[Motorcat289]

Bjork ,Flott hja ther, -Lengi lifi FULLVELDI ISLANDS ...... GB

[Skylishque]

Women don't become sexy until 40, so hopefully I'll become sexy pretty soon... Until then, I will keep hanging out on these Bjork sites...

[keyofdavid888]

She is 45 and she still sounds like a child. She's so unique!

[didaktus90]

vafan är detta för skit språk låter blandning av finska och estländksa

[agulekyoh]

it is just a little bit sad, when you watch the interview from 1995 and then go here and see how she got old and changed. i'm her biggest fan and i love her, but it is just sad. i hoped she is immortal or something

[egogo816]

@agulekyoh She is...She is a legend what are u talking about...She takes care of herself...She is not Judi Garland looking years older...She looks a lot like my mother who is only 3 years older than her...So she is still looks good and fresh since 1993

[Gusty85]

@agulekyoh that's just stupid. Bjork is one of the few artist in the business today who seems to age with dignity. Same goes for her music, she is not doing music about being 20 or anything like that anymore. And she doesnt have to, her talent is her music, everything else is just a pleasurable bonus for the eye and mind.

[babysharkme]

Totally checking her phone at the beginning :) Can't understand but sounds like an intelligent conversation. I should stop being lazy and learn another language.

[melodiouscanopies]

A reason to learn the Icelandic language!

[BibzzzRandomVids]

i can't believe she is 45 o.o

[Fueledbychapstick]

Aaaaand (last comment) I love the description; it must be a translation because it calls Björk Birch!

[Fueledbychapstick]

I also like how at 11:50 she just sticks in "yah, okay."

[MinorMisfits]

@Fueledbychapstick That's because "yeah" and "okay" is almost universal.

[Fueledbychapstick]

I have no idea what they're saying, but they keep interrupting each other! (Mostly Björk interrupting the interviewer... :P)

[MrMerchiodos]

if only i knew what they said ):

[folladordeprostis]

Bjork looks asian

[xxcrystalsweetiexx]

what do you guys mean she isnt comfortable/sounds weird in icelandic?? SHE IS ICELANDIC. Thats her first language..

[nagyadamgm]

@xxcrystalsweetiexx

lol, fail :)

[sonofLUC1FER]

how isn't she comfortable speaking icelandic when it's her first language???

[4791gothix]

I think she's of the Fay or a changling left for her parents to raise... She is from a different level/ dimension/ plane of existence

[StarseedLove]

@4791gothix TOTALLY AGREE!! I'm always thinking that... she seems not of this world (in the best way possible)... And what better place to be incarnated than Iceland, where the veil is the thinnest, right? It would make sense and I think it's funny how you would mention that.. Is it just me or are more people becoming aware of the Fae?

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

Subtitles!!! .... Wait ... was Bjork checking her iPhone or something in the beginning of interview (first shot of her)? LOL!

[karmacop911]

I feel like even in Icelandic, she sounds weird. Her speech is different from the interviewer.

[Starkardur]

@karmacop911 It is - her Icelandic has always sounded a bit weird - She has never been comfortable speaking especially Icelandic.

[Nightbird87]

@Starkardur She is a native of Iceland. She speaks with the same cadence in English as well.

[Starkardur]

@Nightbird87I am Icelandic so I know how Icelanders usually speak.

[Ireluinar]

FYI, French is the language which, by far, influenced Old English the most, specifically

after the Normand Conquest. Being originally a West Germanic language, Anglo-Saxon also got influenced by Danish, a North Germanic language, because of the numerous Viking setlements along the West coast of nowadays England. Latin had actually very little direct influence on Anglo-Saxon dialects.

[eojadiius]

@Ireluinar thats really fascinating, you can sort of occasionally hear the resemblences in them too.

[eximago]

@Ireluinar To add to what you're saying, most of our Latin based words were through Old French, which is ultimately from Latin, but not Latin itself. For instance, "chamber" is from Latin through O.Fr. "chambre" from "camera", and "chair" from "chaire" from "cathedra" and so and so forth. Latin itself didn't influence English directly except through religious contexts via Catholicism, and later, through scientific literature.

[gloomyoutlook]

@eximago

Latin words abound in English, and not those absorbed through our language's exposure to Norman. These words are not restricted to scientific or religious terms... Indeed, Latin words comprise a same proportion of English words as do French ones. Add to this mix words of Greek origin and so forth, and there are more loanwords in English than native ones.

[silenteyesspy]

I love Icelandic! if English would have stayed Anglo Saxon it would have sounded like German, Dutch and Icelandic..to bad it mix with Latin and every other language under the sun =(

[Stenheart]

Björk is so SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET <3

[Stenheart]

Björk is a reaL warrior and i love her

[razrv3lc]

Usually I hate the way a foreign language sounds, but I like how this one sounds! Too bad I can't understand a word that they said!

[mountainhomemedia]

U.S.A. loves Iceland. Iceland said no to the Banks, and we love Bjork. Sadly our Music stars perform concerts for Dictators, and then donate money to Charity, when they are on this week"s Bombing list. You Go Bjork. This is America-try censuring this - Magma. Ross Beaty would sell his children, if the price was right.

[sionv2009]

aww she's cute! :)

[ThePhaelen]

nå ser jeg hvor forskjellig islandsk og norsk er..

[Starchild91]

@ThePhaelen Det er mye lettere å lese.

[ThePhaelen]

@Starchild91 Ja, for sangtekster er ikke alltids så hart å forstå, men dette var utrolig vanskelig å forstå... haha ;)

[IsabelleSjalander]

@ThePhaelen Betyder forskjellig olika eller lika? (är svensk :P )

[ThePhaelen]

@IsabelleSjalander olika :)
