I do love our Björk. Then and NOW 💙There is nobody and nothing much alike to to her and hers. She's a one of a kind (blnkblnk)
Listening to Bjork is like listening to a kid giving a book report without reading the book. Her pauses are adorable and her pronunciation is super cute.
The very fact that so many see the beauty in Bjork gives me hope that the world might not be as bad as we imagine. Her cuteness mixed with her intelligence drives me bonkers, too much for just one woman.
interesting how her accent changed over time. She keeps switching between nearly an intelligible Icelandic accent and perfectly native sounding English. Every time she hits an R she can't help but roll it and then the whole thing slips back
The face, the voice, the expressions, the hair, the intonation of her words.........................is there anyone, or thing more adorable on this planet than Bjork? I think not. God bless you dear lady.
@@markr8690 Oh, I loved it! I gotta admit I did stalk some of the places I knew Björk had played in or shot videos at, it was great. Can't believe it was 7 years ago. I've been to over 50 countries since then and Iceland surely remains in my top 10. Amazing!
I am 56 years old, I live in the United States I was born here, I enjoy many types of music, my main music is heavy metal, all types of metal hard rock, so this type of music of Bjork, isn’t really my thing, I always enjoyed most of her music, she’s an old soul, smart, creative all around great singer, let’s say the one person that could, and does sway me in another direction musically, she has always fascinated me listening to her talk, it’s as if I have known her my whole life, I am of Norwegian decent, Scandinavia,when in fact we have never met, it’s strange, she is a very very deep person, intelligent to say the least, very cool video thanks for sharing
I was saddened to read Icelanders in comments to other videos saying that the Icelandic people don't like Bjork. What? She's their national treasure! How can they not like her?
it might have something to do with the fact that so much of her work is in English. Iceland very much has a problem in regards to not enough media being produced in Icelandic, since many Icelanders choose to produce things in English to reach a wider audience. as a result, Icelandic is going under a thing called «digital extinction», since not enough stuff is being made in Icelandic to maintain the language into the future. this is just a hunch of course, but in Nynorsk (and Norwegian in general) we have the same problem; because everyone just chooses to write and sing in English, we have less and less content being produced to serve our needs, which has made some people (including myself) resentful of Norwegians who produce in English when what we really need is more Norwegian content...
@@Egoblivion Oh my God. Is that real? Like actually true? I Iiterally always thought they were singing in Icelandic. Are the Album title and song titles even in Icelandic?
Her accent sounds like someone from London, who moved to Wales when they were a teenager doing a bad Bjork impersonation! 🤔 It really is wonderful... She is a musical lighthouse in a grey sea of bland. 🌞🏆
for someone who is wildly successful with multi million dollars net worth, her home seems kind of modest --- not full of luxury feeling that you see typical from celebrity home. i mean this in a positive way ---
För mej är du en underbar kvinna som bidrar till det goda i vår värld. Sen också så underbart härligt nybrytande music, som lärt mej mycket, med en viss fördröjning, därför att jag måste lära mej och lära att tycka om
Songs from Homogenic, this means that at that moment Björk was 32 y.o., looking 16. Or maybe it's 1993 and the ones who added these songs, did it some years later.
I love the Icelandic accent (along with Scandinavian languages as well). But honest question...why is it that they pronounce their “S” sounds with a slight “H” sound? Is the Icelandic “S” sound like that rather than the more sibilant “S” sound in English? Also, I love they rolls their “R” sound. Also also, she’s so adorable!
It's a very unique, lovely accent. Nordic and Scandinavian people have very lovely accents when speaking English and as you've probably noticed they don't have strong depth to the pronunciations. They are mild yet distinguishable and it's not uncommon for them to be mislabeled as British, Australian, or Gaelic to people with less familiarity because they often use similar references within sentence structures.
Icelandic like a lot of languages that do not have a distinction between 's' and 'sh' has so called 'retracted s' which is consonant with tongue position between 's' and 'sh'
Can you tell most of the music has been cut out for copyright reasons? 'Here is a room where unlike the rest of the Earth there is no gravity and its nice because I have always thought a table should not stay on the ground if you can help it, you know?

I totally hear what people were saying about her accent turning slightly British
Cockney, not British.
cockney's an accent which has a lot of slang attributed to it too (as you said, it's still british either way - which is a vaguer way to put it)
English*
British is easier for non English speakers than American when it comes to an accent.
Nlop I would say American is an easier accent to adopt, yet Scandinavians are good at adopting the British accent. The British accent is hard to adopt
Her cuteness would eventually drive you insane.
Ricardo Lopez OOF
Already been done. Lol
And her intelligence would become overwhelming, yet so attractive at the same time.
