Ane Brun - Jóga (Björk cover, live 2010)

[Johnkicku00]

I think björk was crying because this song is about her friend and it brings back memories. She always has a melancholy manor when she hears this song plus it a good song and it was a good cover!

[chavitoTKD]

I love Björk, I think she´s not from this planet, when I listen to her songs I feel like being transported to places with new colours we can´t even imagine here on Earth. This song is one of my Björk´s favs and I´d never found a cover that made me feel the same as when hearing at it´s original version. Till today. This is just awesome. Thanks.

[Cimbarius]

this was an excellent live performance by Ane Brun ! 

[SuicideSue21]

Good cover,not going to lie. But there's no one like Bjork-3 she's a genius!

[alittlemikeful]

very interesting voice. she uses a bit too much vibrato all the times but otherwise this was a beautiful and honorable cover of a great song

[dmstyle7]

She's really in the zone you can see the way she moves with the music... So amazing

[b0ucl3d0or]

If only she could stop moving !!

[onetwothreexd1]

@b0ucl3d0or Gives her magic! =)

[icanseeuranus]

are her arms not effected by gravity?

[FidelAnge]

@icanseeuranus nope, you know state of emergency!!

[orangebol]

this is a good version

[Izaak247]

Shit I prefer Björk (for biased reasons) but this is fucking amazing. Great cover.

[Pancho511259]

its so good it makes me happy unlike the version by lights that one sux ass

[nedthetoothpick]

Perfect.



[pepinozeman]

always I called the covering of Bjorks songs A BLASPHEMY!

But this cover shut up my mouth!!!! Is literally breathtaking.

She managed it with amazing power, dignity and deep art. Bravo

[ob2kanob]

Just an incredible song...probably not of this world...

[snake896]

the strings are really nice but god she slaughters the song imo, they should've put someone with a more powerfull voice. she didn't do the song justice at all

[MegaSogetsu]

NADIE COMO BJORK

[thomasdecolita]

the music is so expressible - no words.

[UUDUUV]

she understood the feelings in that song..therefore tears of joy in byorks eyes..

[chaosfay]

Goosebumps...

[18vallancel]

The best strings I've heard for Joga, shame she can't sing it 1/10 as well as Bjork

[travvanwyck]

Did Björk have tears in her eyes at the end?

[Sunelba]

wow

[musicimal]

each time the word 'Emotional' passes her lips it sends a shiver

[musicimal]

a bit of a bad start, kinda makes you think the whole video is going to suck ass, however the first time she says 'Emotional Landscape' you just know how good this song is, a stunning tribute to Bjork

[berebba]

Creo que su voz es magnífica, sin embargo como cover no gusta. Quiere hacerse sonar igual que Bjork y ese no creo que sea el objetivo.

[assienka203]

is that Björk who's almost crying at the end of the video ?

[orelero]

@assienka203 Yes you are right it's her !

[madelinecon]

@assienka203 Yes.

[AndrewFaith18]

I like this cover, great! Bjork's always sound so mysterious, and this singer's sound sweet

[TerryGuyMusic]

Defo a good version of this song! She's got a beautiful voice!

[GothIAm17]

I don't like it....>.>too many hands gestures...and her voice isn't powerful enough for this song

[Keally777]

amazing voice! individualistic!

[Alonsonicolas]

WHO IS SHE WHY DIDNT I KNOW HER BEFORE

[littlework]

Wow i guess she is the only person i have seen do a good cover of a bjork song

[MachineDreams92]

Shivers came through my body more than 20 times during this. Fantastic, almost as good as original :)

[DorixDoll]

just beautiful. and her voice have the song this celtic life. love it.

[giovylicious]

That's a COVER. Beautiful!!!

[Chubbyzombiebunny]

This is magical!

[Dieuabv]

nice...

[chao4364]

she did it.... Ane is wonderful..

[GaGaBjork1996]

breathtaking. this is the best cover i have ever heard of this song.

[corpsegrinder777]

Wow, did you see Björk's face at the end!? I don't know if she was crying or angry because she didn't see that coming, I'd love to know what was passing through her mind at that time. With Robyn's cover she was like "thanx, but long way to go girl" but what would she have thought with Ane who's at the same league as her? Anyway in Björk's words... Fantabulous!!! :P

[theOneAwake]

@corpsegrinder777

She's crying, you can see a tear rolling down her cheek.

[bmolko]

@theOneAwake At what point during the performance is she crying? I think I missed it...

[Nympholita]

@theOneAwake i cant see a tear coming down her cheek...

[LucidLiver]

@corpsegrinder777 Ane is fantastic, but I won't say she's in the same league as Bjork. Not my league with Bjork which she occupies all by herself. Who else can sing about backs of necks and thrill my soul?

