Kurt Nilsen (World Idol) Silence live

[TheKitahKat]

I find him incredibly sexy. He's got ...something? That voice, that confidence. Very, sexy.

[UInTheSun]

Micheal Strahan, Madonna would be proud.

[Abaqwa]

Прекрасный голос!! Молодец Курт, но  или я дурак или у него гитара наоборот?

[Daizik]

@Abaqwa Да, он держит гитару по другому.

[buratinka99]

@Abaqwa он левша

[DreadHeadFourTwenty]

[amcw]

@DreadHeadFourTwenty he is left-handed but he taught himself to play on a right handed guitar, just flipped over.

[Smokeyb33r]

@DreadHeadFourTwenty left handed

[1fast2liter]

@DreadHeadFourTwenty good eye... didnt notice till you said somthing

[scottturchin]

@DreadHeadFourTwenty I have a friend who is a lefty and plays a right handed bass upside down - pretty good skill!



[mario4prez]

[BAR203407]

[m4r10c4]

someone besides me noticed that he was using the guitar upside down ? he's a GENIOUS !!

[MstrWilson]

@m4r10c4 you probably consider anyone who can actually spell genius a genious.

[xZWaREFaRExZ]

@m4r10c4 I honestly hope you're joking.

[genstonewall]

@m4r10c4 Did you also notice he's left-handed?

[bobbyrma]

Great voice! Unfortunately to get a US record deal, he has to have a rapper in the middle of his songs.

[TEAMIMPORTKILLER]

awesome voice i wat to buy the cd, is it available in the united states?

[amcw]

@TEAMIMPORTKILLER yes, at amazon, but they are rather expensive as they are imports.

[TEAMIMPORTKILLER]

@amcw

thanks for the info, its worth the money great voice i like this singer

[Petriealright]

@TEAMIMPORTKILLER iTunes, dude

[ccjarek]

mnie sie podoba! (pl)



[meganburnss]

he sort of sounds like the lead singer of Keane.

[max0ruk]

@meganburnss THANK YOU!!! god! i was waitin for that!

[gnawy113]

definitly underated !!

[amcw]

@SheFilly92 if you want to hear more, click my nick. I was at a concert 3 weeks ago and filmed some of it. :)

[Celextia]

he is the kind of singer that makes every song look good, I will support him because I miss artisr with true talent !

[NothingMuchToIt]

Needs Braces

[amcw]

@NothingMuchToIt you need a brain!

[sajko1337]

@NothingMuchToIt Your mouth need to be stuffed with cocks. Shut the fuck up.

[alexhibhib]

OH MAN! THIS GUY HAVE A PERFECT VOICE!!!

[Matshoppahulle]

@alexhibhib he is up there with: Freddy Mercury, Elvis, Salomon Burke, Ray Charles, Otis Redding and so on.

Keep checking him out. No disappointments!

[DjentFan]

dude...the strings are on the right way for it to be right handed...so idk...because the low E is on the bottom...

[aandreya]

i'm so glad internet became such an important part. how much excelent european music would be unheard otherwise.

[Engberg8403]

Of all the Idol toons across the globe that have won this guy is the only one worth mentioning. Best singer i've ever heard that's under the age of 50. I hate Idol, but i love KURT!

[MrSilentDoubleA]

@Engberg8403 watch?v=X1QO1daK688

Best singer, ever :)

[Engberg8403]

Of all the Idol toons across the globe that have won this guy is the only one to mention. Best singer i've ever heard that's under the age of 50. I hate Idol, but i love KURT!

[NeonTreesLUVA96]

kurt nislen is just soooooooo amazing. his voice is really amazing too. i just love it when he sings it shuts me up and listens to him. its just soooooooo flippin amazing!!!!!!! i have no words to speak on how amazing he is!

[Toffypops]

on play . com you can buy it. Search for his name.

[TeSSiTra]

Han rör sig så sexigt ( vet inte vrf ja fastna för det haha men shit^^)

He moves so sexy ! ( dont know why i got stucked to tht) But oh yeah ;)

[martasashimi]

love it and now he is on the radio with this beautiful song . I feel so good that this is happening because Simon said once that he was never ever be contracted by any recording company . Now he is going to have to swallow his stupids and ironic words because hi needs to know that his word is never going to be the last one. Great job Kurt you are great and handsome too by the way.

[IndiaWhiskeyHotel]

very good voice !!!

[MpZeBoXeR]

best voice i have ever heard in my entire life i swear everyone.

