Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on September 29, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Kurt Nilsen! From conquering Pop Idol to becoming the ultimate World Idol champion, you've proven that Norway doesn't just produce great fjords and sweaters—it's also home to legendary country singers with unforgettable voices. Your debut album "I" in 2003 was a musical milestone, followed swiftly by "A Part of Me," making us all proud (and slightly jealous) of your incredible talent.

Here's wishing you another year filled with chart-topping hits, sold-out concerts, and plenty more moments where fans worldwide wonder how someone can sing so effortlessly while looking like they're having this much fun. Keep rocking on!
