I love that you`r reacting even to Sissel, "The Golden Voice". from the 1980s. Back then, as a young teenager, she gave us the record selling christmas album, all in Norwegian, named after this song. Back then she was our phenomenon in Norway, and I love how she carries her career until these days. Her amazing voice still makes me gasp for air, of the pure beauty she always delivers. A great favorit of mine ( and so many others I guess) is her "O Helga Natt" (O` Holy Night) ruclips.net/video/sChB8_NRpNM/видео.html She is my favorit singer for this song, along side the great swedesh operasinger Jussi Björling.
James Horner heard Sissel sing this song "Eg Veit I Himmelrik Ei Borg/I know in heaven there is a castle" and then he said; "This is my voice for Titanic," ruclips.net/video/esdPIEis4XI/видео.html
❤ When you have a vision for something, sometimes you can't explain it but you know when you have found what you are looking for. Sissel is a beautiful woman with a magnificent voice.
Thank you. Love the music observations. She personally interprets songs the way they make her feel and how she wants you to feel when she sings them. Works every time.
Check out Sissel’s performances of this song throughout the years. From her youth throughout her career her maturing and mellowing is worthy of your time.
Sissel sings noble songs such as Silent Night with complete respect. I've heard more famous singers take liberties with them and fair dos, interesting & let them do so. But I find me returning to the preservationists, like Sissel, just to be reminded how the song was and is still.
Sissel is an unfashionable singer because she sings with perfect elocution as you've noted. So many singers don't try for good diction and for some it has no part in their performance of a song.
Second verse was done in German i think, Not Norwegian as i am from Norway and have seen both Sissel and Angelina Jordan. Still AJ is my favorite... Great reaction!
She may have been true to the lyrics & melody but the s-l-o-w tempo was painful to hear. Also thought her choice of a robe was inappropriate for this presentation.
So you don't like. That's OK. Our choir sings SN every Christmas at this tempo. And I've heard hundreds sing it over the decades.. just about this speed. Course you can swing it like Maria Cary but then you'd get a micro skirt which might be inappropriate.
Sissel has an angelic voice. It's what song inheaven must sound like! Thanks for reacting. y=You're terrific!
Love her!
She is a special singer that said no to a career in US to be with her family. Try Pie Jesu, that will blow your mind
Awesome! I am so glad that you chose the path that works for her. No apologies, no regrets!

Barb,, this was so well done. This felt every bit like a Silent Night.❤

Thank you very much for reacting to this wonderful rendition of "Silent Night" by the one and only Sissel. I enjoyed watching it.
Our pleasure. So BEAUTIFUL!❤

Thank you. I am sure with a voice like hers, she could have sung it in any language and made it sound so incredibly beautiful. ❤
Still no A.J . I think I'm gonna get a real let down soon. Hope I'm wrong.
Hi again can I ask if you react with Sissel to my request for ANGELICA HALE doing Christmas songs thank you
