REACTING TO Sissel Kyrkjebø - Pie Jesu

[@rintintinification]

Your reaction is my reaction. Holy wow! Seven billion people on this world, and Sissel is the best of the best. Enjoy! Love her.

[@scorpio5493]

I close my eyes and I feel Jesus in my heart and my soul. The words and music can be thought of as one person who has already said angelic. it makes me want to be closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. It brings heartfelt tears to my eyes when I think of all those who have not had the privilege of listening to this angel sing., God has blessed you, Sissel, please continue to bring these emotions to everyone.

[@johnrider5701]

Sitting here with tears streaming down my face.

[@leecowell8165]

Yeah you know it... she has such a beautiful, beautiful voice and this rendition really showcases it.

[@crazymelomanka]

Came across her more than 10 years ago. Was almost obsessed by her voice for years. Now returning to listenning to her again. Thanks for the reaction. Her voice is so pure and perfect, like that of an angel. No one can outdo.

[@rintintinification]

Adam you are right on the money.

[@Kimberlyannkent]

HOLY CRAP!!! Seconds after hearing this I started searching for more. I have never heard anyone sing so clear and effortlessly .. WHAT A RANGE! Norway is so full of talent huh? Did you know she was the vocals in Titanic? Found her with you… THANK YOU!

[@dickhornmedicineman2766]

Sissel was the first choice to sing the entire vocals for Titanic and only after she'd done the vocals was it decided to bring in a well known singer to do the song. A HUGE mistake!!

[@tonjoja]

She is also in Lord of the Rings 🤩

[@turislaatten593]

She is just fenomenal and it looks so effortless! Thank you Adam.

[@jrn-ingesolheim2603]

she was a awsome singer here many years ago followed her from a young girl she started whit folk songs but she have a voise like a angel

[@annekristineingebretsen6932]

Sissel is beyond amazing, a nature talent. She is one of our big national treasures. Her voice is crystal clear✨ I will recommend you listen to Slow down with Sissel and The Tabernacle choir❤️ Love you Adam❤️Love from Norway.

[@Ashelar]

i been a fan of her since i was 12 year old, from the first moment i heard her voice, and i am now 46 year old and still think she have one of the most wonderfull clear voice's.

[@betmo]

ethereal...so beautiful...norway is so special ❤️

[@rmcc42]

Reminds me of the old saying about "what is in the water?" Norway has less than one percent of the world's population (I'm guessing) but has 3 of what I (And many others) consider to be in the top 5 or 6 female vocal artists in the world--Angelina Jordan, Sissel, and Aurora. And between the 3 they cover just about every genre of music there is!!!!

Adam, could you react to Sissel performing "Sancta Maria"? It's based on the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana. Would love to see you react to Sissel again.

[@grykarlsen5054]

Thank you Mr. Adam👏😊 Spot on as usual💖

[@sabyegrp]

She doesnt even look like she is breathing. Amazing.

[@MichaelReiter]

Wonderful rendition of a beautiful song. Sissel's voice is truly amazing!

[@rosetoddmann9767]

She is a sight and sound of Heaven this side of the Pearly Gates. amen.

[@Harald4340]

Thank you Adam.

[@adelinaacero]

Sissel is my very special favorite. First time I heard Sissel sang she was 16 and I explained, this girl will become a world reknown with her Crystal-clear voice and effortless stunning technique. Sissel is standing on her own pedestal. And she is an institution. Thank you Adam for such a beautiful reaction on our very own Sissel Kyrkjebø from Bergen , Norway🌸🌸🌸🙏💖💖💖

[@debrabarkley866]

Your reaction is almost as beautiful as her singing. It is a pleasure to listen to your comments. Well done!

[@AdamStraughan]

Thanks!

[@gunnaranderssen1240]

Here you have another song by Sissel «Like an Angel Passing through My Room - Sissel & the Orchestra at Temple Square» link kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWGogXl-naeGkKc

[@asa-mariajonsson4228]

I went to an outdoor concert with Sissel, up in the north of Sweden by a beautiful river. Absolutely amazing experience

[@alaindiagre3270]

One cannot get tired of Sisaalain )sel's voice , above all "w pie jesu " . Well spoken , Adam ! (

[@torbjrnlund903]

I also love her singing. You must listen to Slow Down - Sissel (2019 Pioneer Concert with The Tabernacle Choir). It is mindblowing.

[@willarth9186]

I've heard Sissel sing Jazz, Gospel, Pop, Rock, Contemporary, Classical and Opera... Flawless and effortless in SO MANY languages.

[@chriscummings6997]

Great reaction, brother. She is very special!!

[@hildeseiersten]

Sissel, almost always has a smile on her face, when she gives you effortlessly the most beautiful tones you could ever imagine.

[@leecowell8165]

He is absolutely blown completely away by Sissel. she has that tremendous range & clarity that we've come to know.

[@rintintinification]

She powers through all the parts where others drop. Wonderful.

