The year after, he competed in the World Idol contest; after performing U2's "Beautiful Day" the Australian judge, Ian Dickson, told him: "You're one hell of a marketing challenge because you've got the voice of an angel but you look like a Hobbit." In spite of this, Kurt went on to win the competition, beating the bookies' favourite, American Idol Kelly Clarkson.
He has recorded several albums, the latest one Rise To The Occasion - with the single "Lost Highway" together with country legend Willie Nelson. _The_ Willie Nelson. Kurt has also played with Willie on his tour here in Norway.
Kurt Nilsen married Kristin Halvorsen in the summer of 2006. He has two kids from a previous relationship. His wife, Kristin, is one of the backupsingers in Kurt Nilsens hit "Push Push".
In the sparetime he enjoys trips to his lodge in the Norwegian mountains, and he is a huge fan of fishing.

Kurt Nilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another year has gone, it's getting colder now
Leafs on the threes are falling down,
While I, I'm still in love
Clear blue sky far as the eye can see
The morning you wake it's been snowing in the streats,
The birds flew south as the winter came to me
Chours:
Well I miss you, soo much
I miss you, your laughty smile and your big green eyes
I miss you, soo much
Well the years changed a lot, I'm still in love
The sun appears, and warm will come
The grass is all green and now springtime has come
Remember the time you came along
And I, I fell in love
Summer is here with lazy days
I'm driving in my car just to catch a race
The only thing thats missing is your beautiful face
Well I, I'm still in love
Chours:
Well I miss you, soo much
I miss you, your laughty smile and your big green eyes
I miss you, soo much
Well the years changed a lot, I'm still in love
The sun appears, and warm will come
The grass is all green and now springtime has come
Remember the time you came along
And I, I fell in love
Chours:
Well I miss you, soo much
I miss you, your laughty smile and your big green eyes
I miss you, soo much
Well the years changed a lot, I'm still in love
The song Four Seasons by Kurt Nilsen describes the changing of seasons, which reflects the passage of time and how love can endure despite the change in seasons. The lyrics narrate how life goes on even as time passes with the flowers fading as fall comes again, the leaves falling from trees, and the snow in the streets. Meanwhile, the singer remains in love with someone who is not present physically, but is still very much present emotionally. The first verse sets the melancholic mood of the song, as it narrates the sadness of losing someone while still clinging onto the memories of their love.
The chorus is a repetition of the longing for that person they left behind, with "I miss you soo much" repeated three times, perhaps indicating the depth of the singer's feelings. The second verse offers a glimmer of hope, as it talks about the arrival of spring, and the promise of summer. There are memories of the time they spent together, driving around in a car to catch a race, and the missing puzzle piece of the absent beloved. The chorus repeats once more, showing that time may have passed, but the yearning for that person still lingers on.
Ultimately, Four Seasons is a song about the power of love and how it can remain consistent despite the changes in life. Seasons may come and go, but the warmth and memories of a loved one can last a lifetime.
