Kurt Nilsen

[whetherman]

So i was just wondering how many people had heard of the less than mainstream singer by the name of Kurt Nilsen.
Before i was introduced to his quintet song cover of "hallelujah" among other norwegian singers, i had no clue who he was or what he stood for.



I come today humbled by a voice so incredible, but a face that wasn't marketable... enough to make it to the center stage of American music. I can say wholeheartedly that hearing those vocals in the states would be an improvement from some of the more mediocre singers out there.

Why do i care exactly? Listen to this and you'll understand. -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKg7SB-tcdA
