she was my youth diva. One has to know how original, cool, ironic , clever, great punk/rock/opera artist she was to truly appreciate her. Even looking wild, scary & crasy her soft side reveals a caring, humanistic person. This combination is amazing.
Nina Hagen is the ONLY artist I ever wrote a fan letter to...right after Kosma Shiva was born. I sealed it with sealing wax. Nina Hagen is 11 days older than I am. We're both 68. ❤️🔥👍 I got to catch her live at a Chicago venue close to Wrigley Field in 2006. Her finale was "Ave Maria". Her performance was so moving I was choked and in tears. ❤️🔥
What I love about Nina Hagen is that she does exactly what she wants to do and don't give a crap what other people might think. A true difference in between artists and Artists is that Artists make it look appealing to the audience no matter how odd and strange their art was. Professionally.
Truly an ORIGINAL!!! Uninhibited! What you get is what you see. I absolutely love how she did this song!!! And as far as this arrangement goes. It's probably the best I've heard to date of this classic song! Bravo to the arranger!!! 5 stars out of 5.
@@joez5366 What? My profile photo is old.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ So don't tell me how old I am. Why would I put my age up. Seriously? 🤦♀️ Thanks for the complement though😅😅
@@clayrravenofficial.715 You slay me! I don't know why you put your age up in the comment above. I'd edit it out if it wasn't intentional, but why? You're gorgeous and it truly does not matter. Thank you for taking the time to reply, it is appreciated very much.
I'm 11 days younger than Nina Hagen. I accidentally discovered Nina in 1979 at Kapers Korners Records just before attending a Pretenders/English Beat ❤ Concert in KCMo. After the concert I drove 130 miles to my home and by 2 am I was playing the entire Unbehagen Album at full volume! Life has never been the same! ❤️🔥👍 (Unbehagen means "ill at ease") ❤🔥
Ticci Toby, Nina's voice has been my best friend in dire teenage years... lol...I grew up with her in Germany... I think I was 12/13 when Unbeschreiblich Weiblich came out! How long have you been listening to Nina, and what caught your interest?
Ticci Toby I can retrace Your feelings. Nina is a superb singer and she's a bit weird what I really appreciate very much. On another occasion I told that I would like to stay with her for a night, no strings attached, just to have the opportunity to get to know her. I guess I would be satisfied with that she has has great empathy. She's like a mother.
Whoever envisioned pairing Nina with this symphony to perform Somewhere Over the Rainbow was a freaking genius. Was it Nina's idea? It certainly introduced her to a broader audience. I have loved her for decades (since late 70's) and seen her perform live twice. She taught me to not fear my voice, to play with it full throttle and she influenced my new wave/punk style in the 80s'. I have every album and know all the words, even German. She still enriches my life to this day. She has also always had the most kick-ass bands. Thank you for sharing this video 💙💜
I think this is one of the most fascinating performances ever recorded! I can't get off my eyes off Mrs. Hagen. She is a beautiful and attractive woman, with mesmerizing voice, intelligence and sense of humor that I don't believe I've ever seen in one person before!
If Judy had been a punk, she and Nina would have ruled the music world!! Nina blows this classic standard out of the park. And her punk ballerina princess dance is wonderful to watch. Love you Nina!!
Her album NunSexMonkRock is a work of genius, and I don't say that lightly. I've loved most of her work since I heard her in 1977. I say "most" because any avant garde artist is not always going to produce gems.
Beavis and butthead introduced me to this woman. I have to say she is one of a kind and I love that in an artist. I have watched a few of her vids and not all the music I'm that crazy about but the fact that she goes from punk to opera to reggae iand funk influences is intriguing and her style is quite original, not to mention her eyes are breathtaking!
@Gio Marrocco yeah sure, it wasnt meant in a negative way, what I meant is that her crazyness, meaning her artistic persona, outfit and demeanour on stage do not outshine her raw vocal talent. Of course I don’t know her personally and even if I did I would never judge anybody for being different :)
Gio Marrocco nah. It’s the eyes. Those are some crazy, CRAZY eyes. You can’t fake that shit. I know she’s a truly kind person and a phenomenal talent but she’s nuttier than squirrel poop.
In the 90's in SF, I got to see her perform live and it's one of my favorite memories. In the VIP room, I was shirtless wearing Gaultier, while signing my back with a sharpie, she was interrupted and told her team that she she wasn't finished. GOOD TIMES!
Inimitable and sublime! There is no such thing as too much Nina Hagen! There is little found in life that one can still love as though it were new after thirty years, but Nina Hagen's work is on a dwindling list of such for me...
LOvE Nina Hagen in many levels... her performance, her attitude, her voice her choices and the way she reminds me that life is fun! that the extraordinary exist in those that recognize it!
Whoa. Today is the first time I've heard of Hagen and watched her videos. I have an aunt who acts like this all of the time and looks like the 20 years older version.
OOOOH , wie schade das ich erst jetzt erst sehe und höre... mir fehlen die Worte ....weil das ist nicht zu beschreiben was ich da höre ....mit einem Orchester ( Bigband) das Hummeln im Arsch hat .... love it ..... und ein langes Leben für Euch alle .....
Entrancing. Its like Judy had another punk daughter. Iove classic punk because it was so creative and un self- conscious. and unafraid of labels or what people thought. just pure art and entertainment.
She's just Soo true to herself and that's what I adore about her - she's a free soul and it's wonderful for me to witness. I found some other kick ass songs by her and she has a heart that cares about real things. She's just out there on her own doing her thing and I luv her for it. I think she's fabulous 🌹
It's mentioned in Wiki so it must be true 😇"Hagen enrolled in the vocal training performance program at The Central Studio for Light Music in East Berlin (de). "
The tragic thing here is that most people just don't, won't or can't get what an amazing talent she is. She should be revered; one of the true greats.
ppl are deaf blind angels see hear nina
She is one of the true greats. If people don't recognise it, it's their loss.
truer words never spoken.
I revere her.
The true humanity knows there's angels. Judy and Nina.🥰
75% tribute, 25% satire, 100% originality and talent.
Her dynamics are fucking amazing.
She can shift her voice to virtually any timbre. It's wondrous to behold.
I know! I wish I could sing like her.
When I got to meet her, I told her she was the 8th Wonder of the World!
She has a whole opera studying or how ever
Her vocal range is enormous and her originality is endless!
Nina Hagen covers 6 Octaves ❤🔥.....Lene Lovitch, Whitney, JLo, Cindy Lauper and Axl Rose cover 5 Octaves......Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Arianna Grande, Tina Turner, Aretha, Freddie Mercury and Celine Dion cover 4 Octaves. 3 Octaves = Janis Joplin, Miley, Gaga, RiRi and Bork
This woman taught me to sing and is the most incredible, crazy, beautiful creature imaginable.
"Brilliant performance Frau Hagen, but, uh, we said it was 'black tie formal.'"
"What are you talking about? This is my most dignified tutu."
she was my youth diva. One has to know how original, cool, ironic , clever, great punk/rock/opera artist she was to truly appreciate her. Even looking wild, scary & crasy her soft side reveals a caring, humanistic person. This combination is amazing.

