Sissel Kyrkjebø & Russell Watson - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Sissel Kyrkjebø and Russell Watson performing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at a TV-concert in Oslo Spectrum, Norway in November 2002.
Sissel, the international singing sensation and national treasure of Norway, is established as one of the world’s leading crossover sopranos. Her angelic and powerful voice has made Sissel a national institution and she has sung all over the world, selling over ten million solo albums. She has contributed haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, and has been performing duets with singers like Charles Aznavour, Andrea Bocelli, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Mario Frangoulis, Josh Groban, Brian May, Neil Sedaka, Bryn Terfel and Russell Watson. In 2005, she was knighted by the King of Norway, as the youngest ever to receive this honour. And in 2006, her album 'The Spirit of the Season' with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir went to number-one on the Billboard Classical Charts, and received a Grammy nomination. A very remarkable voice that only comes once in our lifetime.

Oh Lord, the most perfect voice!! I will spend all weekend looking for as much of Sissel as I can find. She is so underrated, what a shame so many with less natural tallent are so praised.

[@michaelhawkins8152]

Mike from England Sissel has the true passion in the songs that she sings and her beauty that she has grows the passing of the years and in her singing is the place where her love resides which reflects in the songs that she sings...

[@lorigorham534]

SISSEL, IS CLEARLY A BEAUTIFUL SINGER, WITH A LOVELY TONE TO HER VOICE. RUSSELL WATSON IS JUST AS BRILLIANT IN HIS CRAFT. HE EVOKES SUCH PASSION AND EMOTION, I GET CHILLS WHEN I WATCH HIM SING AND HE PULLS HIS AUDIENCE INTO HIS EMOTIONS. AMAZING MAN AND QUITE THE GENTLEMAN...AND SURELY NOT BAD ON THE EYES.

It blows my mind how effortlessly she sings. She is amazing.

Mankind has borrowed Sissel from heaven , in her music we can get a glimpse of the absolute beauty of heaven.

[@yaploongsin8788]

A perfect combination of a tenor & an angelic voice. Lovely rendition.

[@lindascanlan6317]

Bravo Bravo Bravo...cannot stop crying ..wow this is pure enchantment.

[@mikedickison244]

Possibly the best rendition of this song since the S&G. Her voice is immaculately pure and clear. His is a superb.blend of mellow and strong. Together they are made perfect by a orchestra with beautiful picolo highlights. Wonderous performance. Thank you all.

[@elifiodesouza150]

Sissel has the most beautiful voice I have listened to. She never fails to perform at a level of excellence. This rendition with Russell is superb.

[@paulalane8638]

Absolutely beautiful...thank you! This song was my high school class song.....1974.❤

[@lymansn]

This is one of the best arrangements i have heard of this beautiful song. Way to go Sissel & Russell

[@politicalfoolsandhorses]

I cannot help coming back to listen to this from time to time. This sounds like Magic on a Grundig Super HiFi. The backing orchestra is so great and so refined - His voice can be like gentle fingers and just as strong when needed. And needless to say Sissel uses here crossover soprano voice to blend it all together so nicely. A perfect combination.

[@chuckg2016]

Not since the original has anyone approached anything near this level. Bravo!!

[@jacgel6493]

WoW... Je me rappelle mes jeunes années... quand la musique était belle. Merci..

[@brianbrino4310]

Sissel you irradiate beauty from within as well as outside! Your Aura is pure like that of an Angel! You are absolutely awesome and loving! Thank you thank you until Eternity!

Sissel is the Queen.

[@theresachalmers8189]

Russell Watson, a perfect match for Sissel.

[@pheejl7534]

Never even heard of her until now. She’s good. Without YT recommendation (good and bad) I would have never known about her. Glad I came upon her.

[@IZZYINN2]

I have said this before & I will say it again, She has the voice of an Angel.

[@glennpryce7281]

Wow I'm totally blown away by the voice

[@jamesmeagher7912]

Both do justice to this song!

[@dasboot5903]

Whata fantastic DUET singing a great American song together !!!! I am very, very impressed with their version of it !!!!

[@1951don]

If the eyes are the mirror of the soul, she must have a beautiful soul. I could stare into those eyes all day. Her musical talent matches her beauty.

[@TheGecko213]

Donald Perry Window to the soul, not mirror.

[@1951don]

Right you are.

[@eddiesaca6587]

This version is the best because of the duet of the performers. Sissel's voice is so crystalline, sweet, feminine and effortless, matching the tenor's superb voice! This song should be an opportunity for married couple to renew their vow and stand by each other!

[@dalelintner6375]

What talent. Both of them.

[@glenmcgregor3366]

The sound of angels. When someone asks you how to describe that sound, then you can tell them, this is the sound, the voices of angels.

[@denismcnicoll9515]

So moving...as I near death this keeps a smile in my brain.

[@patriciatulloch4252]

Best version of this song I have ever heard fabulous

[@waynenielsen8226]

And the UK must be very proud of The Voice, Russell Watson!

[@CharlesLeacock]

When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side Oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled waters I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled waters I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part Oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled waters I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled waters I will lay me down Sail on Silver Girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, when you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled waters I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled waters I will ease your mind

[@Alex-Gato]

Beautiful rendition! It seemed to me that next to Sissel, any voice would fade. But Russell pleasantly surprised me. With his strong and clear voice, he is a worthy match with Sissel.

[@paulconrad8150]

After being a huge Sissel fan since we heard her singing on a bus in Norway, I finally figured out what I love about her is the passion she puts into every single word she sings! So many thanks for her many You Tube videos!

[@johnvidag]

She is a 100% beautiful woman through her voice, her looks, and her sweet behavior.

[@milohazeldine8615]

Stunning voices! This is a pure DREAM! It touches your heart deeply!
