Sissel sings Solitaire with Neil Sedaka.

[@shilohrob]

Three years ago I heard this video and fell in love with this Norse Goddess with the voice of a angel. This video still leaves me breathless and in awe of her,

[@samueljyap]

Without doubt, the best interpretation of this song that I have heard. Neil Sedaka couldn't have sung it better. She touches one's heart and soul to the core....

[@AnaNord]

I can't say how much i love this song. I am nearly crying when i listen to it. And Sissel's voice is marvellous.

[@bjjcyou05]

Sissel, your beauty is so contagious, not just your voice, but eveything about Sissel.

[@raysarchet8463]

Every time I listen to Sissel sing again, I am amazed. She is such an artist with that vocal gift from God!

[@mrscrbp1]

Today I discovered Sissel. Turned out to be a wonderful day after all. Wow beautiful voice

[@theo4u4me41]

SISSEL...has the voice of an ANGEL ...watch closely how Neil Sedaka is totally blown away by the performance of SISSEL. Your dad is right. Greetings from a SISSEL fan in Canada.

[@AnaNord]

Yes. He is great, and she is great. I read his lips, he said: i love you. I never get bored by this song, it's so beutiful i can listen to it over and over again.

[@shilohrob]

Absolutely Brilliant performance by this Norse Goddess and one of the greatest song composers of the 20th century. I only regret I never heard of Sissel before seeing this video. Now I can't get enough of her.

[@no1cfielder]

What a beautiful, crystal-clear voice!

[@justabrit]

I cant stop coming back for more of this song..Its the tops...

[@cartman781]

Sissel is just awesome. I love her and this song.

[@conniff44]

Is there no end to this girls talent, is there nothing she can't sing? Wonderful

[@quarryman08]

wow Sissel owned this one and Neil was surprised ! Loved it !

[@lux54]

She is a goddess,, I found her today.....

[@neojohn44]

It's so sweet to see Neil's unselfish appreciation of the delightful Sissel. Aside from their enormous talents, they both seem like such genuine and nice people.

[@raysarchet8463]

Sissel endlessly melts my heart and strengthens my foundation!

[@olejoe97233]

One of the things I enjoy about KZbin is reading the comments of people who discovering Sissel for the first time. And as they search and discover more, and it never gets bad, it always gets better. A day doesn't pass that I don't take time out to listen to Sissel.

[@rainieresguerra7486]

David Raby I found this to be true. Sissel is so enchanting.

[@luannsepton9939]

I just discovered her last week and can't get enough of her. She truly sounds angelic! And I, too, love Neil's reaction to her singing. I learned more about him, as well, and have been listening to his work, too. And here I thought he was only popular in the 70's, when I was a kid. He is brilliant. Manhattan Intermezzo is stunning!

[@crazymelomanka]

I'm learning to sing this song now, because of Sissel's influence . )) so it's fun just to watch her sing it differently at different stages of her life. Sweet voice, sweet singer. Even Neil Sedaka seems to be charmed.

[@carlosarmandomolina8395]

Alguien puede cantar los mejores temas universales y esa es ella la ÚNICA SISSEL ETERNA.

[@maleficare]

Oh my god! I've been searching for this clip for ages since first I saw it. I think it is tim we pay hommage were hommage is deserved. Spread the word!

[@grahamwilliams3288]

Sissel is beautiful,with a beautiful voice ....and sings so effortlessly........so it seems.

[@VintageLady1980]

What a beautiful collaboration, and Sissel sings one of my favorite songs and does such a fantastic job, as usual. She just has a perfect voice. I wish I could sing like her. Voice of an angel. :)

[@lamsalgado]

Lovely Norway gave the rest of us all an angel---Sissel !!!!

[@rintintinification]

Sedaka knows talent when he sees it. Sissel is the bomb!

[@gloriamarsh-fisher4504]

As David Raby says - after hearing Sissel for the first time I found myself seeking out more and more recordings. She is delightful and I always feel just that little bit happier after listening /watching her perform.

[@drdetroitcity]

Pure Magic - these two

[@margaret8391]

I love her too. What a voice!

[@BobsArtGallery]

A voice of an angel !!

