Dear Russel , you have just discovered THE most superb artiist ,she resembles no one , she is an exemple of singinging mastership, she possesses an incredible beautiful and UNIQUE voice . You have felt the subtlelty and intelligence she conceals . Go on , fellow ! Alain (Belgium .)
You just discovered the Norwegian national treasure. She is a hidden gem that has been performing for four decades. I loved your reactions of her. Thank you for this one. I really hope you will react to more of her songs. Like Einar K suggested, you should try react to her performing "The Old Castle". It's a mind-blowing performance. And she also wrote the lyrics by herself.
Summertime (Gershwin's Porgy & Bess) is always sung, in my experience, with this contrastive range of register. Sissel gives a decent account here. She is 49 years old here with over three decades of professional singing, so she knows what she's about. It shows in the apparent ease of her delivery.
Thank you for reacting to Sissel. She has such clear tone annd great range. Many great videos. Please review more of her work. You will not be disappointed.
Try this song called "The Old Castle" performed in Sweden in 2006...ruclips.net/video/wI8t1F1teDQ/видео.html. Sissel is a real gem, our Norwegian treasure. Nice reaction Russel
This lady is slightly my elder. And she did the most awesome (and weird) thing ever. The three original big "sopranos" were flexing to perform with her back in the 90s. She was primed to blow the lid off the planet. She then became a mother and she seems to have thought - meh - I can make a million (USA money) by giving a few concerts per year and have mostly days playing at home with my family. I am lucky enough to have heard her sing in person for me 3 times. Her tonal quality is insane. And her vibrato is physically moving internal organs in ways that does not make physical sense. She hits some notes that reminds me of David Gilmore (?) saying that he was playing his guitar in search of that ONE note. This lady was smiling while singing the Olympics of 1994 into reality. Because Norway really tried to put their best foot forward for the world. The reason she is not a global phenomenon is very Scandinavian. It is not about quality time. It is about the quality OF time. She simply sayd "priority for 20 years are my family - I am still making a million dollars per year. When I am dying with just 50 million dollars banked in 2070 - that would not really allow me to travel back in time to hang out with my family as young" She is that good (and lazy from American perspectives) asking "why do I need to make 2 million a year?"
She has always had her priorities right. She hasn´t let the industry corrupt her. Love her. An exceptional singer. Please check out more of her works. Share her. The world needs to be treated by her wonderful voice. And she is a humble sincere individual. Thanks.
Not as famous as lesser talents but then, as you say, that is not important to her. She has largely kept control of who she is & what she does in the music industry.

She is absolutely incredible and there will be some more reactions for her music.
@@RussellFamilyReactions That's wonderful. Her voice needs to be shared with the world.
I completely agree with you
Sissel - there are no words adequate enough to describe her.
Your reaction- PRICELESS!
Love her!

Great reaction to this to me an Operatic performance that I found magnificent and I'm not into Opera, God Bless!
Holy Crap..this is mindblowing

One must notice that if Sissel is known for her soprano coloratur high notes , she can move you with her superb mezzo register too. Haaa ! Alain

If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
Sissel : Weightless
She is phenomenal a Norwegian
Will you be reacting to a new Sissel video soon?
Sis has no trouble with glory note singing. A5, B5 and top C are within her range.
Best Russell , why do you yell " wow " so often ? Sorry , fellow ! Alain ( Belgium )
