- An interview of Björk on the Harald Schmidt Show shortly after she released her "Vespertine" album in 2001.
Update July 2019: Thank you for visiting my channel. I never uploaded often. Stopped uploading entirely in 2012. Leaving this video up so anyone who wants to may enjoy it. :) - Розваги
bjork has mastered being bitterly sarcastic while coming off as naive and adorable. i fucking love it.
@Lala 👁💚 LOL
She was actually seriouse too it was not all sarcastic
Adorable is absolutely correct. I can barely stand it...
@@feridedogan7653 How do you know that?
@@diggie9598 bec i hear alot about Island before how safe the place is. They really arent that worried like in criminal Cities
I don't think people realize that Bjork knows 100% what she's doing here when she says funny shit. Bjork is actually ridiculously smart and she'd been dealing with reporters for over a decade at this point. When she says "we don't have things like golf, squash, or stamp collecting," she's aware that it's funny, and she's aware that people will think she's just being naiive.
Exactly, she runs circles around people by pretending to "play along" with them. She also doesn't do this in a rude or pretentious way but in a cutesy, elfin way, which people expect stereotypically. She kind of brilliantly exploits her stereotype, while exploiting all stereotypes at the same time.
Well she sure comes across as a giant idiot to the rest of us
Anon “Frothing chimp?” Hilarious! So I guess that makes her a complete genius. I bet you think “The Anchor Song” is a masterpiece! One mans steaming pile of shit is another mans potpourri. She sounds like a drowning cat.
Joe Doherty Haha. That’s funny. I agree. She is very smart and obviously has this guy totally fooled. So it works.
@Hadrianon what song is this?
- "You have a very nice dress. Is this the correct order you wear it?"
- "I hope not"
At least it wasn't a swan dress! People are always hating on how she dresses...
Damn this comment is almost old as me .
Only two years shorts .
@@Dojafish Lol
@@davidreames8752 i love her kids of style bec nobody dress those things before.the other celebs are so boring. I cant recognize them anymore.
15 years old comment wow
"I'm not sure but I did notice the comfoRRRT" :) ♡♡♡ SO ADORABLE! ♡♡♡♡
this rolling R is so nice! by speaking a good(not perfect) english...i like it more to speak like her! ist more honest as a blod..hahahahaha
Philip Gooß This is a good example of an Icelandic accent. I live in Iceland and a lot of the older people speak with this accent but is kind of disappearing with the younger generation.
Too cool
Believe it or not, she was 36 years old in this interview. She looks so young.
I believe it
@@grandmamustaine7215 insults are subjective
@@grandmamustaine7215 have you ever seen an 36y old woman ;)?? guess not
36 is not old
36 isnt old -2 Bjork is short with a full face. She has baby like features so shes always look young. That's just her face.
'we don't have trrrrrrains in iceland'... brrrrrrrrrright smile ... she is so adorable sweet and even politely answering his stupid questions.
omg shes soo cutee
WORD
I love it when Björk talks science
yeah its completely made up
makes me think I'm a science genius in comparison
Mint😂
@@cheapbruh9778I think she makes up most of what she says.
If I were the interviewer and she said "the air pressure makes the molecules tiny", I would have no idea where to go from there 😂
She is so hypnotizing, magical, brilliant and smart.
Her Icelandic accent is SO thick in this.. If you watch interviews of her in the 90s, she sounds like a born and bred Briton.
+Kelly Marie This interview WAS in the second half of the 90s + I know that she can speak much more fluent natural English + so I know that she's fooling Harald Schmidt + the studio/TV audience at this moment. Nothing "funny" about that, she's a very silly + affected person at this momemt. Not a problem for me coz I only like a few of her songs + her work with 808 State on the album "Ex:cel" (1991). But embarrassing for her to see her so foolish like THIS here....
+Kelly Marie that's because she is in Germany in this interview
Doesn't make sense. She went from British to Icelandic??
HAHAHAHA.. i was just thinking that....
When moving to a new place some people pick up the accent of that place. The accent of Germans is thick so she just picked that. Check her interview with Arvo Part, who is Estonian.
"The air pressure forces the molecules to go tiny!"
HAHA Her English has improved so much since this interview.
She is so adorable. I love her. She is the only visionary artist out there and still delivers magical music. Vulnicura is brilliant.
never say »the ounly« ! // carefool! // sorry! // carefull ! // there is lava underground :) // ænd itt's boiling // ænd spitting faier! // fyah! / fi/re !
Lucas Fester Lucas are you okay?
I seen her first...🥰🥰
he is TRYING to sound clever and cool at the same time but in reality it comes across as stupid.
@@lucaseronerockaare you out of jail yet?
The way he described her as "very magic, something mystical about you" is the perfect way to describe her.
