Same here bro ! I've been listening to him for a few years and I'm very surprised he didn't go viral. He's got more talent than most "pseudo modern artists" combined ! 😁
He would probably have stood a better chance today, with tiktok, youtube and so on. He's cherished in Norway, but never really managed to grow a career abroad.
He is the sole winner of world idol. Writes his own stuff, plays guitar upside down because he is left handed and is brilliant but chose to stay in Norway. His manager obliged. In fact his manager when he won world idol decided to become his personal manager. They had him do a collaboration with Willie Nelson, but he is NOT a country artist. Release him globally, world idol proved his fandom are out there. I have been an admirer of this voice since then. Seriously one of the best voices I have ever heard in my life!
I remember in Norway we went to his concert and asked if we could get something signed, and one of the people in charge told us that he wasn't supposed to sign anything, but then asked us to wait, a few minute later they were back and asked if we had something we wanted to get signed, two caps and a few more minutes and we had them signed by him. :))) Still have mine hanging in my room :D
me too. i starting to listen and discover his songs since pandemic started.and up to now, Im still listening and trying to look forward for more of his songs.
I fell in love with his voice when he was on World Idol. I liked him the most from the first episode. Thankfully lots of the world felt the same and he won.
Proud to be Norwegian here. I admire Kurt. Because he Writes his own songs. Many big artists doesn't Write their own songs. Maybe I'm wrong. But that's my opinion
I am so glad Kurt had the self esteem and decency to not listen to people (shallow bullies) obcessed with his appearance. So he is not a typical person in anyway! Thank God! His look grows on you and eventually you realize he is awesome, you appreciate his uniqueness and love his look. Thank you Kurt for not changing anything! He inspires us all to honor our own individuality. Keep watching and listening and you will see what I mean. He is gorgeous in every way!
I am, and all other norwegians are so proud of Kurt :) he was a plumber, auditioned for the norwegian Idol, knocked all the others to the ground AND won World Idol :D the rest is history ;) he is one of the greatest musicians in our country, and he is a great person, very down to earth. :)
Next best voice under Freddie Murcury. I've loved Kurt since I saw him on world Idol. I then watched Norwegian Idol via computer to watch the new few seasons. Kjartan Salvesen and Alekander With were all amazing winners after him. Norway had a LOT of talent on their Idol show, Kurts runner up Gaute Ormaasen is a favorite of mine too.
people wouldn't say he is ugly if his teeth were fixed and that saddens me.....when people are looked at thru their talent and their soul, then few are truly ugly......Keep the beautiful music comin Kurt and God bless
I just wanted to thank Kurt even tho he’ll never hear it. My 5 yr ex fiancé passed. I sent this song to him when he was still alive. We made amends. Idk how he passed but I listen to this song religiously, even when I’m depressed. I listened to this when my grampa (my father figure) died a month before him. I heals me everyday. Thank you so much Kurt. I feel every lyric as I keep surviving ❤
Very deeper this song... I feel it in me... in a exactly this words... "I tried and then some more... Instead of dragging the both of us down... Divide separate ways... It´s never easy this way, it´s never easy this way." But, now. Finally I feel better more and more. Thanks for sharing this beautiful song. Greetings from Brasil. Gilberto Mendes,
So many people with ugly hearts that will never make anything of themselves let alone come close to this mans career and they make themselves feel by mocking Kurt. He has one of the best voices I have ever heard, and you know what I do NOT hear in any song I have listened to him sing yet? I haven't heard the use of Auto-Tune yet... That might be, because he doesn't need it as a crutch like most singer/songwriters do lately. Just listen to the music. We are all different in our own ways.
I've been a fan since the first audition he had. The music is very inspiring, and the songs mean so much to me, I was bullied at school, and his songs kept my spirits up, and always made me happy again. You are an amazing artist Kurt!
This man's music never gets old. I love to listen to Kurt Nilsen. He is great on the guitar. His showmanship on stage is a crowd favorite and contagious!
Synes det er så fantastisk at Kurt kom så langt og er blitt ett ikon. Han har en varme det ikke kan fakes seg til. Du er fantastisk Kurt og gleder meg til å se deg på tv til høsten! Stor fan!
I googled my birthdate and this is the only celebrity I could find with the same birthdate as myself. He has an awesome voice. Happy belated 40th, Kurt!
Nothing stopping his heart from delivering such a sweet sound. Never seen a vocalist look so comfortable about himself and what he's doing. Another great moment in my life that I was able to see and hear this... Thank you Kurt Nilsen
i have only come across this guy recently and i love his voice ! how does something as great as this song and his voice not get played on radio stations in the UK and everywhere else in the world ? there are some really fantastic singers out there who never get the full recognition that they deserve and way too many who are crap and get tons of recognition and air time ! i shall be looking out for his music much more now i have found him !
+dorothy1329 I think he´s songs got played around the time it came out back in 2004. After World Idol he sold alot off records in Europe. Sorry for my bad english x)
when I saw his first audition on tv for Norway's Idol, I knew he has it and was not surprised what he achieved. Kurt Nilsen has everything when it comes to singing, on stage, off stage. But I love watching him singing, He looks fantastic on stage, he gives it all.and let this granny put the records straight once and for all - only the blind will never see how handsome he is ♫
He seriously needs to post covers to RUclips shorts or TikTok or instagram reels. He deserves to be as big as Adele
I’m clearly late to the party but this guy has seriously one of the best voices I have heard
A shame he didn’t become a bigger star. He had the voice to be one of the biggest artists from Scandinavia.
Same here bro ! I've been listening to him for a few years and I'm very surprised he didn't go viral.
He's got more talent than most "pseudo modern artists" combined ! 😁
"The singer with the body of a Hobbit, but with the voice of an angel." -Simon Cowell.
@@syrkon27 Your words nail. His part when he sings Halellujah with the other singers is simply incredible!
Same
Kurt’s voice is haunting.so beautiful
This song gives me strong Keane-vibes, and that's awesome! Kurt is easily one of the greatest vocalists of all time
What an absolutely pure voice. How he never became a bigger star is beyond me.
He would probably have stood a better chance today, with tiktok, youtube and so on. He's cherished in Norway, but never really managed to grow a career abroad.
Because he looks like a hobit....classic situation..

