Jan Werner - Anthem

[Creppa]

kongen!



[jaeols1]

Utrolig bra. 

[AlterOpptatt1234]

For en stemme!!!

[suetnose]

l would like to dedicate this song to the people of Norway,in some small way,to offer my condolences,for the terrible atrocity that has happened on your soil.My heart goes out to all the families for their loss.God Bless from an English man.

[klippcb]

Tommy Körbergs konkurrent, detta var oxå den bästa Anthem jag hört, vilken stämma.

Tråkigt att han gick bort tidigt. Vad dog han av ?

[Sadiesexy]

Mannen var et geni.

Pga de menneskene irundt ham ikke fattet det, døde han.

[ingelin88]

Utrolig!

[burmaposey]

Such a tribute to his nation... The people who were present to hear this had a once-in-a-lifetime experience and must have wept for days. So much emotion for such a young man. I am from America but cry everytime I hear Jan singing this. May God bless his family and loved ones.

[SeveralMimi]

He was good here, but he got only better after this!

[roarleon]

En av de beste....!!!!

[Hans021220]

Jan Werner...forever home with The Lord...way too young,but those who are highly loved will never die!

[htandis]

The Greatest Norwegian Talent Ever - forget about Bjørn Dæhlie, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Kjetil Andre Aamodt. Jan Werner is number ONE!!

There is no doubt!!

[hallagen]

Du bli aller glømt.Den flotteste stæmma æ har hørd .Glømme dæ alder i Ålesund Kirke me Bettan.Du sang ei Irsk hymne som va helt utrule,ikke hørt den sia..Du sa den va vanskelig å søng og d trur æ,,men helt nydele..Miss You..

[RememberJan]

@hallagen Den heter Courtyard Lullaby og er tilgjengelig i tre versjoner på YouTube :)

[Shadowglimt]

@RememberJan courtyard lullaby! Den øver jeg på hos min sangpedagog hver gang ! Den er IKKE lett!

[Anejenta]

this brings out the tears, the smile and the goosebumps.. You cant describe Jan with words, he was and still are a wonderful and fantastic singer :) May you rest in peace, and you will always be remembered in our family.. Hvil i fred, Jan Werner..

[Kraftymark]

absolutely fantastic... I only just found out today that Jan Werner had died.. I had loved him since Eurovision 1994, but didn't know he had passed away... I have felt sad all day... He certainly left us with a beautiful legacy... RIP

[Singharz]

Just epic.

[pomemax]

i have just listened to a 17 year old sing with so much passion that way the best i have tears on my cheek so much emotion you can see it in his performance its a shame to think of him dead at such a young age if he had lived passes his 30s we would now know him all over the world . thank you for posting it and thank you jan for singing it may you rest in peace God must have need you for his choir

[homnay33]

This is the best presentation, and most inspiring and moving performance that I have ever heard and seen. I only wish that I had know about this man when he was alive. He just lives and breathes and feels throughout his body what he sings or sang! A great loss to world, indeed!!!

[LikeIceland]

This was the second time I instantly knew that a star was born. Totally blown away!

(by the way, the first time I had a moment like that, was the first time I saw Sissel Kyrkjebø, at the time aged 14, sing in at sing-together- everybody-and-be-happy- show on TV)

[stephensorr]

best version i have ever heard. amazing is the only word that can fit it. gorgeuous. yep found another one

[DivaFaker]

Så nydelig sunget *tårer i øynene & gåsehud*

Og han var jo så kjekk på den tiden ;D

[mrRipper1974]

Best Norwegian singer ever to bad he has past away to the other side

[NAIV1684]

i tried to find this song but it was impossible,someone can tell me how i get it? thank you!!

WE MISS YOU JAN...

[RememberJan]

On iTunes you can get the version from "Music of the night"

[4260laurel]

Chills...just stunning...the voice, the passion the interp of the song.

It's not a song- It's an art piece with Jan!

