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. ❤️🔥
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.
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.
@@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") ❤🔥
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!
My dream "Wizard of Oz" musical cast for the '80s: Nina Hagen- Dorothy Klaus Nomi- Scarecrow David Bowie- Tin Man Iggy Pop- Cowardly Lion Souxsie Sioux- Wicked 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!
WOW !!!! Nina Hagen...Love her so much.Alot of people thought she was weird..Just her self...brilliant.. What a beautiful voice..My german sister..Love you ALWAYS.❤
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.
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.
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!!
I would like to apologize to Nina Hagen for never having heard her wonderful performing before. I feel like American music is so one-sided; we don’t hear things from Eurovision or even top of the pops, YT makes it easier to hear, but you have to look for it; this is the first time the algorithm has presented me with her work. Btw, I’m gen X, so it’s just sad that I missed out on her music growing up. 🇺🇸 has good music, but without a complete WORLD view of music, we are uneducated. 😕
But you *have* found her and that's all that matters. Now you have Nina's expansive 50-year career to explore! Go forth and enjoy the Mother of Punk, fellow X'er. 🤘😄
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!
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!
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...
Fantastic! Nina is the only idol I ever had that covers ALL music I like (except for Greek ans she is very much excused). 💖 Thank you Nina for all you give me!
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 .....
So happy this popped up in my feed in 2024🙂 If you liked this, check out Nina doing a Rammstein cover with Apocalyptica. The song title is "Seemann". Or if you want to see the range she had, check out Nina Hagen - Naturträne (Rockpalast). Hard to believe that it's live, but it really is.
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?
Un chamallow, une fleur sucrée en barbe à papa au milieux de ces pingouins sympathiques. Complètement folle mais la belle sait chanter. Belle vidéo, merci
@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.
Only recently discovered Nina. Too much for the conservative lot. I'm 66 years young and only wish I had of discovered her way back in the eighties ... She is a HUGE Talent !
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 🌹
they talked allot about Einstürzende Neubauten Kraftwerk and Rammstein allot and i always think of Nina Hagen; beautiful voice, body, and mind all in one.
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.
75% tribute, 25% satire, 100% originality and talent.
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
truer words never spoken.
I revere her.
The true humanity knows there's angels. Judy and Nina.🥰
❤
This woman taught me to sing and is the most incredible, crazy, beautiful creature imaginable.
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.
Wie? War?..... Nina lebt Gott sei Dank, sie ist wirklich eine gsnze große.....
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

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. ❤️🔥
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.
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.
"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 has one of the most amazing voices - and she knows how to work it... strong singer
I really love her attitude :D She is so not boring..
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
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.
I love Nina. I saw her numerous times when I lived in Los Angeles back in the 1980s. Sweet and talented person.
I'm 57 years old. I have loved Nina since I was a teenager. 💞💞💞
Nonsense Alana, you don't look a day over 35! It is clear now that I have Loved 💝💝 you since I was a teenager! You can stop looking.

RUN RABBIT RUN !
I love the way she sings Over the Rainbow her voice is so unique

Glauben Sie mir in Deutschland wird Sie geliebt und verehrt ❤ich liebe Sie auch und Bewunderer Sie .❤
She was singing "the classics" in a punk style since before she adopted the punk clothing.
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!
My dream "Wizard of Oz" musical cast for the '80s:
Nina Hagen- Dorothy
Klaus Nomi- Scarecrow
David Bowie- Tin Man
Iggy Pop- Cowardly Lion
Souxsie Sioux- Wicked Witch

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
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!
WOW !!!! Nina Hagen...Love her so much.Alot of people thought she was weird..Just her self...brilliant.. What a beautiful voice..My german sister..Love you ALWAYS.❤
This put a big smile on my face. Love Nina. She is amazing.
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?
me too. in France as to me 54400

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.
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 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🥺
Love me some Nina. Saw her perform at Berlin in NYC and many other Punk and New Wave Dives. Oh, those were the days
I'm in love with this singer. She's fabulous.
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.
I have watched this more than 100 times and it STILL gives me chills. She is amazing.
its interesting to see that the awesome nina hagen is still confusing and pissing off people to this day.
OI !
I heard my vocal teacher say that this is "Judy Garland's song" after watching this, I'm starting to reconsider that statement.
She's brilliant. I've loved her since I first heard her sing "Universal Radio" back in the 80's.
Unique voice and personnality so special and wonderful Thanks Life !!
The original Crazy Eyes.
Ich hab kein Faible für Opern, aber mit Nina sing ich mit... Klasse !! :)
I would LOVE to see her perform live again. My only blessing was in August 1995 in Washington, DC. She is fantastic!
I would like to apologize to Nina Hagen for never having heard her wonderful performing before.

nina is totally, originally, completely, extraordinarily,fantastically, unique.
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. 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!
Besides sick humour, there's this unique voice full of soul.
She's an extraordinary talent...true magic!
She's very expressive! So the song greatly delivered to the audience with the meaning of the song Too ! Greatly Ms.Nina Hagen
She's a grunting, squealing steamengine saxophone and I love her.
The fact that she can even sing opera makes her more of a musical talent than 90% of the female singers out there today.
Nina is GREAT!!! I just discovered her last night, and everything I've seen is just fabulous! Keep it coming, Nina!!! :D
2023 and still one of my favorite performances. Voice shifting at its best!
🌸 She is the german voice of Yubaba in Spirited Away 🌸
GREAT SINGER,GREAT VOICE".Unbeschreiblich Weiblich".
WOW 😮 I knew she has a good voice. I never knew she had amazing voice 🤩🫶😍
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!
Nina is gorgeous. This song makes me want a punk/cabaret version of the Wizard of Oz with Nina as Glinda, or any witch
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...
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
Always knew she had a great voice; great to hear it again.
Fantastic! Nina is the only idol I ever had that covers ALL music I like (except for Greek ans she is very much excused). 💖 Thank you Nina for all you give me!
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 .....
More talented than anyone should be- she’s unbelievable and iconic
Oh! I just love this song!!! It's so beautiful!!!

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
One of the most amazing performers ever. She is 100% talent.
Un chamallow, une fleur sucrée en barbe à papa au milieux de ces pingouins sympathiques. Complètement folle mais la belle sait chanter. Belle vidéo, merci

Great voice
Bravo & Merci pour cette brillante interprétation sous un Arc en Ciel musical 🌈
they talked allot about Einstürzende Neubauten Kraftwerk and Rammstein allot and i always think of Nina Hagen; beautiful voice, body, and mind all in one.
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.
Lindíssima a Nina e a voz!!😊😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
Divina, meravigliosa, stupenda, unica, bellissima, grandissima artista e voce straordinaria!!
Nina is so over the top. I absolutely adore her voice!!
Nina Hagen ist einfach genial! Ich mag ihren unangepassten Stil, ihren eigenen Kopf und ihre Stimme ist einfach unglaublich!
She made this so beautiful.
Crap. I fugged up skippin over this human..
Whot-a-talent!! d:^)
Nina: Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Klaus: Ding Dong
Нина бесспорно уникальный бриллиант корый не перестает восхищать и радовать
Me encantaría otra entrega de Jocker con Nina Hagen como la mamá de Harley Quinn. Esta mujer es lo más.
Nina Hagen, Helge Schneider und Band, das wäre die Krone des musikalisch-künstlerischen Absoluten:)
