Ok I'll just start this with saying that this is this years winner of the Norwegian "got talent2 competition.

or youtub'ish direct: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ArWPgvahPY Do check out from 02:48 and forward... that is mind blowing stuff!
Anyway He's called Erlend Bratland, is 16 years, and listen to that voice!!!

Not since Kurt Nilsen, or Morten Harket (A-Ha) or Werner Danielsen has Norway had such a talent in singing!
Awesome voice!!!

Ok... this is a bit Idol/Got Talent'y but this is not what usually comes out of a singing competition of this type!
We've had those competitions for years. But this has got to be the second time a awesome voice is found.
The first time it was Kurt... who became world Idol.. But this must equal or better!!!
I mean.. He showed up at the audition in Marilyn Manson gear and sung "Oh Holy night" ... Like you've rarely heard it performed!
OK... I'm a Singing competition addict, you guys should know by now... 

Never mind what the judges say, it's basically ... OMG!!! WOW!!! You the MAN!!!
Here he sings opera. (Nella fantasia).. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guFtBlJHdos Looking like Pink I guess...  Incredible!!!  Beautiful!!

Not to forget Matt Rach...
http://www.gtridol.com/mattrach (This is guitar Idol 2008 people!!!)

This dude is seriously musical, and capable at several instruments!!!
It's like watching Vai, satriani or Petrucci growing up this!
The possibilities made by the internet today is basically endless.
But only so few will ever make it, even with all this made available.
I think, this is a guitarist to be reckoned with for the future!!!

So British! Indeed! Like a young Anna Netrebko really... Seriously, this is close in vocal parameters, if we disregard age difference
and years of training that must still come, but still! Very talented young girl this!