She is just a comic genius, and I have loved her since the 1970s. The authentic punk princess!
Still 2021 and no one can get closer of this genius and talent. Goddess!
True, best female voice ever.
I really love her attitude :D She is so not boring..
She does camp so well :)
That must be the understatement of the century :)
ENTP hehehe
@@KeesKouwenberg haha yes "not boring" she is the most entertaining you can get with JUST artistic beauty
That's what is called a rebellious opera singer , she could have been one of the best if she'd gone that route .
sputnic i think being herself without anybody telling her what to sing and what to wear is way more worth to her
And she did much more with that voice than any opera ever has
@@raffaelw.2767
I beleive you really mean to say "More than any Opera singer"
@@bobdownes162 yes that's what I meant 😅
shut up.. she is the best just for being her
She has one of the most amazing voices - and she knows how to work it... strong singer

i found her when i was watching Klaus Nomi, and i saw a thumbnail with freaky looking face singing woman, and i clicked it
Same
same..
Me tooooooooooo!!!!!
Me too🥺
strong voice voice; lots of range. unique
Ryan Johnson so bad she didn‘t use her voice - her real voice - very often. She‘s a very good singee!
I love the way she sings Over the Rainbow her voice is so unique
I love Nina. I saw her numerous times when I lived in Los Angeles back in the 1980s. Sweet and talented person.
I didn't think that it was possible to fall in love with someone's voice... Nina Hagen proved me wrong.
Ticci Toby, Nina's voice has been my best friend in dire teenage years... lol...I grew up with her in Germany... I think I was 12/13 when Unbeschreiblich Weiblich came out! How long have you been listening to Nina, and what caught your interest?

I've been in love with this woman since I saw a photo of her in Creem magazine in 1977. Amazing voice, amazing attitude.
Me too, but Nina was really an opera singer.Oh and i have gotten rid of that love.
She had o voice, but used that to make ridiculous presentetations.

Glauben Sie mir in Deutschland wird Sie geliebt und verehrt ❤ich liebe Sie auch und Bewunderer Sie .❤

