Kurt Nilsen won the world Idol final, remember now?

[bjornar83]

That's why we don't have world idol finals anymore... The American idol was suppose to win! jerks...

[JEEP2010]

ppl just voted for others cuz they hate the US, it was biased from the beginning

[beatawawoczny27]

Przepiękne. Chyba najlepsze wykonanie jakie słyszałam. Gratulacje.

[Kirsten035]

Kurt should have done it on his own.

[tearsihaveshed]

i love the guy with the huge gap in his teeth and the denim jacket! cuz first of all i have a gap in my tooth and second of all I LOVE HIS VOICE!!

[kepern]

actually, he won the world idol about 4 years ago. same year as kelly clarkson competed. his name is kurt nilsen

[tearsihaveshed]

thats so coool!!!

[kepern]

no its not. hes a jackass!=P

[tearsihaveshed]

what do you mean?

[galaxey2]

he means that he thinks Kurt Nilsen sucks

[tearsihaveshed]

i understand that thx. but i mean why does the person think that. and the person means kurt's personality. way to be intelligent dude.

[galaxey2]

Dont know why... I think hes good...

[tearsihaveshed]

he's awesome!

[kepern]

What I mean is that Kurt Nilsen is a great singer with an incredible voice, but as a person he really is a jackass! F.ex after he won Idol he bailed on his old band and even left his wife and kids so that he could focus on his career!! And he thinks he's the coolest guy ever!

[galaxey2]

Thats not completely true. It was the wife that left him. But other than that. Its prefectly true.

[kepern]

well, no wonder why she left him.. :P

[hevidt]

kepern,

so sad to hear that. the public only knows/hears their talent, but not the real person. some people's ego is larger than their heads.

[tearsihaveshed]

this is so gorgeous

[mesilje]

Åhh..Så syykt!! Bare ELSKER gutter som spiller gitar<3

[AndersPus]

så manndigt, så, fantastisk, så utroligt!

[Jaako86]

HAHAHAHAH, /laugh. Search for NMKY and watch some REAL scandinavic gay shit

[amaruia1]

this is sooo beautiful

[xpiingu]

beautiful.

it's awsome

[xaelitah]

[ole322]

[Blubird86]

Jævla boyband hælvette!

Barnerumpa Alejandro er IKKE en dyktig sanger! Dere høres ut som westlife på crack!

[xaelitah]

missunneli elr?? han hr jo en skjikkeli mørsk stemme sm e t å dø av!

nån som e høy på pæra elr?

[Blubird86]

HÆÆÆÆLELuJAH!! Fuck off!

[stoine]

I love this version:D but i really dont like ali's voice at all..!

[mjeldegutta]

the forth singer is the "world idol" winner, Kurt Nilsen... one of my countries small achivenemts

[thursdaythom]

this is a really brilliant version of this song though i still prefer buckleys more over all. but that would just be because it has more verses. someone should suggest they sing more next time haha. I love the fourth singers voice

[amcw]

If you look for their version here that just shows the word "Hallelujah" through it, then they sing 4 of the verses, one each. This was on the CD they released in Norway entitled "Hallelujah Live".

[geronimootje]

Wow, amazing cooperation!! Beautiful!

[GrStHo]

Alejandro Fuentes looks and sounds like Oliver Trask in The O.C :)

[xuethao]

the guy with the gap between his teeth is amazing.

[taraans]

I agree with KC2Xl, the part of Kurt Nilsen is ... wow ... incredible ... by far the strongest. I love the rough voice, not as smooth as the others, it transports the message far better. This also shows with other versions of this songs. The edgy voices have it much stronger.

[Susanneh15]

Love this version!

[Turpsup]

It's a product. Snotty little kidz singing halleluja.

[Turpsup]

karaoke singers

[gryfnsmyth]

better than the original! Beautiful!

[miki1906]

an amazing version.great song guys with the great kurt nilsen

[bandovelor]

This is beautiful marco34 but the George Romano version is definitely worth checking out.Why does anyone have to judge,just enjoy.

[AabelKristian]

Go on Kurt! Alehandro vas not that good!

[bryanadams9]

i don´t know a better version like this! incredible!!!

[satchman1965]

a better performance of this song you will never hear. simply amazing.

[KC2XL]

Kurt Nilsen is incredible ("It's a cold and lonely Hallelujah...")

[sayparis75]

The best rendition of this song...to me....so peaceful...this song is one of the best songs ever written...thanks Mr COHEN.

[saraaa93]

this is amazing. love them, <333. GITARKAMERATENE!

[Tobi8990]

My best friend died 2 years ago. Nobody on earth knows me like he did and we made everything together...After the funeral I sat in his room and i listended to this song. I could not stop crying and his mom hugged me. Whenever I hear this song I remember his smile and it hurts so much.

This is a awesome version of the original song!

Great jo guys!

