I was there that night. 21,000 people blown away by what they had just seen. I could barely speak. I will never forget that day and that feeling. She’s amazing!
I have listened to Sissel sing this song perhaps ten times, both her performance of it at that Xmas concert, and other performances of the song. Every time I hear her sing it, my eyes get wet! Every time! She IS the best!
she makes you cry, doesn't she? well imagine me I've been listening to her for at least 25 YEARS. yes she has tremendous range as well as a beautiful delivery.
Thank you for your fast responds, i knew that you would love her. She has been the treasure of Norway since her early teens year, she is one of the worlds best ( if not the best ) sopranos. I think she is the only singer who has singed for this choir 3 times. BTW she is the hounting voice in the movie Titanic.
Celine sang the theme to Titanic... Sissel’s voice did the whole rest of the movie 😊. Her voice is unaffected and pure. Jealousy reigns high in this one
Never heard this, absolutely blown away. You are not the only one, Rob. This was one of the moments in life, I would call it. Thank you to whoever requested this. Wonderful. Thank you for making this my experience too, Rob 👍
Hei Sarlina, it was just a pleasure to request this song. I cant belive that after being one of the best singer in the world for over 3 decades there still are many that have not heard about her. So i have started to request for her songs, it kind of is in the spirit of Angelina.
@@daghugowilhelmsen5660 And I cant believe I havent heard more of her when I was living in Norway. Heard her of course, but never really paid attention. I did now, and it was wonderful. Thank you, my friend. Stay safe, Dag Hugo 👍
I remember Sissels first time singing on TV. She sang like an Angel already then. She is also a national treasure. She has been on the greatest stages singing.
It's the closest one can feel the spirit of God , close your eyes and let you be influenced by the sweetness of the feeling you are experiencing and you shall know that he lives your Saviour is with you. This experience reminds us all that there are more important things in life than wha the world teaches. The truth is in front of us. I testify that he lives. AMEN
Thank you for reacting to this! I love this song and Sissel, as well as your reaction. I keep coming back to this song over and over. I was there in the audience when this was recorded. The feeling of the Holy Ghost was so strong, and the standing ovation she received was also amazing. The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square is marvelous.
Anytime you want to feel nearer to God listen to the Tabernacle Choir, there are many renditions that will bring your emotions to its peak and bring you closer to God.
Sissel sang with this choir for their annual Christmas concert around 2008. The video of the finale song "Angels from the Realms of Glory" is on RUclips. You will see clips of other guest artists who sang this song over the years. You may want to do a reaction video to it around the holiday season. PBS airs the concert each year but it was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic. A 365 voice choir with a full orchestra in front of 21,000 is a sight to behold!
Theres music, and theres genious. In this performance Sissel showed me how the combination of an angelic voice and a soulfull interpretation can transend boundaries of faith. This is one of my favorite live performances ever, and I don't have a religious bone in my body. I'm actually not much of a fan of RUclips and it's commercial driven in the middle of a video anoing bullshit messages. But this performance got me signed up.
If new to Sissel you can have a fun afternoon listening to her career, 13 to 52, all sampled on RUclips. Her voice has a bewitching quality and she knows how to pitch a song's performance. Fine entertainer.
Not sure how I found my way to your channel, but Sissel is truly one special lady. Not only can she hold her own in front of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but she has been the most invited artist of all time to come and perform with them during their famous Pioneer Day Concerts as well as their Christmas Concerts. If you want a special treat, look some of her other performances with the choir to see just how magnificent she really is!
Sissel is a singer from Norway! First CD she was 16! She’s now 51. We all love her!!!! Look her up for more RUclipss. She will knock your socks off!!!!! She did the humming during movie Titanic!!! She has song with that choir only twice!!!! Check her out!!!! You won’t be sorry. Norway has great singers! Her hometown is Bergen Norway! Let those tears flow, man!!!! It’s good for you! Everyone there had tears! She also sung in the Hobbit movie! Where are you located?
Have seen you reactions to Dimash and , is great to see you react to Sissel. Have followed her for a long while now. Her last name Kyrkjebo if pronounced Shu-shu-bu ,is fairly close. She is a very, very lovely , humble lady. Highly revered in Norway.
Started singing in her early teens and still active. Listen to her singing Solitaire with Neal Sedaka. Sissel - Aurora - Angelina. So different - so equaly haunting.
