I think that her voice and singing ability is only one part of the IMMENSE "package of Talent" that God bestowed upon her. There is her ethereal beauty that grows more captivating with age - her mesmerizing smile and eyes - the warmth, love, joy and energy that radiates from her - her sense of humor and her intoxicating laugh - and her modesty and humility. Sissel stated in an interview that she realizes that her talent was a GREAT gift from God to be treasured and used wisely. Christians talk much about "humility" and how important it is. However, when you have a talent and gifting as great as that which Sissel does, to STILL be able to be truly humble is also a great gift INDEED !! As so-o-o-o many have commented on her videos - when God brought a "Sissel" into this world, it was truly one of His most beautiful, unique, and precious creations !! 🥰🥰🥰

Incredible voice, charming smile, beautiful soul, infectious laughter, expressive eyes, good manners, amazing sense of humour.. I like you, Sissel!)

A voice that came from the heavens and speaks to all people. Sissels voice can raise the spirit to the surface of the skin to glow, speaks for all genres. This interview is the perfect message for all musicians. Learn it, feel it, express it as only you can and share it back with feeling. God Bless

the anti-diva, Sissel. To have so much talent yet remain grounded & humble is another impressive attribute.

God bless her voice

Beautiful voice - what more can one say!

I discovered Sissel on KZfaq, and so glad I did. I love her music videos.

When Sissel covers "popular" contemporary songs that everybody else is singing she is a good singer. When she sings more obscure pieces and classical pieces, including her religious pieces, she is on a different planet from everyone else out there. She is so powerful, so absolutely clear with her notes, "haunting" comes to mind, unbelievable talent! She is so smooth. Her performances with the LDS Tabernacle Choir are what I imagine angels would sound like ...

Sissel is such a perfect classical and classy person and I am soo impressed with her! 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

God put this woman on earth, so we can get a preview of what the angels sound like when they sing! She's a foretaste of heaven!

Amen, So humble and beautiful. GOD gave you a talent and you have used it well to his honour. Keep close to GOD and you'll get that explosive experience you wish for. GOD BLESS YOU Sissel. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Her instinct to not cave and become an "American product" (be put in a box as she describes) was wisdom held by so few. She is one impressive woman. We are so lucky to be on the receiving end of her gifts.....

I love her singing and her background . She has the voice of an angel .

When Sissel sings, it is the melody that you hear not the words. Her voice is so beautiful and pure.

Even when she laugh it sounds like singing! She is AMAZING...

Siisel didn't allow herself to be sucked into the "commercial machine" that's why she will always remain a special gem.

I feel blessed watching this video. I’m humbled. You are a virtuous woman... your voice, carriage, personality speaks volumes. God bless you 🙏

She is just soooo beautiful! It is like something out of a storybook. Incredibly a beautiful woman and that is a complement. Plus, soooo incredibly talented and angelic.

I don’t rate Sissel in any musical style! She is so good in all styles simply brilliant! She has lifted music to its highest level! God bless her!

A very enjoyable insight to a beautiful person, a shared treasure. Alas I did not see the respect she deserved from the interviewer

In a culture addicted to sound-bites, an interview like this is such a rarity that it stands out. It was like a conversation held in a home rather than in front of cameras.

How could anyone not be familiar with her incredible voice from Lillehammer? It was the most memorable recollection from those Olympic games. You hear her voice for an instant and remember forever! The same Olympics when she sang as a teenager the opening song in 1984, and Torvill and Dean won Gold for Britain ice dancing to Bolero. Her voice rocked my world at that opening, without knowing her name, wanted to find her and hear her sing. She is incredible. Her version of Titanic is incredible and there is nothing she can't do vocally!

She said NO so naturally when she was asked that question with 18. This is very inspiring.

"... l think the main thing for me is that I never wanted to be a star....I just wanted to sing.... it's all I ever really wanted to do. (in my life)

I love how she had the healthy spirit of discernment at such a young age to tell the producer in LA her expression of her reservations because she felt something wasn't quite right and doesn't feel right with the producer's push to rush her to celebrity status and stardom. Sissel is truly one of a kind.

What a unique Lady! An International Treasure!

What a great singer, such a beautiful lady and a lovely person. I am a very big fan!!!! Mike W

Great interview. Like the fact that Doug was so respectful and not asking stupid questions or embarrassing one. Respectful at all times.Sissel is very eloquent with her answers, even there seems to be a shyness or maybe just the way she carries herself. Classy, thanks.

I can relate to this so much. You can't get spiritually closer then you do within nature. Nothing can be more beautiful.

Only a miracle can explain the existence of Sissel.

A beautiful woman with a wonderful voice.

How wonderful it is to have this island of beauty, joy and wonder that is known as Sissel. When life is getting me down and I'm feeling low, I listen to Sissel and all is better. Thankyou for posting and keep up the good work... the world needs this beauty. Best wishes, Chad

Refreshing, straightforward, engaging, from the heart, in word and song.

I discovered my roots in Norway and Sissel gives me the greatest joy.

I have a big collection of what were my favorite singers. Sissel, by far tops them all. More than likely forever.

I have watched this several times--like that her mother was always singing; like her connection with nature, and like her gentle nature

Wow! A great interview with the greatest of singers.

Sissel is second to none, she made her name proud. Sissel stands for Saint Cecilia - the saint of music.

