Alex,you knew as these two ladies stepped onto the stage that this was going to be a real treat. I have said before that the language is unimportant, this might sound stupid but I see a different side of things through the “ body - language “ When Sissel and Carola came out they were right in the zone, ready to party. The laughter gave it away, their eye-contact told you that there was a good time to be had. Carola was a joy to watch and Sissel was in her eliment she loves to have fun. I enjoyed their singing at the start of the show. The conversation was In the eyes of the beholder, I was just going with the flow, and enjoying the banter. Alex once again my “ hats off to you” it’s a real pleasure coming onto your site, because you know you have done your homework. So all I have got to say to you is, Amigos para Siempre 🌹Stan
Carola spoke Swedish. Sissel and Fredrik sometimes spoke Svorsk instead of Norwegian. Svorsk is Norwegian by using Swedish words instead of Norwegian where they're quite different. Probably so the Swedish artist Carola Häggquist could understand. Sissel Kyrkjebø and Fredrik Skavlan are Norwegiian. Norwegians understand Swedish better than vice versa. The Skavlan show was produced in Stockholm and shown in both Sweden and Norway so Fredrik speaks Svorsk to not have two versions of the show. Swedish is better suited than Norwegian for music texts. Almost like Italian is perfect for opera. So maybe the reason you love the language is that you listened to Swedish / Svorsk. Some Norwegian dialects are quite beautiful and others not. Sissel has a beautiful Bergen dialect. Fredrik has a refined Oslo dialect.
+Lee kh Carola speaks Swedish and Sissel speaks Norwegian. The host obviously speaks Norwegian. The two languages and Danish (my language) are close enough for us to understand each other if people don't speak too fast.
@@ChemistryAtomistic Modern Standard German is quite different from Scandinavian (just as different as English is, but in other ways). However, the old dialects that some people still speak in the northern parts of Germany (Platttyska, or Platten deutch) is closer to the scandinavian languages.
