Bjork once said in an interview that when she was a kid, she would sing on her way to school to fill the space, because there were not a lot of animals and plants and that the hill was the chorus.
What hill
Bjork has quite an imagination
@@av.5632 the fire hill with the river of fire
Do they have trees?
She did Björk spot on!
"I don't think it's fair to judge all people of Iceland by me." - Björk
We judge iceland by bjork or all the insane powerlifter vikings there.
I only judge Greenland for lying about being green.
@@JacobNorwood1 Climate Changed that.
@@JacobNorwood1 You misunderstand. They're green because they found that money horse that came from the waters off Iceland's coast.
I love Kristin Wiig, but this is a genuinely bad and unfunny impersonation.
HAHAHA i love how she actually sounded like bjork when she sang
no.
Unbelievable the impersonation.
Identical!
@@lamiasaiyara6126 hmmm, kinda yes
Not at all. Practically no intonation, and Bjork’s voice has a crisp tone that sounds warm and nice to it.
Whatever it was, they didn't pay Wiig enough. She's tirelessly great.
I think they should have paid her like millions per sketch
I’m gonna go ahead and say the most talented snl cast member
GOD
Yes. They should have paid her in clouds.
Agreed 100%.
Her impression of Bjork is uncannily accurate when she is speaking, but when she sings as Bjork, she enters the realm of perfection.
Mm. No. Doesnt sound anything like Bjork.
You've never heard bjork.
have you ever heard björk speak 🤨
NO!!! No way. Her Bjork impression is horrible at best. Complete trash. She doesn't look, sound or act like Bjork. This actor could fart on stage and you guys would be like, omg, she's so talented!!
@@minkvelourYES!! yes way! Youre just butthurt björk fans that are mad because they are ridiculing your precious darling prophet or whatever 😂björk sounds exactly this pretentious and ludicrous
Welcome to Iceland / There is no sun light / You are on fire / A demon takes your face / Come to Iceland! / And give us your eyes!
I'm gonna sing that now in my Björk voice.
current national antem? ;)
Oh for a moment I thought it was "give us your ice" e,e
...so you repeated it...be proud of yourself...
@@Rosi_in_space - Woo hoo ha hah ha hah ha. Nothing more hilarious than a country not led by a moron covered in orange spray.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL she did this so well and when she started singing I LOST MY SHIT! LMAO
***** LMAO yes! That's the part I lost my shit over hahahaha
Me too! I was on the toilet watching this and totally lost my shit!!!
I hope you find your shit. I mean, have you looked under the sofa?
I didn't think she would be that good!! sounds just like Bjork!
modarXmodar i am icelantic and it is a bit dramatized with the accent
Júlíus Ólason but thats the point
no she doesn't
that's not the right accent
She is far from Bjork
@@Siggalua97 this is the best björk impression I ever saw
Her singing was so bjork
It's not difficult to sing like that because Björk can't sing.
***** Erm, no, I'm right. She can't sing. That doesn't mean she can't make nice songs.
If by that, you mean "I can't stand her singing", that's fine, that's your opinion.
If you tried to make a factual statement, it's completely false. Check the dictionary definition of "singing" and you'll see.
You might have meant "she has bad technique". She hasn't. As a music teacher I can tell you that's very far from the truth. She has great technique, impressive range, power and pitch control.
Johannes Wiberg Too bad she misses the frequencies.
You're going philosophical here. Yes, everything could be considered music, even thumping a bag of beans without rhythm. We just call it arythmic and atonal and voila, music.
But in reality, no. She can't sing well.
Lajos Winkler What do you mean, "misses the frequencies"? Are you referring to pitch? Let me guess, you're not a very musical person? She's very much on pitch, although some of her melodies are a bit unorthodox. She's excellent live too, almost pitch perfect without any auto-tuning help. BTW I'm a music teacher and a studio musician. But please give me your rebuttal, perhaps link to a clip where she sings off key? Or, as you say, "misses the frequencies"?
That was actually a very impressive impression.
have you ever heard Bjork talk its not even that good an impression, she doesn't even say stuff like that the whole video just makes me cringe a bit
@@seamusclarke1777 "She doesn't even say stuff like that" I mean how would this be funny if they used an actual interview?
Agree. Just like Bjork and really funny.
Point on. Funny is funny.