[IamFreddie]

omg. han er vidunderlig:) ser ikke ut som om han tar i engang. R.I.P

[Naflemac]

Be sure, Jan Werner sparkle up there among the greatest singers and we who loved him will always remember his great talent!

[mongreletf]

Wow. Jeg er målløs.

[MrDaggy92]

Helt enig med Maegzz81 her! Jan Werner hadde en fantastisk stemme og det er ingen som kan måle seg med stemmen til Jan Werner ( i hvertfall her i norge og kanskje skandinavia)! Og la oss ikke glemme at Jan Werner var selvskolert og Korberg hadde hatt mange år med skolering av dyktige folk før han ble kjent. Lenge leve Jan Werner, norges største vokalist gjennom tidene!!

[maegzz81]

Er så enig Med deg Remember Jan, han er ikke her til å forsvare seg, vis respekt, og med all respekt for Tommy Kørberg, Jan werner er etter min mening flere klasser over, pga. sin styrke, timing,prakt, evne til å holde stemme og hans innlevelse.

[Irish1Smurf]

his voice is very angelic, maybe too angelic for this song, but definitely super talented

[atleskra]

nessie med jan ligger flere steder her;)

[RememberJan]

Det er faktisk en viss forskjell på Nessun Dorma (Nessie) og Nella Fantasia - som JW har sunget mye.

[4260laurel]

Nobody sings with the passion and notes like this man did...thank God I have found him through Youtube- love in the USA

[EVAHARTful]

I agree with you, and I found him through YouTube too - a few weeks ago - and I am a Norwegian who moved to USA in 1995. I only saw him in the European Song Contest in 1994, but cannot, for some reason, remember this song.

[RememberJan]

OK, once and for all - the big "Who's best, Jan Werner or Tommy Korberg" question.

First of all, there's a big difference here. Jan Werner was 17 when he did this version, Korberg was almost 40 when he first did the recording in 1984 and in the West End in 1986.

This video and profile are here as a tribute to Jan Werner. So, I'm not interested in more "he's nothing compared to Korberg" comments. If you want to say something about Korberg, find one of his videos and say your praise there.

[RememberJan]

Worth keeping in mind: Jan Werner is no longer amongst us. Have some f-ing respect for those who care.

[LikeIceland]

@RememberJan The two of them can't be compared at all, and why should we??? Did Jan Werner ever play the part of the Russian? Anyways, it's too bad we lost him, what a gift he had! Just imagine all the wonderful music we will never hear !!

[stellafromsweden]

inte lika bra som körberg, men bra nära...=-)

[maegzz81]

beklager, men da har du ikke peiling på klassisk musikk og stemmer... Kørberg var god, Jan werner var i verdens yppersteklasse, i innlevelse, stemme, timing og kraft. Uansett, Meget godt sagt RememberJan Han er ikke er til å forsvare seg, så vis respekt. Det har han fortjent,!

[singinginnorway]

Guds vilje har komt over sitt barn

Jan Werner !

[maegzz81]

"du verden som den stemmen holdt"... Oppsummerer i grunn hele hans karriere. Jeg savner den stemmen. Har Jan Werner spilt inn Nessun Dorma noen gang? Rip Jan

[RememberJan]

Enig med deg!

Jeg tror ikke JW har sunget Nessun Dorma noengang. Nessie (som den populært kalles blant operasangere) er tross alt en operasang og JW var vel strengt talt ingen operasanger, så det hadde overrasket meg hvis han hadde gjort den.

[maegzz81]

ok, synd, takk for alle de videoene du har lagt ut forresten, fantastisk bra!

[RememberJan]

Bare hyggelig :)

[Anemodarmenos]

Simply perfect voice...What a loss for music.. RIP jan

[Frosting60]

Herregud så god han var!!!

[4260laurel]

constantly leaves me breathless.

[maegzz81]

herregud for et tap..:( for en stemme!! Største stemmen norge har hatt...

[mammathias]

Håper Jan Werner forstod hvor høyt han var elsket, og hvor mye han betydde for mange.

