Middle Earth Idol

Hello! This is the first community for the fans of the Pop Idol Norway AND World Idol winner, Kurt Nilsen! A former plumber and father of two, Kurt Nilsen doesn't fit with the image of a pop star: he's rather short, he's got a gap in his front teeth, and he's been likened to a hobbit. That doesn't really conjure images of screaming fan girls, but, well... it worked good enough for Frodo and Pippin. Damnit, he's our Middle Earth Idol, and we're not afraid to say he's cute, either *hubba hubba*

Don't feel like you need to be an expert on him to join. Chances are, unless you live in Norway, not many people will know much about him. Hopefully, he'll become popular in the US and elsewhere.

If you decide to join, let us know something about you! Tell us who you are, how you became interested in Kurt Nilsen, what you like about him, etc. Don't be shy, no one's gonna make fun of you. If you need help, here! Feel free to use this, or you can do it your own way:
