For me Sissel has the most pure, most beautiful, effortless voice in the world, the pure voice of heaven.

[@kdevinturner8778]

Norway is debt free, but the world owes Sissel. Makes it a positive economic country.

[@agrimstad1962]

We see Neil has a jaw dropping experience !

[@cherub1904]

Her voice is straight from heaven. A God given gift.

[@yellyman5483]

She is from my home town Bergen, Norway. It`s known for having famous singers, and composers. As for Sissel, she is is the best selling artist in Norway. She has sold in total 10 million records in a country of 5 million.. That`s incredible. It`s as if an artist sold 600 million in the U.S.

[@dickhornmedicineman2766]

@@yellyman5483 Definitely a 1 in a billion talent! We in the US only have performers not singers...

[@paulweaver8961]

Neil Sedaka had the best seat in the concert hall!

[@submarinecobpait3855]

The world did not know what it had with Sissel. The most perfect voice ever was in this young lady's soul. I am always amazed at every age; she never strains to hit excellent, flawless high notes. She is a pure joy to listen to.

[@normanbell-br7nf]

beautiful beautiful beautiful voice

[@donnacardon8468]

Sissel can sing anything and effortlessly make it sound sublime.

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

No one comes close to this beautiful lady .

[@sanglium]

if I am in Norway, I will come close to this angel!

[@MEDIADWG]

I rarely ever cry, but this performance and watching Neil's reaction teared me up.

[@ayzdok]

Neil’s reaction is priceless)

[@TTDahl]

Sissel is an angel. I remember this. She had flu when on stage. She couldn't say 1 word earlier that day... Fever 39°C and sick. She saved her voice to this moment. Neil later said in an interview that there has been only one singer that has given him goosbumps and chills when they sing this song. That person was Barbra Streisand, but after this he said "after this night, a sick Sissel is an angel and blow everyone away with her voice. BS go home.... "

[@johnrobbins917]

Neil is enraptured here...

[@noriemeha]

Interesting. Sissel is a trooper in the entertainment business. There are other super performances she has put in when sick. (Two of them on KZbin). She will try not to let an audience down or a venue. Not like another, globally more famous, singer who was to sing in my home town but cried off for feeling unwell but sang the next night in the town up the road. She lost me as a fan.

[@TTDahl]

@@noriemeha that's sad. Hope you still enjoy Sissel. ❤

[@lapulapupintado2892]

She blows Karen carpenter out of the water with this one100percent

[@izibear4462]

​@@lapulapupintado2892Both amazing. Karen's voice in this was stronger, but I adore Sissel.

[@Koala63211]

The absolute Joy and Love on Neil Sedaka's face, as Sissel performs a perfect rendition of one of his greatest hits. Sheer brilliance from both of you. Thank You.

[@johngalvin3124]

Her tone is beyond silver or gold, for me it's like diamonds raining gently down from the heavens. Multi-facetted and sparkling with purity.

[@urgdaddy]

Yes Neil connected with this singer on every note and moment. Neil is such a total artist. Supported her performance all the way.

[@thomasskodzinsky3255]

Why does this song makes me so happy and so sad? Great singing!

[@jennyricketts190]

I wish I knew. I feel the same. There's something inexplicable about the way these two special people can fill your heart & soul with such love & sadness. I keep coming back to listen (& look at their special connection). Beautiful ❤

[@marylinlott2684]

She has a beautiful voice

[@donduncan5883]

Neil Sedaka - a gentleman who respects - and is somewhat in awe of - someone who makes his music truly magical. A wonderful song, beautifully penned and sung magnificently.

[@徐金章]

门🙇📴💘

[@timothyrea4757]

Which is more beautiful???....her voice, or her smile, or those dazzling eyes??

[@advedan]

I love Sedaka's response to her!! So well done with the performance and the accompaniment!!

[@larsh.alhaug1771]

Just beautiful!

[@grahamwilliams3288]

Love the look on Sedaka's face,

[@rossitherhodie5659]

Beautiful Thank you Neil and Sissel

[@kenfrank3782]

So unfair that such beauty and talent are possessed by one person !!! But she handles them both wonderfully.

[@jimquann2400]

She blows Sedaka away!!! I think he loved her during the song and that is so fine and a joy

[@randlyons7278]

I'm a 67 year old that like so many , trying to live out the rest of my life in quiet desperation. Every time I hear this song it's like somebody kicking me in he gut knocking out my breath.

[@TStorms005]

Damn! What a voice this lady has!