[Prissie28]

Husker godt dette. Jeg heia sånn på ham, og så vant han heldigvis!

[thomasinnorway]

Så kjempe artig å se dette. Hadde ikke sett denne før. Finner altid noe, og takk for at du la ut videoen :o)

[sunglasses82]

Det her er rett og slett vakkert.

[gmhboi]

fantastic!!!

[romsaki]

What a brilliant singer.

[nuttegull]

Huske det så godt. Fikk gåsehud og satt klistra til skjermen helt betatt.

[p0t4t0ch1p5]

I love this song so much.. Sooooo much.. Jan Werner is amazing! RIP Mr. Werner

[4260laurel]

What happened that he died so young? What a talent......screw the american idol crap- listen tho this voice!

[RememberJan]

Heart failure.

And I agree. Screw American Idol.

[4260laurel]

Oh God, What a loss to us all.

[4260laurel]

every time I see this I get chills....rarely do you see as much passion as this boy puts into it...does he have others?

[RememberJan]

Click on my name to see about 50 others

[artula01]

Fantastisch nummer om te horen! Heb dit nummer door diverse artiesten horen zingen maar deze versie door de helaas te vroeg overleden zanger Jan Werner Danielsen bezorgt mij waar kippenvel!!

[carlsburgh]

this is just out of the top draw ,brilliant.wat a star he was r.i.p jan werner

[wrath687]

amazing voice :D

[magnuswarnessmusical]

Jan werner er som sagt tidligere et av mine største forbilder når det kommer til sang. sjekk gjerne ut mine opptak, å legg gjerne igjen kommentarer:)

[Bjoerrelli]

This is E-major one whole note above the original key D-major

[baskindude]

It's definitely D-major up until about 3:20.

[4260laurel]

I love this number....and who is this singer- he's just terrific......stunning performance.

[RememberJan]

A Norwegian singer called Jan Werner, who sadly passed away in 2006. This was the performance that won him fame back in 1994.

[Lureboy]

What a voice - what a guy! RIP Jan Werner

[aggharu]

Please people...just enjoy the music, stop making comparation. I'm sick of it. I wish there is no space for making comments......

[Ahelen93]

jeg får ro i sjela av å høre på sangene hans. ^^ Hvil i fred

[heligkossa]

Har alltid elsket Anthem. Har fått äen å synge den solo i ulike kor jeg vert med i, denne sangen er speciell på alle måter. JW gjorde den fantastisk bra. Jeg er rört helt enkelt.

[nonshari]

There is something soooo touching in Jan Werner's voice that I feel breathless.....

[vythedaniel]

Jeg synes denne versonen er ganske mye bedre enn Tommy sin..

[muzicanoz]

As a native English speaker I'm always amazed at how good his English is. I wish I could pronounce another language as well especially at seventeen - it's almost flawless.

[xxRockst4r]

really the nordic countries are really good at english.

[Ahelen93]

yeah right xD hehe. I'm Norwegian!!

[123metalboy123]

They are, have you ever heard a spanish or an afrikan talk english? omg xD

[blondetrumpetboy]

Thumbs down dude. English was not his first language and he was only 17. Jan Werner's voice was astounding. He is on par with Josh Groban, Freddy Mercury, Tommy, they are all wonderful singers in their own way. Really, with such a big difference in age you can't compare him with Tommy. But if I had to compare them when Jan was older, Jan is overall a superior vocalist to Tommy. Just my two cents.

[Kewsekris]

About the vibrato.... i saw a documentary about freddy mercury. this guy who met him when he was young said that freddy sounded like a chicken when he sang. Even though see what we say about him today. one of the best vocalists ever. jan was 17 here and people complain about his english? he was asked by brian may to be the next vocalist of queen. körberg is over 40 and jan is 17. wake up people

[vythedaniel]

Det er noen sanger som er skapt for andre mennesker. Og denne sangen som Jan synger er skapt for meg !