its interesting to see that the awesome nina hagen is still confusing and pissing off people to this day.
The original Crazy Eyes.
This put a big smile on my face. Love Nina. She is amazing.
I heard my vocal teacher say that this is "Judy Garland's song" after watching this, I'm starting to reconsider that statement.
Her ability is off the scale. Her creativity is unsurpassed.
I'm in love with this singer. She's fabulous.
I have watched this more than 100 times and it STILL gives me chills. She is amazing.
If Judy had been a punk, she and Nina would have ruled the music world!! Nina blows this classic standard out of the park. And her punk ballerina princess dance is wonderful to watch. Love you Nina!!
OMG. I effn love her. And I love her version of this classic. You ROCK Nina.
Besides sick humour, there's this unique voice full of soul.
Love me some Nina. Saw her perform at Berlin in NYC and many other Punk and New Wave Dives. Oh, those were the days
Jesus Christ she could make the alphabet sound creepy
It was amazing though
you should hear her sing all the stars in the sky
Try listening to born in xixax, then you can see her sing naturträne live lol
Her album NunSexMonkRock is a work of genius, and I don't say that lightly. I've loved most of her work since I heard her in 1977. I say "most" because any avant garde artist is not always going to produce gems.
i like how she really over emphasizes every lyric and note lol
She's an extraordinary talent...true magic!
She is truly an artist and completely out of her mind, I love it!!!
Beavis and butthead introduced me to this woman. I have to say she is one of a kind and I love that in an artist.

She's brilliant. I've loved her since I first heard her sing "Universal Radio" back in the 80's.
Ich hab kein Faible für Opern, aber mit Nina sing ich mit... Klasse !! :)
She's very expressive! So the song greatly delivered to the audience with the meaning of the song Too ! Greatly Ms.Nina Hagen
Unique voice and personnality so special and wonderful Thanks Life !!
I would LOVE to see her perform live again. My only blessing was in August 1995 in Washington, DC. She is fantastic!
She's fucking crazy but amazing
She is not crazy, she is unik, remember she is and will aways be a punk.
*unique
@@omarsig9814 crazily unique 🙃

Nina is GREAT!!! I just discovered her last night, and everything I've seen is just fabulous! Keep it coming, Nina!!! :D
🌸 She is the german voice of Yubaba in Spirited Away 🌸
Always knew she had a great voice; great to hear it again.
2023 and still one of my favorite performances. Voice shifting at its best!
The fact that she can even sing opera makes her more of a musical talent than 90% of the female singers out there today.
Oh! I just love this song!!! It's so beautiful!!!
Nina you are the best!
Nina is gorgeous. This song makes me want a punk/cabaret version of the Wizard of Oz with Nina as Glinda, or any witch
In the 90's in SF, I got to see her perform live and it's one of my favorite memories. In the VIP room, I was shirtless wearing Gaultier, while signing my back with a sharpie, she was interrupted and told her team that she she wasn't finished. GOOD TIMES!
SHE FUCKING KILLED THIS!!!!
Years before Gaga. This woman is totally awesome.
The difference is Nina can sing.

I love her voice, hair, shoes, clothes.. I just love NINA!
LOVE it at the end when she briefly channels 'Elvira' then 'The Cowardly Lion' ...
LOvE Nina Hagen in many levels... her performance, her attitude, her voice her choices and the way she reminds me that life is fun! that the extraordinary exist in those that recognize it!
Great voice
GREAT SINGER,GREAT VOICE".Unbeschreiblich Weiblich".
One of the most amazing performers ever. She is 100% talent.
Masterpiece. Unique. Unrivaled.
Just keep your eyes close and listen to her voice!
UN PERSONNAGE ET UNE VOIX UNIQUE !!! J ' ADORE !!! 💓💓
Salute UA-cam videos great memories! Nelson1963 great best wishes ALL TAKE CARE
Whoa. Today is the first time I've heard of Hagen and watched her videos. I have an aunt who acts like this all of the time and looks like the 20 years older version.
Wow fucking wow!!!!!!
Nina is amazing, what a unique piece of art, and she can really sing, but i love her just the way she is!

Yes Diamanda galas😃she was a colourato.
WOW 😮 I knew she has a good voice. I never knew she had amazing voice 🤩🫶😍
She's crazy good, I love her
I love this cover.Well done,Nina Hagen!;0)
we can't deny that imagination is real. Nina is a living proof of it
Fantastic voice, classically trained I heard.
If it's true, then I'm glad she slung most of its rules, "Out of the window".
I've heard it's a rumour. She has never been classicaly trained.
It's mentioned in Wiki so it must be true 😇"Hagen enrolled in the vocal training performance program at The Central Studio for Light Music in East Berlin (de). "
Nina is so over the top. I absolutely adore her voice!!
Нина бесспорно уникальный бриллиант корый не перестает восхищать и радовать
She made this so beautiful.
Simply amazing...She Hypnotises...
Wonderful!
incredible looks incredible voice
Her voice is so unique
Danke für den Song ❤ich ❤❤😂😂😂Danke
Nunca me cansare de escucharte Nina♥
Me encantaría otra entrega de Jocker con Nina Hagen como la mamá de Harley Quinn. Esta mujer es lo más.
Her gestures reminds me Wario expressions a lot. It is very funny.
Simply Nina - she could do anything, just name it, she did!!!
Nina & leibzig bigband explosion 2004 in bremen, is scho lange her ....aber nie vergessen.
Nina my diva :) grandios!!!!!!!
Absolutely love Nina's voice.
Probably the only video on youtube with no dislikes. speaks volumes.
Magnifique version ❤