[@marygracehughes7455]

How magical to write such magnificent lyrics and then to see them so brilliantly illuminated by such a spectacular voice.

[@timothyrea4757]

She is one of a kind!!! So is Neil.

[@timothyrea4757]

Neil is in a trance. One can hardly blame him!!!

[@cherub1904]

Shes a beautiful lady plus her voice is so heavenly. A gift from God. .

[@AgentRafa]

@@cherub1904And the thing is she's still very very beautiful today at age 54, she has aged so gracefully to the extend that some might say she's even more beautiful now 30+ years later, it's a quite unique feature. And of course no botox and plastic on a classy lady like her. And her voice is still second to none.

[@michaeldonnelly1657]

Beautiful song beautifully performed, Neil is looking at her like he is in love with her

[@timothyrea4757]

She does that to people!!

[@timothyrea4757]

Who wouldn't be?

[@samhunt9380]

Neil, like all of us, is captivated. A beautiful rendition of a beautiful Neil Sedaka song.......

[@cametientaucoeur]

Wonderful rendition. The chemistry between them - the composer/ accompanist & his protégés. Jeanne

[@Alberto19692711]

A classical song. One of the best!! Masterfully performed.

[@junegracealdana4396]

Still Neil Sedaka nailed this when he sung it.. What a talent. Thank you Neil Sedaka for writing and singing it and then shared it.. God bless 🙏

[@kdevinturner8778]

Go with it Mr. Sedaka. What a beauty.

[@neojohn44]

Sissel is of course magnificent, but look to Neil. His joy in her success is the sign of a great heart. There comes a moment where they both realize that this is a home run...look for it. Great people...never doubt the world is filled with them.

[@marygracehughes7455]

Real talent both!

[@buckjohnson1119]

Neil is definitely there for her, guiding, and providing her, self assurance. That was nice to see. She is so young here, and he is very aware of the up and coming; talented rising star, singing with him.

[@brendaharrington2201]

Both versions are beautiful. Can't get enough of Sissel.

[@pedrof.resende-valedoaco-m5219]

SISSEL , Your voice is sweet as the summer breeze.

[@hervinchung3675]

Her voice is so rich and beautiful, her range wide beyond comparison, she is simply incomparable.

[@TimothyRookey]

Everytime I listen to her I feel her voice go through my soul like a pure crystal, and I feel like I'm on a mountaintop, very close to God, and absolutely filled with sheer joy. I feel like she's my sister, my friend and yet her voice is so perfect it's totally incomprehendible. A true Gift from the Father of Heavenly Lights above. Thank God for giving Sissel to the world!!!!!!

[@myroncoleman9825]

Neil Sedaka is one of the greatest si ngers and songwriters ever and he k nows talent just like Sissel is.

[@yellyman5483]

She is from my home town Bergen, Norway. It`s known for having famous singers, and composers. As for Sissel, she is is the best selling artist in Norway. She has sold in total 10 million records in a country of 5 million.. That`s incredible. It`s as if an artist sold 600 million in the U.S. You can see that Sedaka is totally in awe of her performance. This is live. No autotune of anything. I met her once at the local cinema. It was when she used to live her, right after she became famous.

[@exentr]

Still some voices says Sissel is not enough appreciated by Norwegians

[@francoaste3530]

Mamma mia! Che meraviglia! What a wonderful! It's the first time I do listen this song by Sissel! And Neil Sedaka, bravo, bravo!!

[@johnfarquharson2815]

Heavenly voice ,lovely song and beautiful woman. Even Sedaka is enthralled !

[@edmc1000]

her voice is just magical and this was so early in her career ! To hear her voice is to fall in love.

[@troypankow3080]

My God. She is so Beautiful!

[@allanweiser6276]

Every known singer, that sang with her, admire her singing ability

[@purser01]

I absorbed every note of that wonderful voice. Superb.

[@ldyoung7938]

If it were any better I couldn't stand it! Beautiful!

[@ГалинаСеменовнаМухаметшарипова]

Благодарю Вас!Вы очаровательны!!!!!!

[@retiredyeti5555]

Beautiful angelic vocalization of one of Neil's compostions.

[@raybaeznoticias5124]

God has given the world and Angel 😇 with sublimes in her voice...!!! Thank You God for Sossel...!

[@lenapettersson6314]

Her name is Sissel.

[@johnbergin3787]

He is so talented and so is she. He has written such beautiful music and plays a lovely piano. But what I really love about this the way they interact especially when Sadaka is lip sinking his own music.