[smithslover1]

@corpsegrinder777 she looked very very moved, rather than angry. I'm glad, it was an amazing cover.

[sutisut]

gave me chills beautiful

[allpreciousthings]

WHAUW it's beautiful :O



[LaDiscoTetris]

UGH! her voice is annoying.

[rosswinner]

Es preciosa la cancion y Ane Brun la canta genial!!! amazing!!

[bradleybfb]

excellent

but seriously, no one can out-match björk

[TheRealPjMcwhiskers]

The true power of a cover is when it reminds you how much you loved the original version, and at the same time allows you to fall in love with the song all over again as if it were the first time hearing it. Amazing.

[elsitawera]

@TheRealPjMcwhiskers this is exactly how I feel ! :D thanks for finding the right words

[FidelAnge]

@TheRealPjMcwhiskers I just felt that power! Amazing!

[Meinte34]

I officially prefer this version over Björk's. It is amazing.

[CivilianInRange]

just watch / listen to: " Björk - Jóga [Royal Opera House] " here on Youtube...way better !

[CivilianInRange]

dont like it... the voice shows no real emotions to me.... no highs or lows like it sounds like when björk sings it live. The Lady is whispering the song... not really singing / feeling it. This version is lalala and nothing like EMOOOOOOTIONAL LANDSCAAAPE :)

[Eshmasesh]

@CivilianInRange I have to agree. She's undeniably talented, but doesn't put nearly as much emotion into the song as Bjork.

[trowaclown]

I signed in to dislike this.

[Alkali64]

@trowaclown i signed in to dislike your comment

[trowaclown]

@Alkali64 Hahaha it's a free world ainnit?

[rockyelvis]

bjorks effing face at the end. priceless. come on. she is enjoying it, right? please like this if you concur.

[BlindedInChains21]

mh...it's ok...but i think her voice is fragile in a little fake way

[KRoyceII]

I just stumbled upon youtube gold.

This is even better than gold. This is... priceless.

[jaejara]

Her voice sounds so fragile

[PetexBurnsxCore]

Björk is unamused.

[mgeorge733]

I fucking love scandinavian girls.

[Paperhouse81]

3:03

I love how everyone is "well-dressed" and all suited up, while Bjork is wearing one of her outrageous outfits.

[Paperhouse81]

0:14

HI BJORK!

[Paperhouse81]

WTF! is wrong with her vibrato! TOO MUCH!!! SUXXX!

[donglabong]

don't like the 'arm waving' otherwise, exquisite.

[Firearrow83]

@donglabong understandable, but we all express our self's in different ways.

[EvRocksMySox]

I like Both Versions of this song... this cover and the Original ..Bjork is Awsome .. It's just so sad that lady gaga , katy perry and nicki minaj and others are having all the attention these days .. so Sad , What happened to the World ?

[soadfan33]

I lived it very much. Bjorks face is so emotional

[1970wilfried]

Beautifully sung, very intense, great arrangements as well ! Ane's voice is unique !

[merlijn123]

allmost as good as she!!!

[hr2burn]

I've been HIP-MO-TIZED!!!!!!

[Gooseberry51]

Absolutely brilliant!!!

[Chikara312]

That orchestra is intense, gave me automatic goosebumps. Wasn't too impressed with Ane Brun though. But Bjork's expression seemed very emotional and pleased and that's all that really matters.

[Firearrow83]

I enjoyed the way she sounded singing Bjorks song.

[jonferris24]

Ane Brun has an amazing voice... but let's be honest, nobody even comes close to singing this like Björk.

[MisfitCult]

bjork looks really touched by this.

[michaimeskinsek]

can't find the right word. Only and simply goosebumps.

[akaitora91]

@michaimeskinsek you dont actually have to find the right words, havent you red the lyrics? :P

[Cathellos]

Wow. I gotta say I did not like this cover at all. But I appreciate the admiration that people have for REAL music.

[CENSURATUBE1]

Buena musica

[StevenWilliamsMusic]

I am desperate for the audio of this. Does anyone know where I can download it? or someone can send it to me?

Thanks!

[MrSkelleteen]

@StevenWilliamsMusic I Can Send it to you :) Send me a PM

[jen8rve]

Love the orchestra which is superb, but not feeling the singer. This is Bjork's song and she sings it with passion like a warrior, not this watered down version.Sorry either put some heat in it or go home, and yes this is relevant and part of the problem with music now, it's insipid

[osgubben]

Björk knew what she did when she picked Ane Brun to sing Jóga!

[wtfroflmaopmslffs]

Two of the most amazing scandinavian artists I know uniting their music. It cannot go wrong. So much passion..

[wearetheNormalOnes]

i don't think björk wants to to set an untouchable pinnacle with her music that all other musicians should be chastised for even dreaming of touching. in fact, i feel like it's the opposite; i find the beauty in björk's music stems from how it calls to the innermost feelings of a person's singular life and collective human life. it's fine not to like it, but if you tell people not to ever cover björk because you can't improve "perfection", i think you're missing the point of music in general

[WilliamsBallMusic]

her voice is so delicate and thin, but the symphony behind her makes it all tie in nicely.

[paraiso2U]

Creo que Björk (así como el resto del público) más que conmovida por esta versión, lo que estaba era medio dormida, porque esta mujer no canta, susurra XD. La canción es tan bonita que con la orquesta y a pesar de esta voz, sigue molando. Pero es una mala versión a todas luces.

[jamesdean0512]

Hauntingly beautiful!

[tonykurnz]

I can't stop listening to this.

[Felicitas1990]

I don't like at all

[DancingGalaxy]

Beautiful cover of Jóga, really. Can also see that Bjork enjoy this version. You don't have to speak, I feel.

[asyarihahaha]

Have to admit it I was turned off by the first note! But trust me, you'll changed ur opinion when she sings 'EMOTIONAL!'

[cecillbill]

@asyarihahaha

omg..you are so right!

[gordanz92]

this is much more haunting than bjorks original. but bjorks version is so beautiful.. both good

[Bryciferous]

Such a beautiful and delicate reworking of a classic. Bravo, Ms. Brun, bravo.

[baxiboy0123]

I've just discovered Ane Brun and while checking her videos and I came across this wonderful version of a beautiful Bjork song.

And to people who write narrow minded comments, embrace the beauty of the song and the voice.

[cma2380]

that sucked!! dont you try to cover bjork biach!!

[RGFI]

@cma2380 Learn to appreciate people for what they do !! As said before music is not a contest. Beautiful cover of a just as beatiful song.

[cma2380]

@RGFI it is not something she did, it is something she copied.. or better said ruined! it is a beatiful song, but sang by bjork...

and if you appreciate a real artist have a bit more respect and not ruin her songs!!

make up your own stuff or cover crappy mtv style garbage artists at least.

but if you really want to do the world a favor just get a gun and blow your brains out =) rid the planet of your terrible singing

[clayravin]

@cma2380 this cover version was performed in honour of bjork winning a music award. in the clip you can see her sitting in the audience, enjoying it. if she doesn't have a problem with a fellow musician performing her song, why would you? if you don't like it, that's fine (personally i enjoy bjork's version better), but why leave comments so full of hate towards a performance that was done out of love and adoration for bjork?

[CalemBendell]

Bjork's expression...

[oOAnywhereButHomeOo]

WOW!

[jednabialakobieta]

beautiful!

[CopperEye108]

It must be such an interesting experience to see someone else singing your music & words! As they say imitation is the highest form of flattery :) so cool

[nataliacanul]

Just a class of music to everysingle one of you, cause im superior.

Ane Brun is in fact singing better, not a question of opinion, not a subjective observation, not a feeling its science, not to mention the wonderful orchestration.

Does anybody knows who did it?

Youre welcome

[suvetar]

I've only just recently discovered Ane Brun; but this just blew me away. They way she sings the word 'Emotional' ... shivers up my spine good.

[mattyjayj]

Absolutely spectacular; the song was done justice and then some. What a beautiful piece of music.

[BlueDemon555]

this song just gave me chills....

[RCarleyproductions]

Beautiful in all senses of the word. She embodies the song so much with such powerful emotion. I'm really touched by the way she sings it. She really feels it. So stunning!

[IinfiniteSorrow]

This is utterly amazing. I love how she made it her own and Bjork's face at the end is priceless.

[Violinfanatic]

Oh, BTW, beautiful cover. Ane Brun has a lovely voice--a true talent in a business that seems to be slacking in its selection of the next great star.

[antnybeard]

fuuuuuuuuck this made me well up

[dakomplexkid]

this powerfull and emotional song... her vocals were not fit for it how ever it didnt sound very bad but they should've chose someone else to cover this...but the ending was amazing the instruments over powered her voice thuogh

[bache87]

Diferent, but amazing!!!!

[eeWeenz]

ofc a Bjørk fan is gonna like her version more, but one should check out Ane Brun. she really is an amazing singer, and Bjørk really aint got shit on her, there I said it :)

[Violinfanatic]

@eeWeenz You can't compare the two. Bjor forged a new style and way of singing. So to say Ane sings better than Bjork is not relevant. If Bjork wanted to sing in the "traditionally" beautiful way, with training, no doubt she could because she's a genius. But Bjork chose to have the somewhat talkative, dissonant and not-so-nice-all-the-time voice. It's her signature voice. As a composer, creator of music and revolutionary artist, Ane Brun hasn't got anything on Bjork.