[Kewsekris]

skapt for deg?

[RememberJan]

Does the word SEVENTEEN mean anything to you?

Tommy was nearly 40 when he first did Chess. Age actually DOES make a slight difference.

[Kewsekris]

hehe ive heared to körbergs version. and if you have ever heared the studio version of this from jan werner then you will hear that jan is far above körberg. körberg pushes too hard on the powerfull note and there is not much volume to get there. ive heared jan werner hit above F#5 in chest voice in some sort of belting. only one ive ever heared do so is david phelps. körberg is good but far from jan.

[RememberJan]

Amen.

[lither]

It seems like you and RememberJan are only talking about the power of voice/how wide their range is. That's just stupid if you're comparing how good the singers are. Körberg has a more powerful way of telling stories when he's singing and Jan Werner brought some nasalization to his tones now and then. And still, 10 years after, he had major problems pronounciating different words. Jan Werner had an awesome voice, I know. But to me, you're comparing ranges, not singers (Körberg's a baritone btw).

[RememberJan]

I'm talking about that *too*, no doubt about it. The power, range, technique is a big part of a person's voice. The emotion is always important as well, but *my* personal choice between Jan Werner and Korberg will always be Jan Werner - because he has all of the above.

[nonshari]

Absolutely brilliant !!!! Jan u r the best !!!!

[grandsisterb]

Eat my shorts:D He´s the best!

[Kewsekris]

Can't understand why the lyrics is of that big importance. for my own part i really don't care. I just listen to the voice:)

[ciginj]

DPONet Guess you hate 90% of all English and American singers then, this seventeen year old has amazing diction -get a life!

[DPONet]

I just think it's really distracting that's all.

[mairanya1]

Amazing.  Thank you.

[vythedaniel]

Frysninger gjennom hele sangen, men spesielt fra 3:51-3:56

[Astrid270718]

Jeg savner deg,Werner!

[heeege12]

fantastisk:D

[HefinR]

awesome , absolutely awesome...my favourite song and what a voice!!

[carlsburgh]

if i was norwegian id be so proud of wat music this young man belted out in such a shortlife ,sadly missed r.i.p jan werner

[MrNorway100]

It's maybe to much vibrato, but that was Jan Werners way to perform...

Nothing can come close to that!!

[tomsveum]

Dette er helt magisk....

Er så totalt overlegent hva folk på den alderen levererer i programmer som Idol og Norske Talenter nå til dags...

[Cissibabe]

He haas a very smooth voice. No unneccessary wailing. Very good

[tenoralkid]

He is fantastic, no doubt about that. but sometimes his vibrato is too much

[RememberJan]

Many of you may not know that Jan Werner and Tommy Korberg did a show together in 2003.

[pgass2001]

Great.. But to much vibrato :(

[sanmarino89]

omg, I looove him. this is soo beautiful, and no training?:O it's impossible

[hermanessences]

He was 17 years old in this clip, and he never took any singing lessons!?!? I mean, WOW! Did he learn this by himself, or were his parents classical singers and taught him? Anyway, I didn't realize how amazing a vocalist he actually was until recently... Too bad he never got famous internationally, he certainly deserved that. Jan forever <3

[RememberJan]

He taught himself :)

He once heard a TV personality say that Barbra Streisand was the best singer in the world, and he thought to himself, "So if I can get as good as her, I can be the best in the world too..."

So he put on his Barbra tunes on full volume, lay on his back and tried to outsing her. In my humble opinion, he went past Barbra years ago...

[OTKK]

Ubeskrivelig følelse man får av å høre jan werner's stemmer, å spesielt denne sangen! herlig! <3

[lagers12]

I have heard 3 excellent versions of this song, Tommy Korberg, Anthony Warlow and this young man. They are all brilliant but let's not forget who the real stars of this song are. They will go down in history alongside Sibelius and other great composers. They have come a long way since Waterloo.

[askensi]

En mektig stemme..

Mektig sanger...

