often people's ability to sing deteriorates as they get older. he's very lucky he can still hit all those high notes and have such a smooth voice. also not to mention live performances mostly sound quite different from studio but this was almost perfect
I was impressed by that too... Rare to listen to a newer version of such iconic classics without them sounding too weird or not at all like the original.
because he has everything you want musculature low body fat high cheek bones he has confidence and a successful band -> good looking and successful guy
I was just about to write the same. He was one good-looking lad in his youth and still is! Who cares that he's older than my father. *lol* Also the glasses do something very good to his face imo.
I've always loved that little "ba-ba-ba-oh" Morten does at the beginning, just so understated and random, but fits the song so well all the same. @ 0:25
It is autotune you fool. Why do you think he covers the mic each time the actual high point of the song occurs? Hes older so naturally he wont sound the same!
Fantastic little band with a brilliant and enigmatic lead singer, all the songs were great. This is a stunning live performance of a song that must be a nightmare to sing. Great!
Oh my god, he's even hotter now than he was when this song first came out, and he still sings perfectly 😍 (this song is really hard to sing and I'm really impressed by how well he still sings it now that he's probably in his late 50's)
+MarcusGL The reason he still looks very good and even became more handsomer compared to when has younger because he probably have stop using narcotic drugs or even better yet he never took narcotic drugs before or so. He also maintain his health by keeping himself fit and eating the right healthy organic foods and often going to the gym while he is using his lifetime wealth to live right for his old age. He enjoys himself to the point where he may looks younger although he is old now. His timeless song would never dies out because it still even sounds good even for the coming 50 years later when he even be long gone - thank you for this comments. :) :)
I owe my pre-teen, teen, post-teen, and what ever I am now to my musical life with a-ha ... Love u Morten, Mags n Pal ... n all ur instrument players, studio guyz n managers n ur coffee bringers n ur dogs n the pilots n the girls n ur parents n ur fans n ur sheer grit n everything I missed in between ..... Love u a-ha ... U R MY World ...!!!! A fan from Trivandrum, Kerala, India, who will almost never see u perform live .... Love ... Love ... n more of the same .... Oh btw, of all that heavenly magic that I'm addicted to, the song - 'Stay on These Roads' is my all time fav ... Nothing else comes even near ...!!!!!!!!!!
33 years ago... a little musical group... a vocal leader, and his soft and delicate voice... They has a musical cannon and a chewing gum songs ... Success came naturally overwhelming... A-Ha Forever!!!
+Ng Sze Hon The problem is the way the music world works now. The internet ruined how bands could play and find their own audience and then get signed.
Ok I am not 100% sure but the woman really looks like Annelie Drecker . Norwegian singer with loads of great music to check out. Search using her name, she was in a band called "Bel Canto" who had a number of good albums, and she was in Jah Wobbles song "becoming more like god"...
Morten was my first platonic love. I was 11 years old with this song, but now I can go out with him cause I'm 44 haha. Excellent group, the quality is timeless...return to Argentina soon!
Oh my God, he's already 60 by now, but his voice remain the same, i hope for the best for the band, be healthy as always and keep entertain us, and accompany me in my old days hehe, Greetings from Indonesia, 😁👏
Guapo guapo guapo, como los buenos vinos...y aún conserva esa voz y entonar esas notas, una de las mejores canciones de los 80's,👏👏👏👏👏 bravo, no me canso de escucharla 🎧🎧🎶🎶🎧🎧
He has the looks,voice and amazing personality! What more can you ask for honestly. Such an amazing song, I was so shocked when he hit that highnote, No matter how old he gets, His voice doesn't. ❤️
I had a biggest crush on him when this song came out. Still looking good, reminds me of Richard Gere. They have both aged well. I still have a crush on him til today😍😉
![a-ha - Take On Me (Official Video) [Remastered in 4K]](/img/n.gif)
More than 30 years later he still can sing it perfectly
And why couldn't he ?
often people's ability to sing deteriorates as they get older. he's very lucky he can still hit all those high notes and have such a smooth voice.
also not to mention live performances mostly sound quite different from studio but this was almost perfect
Can't have been ruined by cigarettes like some 😊 he's still a sexy bugger too 😍
I'm still not sure he's not faking the high note with a keyboard.
Ariel Cabrera and he can still hit that note
He looks like a good father to me.
omg
Daddy
yo you disrespecting my homeboy ese?
I'm not sure, if you ask me, he looks kinda sketchy.
what makes you think that is his glasses. fits on his face and gives a reliability message to you.
Morten's voice is fantastic, but for me this song has always been about the Keyboards. This song has one of the most iconic Keyboard riffs of all time
30 years later, keyboards sound has not changed. Still sounds so great even in 2019
totally agree, soon as you hear it you know instantly you're listening to Aha - Take on me :)
Depeche mode too.
The twinkling riff.
Yep, recognized from the first 4 notes by anyone.
He ages like god damn wine the beautiful bastard
;-))
Twmski hahaha
Hahaha so fucking handsome!!!!
This comment captures all my feelings perfectly omg.
I'm not gay, but gotta admit he makes me awfully curious!!!
Still as good today as it was 30 odd years ago
31 años...fiiiiiuuuuuuuuuu
Agreed!!!!
bom de mais a ha 100 pareia adoro eles
Totally agree.............And Morten looks hotter than ever!! ♡‿♡
Agree!!!!
They're something like 60 years old now. Amazing. Good recreation of the original sound.
Morten is 57
fab thefab Closer to 60 than 50.
I was impressed by that too... Rare to listen to a newer version of such iconic classics without them sounding too weird or not at all like the original.
pangismo Well said.
Muckell Manky Yea
1984- what a song!
30 years later!
2019- people watches it for hours.
This song is endless!
I could wear time stone and loop this song endlessly ,Even Dormamu would enjoy then ...Music Is Life
I could wear time stone and loop this song endlessly, Even Dormamu will enjoy this ,Music Is Life ....

