I am not the biggest fan of her music, but this performance (and some others here on YT) prove her to be one of the most amazing singers there are. Such artists are a rarity. She's really a marvel.
amazing, she can sing crystal clear and she can sing raw aswell. I just discovered this lady tonight, but i'm sure gonna look more up about her in the next few days. I think I'm in love already!
You know they say never judge a book by its cover. When I looked at the singer I didnt think it was going to be good BUT it is fantasic for real I love this verion of this song.
@resarie85 she can absolutly sing.... she's was supposed to be a opera-singer... but well, I guess she had other plans ;D But she has such an unbelievable voice... just great... she's completly crazy, but great!
wow. Surprised to see how few people know who Nina Hagen is. She was most definitely the godmother of punk. She is also a classically trained opera singer. Check out "I was Born in Xixax" by Nina. You'll see.
One of the most impressive things here is that as a native German speaker she can flawlessly sing a song in English in a specific accent while channeling a specific character to the point that if anyone saw this without that context they'd assume she's actually a native English speaking woman from New York
I know how you feel, I've always felt that she didn't get the exposure she deserved here in North America...or didn't manage to make the most of what she did get. There is more to life than work and money and fame though. I just selfishly want more of Nina that's all
Nina est Nina! Elle ne peut être comparé à aucunne autre car elle à toujours fait ce que son coeur lui dicte elle ne soumet pas au succès à tout prix. (Nina is Nina! She can't by compare to another one because she alwayss do what her heart need and not for the succès absolutely)! (sorry for the translation of my thinking)!
She does a great job. Nina is a great singer (although some people maybe don't see it when they listen to songs like Smack Jack ^^), but I think my father will faint if he listens to that song. He loves Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
1. Her LOOK (Face) Immedidatly recocnized 2. Her STYLE 3. Her voice (point 1.) 4. No Song is the same, because she sings it different. When she sings this song, she will do it never do it exactly again
Nina Stougaard The actual lyrics is "Hates California". Nina says that in the next verse. Perhaps is some kind of personal humor or something and for that she change the lyrics.
@1stknowme : well, sadly, the fact is : she definitely can sing. It has nothing to do with an opinion. (Moreover, she most certainly can sing for her life, since it's what she has done for many, many years.) Saying "she can't sing is not an opinion. An opinion is "I don't like the way she sings. It seems awful to me, but it must be because Justin Bieber music has melted the neurons of taste in my brain"
I am not the biggest fan of her music, but this performance (and some others here on YT) prove her to be one of the most amazing singers there are. Such artists are a rarity. She's really a marvel.
I love her expressions and she knows how to put on a show. I adore her.
NO computers involved! As a punk/blues/hard rock/jazz/beat music/heavy metal fan I love this!
for those who don't know, it's called CHARACTER. some people actually have it
amazing, she can sing crystal clear and she can sing raw aswell. I just discovered this lady tonight, but i'm sure gonna look more up about her in the next few days. I think I'm in love already!
it's eleven years now. How much of her you did discover?
She's an AMAZING singer. Such fantastic talent.
This woman is a wonder. She seems to be able to handle all musical genres with such ease. This makes me want to hear her sing "Goldfinger", too.
nina,best german artist ever ! Love her!!!
Nina is perfect !
And the makeup is BEAUTIFUL !!!
she kicks ass... I cant get enough of this song
You know they say never judge a book by its cover. When I looked at the singer I didnt think it was going to be good BUT it is fantasic for real I love this verion of this song.
Amazing voice.

Awesome!! She did a great job on this-made it her own.
@TheWheelman1970 Nina started out as a classical singer; not to mention her back catalogue is highly diverse. So multitalented, check.
"...in the wintertime..." LOL! I love Nina!

PS: Her operatic voice is one of her greatest assets.
punk and jazz, only she can pull that, nina rules!
Man muß diese Frau einfach lieben !!
this is genius! right up there with Sid's "my way".
@JaUhdeEsparta Couldn't agree more with you. Nina will forever be my favorite!
she´s really amazing and talentous
Great song , great band, great Nina!
I know how you feel, I've always felt that she didn't get the exposure she deserved here in North America...or didn't manage to make the most of what she did get. There is more to life than work and money and fame though. I just selfishly want more of Nina that's all
Now that hit me like a fucking truck. She is a great talent :) The band was pretty sweet, too.

(Nina is Nina! She can't by compare to another one because she alwayss do what her heart need and not for the succès absolutely)! (sorry for the translation of my thinking)!
I liked her performance...of course she changed the essence of this song completely,but even so...it is really awesome !
"That's why the lady is a punk! ...tramp. Same same." Haha. She's swell.
Fantastic
i love you nina you so much for all.
She does a great job. Nina is a great singer (although some people maybe don't see it when they listen to songs like Smack Jack ^^), but I think my father will faint if he listens to that song. He loves Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
ich verstehe...ein bißchen gaga der Mensch...Nina liebt Dich trotz allem...

@Vimerola7 When you get up on stage, you can judge.
