  • She has amazing voice control and beautiful eyes!

  • @Oddi92 that was you sing up there cool. your good! oh now i gwt it thank you.

  • @iluvdemilavato1000 they are singing in English because the songs that are played here get toured throughout Europe and all over the world so they learn these songs in English. Granted that most of them dont understand what they're singing

  • OMG amzing

  • pięknie (PL)

  • I don't get it if they live in Europe why are they singing in english

  • @iluvdemilovato1000 because english their second language, and they speak it almost fluently?

  • @iluvdemilovato1000 an english song is a english song

  • @iluvdemilovato1000

    English is a european language and THE world language so why wouldn't they?

  • @iluvdemilovato1000 I started learning English when I was 6 years old. That was in the public school in Norway. For Europe with so many different languages, it's important to have a language that you can use to communicate over the borders. It's the second language of most Europeans, and this is why an English song reaches out to a lot bigger audience than a Norwegian song. This is also why British and American music does well in Europe. So they do understand what they are singing.

  • OMG. sure she'll be a very famous singer in the future

  • europe is not a country...

  • she has the most beautiful eyes <3

  • 0:32

    It sounds like he's saying "What are you going to sing for us."

    Almost identical to English. LOL.

  • The judge's face at 1:42 is hilarious. He's completely dumbstruck! lol

  • Hahaa...

    I'm from europe, im 14 and i can speak in 3 languages rlyy good. ;>>

    And yeah, Nora is great. You go girl!

    aand btw that guy looks like chuck norris :D

  • Talantus-sardeļkus %)

    Amazing voice!!!!!!

  • why does it seem that people from europe end up singing amazing in english

  • Totally Outstanding Nora,your voice reaches the STARS

  • AMAZING !

  • Is she speaking nynorsk or bokmal?

  • @HesseJamez This is bokmal. We get proud everytime someone shows an interest in our language, and everyone else have the right to be proud of theirs! Lykke til med din trening :]

  • @Equalpower

    Thanks- I'm interested in any language and as a native german speaker the scandinavian languages sound quite familiar to me - though I don't understand them. I've been in Denmark a few times and bokmal might be (almost) the same like danish?? I can't tell it apart. But her accent sounds more swedish...confusing.

    Btw she's brilliant and her english sounds perfect, too I wonder how many languages an average Norwegian speaks at her age???.

  • @HesseJamez Norway and Sweden have influenced eachother as neighbors for thousands of years, and are naturally more bonded in spoken language. Bokmal is directly inherited from Denmark when they occupied us for some 300 years, so you are spot on about similarity! Understanding similar languages is very common for our children, and I think it is because we are way more exposed to their languages than opposite. Genius Astrid Lindgren [with Pippi] is to blame! :D Kids knows only english and this =4

  • @HesseJamez most educated Europeans speak 3 to 4 languages...

  • her english is better than most Americans, so why are so many people bitching about her syntax ?

  • Took my breath away

  • Keep in mind she is only 11 years old here. You should listen to "I will always love You". If you still have doubts about here talent You should immedatly go to an ear specialist. She have an amazing voice, and I would rate her as the best female talent in Norway since Sissel Kyrkjebø. It will be interesting to follow here the next years.

  • Tja.... helt greit. kunne gjort det mye bedre selv da lett, men care liksom.

  • She has a very good voice, but her syntax is not so great.

  • @ganixaba uh? "her syntax is not so great"? She's 11 and English is like her third of fourth language...

  • With some instruction she could easily be a star

  • i am curious about why i understood what they were talking ? maybe studied danish for a while

  • @yuhua1234 lol, that actuly made me laugh, but then again they say the same stuff as they do on englland, or whereever you live :)

  • @justinbieberlover678 why? :D i am studying in Denmark ? i heard that writing danish and writing norwegian are almost the same ,but i had thought i could understand norwegian when they are speaking :Dit sounds like swedish people just started to learn danish and speak with swedish accent :D on offense, sorry XD

  • @yuhua1234

    a group of americans once asked me what language I was singing in when i was talking to my friend in a Norwegian dialect. Nothing like danish or swedish though.