[ItsJustAGirl]

I was in a funeral not so long time ago, then they played this song. I love this song, but now it makes me cry everytime I hear it. A VERY, VERY nice song, but its alos very sad.

[BarbiiBlondii]

alejandro (3) and kurt (4) ROCKS!!! luv you guys.. i'm from norway btw

[becki123098]

songs amazinggg

[Natasha7177]

Wow.. całkiem niezłe, bywają o wiele gorsze występy. Kurt był zdecydowanie najlepszy,oby tak dalej mu się wiodło. Więc powiem tylko jedno : TRZEBA SIĘ BRAĆ DO ROBOTY <lol> :D :P :)))))

Nataszka

[rosadulanto]

incredible voice!!!!!thanks for the video

[Inacharlott]

Kurt Nilsen e bære rå! :D

[kmank2]

LOL at Cristiano, what a wanker!!

[forlanzzz]

christiano4ever717 get a life of your one!! you have no taste in music, go home to zambia!!

[sequillion]

not sure which guy is which, but the fella who sings at 2:05 is awesome, amazing video + sound

[amcw]

that's Kurt Nilsen. Norwegian and World Idol winner. Singer 1 is Espen Lind, 2 Askil Holm, 3 Alejandro Fuentes. They are all solo artists too here in Norway.

[Smurfen1990]

It´s Kurt Nilsen<3

[ehrynL85]

It was just.... so soothing and beautiful. I actually prefer this version over Buckley's.

[brandnewnoviciate]

The first singer has got a really lovely voice and I love the guitar,I remember seeing the one with the gap between his teeth on World Idol(I've got a gap too but not as big as his maybe abour six times smaller) he's got a stunning voice.I don't often save songs to faves,unless it's Josh Groban But I really like this...thanks for sending it to me..Yvonne xx.

[lydiemilo]

This is Just perfect!!!I adore this song!!!Awesome!

[cristiano4ever717]

lydie get a life!!!!! why are you watching this shit??? don't ever send me such rubbish again!!!!!!! look at the guy's teeth!!!!!!!! oh my gosh! grow up girl...! watch cristiano.. hehe!

[lydiemilo]

EISAI PATSA!!!!MOY ARESEI POLY!!!!

[koniczynkaL]

I love it! They're all so adorable, especially Kurt :-)

[frklinee]

Vakkert!

[DerLorrbas]

I also love kurt nilsen !!!!!!

Er ist einer der großartigsten Interpreten dieses Liedes !!

[norskhasi]

i love kurt nilsen. s the best!! he is amazing !!!! 10000 kisses to him

[teddymaniac]

Funny that people allways compare this song to Jeff Buckley's version. Leonard Cohen's version is the absolut best, and the runner up is Jeff Buckley. ^^ But a very nice sound in this version :)

[Schandy]

Buckley's version is more popular and, if I'm honest, the best.

[boydie40]

amazing but not quite as good as Buckleys version

[kristjanhansen]

De er så fucking Søde :)

[kapsec45]

That was great. Thanks guys

[dafteejit73]

the guy with the gappy teeth is Kurt Nilsen--an excellent singer---I love this version ,cant stop playing it!!!!

[88adis88]

Well I really like the guy in dark hair, but its obvious that the chubby guy with the gap has the best voice ;D

[dafteejit73]

the guy with the gappy teeth is kurt nilsen--an excellent singer and i love this version--cant stop playing it!!!

[trisack]

He won world idol a couple of years ago over that american chick..clarkson..

[kmank2]

Man that guy with the big gap between his teeth should have just sung the song solo. Seriously, the other 3 are good singers but he just leaves them for dead. His voice is quite simply amazing. Just beautiful, he's head and shoulders the best there.

[trisack]

agreed

[Plommen]

Stunning!

[FreakyDroid92]

i like the guy with the big space between his front teeth (kurt nilsen) he has an unik voice too=)

[AnnaHjulben]

which one of the them?? hehe.. no forget it, I can hear it:)

[kmank2]

Wow, just wow.

[Toewn]

Beautifull!!

[martabo]

people just want to give credit where credit is due. thats the "obsession" in any case, this is probably the most beautiful rendition of hallelujah ive heard yet...

but then again, that just comes down to taste, doesnt it??

[SSJ5VegetaV2]

Yeah, it is kind of dumb that these guys is being flamed since they have made a so called "pop" version of this song. My music teacher told me that he had never thought of it that way. He thought they had a good voice and was talented. There is nothing more to it. This is their own style, and you may like it or not. Personally I like it very much.

[poetry22]

why are people so obsessed with who did the original, and who does a better cover of it. It a sweet and dear song, and these men sing it very nicely. Such silly arguments that taint beauty. Music is music, there is no perfection, there is no wrecking music. Only interpretations that we can love or not love. I am slightly disgusted by the negative comments, and bold judgements. Its only music, and like us all, very beautiful for whatever reason.

