5.0 out of 5 stars Kurt...The Hobbit With The Voice Of An Angel, February 7, 2004

I saw Kurt on the World Idol show and told all of my friends "This guy will win this contest--hands down." And sure enough he did. I ordered the CD from a Norweigian website since it wasn't available in the U.S. (yet) and I haven't stopped playing it since I got it. Kurts vocals on every song resonate with so much passion. I love every song on this CD. I am glad that he didn't do an album of only covers. The original songs are brilliant! My favorite is the hauntingly beautiful title cut "I". Kurt deserved to win the competition and he has definitely won the hearts of fans all over the world. I can't wait to hear more from this talented singer/songwriter. Keep them coming Kurt!

5.0 out of 5 stars KURT NILSEN ROCKS!!! THE BEST NEW ARTIST OUT THERE!!!, January 14, 2004

You probably saw him and heard him for the 1st time in World-Idol, when he won over a very dissapointed Kelly Clarkson. This guy has the BEST voice I heard lately (and I belive the WHOLE Europe and USA agrees with me, as they ALL gave him MAXIMUM points during the World-Idol competition). Buying his album will be a compliment for your CD collection. Personal favorites: "I", "Here She Comes" & "Breathe You In"... but the WHOLE CD is EXCELLENT!!! This is a MUST BUY!!!! (2 THUMBS UP)!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Are Amazing!!, April 10, 2004

First of all, I have to say have proud I am to come from the same country as Kurt Nilsen!

Did anyone know that the judges of the norwegian idol actually doughted him on his first audicion? He was so near not to make it. But fortunately he did! He has the bets voice ever! and i neary cried when he won the world idol.. I had followed him trough the whole norwegian idol, and i voted for him every time!

I've only seen him live once, but i'll never forget it. He preformed in one of the cities in norway called Sandefjord. He's voice is even better live!

My favourit track on the album have to be I, even though all are great!

The best part about him, is that he writes most of his music himself, pluss playing the guitar! He's amazing, and i can't believe he hasn't releaced his album in USA yet..

Love you, Kurt!