[@exentr]

0:27 Clearly Neil guides Sissel through the lyrics which seem unfamiliar to Sissel. That may mean that they may not even rehearsal.

[@lawrencewilson3430]

Beautiful voice-gorgeous lady. Would love to see her live.

[@kh22912]

I love this so much... Karen Carpenter sang her version of this, and imagine these two duetting if she lived to this time... what a combo!

[@pauldbeer]

Whow!!! This lady is just on another level!!! She grew to be only better, not that one can think it possible....

[@Raptuza]

Goosebumps...!

[@entemen]

Two of my favorites.

[@andersjohansson6632]

Just amazing

[@concernedcitzenamer4901]

Beautifully done. People should strive for a better world, not hate others.

[@marylinlott2684]

That was beautiful

[@beachlife2968]

Amazing voice .She has really blossomed has she has got older and gets better and better.

[@davidcatton2806]

So so brilliant. Amazing performance to one of my best of Neil's songs xxx

[@charlesarnold8337]

Voice of an angel!!!

[@michaeljordan3422]

Omg Beautiful Brilliant Performance Guys Well Done

[@johnfarquharson2815]

So beautiful it led me to tears of joy.

[@gosiacebulska8706]

Heavens open its gates to You for sharing this magnificent sensual feast. Ever since I heard it, each time I get saddened, but melancholic just as well, I replay this heartsome, vibrant composition. The synchrony, and connection on the emotional level is truly moving and fills me up with tears of joy and appreciation for glimpses of divine in this overall gloomy world.

[@guzinaljiljana6570]

It is so beautiful.That angelic voice makes me having guss pumps .

[@trishalivingston1051]

WOW! Sissel is outstanding. TY so much for sharing. Just in so much awe. Love that Neil Sedaka is totally enthralled with her voice and is so supportive while he plays. It gives the sense of a true collaboration of mutual respect. There such a wonderful sense of joy and appreciation between composer and performer!

[@marygracehughes7455]

Outstanding!

[@terryfarrar451]

Been a fan of his ever since he came on the scene in the fifties songwriter extrordinair

[@fernandharo8497]

Merveilleuse créature, c'est parfait dans tout les sens !

[@TStorms005]

so clear and consice

[@gregnixon1296]

My word…just beautiful.

[@kdevinturner8778]

Amazing. The only live oboe who ever lived. Prettiest instrument in the whole wide round world.

[@noriemeha]

At 18, it must have come as a significant boost to her confidence when a songwriter like Sedaka plays his composition for her to sing and he is giving all the signals during performance that she is delivering it and in spades.

[@lucasmetzler]

ADORO Sissel... Entretanto, creio que JAMAIS superarão a magistral interpretação de Karen Carpenter desta composição tão linda de Neil Sedaka.

[@carolbozek1625]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Voice with us! I begin each day listening to one of your songs. ❤️🙏🏽🌈🌹🌻💕

[@reinholdkorbel4650]

einfach fantastisch beide Interpreten, bin glücklich, dass ich mir das ansehen und anhören kann, bin begeistert 👍👍👍

Marvelous voice!😊

[@TimothyRookey]

Praying for you, Sissel, my sister. I wish YOU could teach little me voice.

[@organgoesheavy]

thank you for upload this Video. sissel is so great

[@charliebenedetti7394]

If you listen closely you'll hear some of her little childhood tones resonating throughout the song. No wonder she is such a sweetheart.

[@noriemeha]

Well, she's 21 here and some way to go before the voice will realize its prime. It's in transition. I heard she was unwell at this performance and running a high fever. If that's true then she was quite heroic here.

[@normanriches0516]

Very nice ,wonderful composition,

[@VolkerundWallyMusic]

Very Nice Performance Happy New Year

[@mariagizmo2145]

It gets me every time I hear this. Goosebumps everywhere 😍😍😍😍 That voice she has is totally unik ❤❤❤

[@normanbell-br7nf]

you are right

[@David-ot9tr]

She really is amazing!

[@luisfilipe1603]

Oh my GOD. My dear Neil I'm your fan since almost beginning and looking your face I know that you agree with me,never one of your beautiful songs was so great interpretation then this (except you). About the voice of Sissel, I don't know...the others sing, what Sissel do is other thing. From LISBON with love.

[@lilyviterbo4907]

Awesome!🥰

[@roycawthorne]

what lovely fans she has .

[@normanbell-br7nf]

Reminds me of the feeling when I got when I saw Diana Ross sing "When you tell me that you love me" on a Royal Variety Show or something similar -- Such a beautiful powerful moving performance -- life enhancing really ...
