Björk - Best and High Notes Live

[@aspiritualsynapse]

her voice literally transforms into multiple baby birds at 1:47. This woman never ceases to amaze me.

[@BjorksMusic]

Your not wrong, Björk possesses a soprano vocal range. Her vocal range covers three octaves, going from F3 to E6. Classical composer John Tavener has praised Björk as being "more intelligent than most opera singers",music critic Alex Ross has cited Björk as one of the most gifted voices nowadays. The National Public Radio counted Björk among its list of "50 Great Voices" and MTV included her on its countdown "22 Greatest Voices in Music".

[@jesusceballos3]

So damn underrated, her voice is operatic

[@blueshelton2347]

Do you even know what operatic means? I dont hear any of the wide rolling or quick vibrato that any opera singers have along with the power. She screams not sings and opera singers vooces dont crack just to let you know

[@julianleil7847]

@@blueshelton2347 but her vocal abilities are uncommon even in opera

[@holobenthic]

@@julianleil7847 i mean yes because opera requires other abilities lol check out renee fleming she’s a world-renowned opera singer and in one of her last albums has covered some björk songs it’s so good to listen to them in such a different perspective

[@brovaco]

Dedicated to those ignorant people complaining about she doesn't sing so good anymore... Yes, through years she gave us these miraculous moments that none ever could ❤️

[@castejilian]

I get goosebumps when she screams

[@stogiiejay]

I had the privilege to see her live a couple of years ago and I can confirm she is still giving us vocals. She sounded amazing probably the best live show I have ever witnessed it was incredible

[@razrv3lc]

6:30 until the end of the song is her best. Vertebrae by Vertebrae is her most powerful song for me.

[@Stiggy333]

Damn! So much power in that incredible voice!

[@keith7261]

Sometimes listening in the confines of a song makes you not realize just how versatile her voice is as an instrument. I swear I could listen to Björk belt gibberish or random sounds all day, there doesnt have to be any tangible lyrics being sung because her voice provokes so much emotion. Its one thing to sing high, or low, but to have the range to do both, be able to have vibrato, AND incorporate all the different vocal inflections and vowels she does is truly amazing.

[@Mattball82]

She is a goddess and down to earth at the same time ❤

[@mcmuffinerson]

When I saw that Björk was on The Colbert Report, my brain nearly imploded. I didn't think it was possible for that much awesomeness to be contained in one setting o.O

[@RideonRunnersHigh82]

She has a very unique singing style not everyone is going to get, especially if they're wrapped up in most of today's crap.

[@simbz194]

She talk sings and then mixes some of the usual styles then rampages thru the song, and gets back to peaceful melodies. Very sporadic style but she's got a good voice, I don't understand what she says sometimed tho, but overwhelming cuteness and peculiar sounds are a really good way of describing the blend to her voice

[@wormpielars979]

​@@simbz194icelandic lyrics, and semi icelandic gibberish are littered around every song. something she says quite often "alsemanché" which can be translated to "all that he sees"

[@Ltb0904]

This is from a glastonbury appearance. I think 94? You can find audience videos on youtube. It was a special concert because she played some early versions of The Modern Things and one other track from post (I think it was Army of Me?) a full year before the album came out.. She also performed another song called "Modir",. The song has never been officially released and this was the one and only time it was performed in public.

What do you mean she can't sing?

[@blueshelton2347]

+Viktor Bönnem If u think she can sing than u need to check ur ears. Her voice sounds terrible that is what i mean

[@boghund]

Blue Shelton She can sing. This is what human voice sounds like without being processed through a ton of autotune

[@blueshelton2347]

+Viktor Bönnemark She cannot sing at all. And um hello some singers can actually sing live. For example adele, beyonce, christina Aguilera, whitney, mariah, celine. Sooo get ur facts straight

[@boghund]

+Blue Shelton yeah whatever dude I don't know you mean, give me an example of where she messes up or anything considered bad singing

[@fanyoho77]

Awful screams,she has no technique at all

[@johnross3096]

You say, these are jsut some random perfomances. She uses quite often techniques like belting, whistle register and tipical jazz scat singing. Her chest voice retains its power, volume and strength despite its timbre thinning somewhat as it pushes higher. As a whole, the voice is a dynamic one that can be oppressive and domineering one moment, and soft and sweet the next. It has the dexterity to sing complex melodies and vocal runs, but also the stamina to hold notes, while maintaining its quality, at length. Furthermore she can deliver powerful raw screams reaching very high notes, in her past bands like KUKL or Sugarcubes was astonishing. Well, I think you don't know her at all.

[@velvetdress4bono]

If those are just screams to your ear than you don't know singing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fanyoho77]

sam skeev you're right ,i don't know her well and i judge her technique only from this video,but in this video her high notes are strained...

[@fanyoho77]

velvetdress4bono well,screams might be beautiful or bad depending on the song!she might sound pleasant to your ears but that doesn't mean she has a good technique.she strains to hit those notes

[@Syukriarahim]
