Kate Bush Interview 1980

[PhlegmDeNeige]

omg, i'm in love with this woman <3

[ulaghchi]

So, does she look Irish or English?

[unhooked25]

I think it's her voice and accent that plays a role in her beauty.

[sarabower1]

the very best of the best

[swampthing20]

She's just ace isn't she?

[geofflorimer]

XX it's bloody interview, we love you kate

[Bigsquid91]

Normally, hearing British accents wants me to grab my Armalite, but Kate is such an exception.

[idektron]

@Bigsquid91 muppet.. your sort of ignorance makes america so shit..

[Bigsquid91]

@idektron If I am a Muppet, then I am Sweetums. No, were I to grab an Armalite, I would do it not for America, but for Eire.

[DANIELKING68]

The most perfect of women .....Hipnoticly beautiful .

[RaskoValjean]

Love how unpretentious she is-even name checking Cliff Richard-impossible to imagine any of the shallow, contemporary, no-talent dim wits in the charts today talking about their work like this.

[queenbeelzebub]

She is incredibly baked during this interview...

[JGib12345]

that cute laugh at 4:09 makes my heart melt

[mrmajestika]

there is truely something magical about this woman,she is completely devoid of ego and there in lies the magic perhaps.

[Katefanforever]

@mrmajestika.I love her humility.She never took herself seriously.That's why I love her so much.

[bolder2009]

@mrmajestika I think you hit the nail.

[Alan95Haitch]

its nice to know that there are others who share my effinity for kate bush

[Katefanforever]

@Alan95Haitch.As far as I'm concerned,it's more than affinity,it's love.

[crapple009]

Very beautiful sweater, too, if I may add.

[silerburd]

Pure talent in the making I even have a signed photo from her.

[8BlueSkies]

Goddess.

[iloveboneslots]

For some reason she reminds me a bit of bjork...(in a good way of course)

[blakiecakes419]

@iloveboneslots I think her and Bjork are kindred spirits. Both are very creative, eccentric, and are looked at as strange by a great amount of people. I think they both talk similiarly too, it's really kind of strange if you think about it. I think they're both lovely though.

[cs028]

@ 4:40 someone is getting a beer, can hear the bottles..LOL

[ImHidingFromSteve]

Her talking voice and singing voice are completely different!

When she talks, she's so shy, and quiet... kind of reminds me of my mom.

But when she sings, she's bold, wild eyed, and outgoing.

[robi2000]

ahhh, Kate is so right here in her words. For years i was a young pretty boy with a free heart and much love to give - every girl thought i was cheating on her and so many fell apart from paranoia of things that did not exist.  oh the trials and tribulations of being handsome, Laugh!

[boogiepop14mc]

Her English accent sounds peculiar to me. But I can't tell if it is a Kentish accent or her own personal idiosyncratic speech? I'm American and I'm unfamiliar with regional differences in British dialects. Either way, she sounds absolutely adorable.

[mojopin70]

@boogiepop14mc yes her accent is a south east accent...essex or kent for sure....

[aeronpanick]

@mojopin70

she's from Kent

[SaffronKelley]

The lyrics to this song are pure storytelling, very mature for a young woman of her age at this time. Essential Kate Bush.

[goldenfilly]

i fookin love her so much

[Leojoris]

Hello Kate. I love you.

Here is my number : 0482123647. Please, call me.

[rekoonsghjkl]

Pretty, Lovely sing and speaking voice, sexy, lovely hair, eyes, smart, great musician and I love her she's the perfect women.

[gojedason123]

her sweater blends in lmaoo

[lenief]

happy birthday kate ♥ love to you if youre creeping around seeing what we think ♥

[WithMyLittleSpoon]

@lenief :):):)***:):):) Salute Ciao:)*:)

[saintlysparrow]

the way she laughs and closes her mouth at 3:38 makes me swoon.

[joeglimmix]

she should have been a librarian with that soft relaxing voice

[wednesday55]

@joeglimmix I'm glad she didn't become a librarian!

[roastacsmee]

Outside music, Bush has been an inspiration to several fashion designers, most notably Hussein Chalayan

[8BlueSkies]

She is so great. And I love the solo piano version of "Blow Away" she played in the middle there.

[Lieu3C4]

I knew a lady who was like a cello, a bass fishing reel and an outboard motor - all she needed was a mirror dinghy to sail the seas of fate.