[tsure]

i just wonder if björk was thinking of her friend which she wrote it for.

[tsure]

by all respect, ane brun is great, but oyu notice that her voice is not made for this song. she doesnt have the same impact as björk and i dont think noone will ever have it as björk has. for a cover it is, still, very astonishing!

[themahermax]

Maybe she is a great singer with amazing voice but in this song BJORK is so so so so so so so so so so MUCH BETTER

[drzejmsbuond]

bjork is jealous as hell ! :-]

[TheSille912]

i´m not a fan of covers but this is great^^

[karmacop911]

I imagine that this all must have been very surreal for Bjork.

[xXJillyBeanXx]

Thanks to bjork I found this amazing woman <3 love Ane.

[katarzynameisner]

I am sorry but Biork is much better, she is just great, unfortunately this woman ' s voice is not good for this song

[sumiregusa23]

This version gives me goosebumps even on my ankles. Amazing.

[scholbe]

this is so beautiful



[deftcheng]

Tha orchestation was fucking good! Outstanding!

[LesYeuxBlancs]

I think that you can't compare bjorks to this , I love both :D

[geniousboyGR]

Very original and emotional, a lovely cover. Still, after this and Robyn's Hyperballad, I've made up my mind at last: PLZ NEVER COVER BJORK AGAIN

[pelleT514]

Type "Ranj Catch 22" if you wanna hear a cool song!

[MrUnison77]

sweet version

[justplur]

That was absolute crap. Don't ever mess with perfection.

[ForgeTrackAudio1024]

Man, was anyone else listening to dat orchestration? Pretty incredible.

[Tanru2000]

@ForgeTrackAudio1024 I agree it's AMAZING!

[ducrozet74]

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l, i LOVE bjork, but i actually like anes version better than the lady herself...

[odnocam]

I love Ane Brun... but Björk!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!­!!! wakghhhkklla

[gabri3logiatx]

wow wow and wow who is she? great great i want all her albums. and now singing with yessss mr peter gabriel!!!!!!!!

[bronzert]

no have emotion

[vinnern71]

Some of us like this version of Joga, and some of us dont. I am one of the lucky ones that found this performance by norwegian Ane Brun absolutely fantastic. She has a really original way of singing, so I can see some people not liking it. Im glad I am one of the ones who appreciate it, and loves it...

[Heymonkey81]

NO NO NO NO NO NO

[robokopo]

You have to have courage to cover Björk. And Ane Brun did it quite well.

[LadyBern]

Okay I have yet to see anyone who can really mimic Bjork's voice. If I wanted to hear Bjork sing this song I would have looked to the original. Ane did a beautiful job, the emotion of the song wasn't lost and it doesn't seem like she was just singing it to sing it but it seems like a beautiful tribute to Bjork. And in my opinion the only person who has the right to criticize her is Bjork herself.

[wtfroflmaopmslffs]

@LadyBern Yes, the point is not to mimic her voic ofc :) And I totally agree..

[xochil5fluer]

aww i kinda wanted her to draw out the notes more like in the original....but the composition was really nice and I actually liked her voice though

[777Krabban]

Björk is already a Legend

[CharlyRay1974]

I love this! Love both of them as individual artists, however i was surprised when watching the show that Ann was performing joga...then my surprise turned into amazement!!!! I can't stop watching it!!!

Made my night ;0)

[youtert]

I don't like the singer, but I like the rest of the arrangement.

[ursie1986]

last couple of minutes could be a good james bond theme :D

[thekynan]

That was an amazing performance, and Björks face at the end made it for me!

[AsaKollz]

wtf!

[hernanignaciobecerra]

Escribí tus temas...... zorrita! <3

[vatnojokull]

I dont compare,I just see the emotional landscapes and I feel the state of emergency

[RiTisHere]

Wow... I love Ane Brun and Björk. People saying that one is better than the other are dumb.. Both the original and the cover are great. :)

[kamwrites]

Was she good? Bjork herself looked very moved by the performance. Case closed.

[mejw1]

loved the instrumental BUT i'm not a big fan of her voice, it was just to shaky, it sounded like she was 90 years old, not smooth at all. sorry

[KrustytheKiller]

she doesn't really climax with the rest of the instruments. kind of wanted her to go for it on the chorus at least once but it never happens.

[donshan123]

Bjork look like she wanted to cry.

[jemtoad]

Some bizarre comments here - are we seeing/hearing the same video? Ane Brun delivers her own songs and those of others with a consistently intense, superbly involving performance. Whether it's better or worse than Björk is irrelevant; it's music not a contest. And this is an astonishing rendition.