[cradlemountain]

ditto! It is called free will. Why would someone be so ignorant to believe that you must appreciate what they do! Thank god for "Free Will".

[scaylor]

If you spent two years writing a song that other people became famous from, wouldn't you want some kind of credit?

[poetry22]

In most cases, yes. But this is Leonard Cohen we're talking about, and so I would find it hard to believe "credit" was an issue for him at anytime. The man was a brilliant artist and that was his only concern, as far as I know.

[scaylor]

That's the thing. You can't just assume somebody doesn't care about receiving credit, just because you personally think they're too much of an artist or whatever. It's out of respect and the possibility that they might care quite a lot.

[JackPoco]

It's Buckley's version, just shortened. Changes the whole tone of the song, but pretty cool anyway.

[Crossxboy]

very Nice :D

[engfan4]

are they singing any specific version or just there own shotened take of it?

[engfan4]

Who's the one with the black hair, the one who sings "She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair..."

[sebslove]

Alejandro Fuentes

[cradlemountain]

Dont know who the guy with black hair is but the one with the check shirt is pretty cute in my book and can sing!

[amcw]

That's Askil Holm. He has a new album out - his 2nd "Harmony Hotel". There are some vids here of him singing some of his songs from this album live here on youtube. Or visit his myspace site.

[FreakyDroid92]

why?..did u like how he sings? he's pritty good:D love his voice:D and he is from the same city as i am;)

[engfan4]

i love his voice...he's different than most people i hear these days. thats cool that ur from the same city...im not even from the same country as him!

[boustany24]

WOW! Great Version! THEIR VOICES ARE AWESOME!!! But Buckley's version is just better ... hehe

I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[kallsberg]

fantastic version of this song. Love the original for what it is, and this does only make it better. Thanks!

[blooodykiss]

I love Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen's versions but I think this is one of the best covers of Hallelujah !

[wdclolhej]

rwa är bättre lol

[DigimonFan99]

Mean this is much bette than that othe who was live there and seh sing along!

She voice sucks and she destroy the song!

[ezproCK]

WOW

[eray13]

gosh...! nothing better!

I love those voices!

[aganin]

amazing singers, but they cant compete with buckley.. his version is immortal and no one can reach his level

[wowJhil]

Alejandro Fuentes has an amazing voice that wil only be made justice when he gets his own album out there, til then I am a little sad.

[Diatonic5th]

Whoa! Nice job. Not as good as Jeff Buckley, but solid effort all around.

[Samaire87]

gosh this is SO touching. fantasitc voices!

for me the best version of the song ever!

[Knebbe]

Kurt was a worthy winner of world idol. His voice is simply divine.

[garyopenhill]

"4 Norwegian guys singing Leonard Cohen's version"? Eh..no! This is not Leonard Cohens version. Leonard Cohen is the original. Any other version is a "version" of the original. This particular version is a sticky ugly version. Anywhos. Kurt is cool.

[Morreh]

goosebumps...

[williamab]

Hvorfor er det slik at alt må gjøres om på, og ofte til det verre? Jeff Buckleys versjon og spesielt live versjonen på 9 min som kan sees her på youtube er jo ren perfeksjon, så nydelig og ømt som det kan bli. Hvorfor må denne kommersielle versjonen bli den som huskes av det norske folk? De prøver å se dystre og tankefulle ut, men for meg blir det bare falskt når man vet at det er penger og griskhet som er sangens drivkraft...

[williamab]

En av tidenes beste sanger, gjort kjent av Cohen, udødeligjort av Jeff Buckley. Så kan man spørre seg selv, hva er hensikten med å lage denne versjonen?? Hylle sangen? neppe. Hylle Buckley og Cohen? nei. Den ble sunget og gitt ut av den ene grunn for å tjene penger, MASSE penger. Ungdommer og eldre som aldri har hørt sangen før gis en grunn til å kjøpe CDen deres (som de til og med har gitt tittelen Hallalujah!).

[Raekan912]

Please! This is the best cover of this song ever. Without a doubt.

[moffmckenzie]

this is nothing less than rape of a lovely song.

why does people still try to cover what jeff buckley already has perfected a long time ago?

ignorant imbeciles.

(i'm a partypooper, yes:D)

[saganini]

That's Alejandro Javiero Fuentes. He came in third place in the Norwegian Idol 2005.

[jockesomfan]

i just love kurt, i fun to see that our next door country has such a good singer. : ) go kurt ! : ) that guy who sings before kurt has a wonderfull voice, love it.

[Catbeist]

No one can say that they ain't good... whenever I hear this song it sends shiver all through my body.. and that is good shivers!!!!

[boydie40]

this is Buckleys version not cohens

[AScottieC]

I am blown away by this clip,, they are all amazing. and I love Kurt, he deserves the title of World Idol, even over Kelly,, and I'm American and think she is awsome. Kurt Nilsen you rock dude!