[@tubbs1dm]

Great reaction. Your observations are on target. Thanks so much. Please explore more Sissel. If you haven’t seen her “Northern Lights” concert and her “Reflections Project” she uses Spotify for distribution. Love, love, love “Sissel“ that rhymes with missal.

[@crazymelomanka]

oh, she has a lot of good stuff

[@wrecknor]

Sissel, Aurora and Angelina. Epicness Extreme.

[@magnhildaas4488]

Have you listen to «Slow Down» by Sissel ? ,it is epic.I am not a christian but this song with the Tabernacelchoir gives me peace in my heart.She got standing ovation for a long time,and you can see that she did not except it. She is very humbel,only want to sing.🥰

[@carinaejag]

Not everyone knows that Sissel actually sang the hauntingly beautiful humming intro to the movie Titanic.

[@amundkrogh746]

Her in a pop duo song: Sissel Kyrkjebø & Espen Lind - Where the Lost One Goes - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJXOXoCVrNmhn7M

[@sishan69]

Thank you for geniun and good reactions! My absolutte favourite is Slow Down with the Tabernacle Choir from 2019. She got a standing ovation for a minute from a 19000 audiens. Another fem is a young Sissel singing Solveigs song which shows how natural and pure she is.

[@wikipediaman959]

Love her!

[@rintintinification]

Your opening is perfecct. Sissels sings and we all go "OMG". Pretty simple.

[@mickeyminsky4776]

Most of the honorees found in a best female singers of all time lists are not worthy to breathe the same air as Sissel. She is alone at the top.

[@kevinr2670]

Sissel has a magical voice, a couple of other heavenly performances that you need to experience are from her Northern Lights concert, "Jesu joy of mans desiring" and her duet with Jose Carreras "When you tell me that you love me" both are perfection 😊

[@rintintinification]

She is great. Changes how I look at the world.

[@adelinaacero]

There is one more song that I need you to listen and react to. It is called «My Tribute» you will feel the gospel and the church, Sissel will fill you with an awesome energy only Sissel can in her own way. So beautiful and stunning presentation. Another thing do you know that Sissels beautiful voice and sounds are on the Titanic film?😃👏😊💖?

[@WhiteTiger333]

And she is always so radiant when she sings so...radiantly! This is a piece that I normally prefer to hear sung by a treble voice because it is such a purely delicate piece, easily, imo, overwhelmed by an adult soprano voice. I so agree with your assessment of her effortless and simple rendition that is deceptively challenging to attain. Yes, yes - the last note that she closed, but kept going! Her interpretation of Ave Maria here is so delightful. I've never heard it embellished in this way - gorgeous! kzbin.info/www/bejne/anXJeXaXabSSaqc

[@borgerborgersen372]

You're in for a great journey discovering Sissel Kyrkjebø. Yes, she is a awesome soprano, but she has performed many different genres where you can listen to her gorgeous deeper tones too. The best with Sissel is that she is giving all of her emotions into the song just like Angelina Jordan and Aurora. Many singers have great voices, but not all can affect how we feel like the 3 artists I mentioned above can. They have a God given gift. If you want to try out one more recent performance by Sissel I recommend "Slow Down" which she performed live with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City. That song will be medicine for your soul. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3fIaWeLlMSeqpo

[@fhjelmis]

Sissel=LEGEND🤘🤙🤘😁😉

[@groporth8739]

Thank you for your wonderful reaction to another norwegian gem!

[@brb907]

There is no doubt in me. This is the most beautiful performance ever. And I think it will be difficult if it is even possible to reach it. That purity and power of the voice made exactly according to the music books is unattainable.

[@rwgoodship3653]

Each note perfection. Thank you and cheers from Canada 👍😎❤️🇨🇦🏹

[@svglump]

You should check out her version of "Shenandoah" with violinist Kalle Moraeus and Paddy Moloney

[@noriemeha]

"...live and with an orchestra..." and also sung in a concert of pop, folk and faith music with the singer altering her voice to each genre. No easy challenge. Also from this All Good Things concert, Carrier of a Secret, interesting performance where she seems to be able to make her arms longer each time she extends them to become a visual work of art. An illusion no doubt.

[@tubbs1dm]

I agree. Her graceful body language during that performance is site to behold. I can see the arrow and quiver as she arms her bow. Wonderful gentle movements that add drama and clarity as they accompany her beautiful voice. Sublime.

[@susanwenner8738]

Flawless

[@deadbishop9317]

Thank you!

[@gordontither7040]

Another example of the sublime is the Pearl Fishers duet with Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill - do listen and see what I mean.

[@alaindiagre3270]

Dear Straughan , I completely share your analysis of the UNIQUE Sissel .Thanks ! Alain

[@normanmeharry58]

"Incredible talent" yes, but not as famous as some lesser talents. And that's because, regardless of her always wanting to be a singer, she places family & friends, above money and fame.