[MiaoPurrington]

I love her mannerisms. She is so pleasant.

[sukaebanaja]

I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my 22 years.

[jolf1245]

I think I have most of her music on CD but I could listen to her TALKING for hours and hours....

[Scoob505]

is she half irish?

[NeverGetOld2009]

@Scoob505 Yes,she is.

[unhooked25]

@Scoob505 yes she is. Her mother is Irish and her father is English.

[3dog9ty]

I was maybe 13 when I first heard this jewel in the world. I said "that's amazing". I was right.

[nicholasjames100]

what a legend

[TheEmmaDarling]

love hearing blow-away live on piano...its my all time fave piece music ever...EVER...couple minutes bliss

[NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

I really like her.

[TheNicholas0202]

She is a genius, the most gifted female music artist ever.

[krissyrose14]

Kate Bush is a wonderful songwriter. I admire her work.

[keithdeweese]

It's so wonderful to see and hear her playing "Blow Away!" The best part of this clip aside from the unintentionally daft comments/questions of the interviewer and the telephone ringing.

[resurs125]

Pleasant beautiful girl

[AmonRa1081]

I love Kate Bush even more now. She is naturally artistic without being pretentious. Those qualities seem to be all too evident in today's artists. She is just............Wow, unbelievable.

[integration1000]

I'm sure she was not pretentious and simply adorable!

[EddieG1888]

What is she playing on the piano? It sounds great.

[CopperCell1]

I don't recognize it myself. It could be improv.

[motjames]

It's 'Blow Away (for Bill) fromthe album 'Never For Ever.'

[CopperCell1]

Cheers mate. I'll check that album out.

[transistasi]

How lovely and tender this young Kate!!!And plenty of talent spreading from her words.Great Kate,love you!

[maciek126p]

Kate Bush is lovely

[Monapoliss]

1:31 Word!!!!

[hankdendrijver]

I love her.

[LadyDoor1]

Kate looks so young in this interview, it's amazing that she was already making such great music at that time. She's just as beautiful today as she was then...

[Kaderbeck]

The only issue I have is that this interview is actually longer than the song... Which is pretty self explanatory to begin with...

[quillber]

kate has very irish features, shes so beautiful. i love her.

[weshty1]

That's because she is half irish. Her mum, Hannah Daly, is from Co. Waterford and was an award winning irish dancer (before becoming a nurse).

[Leojoris]

i love english girls!

[BlackBeltJones86]

kate is a goddess

[Flightless93]

arghh she makes my heart melt, shes so lovely

and shes a musical genius

I love the way she talks, i'd LOVE her voice, her beautiful british accent

[faddy24]

The only wonderful person to come out of Kent.

[slightlymooshed]

I've got a wonderfully tender, beautiful & gentle friend from Kent... and hes not called Kate? Perhaps you've not met everyone yet...

[faddy24]

I prefer the ladies ha ha

[Ulmeyda08]

lmao so true, its such a miserable fucking place too.

[mcsuibhne005]

classic 80's wooly jumper

[jtm101583]

I can't help but smile at her when I watch this clip! I don't care for her style of music, but I always thought she was pretty. I love her smile & her accent.

[yaywhewclips242]

A brilliant performer. She is a little flighty, I would characterize her as the "Stevie Nicks" of the UK. She seems really to be into erotic art!! (listen to her songs) I think her first album is her best, avant garde with a heart of gold. SHe's hot too!! I LOVE YOU KATE !!!

[134being]

I adore Kate Bush ,the greatest female talent on Earth ,she is life you see?.....

[mattsolomon3]

Cliff who?

[goodtimetone]

i played on that same piano!!!

[lookatdoor]

now she's a biggie

[przemekgrabowski]

now she's a biggie

----

you've never seen a "biggie" and I dearly wish that every 50 year old would look like Kate Bush recently. She's still very beautiful and I'm certain she never had plastic surgery or anything like that.

[lookatdoor]

Oh yes, she's quite Infallible

[lookatdoor]

you've never seen a "biggie"

___

I think you may have misunderstood my comment

[przemekgrabowski]

sorry for misunderstanding

[clausem]

Quero a legenda!!

[elvitron]

She is great!!!!

[mellraizer]

I needed some inspiration.. lovely, thanx : ) BTW coffee achievers comment re 'entranced chimps'.. lol ;D!!