When you speak to languages sometimes one accent comes stronger depending on the day, where youve been, who youve been talking to. It amazes me that people make a big deal out of these things, the lack of common sense and worldliness is astonoshing
Bjork having full artistic control is really key to her career because her stuff is so out there and original and unique and it sounds great and works so well for her I couldn't imagine her singing over standard pop garbage. Instead she writes music utilizing dark minor modes and can sound really jarring and abstract and it fits so well with her voice and lyrics
"""and they drive into the unknown , and they go over glaciers and they might fall into cracks and die..."" XD
YOOOOU!
And afterwards they have good stories to tell.
She‘s just hilarious! 🤣❤️❤️❤️
She is the most beautiful and pure person
Pure? Have you ever heard an Interview of her from 90th? She van speak fliegt english without an accent. I dont know why she is Acting such a strong iceland accent. She is lot but far away from pure. She is affected and fake.
2:33 the way she says four wheel drive is so precious I love her
And the way she says "full artistic control"
"they were busy trying to bring down the government, and its time consuming" oh man i could listen to her all day.
she's so sweet.
I'm sure she can be also not so sweet! She is very very intelligent!
Sven Sorring- what's intelligence have to do with it? She's a performer. Her and her handlers know how to play a crowd.
I love her accent
"The air pressure forces the molecules to go tiny."
I'm not sure if she's sweet and innocent or ironic (and hilarious), but either way, Bjork is the greatest.
I'd say all the above.
@@soaribb32 I mean, she's saying the low air pressure on aircraft bothers her so she avoids it when traveling for performances.
She's both them things!😁
I think she's a top tier troll
I know this interview by heart. my best friend and I recite it every now and then when we're having a laugh.
I'm not surprised. Just watched it three times in a row after seeing it for the first time haha
Here interview with Arvo Part is at times hilarious, especially when she starts talking about "Little Boy and Cricket."
Same
she is hilarious... absolutely confident, so adorable, witty... love her thoroughly
Wow!! You posted this 16 years ago and this is your first reply 😃 I bet you've changed a bit in that time... take it easy now 😉🤙
I love Harald, such a good and relaxed interviewer, who actually listens to his guests answers. Any other German host I can think of just would have screwed a conversation like this. Miss him...
When she speaks she sounds like a little twittering bird.
I love her sense of humor, her art,her style, simply everything about her.
Knowing Bjork is a fan of Einsturzende Neubauten made my day
Vespertine was one of the best albums ever made, and to think how many albums that came after this that were just amazing. Biophilia,Vulnicura, Utopia... Bjork is one of the greatest artists and musician of all time
"The air pressure forces the molecules to go tiny."
Thanks for the science lesson, Bjork.
I love this woman, she's beautiful.
"we dont have thing like golf, and squash and.... stamp collecting" i love her.
How can someone be SO SWEET? *-* ♡♡♡
I like Harold. America needs someone classy like him for television.
tbf Harald has done the most sarcastic shit on tv, but yes he is awesome
"they were busy trying to bring down the government... it's time consuming"
omg she is so cute! i love her
Lol
OMG!
This is the first time I hear Björk in an interview. I have only listened to her music before..
This was soo amazing! She's amazing! I mean she's just so free in her mind! So cool and unique! I was so in to her stories, very good in making things intresting and funny!
I love when her accent is this thick. It's so cute. Her British accent is adorable as well. She is simply stunning!
she is a very sincere and genuine artist and person, and i think she has moved many people forward in a good way
She’s a grown woman so i love when people play along with the silly naïve parts but just remember this woman is a legend and it’s not an accident.
I could watch bjork interviews all day I love her accent and I really love the random stuff she says she is hilarious
I would prefer a train, too....lovely interview,,,she is a gem
here in US they call jeep adventures into the unknown, "boonie crashing"
Bjork is a true artist! She's absolutely beautiful and outstanding!
You posted this 17 years ago!! Wow... Do you still listen to her music?🤔
True story. I lived in Iceland as a child in the early 60's and my father and I collected stamps (by mail). I still have them. Funny to hear her use that hobby as an example.
She is sooo amazing
her thick Icelandic accent sounds absolutely adorable:-)
I don't hear Icelandic people speaking, so when I hear her voice, I immediately think of Hafþór Björnsson! Hahahahaaa! 😆
She is one of the most interesting people in the world. I can't help to love her.
I love how she puts on the Icelandic accent as strong as possible in this. She knows exactly what she is doing. I love it.
She really sounds like she's from Malibu.
She didn't do it in purpose. She spent long time in Iceland before Vespertine came out and didn't speak english anymore for a while. At the time of Post she had a very strong british accent that always come back when she spend few times in UK.
this is a very nice interview, both Bjork as Harald Schmidt are great. Enjoyed it very much !
She's a combination of super cute and really beautiful . her face seems to transform endlessly between these two features
I've loved Bjork since The Sugarcubes, she's hilarious.
The way she made it was so unusual and unique, that I have to believe it was meant to be.
If the time machine becomes real I would definitely come here to see her live , she is being so simple and sarcastic i love her personality ❤
She is adorable.