2019. Almost 10 years now, and I still find this song underrated
Edit: 2023
Edit: 2024
Let's be Honest Official You mean 15 years
But its almost 2020 so its almost 16 years

Kurt Nilsen has one of the richest and most authentic voices in all of music. He's extraordinary, and very underrated.
It's really good I wish Kurt would produce new music. His voice is angelic.
His voice is amazing.what a talent.

Just saw this now. A cool story to hear
You're so lucky

@@DaveGahanMusic-id I’m very well, thank you. We just finished watching the solar eclipse.
@@DaveGahanMusic-id I know this is not Kurt. So goodbye.
One of the best voices ever. I never tire Of kurt.
To me Selena Quintanilla Perez is the greatest female singer of all time and Kurt Nilsen is the best male singer of all time!
I agree!
hes not ugly ...i think its silly that they say that, I dont hear ugly anyhow I hear stunning and soulful and thats what music is about
I write from the year 3896. We still listen to this.
ha!
I absolutely love this. 2020 and I’m 70 yrs old. Timeless
LoL i'm 68 and loves his music, as you said timeless
Proud to be Norwegian here. I admire Kurt. Because he Writes his own songs. Many big artists doesn't Write their own songs. Maybe I'm wrong. But that's my opinion

One of the best voices of the last 20 years and a nice bloke, a proper star.
what a talent from the heavens. I am forever a fan.
I want to do a kick ass video for him.

Bev cowtrail tired*
Why thank a fantasy figure for what real people, his parents, did? Oo
Kurt’s voice always sounds so effortless and fluid in the midst of vocal gymnastics! He’s a remarkable talent.
Kurt Nilsen live is one of this moments in life that you wish you could set on repeat. Wonderful, just wonderful. He dont play music, he IS music.
I'm so glad he hasn't changed his look and just sings.
late 2017!
this guy could sing the phonebook, it would still be great ! way too much talent for one humain being !😁
I want to marry Kurt's voice.
His voice is magnetic. World wants you again!!!!!!!
God gave him his voice...
Simply fantastic composition, voice, lyrics and arrangement. Piece of true good music that never gets old.
Brings back memories
So beautiful, what a great voice 😮 a shame not many people know who he is
people wouldn't say he is ugly if his teeth were fixed and that saddens me.....when people are looked at thru their talent and their soul, then few are truly ugly......Keep the beautiful music comin Kurt and God bless
2019, still listening. What a great guy... and that voice...omg
Kurt Nilsen har en sykt nydelig stemme, Begynner å grine av denne sangen. Den minner meg om min døde lillebror
I'm disappointed that this only has 500,000 views.
This is real music.

I've loved your music for 15 years! Glad to see you haven't given up on your talent. All the best to you and yours!
He looks so unspectacular... Maybe thats the reason, he is so popular.
such a great singer, diserves more views!!!!!
Been a fan for many years. Just wish he would come out with new stuff like this! Keep rockin
I love this song... whenever I listen to his voice I feel like someone is holding onto me with the intention of never letting go.
my gosh! what a joy it is for me to listen to his songs... I love his voice, he's special.
what a beautifull voice! One of the best singer nowadays
Kurt is the reason why tv shows like "IDOL" should even exist
Very deeper this song... I feel it in me... in a exactly this words... "I tried and then some more... Instead of dragging the both of us down... Divide separate ways...

This has gotten me back in my childhood..
His voice is so beautiful
there is so much power in his voice and he doesn't even have to try. I wish i had just an ounce of his talent
he has genuinely got one of the nicest voices I've ever heard!!! ...
Beautiful vocals!
Keep singing Kurt, the Lord gave you a great voice, all y’all who sang together!
one of my favorites Kurt's songs