[@marlenecosta4391]

Muito bom ver e ouvir NEIL SDAKA meu predileto desde minha adolescência.Ele faz parte da minha vida.Agradeço a DEUS pela vida dele e pelo dom que o SENHOR concedeu a ele.DEUS te abençoe NEIL,sempre!

[@celtenator]

Sissel could sing the bloody phone book and it would sound great! She's a global treasure!

[@norskbente]

I'm so proud to be Norwegian when I hear you sing. I have seen you perform both in the US and here in Norway...one word...PERFECT!! You are the best!!

[@iamafakehuman]

Fantastic!!Powerful singer and song. Loved the ending!Powerful voice. Such a smooth and fantastic singing voice...wonder if she has some concert at this time of year? Thanks for sharing guys.Peter

[@ninalib]

simply BEAUTIFUL!

[@BobsArtGallery]

Sissel you are great !!..Thanks to you and Neil for such a beautiful song...

[@MishaG9]

After listening to her, I can die now...! Sublime, y todos los etcéteras del mundo. Sissel, ¡gracias por existir..! Thank you Sissel, for existing here with us mere mortals..!

[@JeffD8382]

What a treat.. Thanks very much!

[@lflarry1]

What a nice job........very good. Ahhh Beauty and talent too.

[@qxw66]

lover her songs!

[@hotelderwine]

my all time favorite - makes me cry

[@jannis1990]

I love her in "the little mermaid"...

[@arturbritto5520]

Esse vídeo é de 1991, há 31 anos. Muito linda a interpretação dela.

[@roofbolterx5]

Oh my! Oh my!

[@serrano880]

When the song ends Sedaka looks absolutely Sisselized!!!

[@mosescordovero5959]

and who can blame him? she is just SO ADORABLE!!!

[@grahamwilliams3288]

So was I.!!

[@JoseLuiz-vv2ig]

@@grahamwilliams3288 nu

[@kjetin99]

It cant be better sung than Sissel does! It seems like Sedaka loves it! Fantastic clip! Thanks!

[@13postie]

Absolutely phenominal. What a difference in appearance, from 1991 to 2011. She was and still is drop-dead gorgeous. Just look at the face of Neil Sedaka; it says "I want You, Now!" Her voice is better now. Just a great performer. She should spend more time in North America. Toronto would be good.

[@justabrit]

I agree with you on that ..and she is the best...sublime..*S*

[@LousyPianist]

Sissel is the best soprano ever

[@mariaaparecidadasilvasilva6584]

Que linda essa menina cantando e o Neil Sedaka no piano 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@justabrit]

No one as yet can match this song !!

[@zdevol7]

Nádherné! Tak čistý soprán a lehký projev!

[@artma101]

SisselI great voice, glorious character.

[@ForgetfulCollector]

One word... Fantastic!

[@justabrit]

The best ...thank you for uploading this video hittingimage..Sublime...*S*

[@karenmoland2618]

i never thought that Sissel sang together with Neil.I love it.

[@justabrit]

this one is the best so far...

[@OnkelAasmund]

I'm am still crying at the end of this video!

[@cd72]

Yes KAREN CARPENTER sings this song so wonderfully and conveys such evocative images in her interpretation!! Sissel sings this nice!

[@manuelavalos2162]

Que hermosa voz y que sentimiento.

[@mellacarolina15]

Hermoso.

[@grahamwilliams3288]

Admiration and Aproval on Neil Sedaka's Face.

[@In_my_own_mind]

Hehe, Neil Sedaka even played a little mistake note at his piano at 1:22 (if I didn't hear wrong) .. probably because he was soo into Sissel singing so beautiful ...how cute :)

[@noriemeha]

You can think how Neil would choose Sissel to sing his songs. she and he share the same voice pitch, range and tenor.

[@nilsenbj]

@HDBLandAC this is Sissel Kyrkjebø, the same sissel as the 1991 imagine video, and the later video of pie jesu. and she sings flawless as usual,,;-)

[@Tuneweaver2008]

Like this version very much... Sissel is a great, and so is Neil. By the way, Sedaka fans have a petition on the internet, to get him inducted into the Rock Hall Of Fame. Search here with 'Sedaka petition', and you'll find the link.

[@MikeWilliamsonMusic]

Wonderful!

[@taccamine8312]

If I remember correctly Sidsel was sick with a fever during this performance. Still so professional.....