So glad that you resisted the American way....which would have taken the beauty in your ability away and trashed it. Thank you for having the insight to resist this pressure and keeping the beauty of your voice and keeping true to yourself. It is a rarity anymore. I am in love with your sounds....thank god, that you can continue gracing the world with your voice well into your senior years. Just keep doing it.

Yes, Sissel is without doubt the very best there is.

She's an angel Alex! And a kindred soul. Thanks for posting!

I will say this Her beauty , her voice is not the Beauty gives to me but the Soul has a beauty for me is difficult to share and has no words. She brings tears to my eyes not of sadness but Happiness.

Sissel........I could spend hours listening to your talk as well as sing ..........and when you've finished, then I would ask to put my arms around you .

I love that singer so much!

This was nearly 10 years after Titanic was realeased. I didn't think she spoke English at all. She is so beautiful.

Thank you Sissel for not signing a contract in LA because they would’ve ruined you just like the many before you but instead you stayed true to yourself and now we get to enjoy your music

a special glimpse into the life of a very special person, Thanks so much for posting Alex.

Some young people get obsessed with celebrity culture, finely, here is someone worthy of it.

Been in love with her voice since Titanic

Alex, a truer word has not been spoken. LIKE ANY GREAT ARTIST, WHO IS ABOUT TO PAINT A PICTURE THEY HAVE A GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND TO CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING THE ARTIST GENTLY CARESSES THE CANVAS LIKE ITS A LOVER WITH THE GENTLENESSS OF A SNOWFLAKE LANDING ON A LEAF SISSEL DOES THE SAME SHE HAS THE BEAUTY TO DRAW YOU IN LIKE A MOTH TO A LAMP AND THEN SHE CAPTIVATES HER AUDIENCE WITH A VOICE THAT CAN MELT THEIR HEARTS AND MAKE THEM SHED TEARS OF HAPPINESS ONLY SOMEONE WHO HAS THIS EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY OF COMMUNICATION CAN HOPE TO ACHIEVE THIS AND OUR NORWEGIAN BEAUTY HAS CERTAINLY GOT THAT.🌹 Stan

I have been listening to Sissel for years now and she is so good!

Thanks Alex, for showing us this interview where Sissel, for me, is same i was dreaming her !!! i love her...because...i am same her ...we must understand that all is around us, of course, i prefer Nature than buildings, all, and me, if i can understand i am nothing, my ego is nothing, than...Who ??? thinks , than ??? take your real place in the world !!! love and love to humility of SISSEL.... she know what "talent" is !!! thanks , and more !

Sissel, I love everything about you, your beautiful face, your beautiful voice, I cannot get enough of you, love you, Jerry.

It is a shame she doesn't tour in North America. I would pay a lot to hear and see her sing. Guess I should just book a flight to Norway.

I just love watching this! At this time Sissel has remarried....Although I don't know her age in this interview. She is 44. I hope her children, who are in their teens, realize what a wonderful Mother they have and they show her deep love and respect. I know her parents are so beautiful and proud of her. God made very few people like this lady.

What a very beautiful person.

6/9/21 ... I am such an emotional person. I cry so easily. I can never understand how these performers can sing such touching music and not breakdown themselves.

From the Land Down Under Such Beauty Sissel the Goddess of Bergen .There is a God Afterall.

I have been listening to Sissel for years now and she is so good! I remember commenting on her sight a few of years ago that if she comes to Utah let me know!

Beautiful, classy, and amazing

What a classy lady and a great interview. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Alex for putting this on! Loved it!!!

13:47 He just fell in love with her. With Sissel that doesn't take long to do..

Thanks for uploading. What a tribute Sissel has paid to choirs in general when she felt that she was 'coming home' when she sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Brilliant, talented, beautiful and spiritual!

Gracias por compartir este regalo

She is an Angel!

She is a gift to the world.....

Tak ma głos anioła ❤️❤️❤️ Ona płynie nad ziemią 🌷🌷 cudowny, cudowny głos!!

Magnificent, to say the least.

Top interview!

Such timely expressions enhance the cerebral sound

Great interviewer!!

Thanks a lot for sharing this.

Thanks Alex, I very much admire Sissel..

The melody is what first impresses me in a song before the words.

Well, one thing is for certain .. she has a beautiful voice

Thanks my friend! ! ! It is very pleasant to me to have a soulmate on other end of our small planet! ! !

How did you overlook this fabulous voice David Foster? You are not alone! I am 78 and just recently heard of her! Got a lot of lost time to make up for! Sissel is in a class of her own!

just beautiful

What a delightful artiste'.

amazing voice, loved it!

I like to hear her, so sweet voice.

Practically perfect in every way❤️🙏

we all love you

Sissel, You are the best, Olive You!

God! love ur voice

If She isn't the most beautiful woman, not sure who is...

I found out you are the same age as me you’re very very beautiful and talented you mean the world to me and I will never forget you with love

Awesome voice.

Most Utahns had a history going back to the foundation of the state- until rather recently- and much of the Utahns ancestry goes back to Scandinavia and to the British Isles- so Sissel coming and hearing her singing is like going home.

we all love you Sissel ok?

Hi, Alex!.....just had to listen to the interview again! Hope you find more interviews in English so we an learn more about her life.

You are the greatest have you been born again as a Christian?God bless! Bill B

Thank God she had the intuition to turn down that LA Producer. They would have corrupted her.

such a voice you have

This was an incredibly inspiring interview. But I'd love to know why so many of these KZfaq clips are cut short at the end! Time to allow the last note to die away, PLEASE!
