I know that Pete and I are fans of Lene's, I wondered if there was anyone else?
My favourite album of hers is 'Playing My Game'

Hi Jon, Looks like its just the two of us  I love the sound of spoken and sung Norwegian... Esp this video with both Lena and Sissel both www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQg9sQXUwkAIt doesn't help me that we had lots of Norwegian kids at my boarding High School in Taiwan Kind of made me enjoy hearing it blessings, Peter T. PS: oh and Marit Larsen from Norway is also really great to listen to.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZECjNSC_ZGUI'm esp *impressed* with this one where they sing in Mandarin Chinese! Marit's tones are almost right on... and thats saying alot considering how critical tones are in spoken Chinese... www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7gB14nHnXc |

Hello, Yes, I agree, Peter. Their pronunciation of Mandarin is very good.  It is very clear and accurate. Raymond |

Hi Raymond, Marit (the fair haired one) sings Mandarin quite well... but Marion is kind of off in the beginning but gets better I've since found out that Marit has taken some Chinese lessons - so it makes sense I'd love to hear Hayley sing in Mandarin! Peter Hello, Yes, I agree, Peter. Their pronunciation of Mandarin is very good. It is very clear and accurate. Raymond |

What is great about Lene MArlin is that she writes her own songs herself. It's impressive, becuase it's the sort of songs that you'd expect to come from someone twice her age. Someone who has experienced life.... This song is wonderful Lene Marlin - You Weren't There : www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNgGcYUFF_ARead more about Lene here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lene_Marlin |

hi cta, Glad to see someone else that can appreciate these up and coming young Norwegian artists.... I personally think they are great. I do really enjoy Marit Larsen's music... Lisa Borud is another young artist I like (she is a 11 year old gospel singer at her church in Grimstad). Thanks for posting! PS: I'm still blown away after all these days by Marit Larsen's pronunciation of mandarin Chinese! I'm just... well amazed! Can't wait to hear Hayley sing in Mandarin sometime |

I think Lene is awesome. She's working on a new album right now, apparently. Which is good, as it's been far too long.