She's a very witty sharp clever woman and doesn't matter which kind of question they ask for her, she always has smart eloquent thoughtful answer and she can be sarcastic a lot too. Great artist 💜
She was mystical and always will be.
“We drive around in Jeeps. Someone fall in a - how you say - crack - and someone else in a Jeep comes along and pulls them out. It makes for interesting stories”. And some of you think she’s a ditz? That’s comedy gold right there.
I could listen to her speak all day....that accent got me hypnotized lol she is just cuteness overload
God damn she was so cute. I love her eyes, love her accent too
i like her simplicity when she decides to go that way. *sigh* and her gettup is pretty awesome.
The more i watch this, the more im convinced that shes playing a part, maybe even the presenter, or perhaps hes in on it 2. Cos She can speak very well (prob better than me) and wat she says is just so outragoues, i cant imagine Bjork saying it without laughing her ass of as soon as shes off air.
Either way shes hilarious
this interview is a gem so glad you uloaded it
She is so beautiful and cute
Full Artist control❤️That`s where exciting art is coming from!
she really makes me laugh,ive watched few interviews now cant help but love her great personality
What I like about Harald is, that there's never a stupid translator in his interviews.
We need to see more of this wonderful lady.
She intrigues me so much. I would love to talk to her and try to get or understand how she is mentally and spiritually.
Vespertine is full of wonders, what a great album
I had never seen her in a interview talking like that. And i never really noticed how beautiful she is. And she is extremely beautiful!
100% respect for this AMAZING LADY
I love Björk, she's adorable! I did watch "Dancer In The Dark" half an hour ago, and I love all her music! And of course I love her accent, she's so charming, her english is not perfekt, but sounds more sympathetic than for example Harald Schmidt's voice. :D
And I really wanna go to Island!
She is SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! I love her so much. Thank you God for blessing us with her.
What a beautiful human being! Rare gem ❤
Wie schön sie war!
She's so cute. :)
She rescues him and his stupid questions with the information about the train less Iceland
shes out of this world in the most positive way😀
This is gold, what a gem.
"You shouldn't let poets lie to you"
(Björk)
She is so adorable and cute.... I just love her...
"They might just fall into cracks and die..."
I cant count how many time ive watched this interview n i still laugh n keep longing d video
Love her.... went to Iceland a few years ago and... a few vehicles in our caravan got caught in several feet of snow. Our guides didn't freak... at first. However after about 40 minutes of trying to get our off-road vehicles moving again I could see our guides sweating. It was great fun! Love Iceland and its people!
Shallow audience man,
I really don't think she was trying to be funny,
as much as being humble,
these were stories about her home,
they were applauding in laughter.
Kinda cruel I thought.
But she was sweet throughout.
+skinny9283
It's a late night comedy show though, so anything you say will be taken for it's comedic value first.
She is controlling the crowd more than you think. She innocently makes a fool of people there.
she's above…
I feel they wanted to let them finish their thoughts so they could react at an appropriate time, maybe I'm wrong but I've seen it happen a decent amount of times too, I'm glad they were at least respectful
she is so cool!
Never mind her musical talent, her humour and acting are off the charts!
I actually met Mufti from Einstürzende Neubauten in Chicago in 1985. I was working with a friend as a loader for a stage company in Chicago. Very interesting musicians.
She's awesome! :)
She knows that she's being hilarious and I love it. Bjork could have made it as a comedian if she wasn't a singer.
I could listen to her all day.
She is totally and utterly captivating! I've only just cottoned on to Bjork and have quite quickly become obsessed with her. She's so talented it's untrue, she pisses a magical, enchanting, eccentric charisma all over the place, her voice is lovely and she's fucking gorgeous!
you know, there was some other guy obsessed with her. didnt end that well //:
I love her even more after this :3
EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN! YAY! XD
Not only is she beautiful but she is so artistically brilliant Beyond imagination❤
i think i've just discovered a new favorite entertainer- Bjork is intelligent as can be, quite talented, down to earth, and clearly with a keen sense of awareness.
Cute Voice ♥♥♥
So cute.
First Time I see her "life" thanks to YT
She is so incredibly beautiful.
OMG And her strong accent now that is incredible too.
I love her voice so much ❤
The only clothing designer I know Bjork really enjoys is Alexander McQueen. He did all the clothes for "Homogenic" album, he also designed the dresses in the "Pagan Poetry" music video and in the "Alarm Call" music video. She likes many more but I can't remember them right now--try google! I hope I answered your question a bit. Thanks for watching! ^_^
Died 11 February 2010 (aged 40)[1]
Mayfair, London, England
Cause of death Asphyxiation due to suicide by hanging
hm..
I swear she's the cutest person ever! When she starts going on about the jeeps and how they can fall in cracks and die that was the best! I couldn't stop laughing.
Ime from the future yep she is funny!
She has the voice of a goddess.
The automatic captions at the beginning are just insane.
OMG I LOVE HER! I just want to put her in my pocket and listen to her talk.