  • @limbride hehe,but i do not know why ,i think i did understand the conversation between the girl and the guy ,hehe:D at least i think so . as i remembered,the guy said "welcome to us "the girl replied "tak(thanks)",then the guy asked "what is your name.....""the guy asked the girl that "what are going to do ?" the girl replied "sing" ,then the guy asked "what are u going to sing for us? then the girl replied "somewhere over the rainbow" i might be wrong XD the twisting rrrr really drove my crazy

  • @yuhua1234

    Well she is speaking the written language which is fairly easy to understand if you give it a try, but even other norwegians have trouble understanding my dialect ;)

  • @yuhua1234

    Norwegian has at least 50 different dialects and it should be easy for a Dane to understand what the girl is saying since it's almost identical to the written form, but pronounced in the Norwegian manner which sounds more like Swedish. Many other dialects sound nothing like Swedish nor Danish though, it really depends on who you're talking to.

  • @HojoOSanagi

    There might be the same amount of diferent dialects in Germany, but that's a lot for a country with less inhabitants than Berlin+ Hamburg, only.

  • @HesseJamez I just want to ad some information, the number of dialects in norway is not 50, but more like 400. It is hard to know the exact number.

  • they speak so fast

  • i wish i can sing like her...

  • Jeg synes det er vakkert og veldig talentfull og hun har ingen rival

  • Comment removed

  • Ever wonder what it was like to hear Billie Holiday sing at age 12 at the bars she was at? Or to see Michael Jackson in Indiana at a talent show as a kid? Well, thanks to YouTube a voice in Norway can be heard around the world, and watching this is I believe is as important a moment in music as Billie or Michael.

  • this is really her

  • gooodddd n pretttttyyy chck out sasha bennington she isz obssed wiff herself

  • shes totally lip singing...i dont think she can learn to pronounce english words that well...

  • most all countries in europe know english.. most children learn it in elementary school

  • she is not lip singing, the video is fucked up ! :P

  • @Emeralds4life It's easier to do while singing. Have you ever noticed that British or Australian singers seem to lose their accent when they sing?

  • Emeralds4life, I do agree it can seams impressive that some people are able to learn to speak other languages with such precision, but norwegians have a very special history that helps this. First of all, Norway is probably the only country in the world with two different official languages and less than 5M inhabitants. Secondly, norwegians do never dub their movies, not on TV nor theatre and at the same time they are Hollywood freaks and half the people love America more than anything else.

  • Just for information:

    Luxemburg has 3 official languages: luxemburgish, french, and german. I can speak in all 6 languages: german, luxemburgish, french, english, portuguese and spanish. They will apply a 4th official language: portuguese.

    Luxemburg is a little country with only 600000 habitants but in languages we are number 1 in the world.

  • figosantana, pardon me for "forgetting", but I never considered Luxembourg a country but rather a territory unable to turn a king into a puppet.

    Anyways, I guess I owe you thanks for confirming that multilingual countries (ouch territories) are more likely to produce inhabitants with better developed linguistic instincts.

  • Also Finland has two official languages both swedish and finnish. And Sweden doesn't have any first language at all. :/

  • HerrOberg, comeon, gimme a break. no finn knows how to _speak_ swedish. Jokes aside, I guess finish is so strange language to prononce that it doesn't give any advantage to be multilingual if the languages are from two distinct different lingvistic traditions.

    I didn't knew that sweden didn't have any official language at all, but that does indeed confirm my hypotesis. I can't think of any people who got poorer lingvistic instincts. They even got trouble to understand danish and norwegian.