[mckenzie818]

Beautiful.

I love her explanations of her songs, she really cares about them.

It gives me a completely different outlook.

"We write songs together, he's my partner"

Love that.

Love her. :)

[BNPvoter]

This is a nice interview. Thank you.

[AnalogAudio1]

she is sweet, a brilliant musician, I would mary her :-)

[greekmadnessss]

i love Kate Bush...so mature and soft spokn and she is just like 22 years old here!!

[CoffeeAchiever]

Hey, where can I see a couple of entranced chimps?

Oh, I'll go here 5:36

[martimerius]

Beautiful, oh yes, but also an incredible woman with great talent. If all musicians were like her, I guess there would be little reason to turn off the music. I also understood that though her songs may be eccentric, mind-boggling at times, she is a well balanced woman with a soul yearning for originality and real class. She's totally different in her videos and songs so no wonder people keep on seeing her as a basket-case.

[dmiize]

what a wonderful woman

[screamingdean5]

I really enjoyed the explanation of her video. I guess it kind of explains the method to her "madness".

[wildmanchris200]

Kate Bush is ADORABLE!

[Topdoginuk]

Intelligent creative lady.

[BaronMorte]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TALK TO ME

i need someone smart to keep me entertained VP

[joeglimmix]

that's all well and good, but probably 75% of the time you are suspicious of your partner they are in fact being unfaithful....

[depechemodedude1991]

Great-Cant Get Enough Of This Gal!

[Berlinerschnitzel]

Is it me? Her boobs look huge in this interview! It's more Kate Boobs with Baboobshka! Sexy lady.

[SebWars]

...No, you are correct...they look amazing...I almost got my eye taken out.

[squeekie111]

I see so much similarity between Kate and Tori Amos. I love it.

[ewok1982]

yes, that's because whori anus, i mean tori amos, is a 2nd rate copycat

[quillber]

i am as in love with her as a gay man can be

[Doko17325]

She's right posh.

[quillber]

she's really not actually, just well brought up

[struthiomimus2468]

the most perfect woman who has ever lived...Loved the comment about Cliff Richard being one of the greats!

[MeoCaroline]

Kate's speaking voice is just so beautiful. Her ways are v. elegant.

[Leojoris]

hello. I'm looking for the interview in "ask aspel", september, 5, 1978. I didn't find it on the internet.

It's a very rare one;

Thank you if you can help me.

[mj7den]

And now she's bigger then the biggies.

[zack11993]

I love it when she goes "Pwoosh!"

[skyeyez101]

sorry i meant to give u a thumbs up but clicked the wrong one!!!!!! sorry!♥

[zack11993]

lol, thats ok

[SNEDILLIO]

You don't get many artist of her quality say that Cliff Richard is an influence!. I love kate Bush, especially This Womens Work. Masterpiece.

[quillber]

yes, and especially mentioned next to david bowie too - what ticket she is, true original

[logaan5]

Thank you, Miss Bush , and happy birthday!

Some persons have been touch by grace , i think.

It's great to hear her, explaining the story of this song ans playing with his "partner" (The Piano i mean), her piano's mélody and arrangement are really great, it sounds like the intro of Blow Away (which i love it).

A pity that it doesn't last a litle bit longer.

Does anyone know where to write her?

Sorry for my English, i'm french (nobody's perfect)...

[hubbellgardner]

SO great to listen to her- a genuine original ! The meatheads at the end reaffirm why authentic women artists like her are significant ! Thx,

[biffen89]

She's cute.

[samhackett]

Kate Bush is so beautiful

[closetome]

such a cute voice and great muscian...piano sounds great

[CopperClock]

the cameraman back-peddles, first going in for a close-up, then panning out again to take in those protruded tits. beautiful tits. screaming.

[freakheavy]

hilarious - true, too!

[annarrrr]

she's lovely :) such a cute voice XD! i love kate!

[likeyouwant]

All ingredients of her charismatic and creative personality are already here! Kate I want to meet girls like you...

[PadrethePio]

She sounds like Frank Spencer off Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.