+Ytalo Nassar
exelente cancion!
Long live the 80's
The fact that he can go that high just baffles me. I need to learn this song
Prodexce i think its the piano
His smile at the beginning! Oh god I'm melting...
Astaga wkwkwk
😻😍😻😍😻😍🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊
I am water now
Exactly
It took me one hour to finish listening to the song. I've been repeating that scene about 1500 times.
3:07 wow after 3 decades he can still hit that high note
4*
Why on earth do I find a man 39 years older than me attractive?🙄
Probably because he is.
because he has everything you want
musculature
low body fat
high cheek bones
he has confidence
and a successful band
-> good looking and successful guy
MBHerbig don't forget to mention that high note
I was just about to write the same. He was one good-looking lad in his youth and still is! Who cares that he's older than my father. *lol*
Also the glasses do something very good to his face imo.
because he has everything you need :
- Stamina
- Health
- Endurance
I always found him cute in the music video, but DAMN HE FINEEEE AF NOW, HIT ME UP PAPI!
cosmodic I KNOW RIGHT
Didnt lose his voice, didnt lose his looks
im shook
At his age, he’s pretty fine.
I've always loved that little "ba-ba-ba-oh" Morten does at the beginning, just so understated and random, but fits the song so well all the same.
@ 0:25
Fuck he still hits those falsettos perfectly and with such strength
Brilliant song
Jimmy Solanki if that is no autotune
Agree
He still sounds exactly the same as the studio version. His voice hasn't changed throughout the years!
It is autotune you fool. Why do you think he covers the mic each time the actual high point of the song occurs? Hes older so naturally he wont sound the same!
You don't know what you're talking about. Go listen to the acoustic live version: watch?v=-xKM3mGt2pE
Damn! He can really hit those high notes! Great performance
Psivewri yea from low to high notes in the chorus he sang it really properly
When you learn something it is with you your whole life xD
Psivewri Ikr at this age :0
Yes,the voice is as smooth as eucalyptus oil😂,If you know you know!Btw awesome videos keep up and looking forward to more MacBook videos
I’m here for this in 2024.
(Better still, my friend and I were actually there, front row centre, at the recording).
🥰
The lead singer is as handsome as ever. I love him ❤

The keyboard part always gets me. Such a masterpiece.

One of the best pop songs ever which appeals to all ages - even Bono rates it.... Great stuff.
Wow he still looks so good for his age..wonderful! A good band ....
my young song fave ever till now
I bet after the performance, they wanted to say "We still got! We still got!" to the crowd. Which they really do still got it!
ikr
지금도 그때의 추억을 잊지 못 하면서. 아름답게 나이들어가는 모습 너무 보기 좋습니다.
I can't believe how well they've aged. They sound so fresh, joyful, and Morten's voice hasn't moved one iota. Impressive
I wish I was born in the 80's, so glad they did another live performance. Goes to show how artificial music has become. What a set of pipes he has
ArmouredUnicorn just becuz of the music? a lot of crap happened back then..
Why? You can listen to the music now yes?
This is Pequod ! Arriving shortly at LZ !
God what a beautiful looking man. I love those Scandinavian features 😍
Add up and go on. 37 years have passed and will continue until the other lives. A classic never dies.

Fantastic little band with a brilliant and enigmatic lead singer, all the songs were great. This is a stunning live performance of a song that must be a nightmare to sing. Great!
Morten came from the same planet as Tom Cruise. they dont get old, they get better!
Thanks A-ha!
문득 생각이 나서 유툽 검색했는데 와우 이렇게 멋지게 여전히 활동하고 계실 줄이야...어렸을 때보다 더 잘 생겨보이고요...노래 실력 또한 정말 최고예요...wonderful♡
그러게요 ㅠㅠ 중후하고 멋지게 나이드셨어요👍👍 보이스도 여전히 멋지시고 오히려 더 미성이 되셨네요😍
omg this song is now 32 years old, still love it ☺
Yes,great song, amazing voice range but the keyboard riff is the best bit that brings it all together
he still hot!!! 😍
wtf
Oh my god, he's even hotter now than he was when this song first came out, and he still sings perfectly 😍 (this song is really hard to sing and I'm really impressed by how well he still sings it now that he's probably in his late 50's)
Morten nació en 1959 así que fijate que edad tiene y como se conserva tan hermoso.
Love how the backing female singer is dancing away when she's not singing. What an honour to be up on the stage with Morten and co! ^_^
Looking damn good for someone in their mid 50s
look rick astley ;)
Robert downey jr
He can still hold that high note I swear he gets more beautiful in age ☺️
His eyes got more gentle after 30+ yrs, nice.
Look at the crowd... sons/daugthers, fathers/mothers, granpas/granmas... wonderful !!
LONG LIVE NORWEGIAN SINGERS!

I'm surprised that his notes are still close to his old self. That's just wonderful. Musicians are played so beautifully well.
Morten Harket is truly a great great vocalist, still got it at 56 years of age........RESPECT !!!
When I get old, I wanna be like him. Good body, not much of belly fat, and still looking young..

80's are the age of golden music
Music, movies, and TV, imo.
when the 80s gave us joy in music, why did the modern era give us songs about butts and sex

The problem is the way the music world works now. The internet ruined how bands could play and find their own audience and then get signed.

That's so true! And the 70's too. The 80's and the 70's, that's where the best music was born