[@nilsenbj]

she is just soo good,,, you can see it when you look at his face, he approves every note,,,(of course, because every note IS perfect :P) wonder why she isn`t more famous outside Norway,,,,she should,,,

[@exentr]

She was never ambicoius about her career.

[@HittingImage]

@HDBLandAC The reason "N. Sedaka and P. Cody" is posted across the screen is that the song is written by Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody.

[@3865ron]

@HDBLandAC It's the same Sissel. I thought it wasn't at first but after the close up there was no doubt. I have a dvd of her singing in Norway and all the tracks on youtube are no where as old as this one.

[@exentr]

If I am correct this is the performance Sissel were ill. She had to rest untill she went on stage. I don't know whether she did rehearsal with Neil prior to the performance but I can see that Neil support Sissel with the lyrics. I like the idea that Neil didn't know how good Sissel was. He greet her heartfully.

[@Coowallsky]

Second best after Karen Carpenter's version and that puts Sissel in GREAT company!

[@beweau]

@HDBLandAC This is our Sissel Kyrkjebø. She is born in 1969, so here in 1991 she is 22 years old. Regarding her mouthmovements, maybe she is a bit more trained than in her first appearances. Look for "Pie Jesu" here on KZbin. You won't regret. From Norweay: Berit.

[@brusko3269]

the best!!!!!

[@FOXtuptup]

This day, Sissel has about 40 in fever, (Norwegian thermometer) and still she sings like an angel. just look at neil. at the end of the song he sais "I love you"

[@SANTIAGO636]

Elvis Presley brought me here...

[@HittingImage]

You are correct. This is from "Momarkedet".

[@runehamre715]

Sissel Kyrkjebø is her name

[@potdog1000]

not heard this version before, but, well WOW

[@aahj85]

No, the norwegian version. She's norwegian, but has lived many years in Denmark. I should know, because I'm norwegian and The Little Mermaid is one of my favorites. =)

[@kern39743]

this is much better than rock&roll

[@steverush4402]

Certainly underrated, but on the second point you will hear some dissent from fans of Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, Hayley Westenra and Chloe Agnew.

[@mosescordovero5959]

hey! you forgot to mention Lisa Kelly! shame on you!

[@melvinnixon2378]

She sings well but my favorite singer on that song and every song is none other than Karen Carpenter. She is so angelic sounding doing this iconic song.....

[@clem6435]

You prefer a recording of Karen Carpenter, with her multiple overdubs ? Well, each to their own.

[@troeisa]

I agree :-)

[@FantasyMaker]

The second best, Sarah Brightman is the best:) She is the biggest selling soprano of all times. But Sissel is very good to.

[@raul572001]

@Vocalallusive You know, it seems like he's simply adoring that performance. Watch him as much you can find he's pianoplaying at KZbin, he simply has to forgot he's part and makes it that dirt i never seen. People can't be dualcore as processors. You can focus only to main thing and he seems to be really upset and confused by her. Btw, me too. She's just run 14th with that talent. And what I like - she has never showing even in hardest parts that silly face as operasingers. She is the best!

[@Bergenfluff]

3.18: Neil going "I love you".

[@exentr]

That's what I thought too

[@davidvarenkamp5884]

Does she ever come to the UNITED STATES

[@trackrunner11]

Beautiful voice, spectacular talent.I loved her version of 'Shannandoah' the best.However,I still Karen Carpenter's dreamy version of this repertoire. Sorry everyone,I hope you don't take it personal .

[@beweau]

@Vocalallusive A "run" with an older man? She was married with this man for many years, and have two children with him. He was older than her, but what about it? From Norway: Berit.

[@maiatoktogonova9402]

Bravo! Touching. But I prefer the way Elvis Presley sings

[@kakum9]

creo que me muero

[@lux54]

Wouldnt you say I Love You to her?

[@grandexandi]

and who's the other one?

[@justabrit]

SUBLIME

[@gtecfutshow]

I go for Oslo in next yer

[@rintintinification]

Look at the height differential at the very end of the video. Sissel is tall, or Neil is not!

[@gyrgrls]

Not to mention Helene Fischer or Gro Anita Johansen...

[@FreeRange1234]

Not as polished as she will become, but still the best pure voice out there.