[CattailsandRoses]

@MpZeBoXeR Have you heard Jeff Buckley's songs? Unfortunately the world doesn't have him anymore except for his superb album Grace--listen to songs Dream Brother/Mojo Pin/ Last Goodbye--all of them and enjoy!!OH,and......He is possibly the best guitarist ever at the same time--Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin admired Jeff's artistry-----Ilove Kurt almost as much, but Jeff was THE BEST,in my adoring opinion

[NeonTreesLUVA96]

he is sooo amazing!!!

[zinnyzxx]

I don't think i've ever seen someone who's face didn't match the voice so much.

Not bashing at all, he's a great singer, I just picture a tim mcgraw dude.

[Vippe101]

@zinnyzxx well it wouldnt work if you could have everything ^^ he just got a little bit less of a appealing face and a little bit more of a divine voice :P

[zinnyzxx]

@Vippe101 much more divine voice. haha

[Vippe101]

@zinnyzxx agreed :P

[dtpcopycat]

@zinnyzxx You think the vocalcords have a connection to the looks of a person??? just wow...well i guess thats what we get when even the music industry has more focus on how people look than how well they sing.

The sad part is to think about all the excellent vocalists out there that dont get a chance based on how they look.

If this guy had just a fraction of the media budget that topselling artists in the US have, he would be on every1's lips.

[zinnyzxx]

@dtpcopycat No not at all man. Just when you hear this guy's voice, you don't picture him looking like this. He's an amazing singer.

yeah, thats why we get shit like nickelback.

[Malyra94]

He sounds like Keane.

Great :)

[moranih]

wooooo, I love this. The beginning where no one is singing is just amazing

[OneEyedJack1970]

You can play a guitar pretty much anyway you want. You guys ever see Jeff Healey play?

[Shishawunder]

i think the most of the women watching this are thinking "damn.. why isn´t he 20kg less weighted and a bit prettier"

[rosenpur]

Hahahahahahaha I prefer an ugly guy with a wonderful voice than gorgeous guy but stupid by far.

[Shishawunder]

@rosenpur dont lie to urself...

[OneEyedJack1970]

@Shishawunder You'd be surprised how many are thinking "damn, that guy's voice just made me wet." They don't think like we do.

[MagicRazor8]

HELL YES. HE PLAYS SOUTHPAW

[rikaSounds]

love this song so much...AND THE VOICE OF KURT NILSEN <3

[wiouxev]

The drummer looks like a retarded Brett Favre!

[dreamshooter90]

@wiouxev He wasn't already retarded? Oh, no! Wait. You for commenting something that stupid.

Good song! Good voice. Good Band! :D

[FrasiliasPower]

@wiouxev Can't he just enjoy playing drums and concentrating in playing correct?

[ammorabd]

صوت جميل نتمنى له التوفيق

[Bearlookinthemirror]

Awseome Nils!

[jolaletowska]

Kurt Nilsen śpiew "Silence" na żywo w studiu nagraniowym, gdzie nagrał album "Push Push "

[kickmyask82]

awesome voice.

[rpena728]

wow he sounds like a country singer from America! I'm surprised he is not hot. Most Norwegians are super hot!

[Opethvince]

@rpena728 Most norwegians look like him. They just never take them out of the cellar.... This is a special case. Hahaha,

I had too.

And by the way, wouldn't it be truly awful being the background singer all of your life... Damn.

[Michaela4075]

Ganz große Klasse! Ich liebe Kurt Nilsens Stimme, weil sie so einzigartig ist und soviel Wärme ausstrahlt. Hoffentlich hört man viel mehr von ihm.

[drozdziu298]

He looks like Louie Anderson from cartoon "Life with Louie" :P

[4everclairebear]

this is one of the best!

[DaddysLittleGirl4197]

his voice makes him sexy ^.^

[slycooper1013]

He is awesome and very talented:D why hasn't any record labels picked him up yet? I would totally by his cd

[amcw]

@slycooper1013 He is signed with Sony/BMG Norway. His cds are available, but can be quite difficult and expensive to come by unless you live in Europe. Solo cds called "I" (2003/4), "A Part of Me" (2004), "Push Push" (2007), "Rise to the Occasion" (2008), "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (2010).

[TheAHarbin]

@Slycooper1013: Actually they arent hard to get at all. You can google it...and find that you can go to (For example) Amazon.de and click translate..I just bought hiscd and they do the conversion rate there for you and then you pay. SIMPLE! And the cds are pretty cheap. I bought one for E7, which equals to $9..Thats really good. And they were alot on sale on his cds.

[TheAHarbin]

@amcw Oh you didnt like my comment did you? Its true....But thanks for the upload

[dtpcopycat]

@slycooper1013 he has released several records and they all sell extremely well in Norway. If the same % of the american population had bought his records he would have sold about 60-70 million in the US. Sony has him signed. I guess the world is too superficial to let an extremely talented artist get big on talent alone. The music industry is too much about looks im afraid. Tabloids only have room for Bieber/Gaga atm. His albums are available on itunes though

[rpena728]

@slycooper1013 You can download all his songs on Amazon or I-Tunes

[JufBoeliewoelie]

@slycooper1013 Yeah me too!

