I love Bjork and have listened to many interviews with her. You have her speech patterns down pretty well. She does tell random stories like that too. Anyway, this was entertaining!

good job on the icelandic accent.
-
omgee i love bjork!!!! and this is pretty close!! i wish i could do that!!!!
-
the icelandic "s" is pretty spot on, they also tend to place a lot of "h" sounds in words like "sahtelite" for sattelite and i love the way they say"mioossik" for "music"

Thank you!

Sweet!

Not much like Björk, but adorably a lot like the Siamese cats from The Lady And The Tramp.

For example, in the videos that I just watched, her 'I's and 'O's are pretty British compared with the rest of her vowels.
* The 'S's are very sibilant in Icelandic, approaching very close to the 'SH' sound in English.
* Icelandic can be a little jumpy - my mum says that when English people hear her talk on the phone to other Icelanders they always think that she's having an argument! Icelandic distinguishes between different consonant lengths, making it sound a bit Italian in that respect.

As an Icelander, I have to say that the accent is pretty poor from my perspective. But don't despair! As a native, I pick up little inconsistencies a lot better than everyone else.
* Sounds a bit too heavily Danish, in that you tend to hit every consonant at full strength. I don't know about everyone else, but I think Icelandic is a little softer
* Björk has an odd British-Icelandic accent that is difficult to speak. Try to figure out which sounds are more British and which are more Icelandic

you have to understand that she was taught english by british teachers, and that she still retains some of her icelandic accent combined with the accent she learned english with.
if you learned chinese from someone from beijing, you would have an accent. it's as simple as that.
it's not fake.