Glad that you take Sisel. For me i AURORA my soulhealer and strongets emotional artist out there and her. But Sisel was first and her voice is the best of all nordic singer in my opinion. Listen to her in "Se over fjellet" her songcapacity is here is sublime
Woooow !!! I have to subscribe your channel, because you now have discovered Sissel too 🤩🤩 I am a big fan of Angelina and Aurora as well, and really enjoy your reactions to them 🙂❤️👍
Why not check out Susanne Sundfør! She makes her one music- fabulous!!! “ Undercover “ and When the Lord . She have inspired many both in Norway and abroad.
Thank you for reacting to Sissel Kyrkjebø. She is also one favourite music artists. You should react and read more about her. I can give you more suggestions to her and some other Norwegian music artists 😊
Thank you for a nice Sissel reaction. I hope you will react to more form Sissel, in December I suggest you react to her singing Holly Night (in Norwegian) it is the most spectacular version of the song I have ever heard. Until then I suggest her duet with Jose Carreras sining Quando Sento che Mi Ami, Solitude, Weightless and Pie Jesu, she is far superiors to Sarah Brightman. Sissel is form Bergen a town with a population of 284 000, the same town that Aurora is form. If the fancy hits you, you should react to Kurt Nilsen, the only artist to win World Idol Kelly Clarkson was the runner up. He's also form Bergen and has a very distinctive voice that will blow your sock off
@@kirstenh9865 Yepp ....bø means an open field ...or even more specific and descriptive is it to use the word meadow. It can be a cultivated meadow like on a farm or a natural open field/meadow. So kyrkjebø means the field/meadow the church stands on .... so it is all around the church ....not just in front of the church as you say.....
It was between Sissel and Celine Dion who was to sing my heart will go on for Titanic, James Horner decided to go with Celine since he had known her since she was 18.
Tom Bredesen That’s not the whole story. Sissel told me personally that Horner wrote “My Heart Will Go On” for her to sing. Here are the behind-the-scenes details: Horner offered the rights to the Titanic soundtrack to Sissel’s record label, PolyGram, for $1 million. A lot of people forget, but before Titanic was released, a lot of people were predicting it would bomb. PolyGram decided not to buy the rights. Sony ended up buying the rights and insisted a Sony artist sing the theme song, which is how the top-selling Sony artist came to sing “My Heart Will Go On.”
@@noriemeha By the way, I recorded the interview where Sissel told me Horner wrote the song specifically for her to sing. You can listen to it here: ruclips.net/video/2EP61N2iAWA/видео.html
Her first time she sang on TV was in 1984, it was a program for the ancients. She sang 2 songs, Sukiyaki ruclips.net/video/7R1EhfYsh-4/видео.html the other My Childhood Home (With text) ruclips.net/video/DK-RibCMHK4/видео.html 1991 Here you hear that she has a powerful voice. Imagine John Lennon ruclips.net/video/V4GpiRl7TM4/видео.html
As an atheist - I approve this performance. I must also confess I have had the pleasure of hearing her sing without a microphone more than a couple of times. You know when you lick your finger and stroke a crystal glass just right and the entire glass starts to resonate and then more until the entire room feels like it starting to resonate? This lady does that trick with her voice without a microphone. She makes it sound like the air-molecules align and start to resonate - especially when she holds them long tones. It sounds like she is singing inside my ears. An example is when she sings the one word "slow" around 3:45. When hearing her doing that magic trick without a microphone and how loudly that softest of voice fills the biggest of spaces - it is bonkers, man. Banshee of x-men is able to fly on his sound-waves (or something). I think this lady can do the same - because she is not so much singing as she is somehow making the atoms in the air dance waves - like one can stroke a glass making it sing resonance. It is a bloody physical experience that is very different from a gazillion watts actually pushing air physically via huge membranes. Even outdoors - it sounds like nature itself is turning into the most perfect acoustic space because of happy atoms. She is not the only one who can do this (I happen to have two professional opera soloists as friends) - but when she does the trick she does in this performance - I am still an atheist) And she does it better live. I happen to think that she may be confusing microphone and recording technology, probably because they think they are clipping at 65 dB or something weird.
