Sissel is actually one of the best Sopranos in the world and sings not only opera but all facets of music to the voice as well and also saying the prelude to the titanic
So proud she's Norwegian, she's been given the honour of our national treasure more than once. She also has done that hymn on the movie Titanic and amazing performance with a rap star which I cant remember, u cant find her likes out there 👌👏
Thank you for a very interesting and analytical reaction video of the Norwegian national treasure. She has been performing for four decades in genres like folk, classical, musical, pop and rock. Sissel is also the voice of Ariel in the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish versions of The Little Mermaid. And she did the background music in the Titanic movie from 1997. Try react to her performing "Climb Every Mountain" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C7Y6lFK7JdU.html ), "The Old Castle" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wI8t1F1teDQ.html ) and "You'll Never Walk Alone".

Isn't it wonderful that God loves us so much that he gave us Andrae Crouch (who wrote this song) and gave Sissel her phenomenal voice to sing this song that we can all be blessed. I think Sissel is not only a beautiful woman but the greatest singer alive today... maybe the greatest singer to ever live. Her rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro is the best there is, bar none. I can't wait to see her in heaven and share what a blessing she was in my life. To God be the Glory!
Superb reàction bro! I will underline the suggestion from sisselfan here under. And for me "The Old Castle" is remarkable because it feel like she is looking at and sings for my heart and soul.
You say she employs falsetto in her voice range. Usually with falsetto, you can 'see the join' where natural voice switches into it. So here with Kyrkjebo, either her complete voice is falsetto, or it doesn't apply. Like a good wig, you can't see the join here. Also, Siss with her Scandinavian language abilities has done voice-dubbing for Disney characters for films released in those countries.
To pronounce her name correctly: Listen to the commenator at ab. 3.55 in "The Old Castle" video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wI8t1F1teDQ.html or at ab. 4.27 in "Adagio" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0F8qJUZZ0hg.html or in the very end of the "Surrender" video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kxVoHnepfuc.html .
Sissel is Norwegian not Swedish. She has had a 4 decade long international career and is considered as the world's best crossover soprano. She has had concerts together with the biggest stars within opera, but also a broad range of other stars within the industry. She was singing on the movie Titanic. She was the singer at the opening/closing ceremony at winter olympic ...hence broadcasted all over the world. She has repeated times had concerts with the Tabernacle Choir. She has performed in 12 - 13 different languages around in the world. So she is really something. When it's about your reaction I must say that it can only be an American that can label her singing as Disney-stile. It's almost a offence I would say. ....and there is absolutely nothing theatrical with her singing style. Where do you get that from...???