Um...... sorry, no. Piss poor impression.
This was actually pretty funny.
And I’m a big fan of Bjork.
Also, that instrumental was pretty cool, sounds extremely like something bjork would sing over.
as a Bjork and a Kristen Wiig fan, I love this so much
as and Icelandic person speaking, I've never laughed harder in my life XD I love it when you make fun of Björk, love it
why is there always one
SHE SANG DAT SO GOOD
You are just everywhere i go. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
We meet again, literally everywhere
This sketch is so underrated, her Bjork impressions are hilarious!
Four thousand thumbs up, two hundred thumbs down. Underrated?
@@ixlnxs Two hundred more people who can't take a damn joke.
@@blackmore4 Twenty to one in favor. Not bad.
@@ixlnxs Obviously, Wiig and the sketch are brilliant. My grouchy comment came about from reading the comments of the naysayers. Each and every one of them, a hissy fitting Woke warrior to a man. Or, rather, to a gender fluid helicopter.
@@blackmore4 Ah, yes, the noisy minority. I think they are cute.
Omg kristen wigg is seriously good.
Kristen is fantastic actress
I have the flu and im laughing at 5am more than my body can handle. I lost it when she sang
I can tell a certain sense of admiration Kristen wiig has for bjork in this impersonation and it just makes this impersonation my favorite
I think we should pay for things with clouds!
When she started singing though, almost sounded like a legit Fever Ray song
OMG I'm crying guys, I can't breathe. Her Bjork is fucking spot-on! She's identical to the original.
No, no, clearly not. It's indeed hilarious but you can't say she imitates Björk very well.
No she isn’t, she absolutely sucks
What an underrated skit. So good! Her impression is flawless
Omg, her singing sounds like Bjork lol!
This deserved way more laughs
I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂
This was instantly iconic as soon as I watched it, every line was just better than the last
I keep on repeating the song that she sings and it makes me laugh even harder every time I replay it.
Amy Krust LOL I do the same.... love the song
Cristen Wigg is the total and complete embodiment of Bjork
Minus singing ability.
*Qristen Wiig
As was Alex Bornstein on mad tv
nobody can be a total and complete embodiment of her.. she’s more layered and deep than a lot of people seem to think.
@@Sblatus Chris Ten Wigs
"Widespread recession" led to Iceland jailing its criminal bankers. Elsewhere they prevail. Thumbs up to Iceland, even if their accents are different.
Elsewhere they were financed, by politicians(in order not to bankrupt) from public funds, from national budgets, from taxpayer's money !
Iceland! Where they have the good sense to listen to Bjork & jail criminal bankers!
Kristen is perfect in all that she does. All her impressions are on point.
The singing is probably the most on point impression of Björk I've ever heard lol.
As a Björk stan... this is very amusing 😂
I can only hope that Bjork finds this as entertaining as I do.
I love Bjork and this sketch gave me stitches
I don't understand why people portray her as an airhead just because she is a little eccentric. She doesn't ever talk about silly/childish subjects, but is rather intelligent and talks like anyone else. She's just very imaginative.
Countess Boochie Flagrante Because most people are airheads and lack imagination.
I actually watchzd a video of her and was gobsmacked at how intelligent and well spoken she is, and she is no way this silly or childish just a shy.. I honestly did not think this impression was that good, the voice was quite good bit the constant hands on mouth thing..
Ignorance. No other reason. People don't understand things that are different from what they know. She has always been herself, and she still is.
Björk is one of the most delicate, deep, and smart woman on this planet. No matter how people perceive her
I don't understand why some people seem to be treating this like a documentary, when it's obviously just a comedy skit
@@comanchio1976 What's new. So many people can't take a joke these days.
Love the song! Winona Ryder did a very good impression of Bjork on SNL years ago. I think it was during one of those Jeopardy sketches.
YOU ARE ON FIIIIRREEEE!
oh my god she sounds so much like her
Brilliant, this is exactly how one would imagine America to see Iceland.
fishing, dragons and screaming lol
Kirsten’s Björk voice is so unbelievably good.
I'm a HUGE Björk fan and I found this pretty funny and I'm pretty sure Björk herself would find it funny. Although the accent wasn't that good as everyone is saying it is. I mean come on. Still funny though #longlivebjörk
LadiesLoveRey Let's just hope they don't meet each other at an airport. Airports give Björk the strength of two starpenglorfs and the sight of dan cortez.
righthandofdoom77 i was going to say that, LOL!!!!!