[suzesunshine1]

Why is it that comments on sites can not manage to be done with respect and class. If you cannot make comments without hate filled vulgarity, what does that really say about yourself. And why does anyone think they are better, than anyone else. This is just one segment, but THIS is the mentality in life's interactions that brings our civilization DOWN.Please rethink this and make a change to better our world. It is also good to google something before commenting,if you don't know.EndsBickering

[Dsemml]

he s left hand isnt he

[etaeb63]

diese stimme ist das was uns so faziniert

[omaishi]

love him

[gollje]

buddy, ive seen him live. so to answer to your "vocals seems to perfect", yes this is live. He won world idol for a reason bud

[funkyguyxxx]

I doubht this is live? I dont see a piano player...the vocals are too perfect, and the drums seem to be quantized

[zavaliikataa]

Kurt Nilsen really sings from hes heart and the song is good but he docent play on that guitar at least in the video because the guitar is turned on the wrong position (right) and some of you will say he might be left handed well if he was then the strings wouldn't be on that position

[amcw]

@zavaliikataa yes he is playing that guitar, that is how he taught himself to play, on a right handed guitar flipped as he is left handed - Jimi Hendrix played the same way. He always plays this way.

[tycer18]

@amcw Yes but Jimi Hendrix strung it with low E on top still. Kurt Nilsen is playing it upside down still with the high E on top.

[scoobysnack0405]

@amcw As does one of the back-up guitarists for Pink Floyd does.

[hellomynameisHailey]

@amcw wait, so he plays literally upside down? pwhoa.

[zavaliikataa]

@amcw with the strings in the wrong position ????

[amcw]

@zavaliikataa YES, THIS IS HOW HE PLAYS THE GUITAR! Watch watch?v=gf52QOI_yBw where he plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar and drums on the recorded version of the song - which he also produced.

[streak32495]

@amcw Hendrix flipped a right handed guitar the other way and restrung it

[hobogutter666]

@amcw I am left handed too! :D I am honoured to play guitar the same way as this man!

[wronganswermcfly]

@amcw well except this guy literally has the strings kept the exact same way and its upside down, jimi restrung his guitar so it was the normal way he just played on a right-handed body because it was waaaay cheaper and he got used to it. i am a lefty playing righty actually, i can hang on a left handed guitar but im not as good.

[thomasharman14]

@amcw Jimi played a right handed guitar left handed but he also flipped the strings so it was exactly the same as a left handed guitar, Kurts playing in EBGDAE instead of EADGBE.

[highguyontour]

@amcw jimmy hendrix wasn't lefthanded?

[amcw]

@highguyontour I believe he was :) Although I have just watched a youtube original video of "All along the Watchtower" where he's playing right handed! watch?v=bng3agUOYiI On this one he's playing left handed - watch?v=gv3cKLWQimE

[TheSara90]

@amcw kurt cobain also played this way

[tycer18]

@zavaliikataa  Type in Mark Hutchins and watch some of his stuff. He plays the guitar that way too. It's pretty cool.

[dejavu3552]

@zavaliikataa yeeee you got told take a seat

[zavaliikataa]

@dejavu3552 andd youuuu shut the fuckkkk uppp you don't knoww anything you cant playy with strings the wrong wayyy dont embarrass your self thouse 3 sels in your brain don't help much fucking brain washed American

[amcw]

@zavaliikataa not saying it again - but Kurt does play the guitar with the strings "the wrong way up". I've seen him live on many occasions, so it's YOU who is embarrassing yourself by keep going on about it and calling everyone else !

[zavaliikataa]

@amcw omg fucking kidss im not trying to argue or anything i was just asking palate i guess youu are as stupid as the little boy beforee what can i say you don't have enough brain capacity to think soo please DON'T embarrass your fucking self (tanks)

[dejavu3552]

@zavaliikataa hahahah alright mister troll but you got told and ur an idiot

dont hate cause ur not an american go die u commy

[munsterhunter92]

@zavaliikataa yes the strings are upside down, look harder please th you

[richardtemple]

@zavaliikataa Check out one of the greats: Jimi Hendrix, his guitar is left and upside-down too.

[quietkid13]

Alot of people play like that. Guitar is a form of art, and you can't do art wrong

[OneManAndHisToaster]

Congratulation, great music, great players! :)

[coucmark]

Hunchback concept?  With only the most respect though! This guy's name is forcing its way up my favs list.

[NewGlobalEnglish]

Anyone has the lyrics for this song?