yep I'm Atheist as well but tell you what it does not matter when it comes to Sissel. she just has an awesome voice with clarity, range, vibrato. Since almost from the day I heard her over 30 years ago she is tops on my list of female artists. And of course she has changed a bit with age but she still has what it takes. Enya turned 61yo and she still sounds great as well. I also like the Soprano singer Emer Barry.
as good as this is, this is definitely NOT one of Sissel's best performances. just off the top of my head, among her songs that I would most recommend listening to her singing include Ave Verum Corpus, Dream a Little Dream of Me, Going Home, If You Love Me, In Dreams, Lascia Chio Pianga, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, Make You Feel My Love, O Mio Babbino Caro, One Day, Pie Jesu, Shenandoah, Titanic wordless vocals, Weightless, and You Will Never Walk Alone
well its difficult to choose and to each they're own. She is just awesome with everything thing she does. That humming in Titanic was absolutely haunting with her tremendous range. you would not think a Soprano could reach such low notes. hey you forgot to mention Auld Lang Syne which she sings in English (she sings in 15 languages & speaks perfect English with no British dialect I do not know how she can do this!).
Recommend that you copy the name, paste it into Google Translator, translate into Norwegian and listen to the pronunciation there, it is perfect in Norway, so it should probably work in the US as well,
![Slow Down - Sissel (2019 Pioneer Concert with The Tabernacle Choir) [FIRST EVER REACTION]](/img/1.gif)
Every time I hear this song I cry! Such an amazing song.
What you are feeling when you listen to this is the spirit of God.
I was there that night. 21,000 people blown away by what they had just seen. I could barely speak. I will never forget that day and that feeling. She’s amazing!
I can't remember ever crying, but she has the tears rolling. Angelic
I have listened to Sissel sing this song perhaps ten times, both her performance of it at that Xmas concert, and other performances of the song. Every time I hear her sing it, my eyes get wet! Every time! She IS the best!
This performance is the best I have ever heard in over 70 years
She is the greatest. Ever. Really.
It is an experience. It is something your feel. She brings the Holy Spirit right to pierce every heart listening with her reverent singing.
This is the main song that got me through the horrible lockdowns… So grateful to Sissel and the Choir At Tabernacle Square ❤️🤩😍
The message of this song is awesome and so important for us today.
she makes you cry, doesn't she? well imagine me I've been listening to her for at least 25 YEARS. yes she has tremendous range as well as a beautiful delivery.
Hearing this in person is life changing!
She got a one minute standing ovation from a crowd of almost 20,000. Never happened before in the Temple Square...
Certainly not mid-concert. It was history.
She got a standing ovation from the 19.000 people in the audience ❤️
Sublime Celestial Talent.
Be still my heart. When Sissel sings, God and the angels smile.
Thank you for your fast responds, i knew that you would love her.
She has been the treasure of Norway since her early teens year, she is one of the worlds best ( if not the best ) sopranos.
I think she is the only singer who has singed for this choir 3 times.
BTW she is the hounting voice in the movie Titanic.
Sissel is the best of the best.Sad most people have not heard about her.
Celine sang the theme to Titanic...
Sissel’s voice did the whole rest of the movie 😊.
Her voice is unaffected and pure.
Jealousy reigns high in this one
Sissel will be live in Salt Lake this weekend (24 April 2022) for Music and the Spoken Word and will sing Slow Down. So excited!

You should listen to her singing Going Home.
Sissel also sings the Titanic hymn after Titanic hit the ice mountain.
Do you mean “Nearer My God to Thee”? That is a beautiful song. I love music, good music and that is one of my favorites.
Finf Shenandoah by Sissel, and you will become silent! She is amazing! Do the one with Paddy, irish flutist!

Bergen delivers:) susanne sundfør is a few hours from Bergen, she is from Haugesund I think. Huge talent
You should listen to Sissel’s other songs: “Wait A While”, “Weightless”, or “Where The Lost Ones Go.”
Kyrkjebø means churchyard.
In Norway we call her for gold voice.
Bø = field Kyrkjebø, field in front Of church

Can you please recat " never walk alone" Sissel. She sing it soo beutiful.
U are like most of us just us
You know, I am an atheist, but I still listen to this when I need comfort.
Astonishing that the «The tabernacle choir” should be unknown for an American! It is in Salt Lake City in Utah, the grand central of Mormonism.