  • Mye mulig det, men selv så skjønner jeg norsk(bokmål å nynorsk) veldig godt. Og jeg er født og oppvokst her i Sverige. Dansk skjønner jeg ikke ein drit av om jeg skal være ærlig, enest når di skriver. ;)

  • Tror det er noen fler land så ikke har ett førstespråk likt Sverige. USA f.eks, men Canada har to (engelsk å fransk).Norge har vel egentlig 5-6 offisielle språk tror jeg. Bokmål, nynorsk, sørsamisk, nordsamisk, kvensk, romanes. Men enest to av disse brukes som talespråk i Norge, eller noe slikt. :P

  • @HerrOberg, det spesielle med Norge består i at det har to offisielle _og_ obligatoriske språk i grunnskolen og hvor inntaket på høyere utdanning tar hensyn til karakteren i sidemålet. Dette fremtvinger et godt språkøre. Dessuten har store deler av befolkningen vokst opp med svensk TV all tid Norge ikke hadde tilstrekkelig godt utvalg norske kanaler. Skjønt, det er kanskje en uaktuell problemstilling for Nora, men det henger antagelig igjen som faktor fremdeles.

  • Ja det er nok riktig så du sier. Men for å snakk om Nora så syns jeg hun er veldig flink når hun synger Gabriella's Sång på svensk faktisk. :P

  • @HerrOberg, neste ordet hun uttaler uheldig er "himlen": ikke i henhold til svensk lingvistisk tradisjon. Uttalen er god, men typisk avslepet, volvo-svensk. Hva angår hennes engelsk, når hun snakker, så bærer det preg av tilegnede fraser plukket opp fra hollywood-filmer uten noen forankring i språkforståelse. Typisk jente-måte å lære språk: greit nok. Hadde det ikke vært for at Nora ikke takler å kjede seg, så ville hun kunne bli denne generasjonens store sangtalent.

  • Sverige har hvertfall ikke noe offisiellt språk men vi snakker svensk og har samisk å romanes oppe i nord. :)

  • lol of course shes not lip singing... All children in scandinavia learn english early

  • Watch her appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show. She both sings and speaks english there. It's on youtube, but it is called "Nora Foss on some show" since it will be removed if Oprah is mentioned in the title.

  • oh my godddd,

    just amazing

  • It lacked flow, but her tone was most mature.

    Errr..... Isn't it funny how everybody sings in American.. (??).

  • not in american stupid, its in english. There is no genuine american language. Just the indian.

  • @DaneeBeast, with the same logic one can easily argue there isn't any genuine norwegian, swedish or danish language, but only scandinavian to which I am pretty sure about 20 million Scandinavians will object vigorously.

  • holy cow! She is really good!

  • omigoodnesssssss she is sooo gooddd

  • wow u r goodddd

  • all i can day is WOW what a voice awesome job

  • Wauw! Heeel mooi!

  • realy beautiful!!

  • that was just ... amazing ...

  • that kids eyes are amazeing they suit her sweet little heart this kid can sing

  • You can get her fan site with song downloads if you search her on wikipedia :s

  • With that voice (if the years pass well for her) and that face, I see her in less than ten years, in the europe charts.

  • This is a beatiful bluesy jazzy version. If you see some of her other performances, that has become her style and must fit her personality. Lovely and talented!

  • when she talks she sounds normal. but when she sings she has vocals

  • the song i understand but not the lamguage but wtg lmao 10/10

  • They are from Norway :b if you live in scandinavia, you would have understand them, our languages is almost the same :) (Europe)

  • haha, its not europe got talent, its Norway Got Talent! =)

  • her eyes are georgous

  • you can download her songs and read her journal at the site

    norafromnorway . net

  • thanks for the site! ninjacedar

  • she is relly pretty..i keep seein all these europe singers and they are all good looking haha she's crazy good :]

  • i totally agree with you :)

  • love her eyes

  • which version of the song is she singing?

  • eva cassidy version x :)

  • shes going to be big!!

  • omg y do alot of girls sing this song i still love her singinggggg

  • wow

  • she's so good that she gave me goosebumps!!! Xx

  • dont be dumb.

    ill make it simple. in countries like norway/sweden, most bands/artists sing in english becuase its the most widely spoken language and their languages arent well known, so by singing their songs in english they can seel more albulms and actually make a living. therefore for these people on talent shows to sing in their own language would extremely limit their choice of songs. get it?

  • ok so she sings in English people then means they understand the language and think it's good.. so why not make the whole damn show