[amcw]

@NewGlobalEnglish

 fansite: kurtnilsenmedia has lyrics to Kurt's songs

[1nocook]

nice voice

[shombiel]

What an incredible voice

[NeonTreesLUVA96]

omg hes amazing!

[HcWeaner]

i like the bass run :-)

[Zancia80]

uwielbiam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!111111

[Eatspeggetti]

Beautiful.

[zlota600]

niesamowity głos!

[peachgirl1988]

great work ^^ like that!!

[lbaflint]

The problem with the music industry today is it's turned most listeners into viewers. The world I grew up in music was for the ears not the eyes, thank God! When I think of all the great artist from my youth such as Doobie brothers, Seals and Croft, Neil Young, and soooooo many others I can't stop wondering how many great ones have gotten away because the fans have been brain washed into supporting only artist that have good clevage and great legs. Hopefully the internet will turn that around

[poldsmobile]

@lbaflint please take this message to the highest rooftop and shout it out. Music is ALL about the sound, the dancers and cheep slutty outfits have just destroyed it. most people under thirty don't even know what music is. If you can turn the lights out, shut your eyes and see the most brilliant pictures of your life, you've found music.

[lbaflint]

@oldsmobile Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure there are more of us out there @ACMW for one :)

Love your turn the lights out. Been playing guitar 40 years and loved taking it to different spots like the side of a brook, busy street corner, or a subway and try to pick up on the surrounding rhythms. My eyes were closed then also. But I must say my favorite spot is beside my daughters bed with my eyes open watching her fade off to the music I have picked to start her dreams.

[wiouxev]

Besides this being a great song, and Kurt's out of this world voice, the bass line is pretty stellar in this song.

[Mompster]

I ususally dont hear this kind of music, but his voice is just brilliant

[actioncameron]

Hauntingly wonderful. His cadence and overall sound is among the best I have ever heard. What a wonderful talent. Where has he been?

[Itjed]

When I first look at a person I don't so much see the person's features as I do someones characteristics (provides nice anekdotes, at one point I asked two girls whether they were family, turned out that they were identical twins, most of the time people couldn't tell them apart).

This guy's got charisma! Combined with his voice, he's a true Idol!!

[jimzzypeak]

His voice is just.... Perfect.

[47TheSteve]

How good is this guy. Wow.

[boredom847]

Kurt Nilson, i think i love you.

[Vippe101]

he Sacrificed his extreme sex appeal for extreme talent

[J03y29]

@Vippe101

Fuck, I'd do the same! Rather talent than look for Sure!

[MSNnn111]

@J03y29 Hell yeah !

[laurabelle1966]

@Vippe101 depends on who you ask.... he is a sex symbol to some. ;-)

[LoveMusic123211]

@Vippe101 you dont choose to be beautiful and his voice hasnt he just got from God.

He has gotten from hard work and only hard work.

remember that...

[Vippe101]

@LoveMusic123211 Not everyone got talent so thats a false statement. HOWEVER if you have talent and combine it with hard work it equals in... Kurt Nilsen

[shmuli9]

@Vippe101 I was sort of wondering this: does he have Down's Syndrome, or does he just LOOK like he does?

[Vippe101]

@shmuli9 he probably just got hit by a car xD

[islandbuoy4]

@Vippe101

you have a picture?

I will then be able to determine what kind of talent a low life like you might have?

what a punk you are.

you are ugly obviously

[Vippe101]

@islandbuoy4 haha yeah i am so ugly omgomgomg and im really fat to just so you know xD.. or not ht tp: //img 850.im age shack .us/i/ dsc 01821 .jpg/

there you have something to please your little trollbrain, but one thing i suppose we can agree on is that he aint very good-looking but he sure can sing right?

[islandbuoy4]

@Vippe101

my troll brain?

put up or shut up vippe

post a picture of your sad self

let the you-tubers decide if you are a prince or an ugly little troll on the OUTSIDE too!

[Vippe101]

@islandbuoy4 well you asked for it yourself :P and no im not trolling, and i dont think the other 50 ppl who thumbed it up is trolling either. HOWEVER i do think that you are trolling otherwise you wouldnt make such a big deal out of it. i am simply responding to what YOU'RE saying and im just answering YOUR questions, that is not trolling. if you see that as trolling then ask other questions.

[islandbuoy4]

@Vippe101

well it seems I am the odd thumb that sticks out.

not my problem

[meinrad1337]

There's just no good reason why we shouldn't be hearing this voice all over the radio. His vocals are just astounding, the verse he has on Hallelujah is just numbing. He sounds like a young Bono, but with his own spin.

[101YTFAN]

great beat! he's so enjoyable to hear and watch, cute & charming.
