Obviously I was in love with him when I was about 10 (more than a few decades ago)! Completely forgot about A-Ha. But just today, I heard his song “Stay on these Roads” randomly on the radio. I knew it was him - what type of voice does he have? I never noticed as a child. So unusual. How does he sing like that?

He was on the Masked Singer. Obviously he was great but nobody guessed who he was!

He has a very haunting voice, I’ve always been a big fan.

Moonface123 · 30/09/2021 17:46

He has an absolutely beautiful voice, very underated.

Agreed unusual voice. Nice man. I met him. Dh sold him a very very expensive car.

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 30/09/2021 17:49

He's a beautiful man!

NotSure94 · 30/09/2021 17:52

I saw him perform about 10 years ago. He was just as beautiful as he was when I was a smitten 14 year old and yes, incredible voice!

IShouldProbablyHooverMore · 30/09/2021 17:52

His voice is amazing. A-ha still tour - I saw them a few years back.

Everyone guessed who he was!! Couldn’t have been more obvious…

Ah, my childhood sweetheart Grin

RaisedByPangolins · 30/09/2021 17:55

Oh my word have you seen him though? Aged amazingly and arguably even more beautiful now than ever. And yes, amazing unique voice he has too.

My friend Catherine was going to marry him...my other friend Elisabeth was going to marry Pal...I was supposed to get Mags...🤷‍♀️

Not sure what went wrong with our plan...

Would he be classed as a counter-tenor?

I just googled him on the Masked Singer. Was that a joke? It was so obvious it was him - he sang his own song Confused

He has 5 children now. Blimey.

Can’t he span an octave or something? He’s got an incredible range

Rupertpenrysmistress · 30/09/2021 17:59

He is and always has in my opinion been amazing. Watch his live stuff it's unbelievable.

grafittiartist · 30/09/2021 18:00

Fabulous voice!!

Dixiechickonhols · 30/09/2021 18:00

I saw him (with A -Ha) at Blackpool football club along with OMD and Thompson twins - was fab concert and really cheap too in 2018. Electric 80s I think it was.

According to my friend Catherine, he can span her octave whenever he feels like it... Shock Grin

Does anyone else still have their "Going Live" A-ha jumper?

Dontgetyerknicksinatwist · 30/09/2021 18:02

I just googled him. I think he looks very much like the late Patrick Swayzee

Oblomov21 · 30/09/2021 18:29

Ahhhh Patrick Swayze aswell ..... GlitterballStar❤️

HemanOrSheRa · 30/09/2021 18:31

Oh I saw A-Ha at the Bristol Colston Hall in January 1987. I was 14. I touched Morten's hand and wrist bands. Sigh.

Dixiechickonhols OMD are AMAZING live! I saw them a couple of years ago and danced so hard one of my boobs fell out of my bra Grin.