What's even funnier is that your a Björk fan!!
@@RobertoRamirez-zu5fw *you’re
“How is your skeleton?” It’s Itchy.....Genius
Kristen NEVER seizes to amaze us with her impeccable impressions!
“Wow. Can’t believe that backfired” 😂😂😂
"You are on fire...a demon takes your face..."
every tuesday at 4pm like clockwork
😂😂😂@@NevTheDeranged
Actually it turned out that Iceland did incredibly well and totally recovered from the financial crisis, as opposed to all the other countries that bailed out their bankers.
Check the short video(6min): What We Can Learn From Iceland
Isn't that because they basically sold out their natural resources to mining companies?
Dustie1984 Probably that too, yes. I'm not an expert on what happened in Iceland. But what I know is that they did things differently, and it worked.
Dustie1984 We have nothing the mining companies want. No natural recources. But yes, we did well in dealing with the crisis even though some Icelanders would like to think we are still in the shitter.
Aluminium?
We just provide electricity to the big companies that import the sour aluminium.
Never gets old
I'm from Iceland, and you nailed it!
"From Weekend Update, I'm Snarf Myers" hahaha
If Wiig started selling records under Bjork's name, no one would notice it wasn't Bjork.
I am a major fan of BJÖRK since High School and I think this is sooo funny xDDD ... Kristen Wig's brilliant in this!! xDD impressions are the highest form of flattery .. not to b taken seriously ;)))
I am blown away by this impression. She was the embodiment of Bjork.... she even sang like her.
"Come to Isleand" ahahahhaha
She sings "Iceland", actually. Obviously misheard. :)
Iceland Tourism commercials should really use that song!
The B side from Volta sounds pretty good.
Kristen Wiig is unbelievable. hahha. .
This sketch has lived in my brain for years now and I view that as a boon to my existence.
i m bjork superfan since childhood and this song by kristen BLEW MY MIND. so good, hahah. they really catched the essence
This just doesn't get old.
Wow perfect impression of my favorite singer
She had my in tears 😂😂😂
Wow when she started singing I really thought it was Bjork, that was a great impression and a difficult one to do. What a talent.
The greatest video I've ever seen is Bjork taking apart a TV. Watch it.
"Come to Iceland, and give us your Eyes" :D haha
Kristen Wiig... comedic genius. I love Iceland! For real... beautiful people, mystical land.
Absolutely one of my favorite impressions.
She killed it.. the song & her voice crescendo
he just said "I'm snarf Meyers" XDD
I’m gonna go listen to my Bjork playlist now
She impersonates Bjork so well!!!!
the second the instrumental started playing i was crying omfg
Yet Another Epic Performance by The Great Wiig! Nobody tops her vocal abilities on SNL… no one… not even close! 😂
“She’s Simply The Best”
Much respect from Alaska!
I sang the Iceland song when I went in 2018.
im dying at that song, she nails that accent so well x'DDD
Thank you for my new ringtone!
Lmao the music had me!
Come to Iceland and give us your Eyes. !!
Having lived in Reykjavik and spent so much time with the locals. I truly believe they would fucking crack up at that. I mean no one takes America seriously.
I'm living for this ❤❤❤
that was the best song ive ever heard in my life
Oh, Snarf.
spot on!
Kristen is so talented
I love Bjork!
And this was hilarious 😂
Oh mi goodness! Spot on!🤣🤣🤣
Wiig is soooo funny! omg
the way i need that song to be released
God she's amazing... She can master any accent out there...!
She's totally sold me on Iceland.
This is amazing
Snarff Meyers
That was a way better impression than I was expecting, tbh.
Also, I LOVE Bjork. Hyperballed is my favorite
She did that pretty good, especially the singing.
loved the apple pie chart :D
Seth said "so tell us bee yerk" 😅
best snl episode ever
In some interviews Bjork speaks almost with a British accent, but then the video where shes talking about the inside of the TV looking like a city, she sounds more close to Wigg's impression of her.... Wiigs singing impression is pretty spot on though.
Her speech is björk, her song was a dead ass perfect impression of fever ray
Spot on 😂😂
Best Bjork i've seen!!!