[@rintintinification]

You got what I got, Sissel devotion

[@Michael-uk2qw]

Her singing "you will never walk alone" is the best version of that song I have ever heard.

[@leecowell8165]

i agree. yep... she was quite young there too. that song really show cased her range. she sings so effortlessly.

[@kjetilvesterlistrand3646]

Been a bit in love with Sissel my hole life.

[@janajindrova8090]

I am new here and it's wonderful how you react to Sissel's singing. There's no one else like her. I would like to send you a few links to other of my most favourite songs by her plus about two links to other of my favourite artists what your reactions to them would be. Would you be interested?

[@janajindrova8090]

Could you, please, try this piece of music? It is a concert performance of the cover version of originally Lara Fabian's song "Je t'aime" sung by Marija Šerifović (pronounced like Mariya Sherifovich) on the stage. Marija is from Serbia and won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIioYpWEecl5ma8feature=shared

[@pkornbak]

Adam, you have to look up Slow Down, with the Tabernackle Choir! If you can stay dry in the corner of your eye, your far better than me!

[@bobclarke1815]

Beautiful💞 you should listen to the Sarah Brightman version.

[@rodneyhamilton182]

Note on Norwegian Soprano 'Sissel', her name would be best rhymed with 'whistle.'

[@rintintinification]

Adam this is live! I know it's getting old, but my God it's great.

[@anirenka]

I think you will love Sissel "Slow down" and "Like an angel passing through my room" both live with the Tabernacle Choir 🙂💖

[@sishan69]

Slow down is my absolutte favourite. She is living the song!

[@rosland63]

You should listen to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGOzgKGqhdRseMk where she sings Ave Maria with Plácido Domingo. Or this one where she tells the story behind why James Horner picked her to sing the Titanic (movie) overture after listening to a song from one of her albums. Then she sings both in a seamless medley: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6THgXx7nthnjqs

[@MillyJWyse]

Gorgeous

[@jessicajackson8064]

brilliant!

[@Felya2308]

Sissel is perfection))))

[@geirstianaaslund7141]

Your pronunciation wasn't to bad. The first part kyrkje was ok, the last part is pronounced like the French bœuf without the f at the end. But it is better to stick to just Sissel, that's what we Norwegians do. Sissel is from Bergen, the same city as Aurora. She has been living in Oslo the last 10 years, not far from where Angelina Jordan grew up.

[@sunnysidesofblue]

Sissel's voice truly is one of a kind. If you haven't already heard it I highly recommend checking out her singing O Holy Night, either this live performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jobKl39jZ9dpjZo or this recording from when she was 18 (!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYuTiaKJZ7F9h9U Both are absolutely stunning!

[@HellsGayngel]

I discovered Sissel years ago and have been obsessed with this song of hers and play it often. Unfortunately the cd studio version is terrible, not because of her singing but because the tempo just doesn't give her the time to belt the song like she did here in this live version, it just cuts every note short. This live version is still the best version of this song I've ever heard.

[@magnus7309]

Thank you for your lovely reaction to this stunning performance by Sissel. You have reacted to her twice and I hope you will do one more. There are three live performances of Sancta Maria by her on YT, two which are very good, and this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZbPo56Zq6qlfZo who is perfect. Or you can react to her singing in Norwegian: Våren (the last spring, by Grieg) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGGYoHd6jNKSY5I, or Solveig´s song (also by Grieg) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6yXnhqmbiopac. Sissel and Grieg is a great combination.

[@richardcallahan8698]

Adam: Came upon you after hearing a review that BEL did. You say the same things about Sissel! As I watch your emotion, I will try to tell my wife that I get the same exact emotion that you have. I say try to tell her. She really locks onto "other".

You need to hear her version of Slow Down.

[@rickysikes1631]

Have you listened to Jonathan Antoine? His voice is velvety.just like Sissel’s.

[@jimhamilton5782]

Hi Mate, Sissel's last name is pronounced something like Shu-Sha-Bah with emphasis, I believe, on the first syllable. I think that, in English, it means Churchill.

[@rintintinification]

Adam, you nailed it 2 seconds into the song. She is impossibly good. What can you say? We have to love it is all. Great vid.

[@exentr]

The best female cross over singer, maybe any gender. I am not sure what is "classical" and "opera" but I've heard comparasions with soprano opera singer. Opera singers are more powerful, indeed, but what I like about Sissel is apart from the clarity there is a "sweetness" in her voice that makes it comfortable to listen to her singing. I see people call her the nighting gale.

[@karinvanlam]

She ist the best in the World

[@goeranm55]

Your reaction really makes her justice, and you have now reacted to one song in italian and one in latin. Can I (who am not from Norway) ask for one in Norwegian also. The classical song by Grieg/Ibsen "Solveig's song". It is a distinctly younger Sissel singing and her scenic presence is different, but overwhelming. ...and she is dressed in "Bunad" the classical Norwegian folkdress, really matching the song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6yXnhqmbiopac&ab_channel=sisselfan