RIP

[Lureboy]

Som sagt - du var genial Werner. RIP - og syng for oss når vi møtes :)

[19dolly91]

jan werner!

så utroli fantastisk!

[zeelord]

Han var rett og slett for stor for norge.

[Lureboy]

Så totalt enig!

[wowyourgaiy]

I'm going to say the same thing I said about Korberg. Both excellent performers, but both would be INCREDIBLE with training. Otherwise, they are easy to pick apart.

[findmeapassword]

How much voice training do you think a 17 year old boy should have exactly ?

[RememberJan]

He never had any, either before or after.

[findmeapassword]

And Just listen. - Do you think he really needed it - EVER ? I'm sorry but he is my hero and I carry him with me every day Untill the day we meet

[RememberJan]

Exactly. With a voice like that at 17, it's hardly shocking that he had the voice he had later on. Sigh.

[919191x]

@RememberJan what do you mean with"it's hardly shocking that he had the voice he had later on. Sigh"?

[RememberJan]

@919191x I mean what I said: With a voice like this at 17, it's hardly surprising he went on to having an outstanding voice as an adult.

[919191x]

@RememberJan ops sorry! i didn't see "hardly" ! XD

[biorag]

Never had chills actually persist for minutes!! Unbelievable!!

[tomsveum]

Dette hadde vært noe for dagens Idol-finalister å prøvd seg på gitt......de hadde nok falt grusomt igjennom.....

[kiresralll]

La oss håpe de ikke prøver seg på det, for dems egen skyld tenker jeg på... og for oss som ser på også egentlig

[OniStarshine]

Just one thing RememberJan, Tommy Körberg have never had any training.. he is amazing, and so is this guy!

[Fuminori]

woah woah woah.

How powerful!

Some differnt sounds in some spots but man.  Gave me chills.

[kennta9876]

...fantastisk...

[enrigmamo]

Jan Werner kicked everybodys ass!!!

[Yoachim9]

...gåsehud...

[tomsveum]

Synes Jan Werner sin versjon som 17 åring overgår Tommy Kørberg sin versjon for å si det sånn....

[badlakan]

hmm, u cant measure this guy whit T Korberg and J Groban.

He sings good, but not so good!

[RememberJan]

He was 17 here. T Korberg and J Groban both have training, JW never did. He was 17 here, and performing in front of an audience/on TV for the first time.

Check out the other version from 2004 to get a better picture of what he could do vocally.

[LesMisLover]

Check out Bring Him Home with the singer: Mads Belden

AMAZING VOICE

[Sisiliee]

he is better than tommy körberg!!!

thanks.

he is actually the best. this is real talent, and a story so sad that our whole country is crying.

[merioli]

haha... I'm sorry. What a totally shitty interpretation, imo mind you.

And DON'T say he's better than tommy körberg. That's opinion, but I'll tell you something that isn't - he's about ten times more nasal and uneven throughout his voice than Körberg ever was or will be.

[RememberJan]

He was SEVENTEEN you dud.

[tenoralkid]

Albeit an outstanding interpretation of the song, I would never say that he beats Tommy Körberg. That guy is the best=)

[cRaSyTeNoR69]

what a shame...such great talent!R.I.P dude

[cRaSyTeNoR69]

how did he die?

[RememberJan]

The reason has been stated to be heart failure.

[Hardtmand]

Tommy couldnt reach notes like werner could. tommy is good, but a minor compared to werner

[noakwesterberg]

There is only one person who can sing this song, Tommy Körberg.

[konge1]

Bedre enn Tommy Kørberg! Excellent!!

[Ella1464]

What an amazing voice he had. Poor guy, too young to die. :(

[tomsveum]

Jan Werner var norges desidert største stemme, lenge til vi får oppleve noen som han igjen. RIP Jan Werner

[tigerjenta87]

mannen er genial(eller var)

[tomsveum]

Norges desidert største stemme...lenge til vi får oppleve noe som han igjen. RIP Jan Werner
