Gorgeous to look at. Radiantly uplifting personality. An accent I could listen to all day. Ridiculously cool sense of style and fashion. Stunningly brilliant musical and artistic mind. 1990's Bjork was one of the most cool and appealing women of my generation.
From the first time I heard the song “Birthday” from the Sugarcubes back in the 80’s, I immediately fell in love with Björk. Her singing voice is so special, and unique from any other singer I’ve ever heard. Just love her!
One of the most imitated and influential singers of all time. I hear kids singing now in that voice and they have no idea that they're singing in Bjork's style even. It just became a thing all of its own, but there's nobody like her.
What a wonderful and beautiful interview. He was respectful and she was so laidback and as someone else said, it was just such a natural conversation and a sharp contrast to how many in the media have unfortunately treated Bjork over the past few decades.
My brother was absolutely enamored with her in the 90s and got me into her music and I am forever grateful to him. She is such a beautiful person inside and out and her music is just wonderful. Her voice is unmatched and her quirkiness is about as adorable as it gets ❤
*Two absolute legends. Bjork with a ginormous and creative career ahead of her (and behind her) and Conan showing what an outstanding interviewer he is.*
If she wasn't elevated to the diva/icon level she is at now, she'd probably do the podcast. But I think it's too goofy for her. Like you're not going to see Madonna, Mariah Carey, or Beyoncé on there.
@@rumo510 I don't know. She loves Conan. She has been on his shows several times over the years, more so than on most shows. She was on Late Night in 1994, 1995, 1997, and on The Tonight Show with Conan in 2009. I think they're friends, so she might agree to visit him on the podcast, whether in person or by video.
Imagine being a young dude, and meeting a girl this ridiculously pretty and charming and endearing who liked you, and thinking "Wow, I'm so lucky!". And then discovering she's also one of the most gifted musical and artistic minds of her generation. 1990's Bjork was one of the most appealing females on planet earth.
There's a reason I love Conan so much, dude knows when to tone it down instead of being loud like other night hosts. Even more recently you can see it in his travel show that was on Netflix.
It's pathetic that you felt compelled to qualify your compliment of her looks as not being "creepy". For Pete's sake, just pay her the compliment, you don't have to say you don't want it to come off as creepy. Saying you don't want it to come off as creepy is creepy. smfh
@@lanodramallama not most of the Swedes I've known, or Norwegians. Also if you look at well known Swedes - Rebecca Ferguson, Alicia Vikander, the singer from The Cardigans, all a pretty strong southern English accent (not "British" btw that's the vaguest thing you could say)
@@TheStuport indeed! He loves her! And they have been friends ever since. She appeared on his show multiple times, and that was rare for Bjork as she didn't love doing press tours.

Back in the early 90s when she worked with 808 State I was lucky enough to see her perform with them. That was a treat because I didn't expect her to come to So. Cal with 808. She wasnt advertised if I remember right.

1993 ... LEON had just been released on Laserdisc. Always reminds me of Bjork, that scene with her song as Leon and Matlida establish their daily routines together. Her music fit perfectly.
@@ObscuredReverie Well she seemed super talented. The complete package, akin to Jodie Foster (precocious, studious, highly intelligent, great looking etc), who also found fame early. She's probably have been alright, one way or the other. Though surely, Leon was the perfect springboard into stardom for her.
@@TheVanillatech I agree, but sometimes it’s those little “breaks” that springboard you further than you may have gone, or far more quickly. I’m not denying her own ability.
@@ObscuredReverie probably far too often in this world, super talented people are missed or passed by, simply by fate or a lack of luck! Take artists like Norman Rockwell, for instance! In my opinion (and it's a good opinion, I'm an ex professional illustrator), one of the BEST artists of the last 150 years. Up there with Dali in terms of technical skill. But hardly anyone knows who he is! Thanks to social media and TH-cam, now talented people can get known without the need to be "scouted" or "given a shot". But this is new, only in the last 15 years or so. So yeah I agree. Movies often gave people their magic ticket to stardom. A chance encounter etc. We're all the better for it.
One of the very few celebrities I've ever had a full on crush for. She totally changed the way I heard and thought about music when Debut came out, was 17. My gf had an even bigger crush on her, so it was fine lol
I honestly am not getting any awkwardness from this at all, where are you seeing it specifically? She's low key here but very charming and responsive from my perspective, not at all awkward.
Conan is a great person. The last time I saw him we wound up speaking for a long time. He is passionate about the arts, especially music and treats people fairly.
why the hell this interview took so short... she is worth much more time than many other celeb guests on the talk show... and jesus conan is old, this was recorded 1 year before my birth 👀
Björk talks so sweetly and has an incredible voice. Over 30 years as a successful solo artist and she was the front woman for the band, The Sugarcubes before that.
Caught a late night flight to San Fran with my girl, and picked up this unknown artists’ cd at the airport, and it was the magic soundtrack to our vacation. Brilliant.

Björk is cool too.

@@thomaswilson4441 lmao, "creature."
Björk went black ... we never want her back. What a shame.

@@AuntieMamies haha just watched it
More than that, Bjork is the greatest at non-verbal vocals. Her sounds are even better than her words.
Like the way she attacked Asian Reporter. 🤣
Although brief, this is a great interview. He treated her with due respect in contrast to so many hosts treating her as if she were weird or alien.
@@JJPoffMakeupArtist agreed! Thank you. I don't know why some commenters are attacking them. This interview seems great to me. Kind by both of them, supportive, funny, sweet. I appreciate that.

Spot on. No crappy gags or razzmatazz. Just a respectful interview from Conan who comes across as a genuinely interested fan of the music.
I like weird, especially if it looks and sounds like that
Exactly! I've been binging the old Björk interviews and the interviewers were horrendous! Nice to see Conan be a bit more "normal" in that regard.
I feel like Conan knew he was communicating with a real human being, in the artistic way, almost extremely human, and acknowledged that. He's not always as silly as one would assume. He had respect for her, in a deep way.
I think he is a harvard guy and could easily switch gears to her frequency.
@@jschritz you're right, actually. Conan has said over the years that they are friends and he has the utmost respect for her as an artist.

Bjork is borderline mythical. What a captivating artist.
In a way she's the quintessential 90s artist, sound and personality wise
wow... never realized the timing. that was a hugely influential album.
Right? This very quiet, softly silly interview promoting an absolutely killer album that pioneered so much about the way music is produced today.
Bjork is a beautiful human
Saw her at Glastonbury in 1994.
Awesome performance
She actually changed my life. Saw her twice in Chicago in the 90s. Rare talent.