[vvelvettearss]

LOL! she does a bit with the accent, very lovely and sweet though

[NotMarkKnopfler]

Ok, the Cliff Richard thing... Well, those of us that are old enough (ahem!) will remember that actually Cliff Richard was really running pretty high in the early 80's. He probably did his best stuff: Wired for Sound, Carrie Doesn't Live Here Anymore etc. :-)

[GrossbergerXXX]

So Babooshka is paranoid, insecure, possessive, deranged, psychotic .... mmmm, pretty much the average woman then (with the notable exception of Kate, of course. She's teriffic).

[gorgeousbutterfly]

she is very charming in this clip

[SpookOfHearts99]

Did she get plastic surgery or just stop aging when she was very, very sexy??!

[garethclark123456]

CLIFF RICHARD?!?

[Louisiana77]

Cliff Richard........???!!!!

[SpookOfHearts99]

Why does everyone keep saying that?? Que?

Ah, just let me watch the video.

Just for the hell of it *mocks you*

'cliff richards'?

[youtubesneak]

There is a transcript of this interesting interview at the wikipedia talk page for the song. Search wikipedia for "Babooshka (song)" and then look at the discussion tab.

[xXxMysticalMoonxXx]

its amazing how different she is in her videos

shes not just a singer shes an actress

[alyssaloo]

I love Kate Bush what an amazing lady and I'm only 19 and I can see what a genious she is... and she has the most adorable pure british accent, cute!

[Youcantmistakeme]

She's so beautiful..and I love her voice when she's speaking aswell <3<3

[myfurcoatman]

love the hooters groooooooooooowl!!

[danieljcross]

I feel really dumb..I never realised she had an english accent...

[joh2]

Well, she is a brit....

[appy51]

Well she is from Kent in England.

[sirlordwhitman]

She was 22 in this interview and seems quite smarter than any other 20 something female 'artist' these days.. cough britney spears cough..Fergie Cough...

[BennyJBishop]

i know, just the art of the video is great on it's own

[davestany]

just bad taste nowdays ..sad

[drummer78]

It is almost disgusting to even think of Britney when watching this intelligent beauty. I am now trying to wash the thought of a Starbucks slurpping/chain smoking Britney out of my brain.

[garymilli]

shes beautful,im in love with kate ,and i always will! ive been in love with her since iwas 12 yrs im now 40 yrs and i still love her.them eyes ....well what can i say,they make me melt !

[jeandepaul]

bless

[jmedia1]

VERY interesting; thanks for posting.

[ScreenFlavour]

She mentioned cliff richard. for shameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[jeandepaul]

did she?

[lookatdoor]

Thanks for uploading this, it was really insightful

[dawnrun911]

If only there were more people like Kate in this matrix.

[owgigi]

To meet Kate Bush would be a dream come true, her music was with me throughout boarding school and now it is with me on my iPod at Leeds Uni, where everyone's a Kate Bush fan, it's great! I wish she got out and about a bit more, she's so important to our generation.

[alyssaloo]

She's wonderful and what a lovely voice. My fave of hers would have to me this woman's work, i have it on my ipod and it always makes me cry.

[ricardomark]

She play Blow away  on the piano?

[roberttoddtv]

Cool vid, she's a great interviewee.

[dischordantbelief]

A musical and intellectual genius.

[redred9991]

i agree with j4wn, her voice is sooooo cute and i looovvvee her!!!

omg i wish i was her husband

by the way, i am a straight female....

[j4wn]

First time i've ever heard her speak. She is beauty personified.

[leeoskar]

"ALL YOURS" grandmother, grandmother, grandmother ya ya!???

[youclavicle]

and the male backing vocals in the quiet parts going: ...grandmo-ther! hahaa!

i love kate bush. but now i can never hear the song again without laughing out loud...

[FluffQueen]

Such a pleasure to see her and hear her speaking about her music. You can hear in her voice how shy and nervous she is, trying to explain the depth of feeling and exactly how much her music means to her. Kate is a beautiful person.

[hlinskona]

Weird context: John Lennon was still alive when this was filmed. Wow.

[giumag]

creative, sensitive, talented, courageous, determined, real woman,profound...Ms Bush is all this.

[Onmusicboy]

Great!

Thank you!

[teabettyak]

Sweet Cathy!

Love you

[geekmagestik]

she is so sweet

i love her

[darkmusical5]

i can't think of a more complete, original, creative,charming artist than madame Kate Bush.I truly love her.

[SpankRamen]

Her singing is so powerful, but when she speaks, she's so delicate & soft. I LOVE KATE BUSH!!!
