She was the cutest thing in the 90s! Still gorgeous, though.

[@SnarkierThan-U-R]

Absolutely

[@kenkozma3780]

Ana Luiza... Yes, She is so cute. Adorable.

[@phildanus6962]

Ugh she is the cutest.

[@SpamfromAmsterdam]

She's so confident about her strangeness. I love her so much!!!

[@vargaso]

The performances here are so incredibly great. She was on another level throughout the 90s, this isn't pop music by any stretch of the imagination. She brought together jazz, classical, world and dance music and combined those in the most organic way to create something utterly new and unique. For my money, she was the greatest musician on the planet in the 90s.

[@rhudaurr5009]

her stretch from debut to medúlla is just on another level

[@cm0006]

She still is, in my opinion

[@rickmorrow993]

I would have loved to hear a collaboration of Bjork with George Crumb.

[@hugov27]

it is pop music indeed, though

[@rickmorrow993]

@@hugov27 It is pop music in the sense that ketchuo is a tomator because ketchuo has tomatoes in it. It is pop jazz classical electronic fusion.

[@paulmclaine6413]

Well I die every time she talks sings or moves.

[@NoxGigasStudy]

Fond memories of this, aired on Nov, 21st 1993! I recorded the show on a VCR…My birthday is the 22nd, it was like a special gift at midnight. I turned 27… Bjorks Birthday is the 21st she would have been 28. I saw her live in 2007 at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State. She started her show at midnight then. Quantum Entangled 30 years! ❤Bjork then and now 😎

[@phildanus6962]

"I love making music, it's my favorite" such a relatable statement from such a fun person.

[@bjamiork]

This version of Come To Me just makes me melt...I really, really wish Björk and Jamiroquai could've jammed together in the early/mid 90s, they would've come up with something incredible as hell.

The two musicians I really had a crush on back in the day were Kate Bush and Björk. Both so incredibly unique and ingenious and with an amazing sensuality, charisma and transcendent beauty.

[@BjorksMusic]

Here is a Bjork triple-play - First an interview then singing 'Come to Me' and 'Aeroplane' accompanied by her band. From MTV's 120 Minutes on 21 November 1993.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

BjorksMusic This was on her birthday. 😄

[@BjorksMusic]

June Asiimwe Cool, did not know that :)

[@joelchristman181]

Sometimes talent is so great it overcomes every barrier so easily you think "this can't be real". Marylin Monroe was like that. The Beatles were like that (when being from Liverpool wasn't an advantage). There is something about Bjork, being from almost an inconsequential place in time, that felt like she was untamed by the world as it was. She always exceeded expectations. Always.

[@mistabook]

The guy playing tabla is fucking excellent.

[@francismartin2427]

Touch my soul Bjork!!!😘

[@johnamaral1786]

Love this bare bones (Bjork backed by a quartet) virtually acoustic (electric piano) rendition of Come to Me, which happens to be one of my favorite Bjork songs.

[@TORIN111]

John Amaral isn't it magical?

[@johnamaral1786]

TORIN111 That's Bjork!

[@mjp96]

that song is so beautiful and, for my money, the original triphop song!

[@jessemshelton]

I have so much respect for Bjork artisticly. I really enjoy her live sets online, wish she would come to Vegas sometime...

[@tinarider9945]

Bjork a little sweet,amazing ice princess..❤🦄💋

[@johnamaral1786]

The performances are live and intimate. That's what MTV did best.

[@hybred3969]

I love the way she talks and express herself in all the ways she does.

[@natashatoon1938]

Such a big voice!

Cuando escuché Come to me, fue amor a primer... oído? Desde entonces la escucho a diario 💜 es tan atrapante

[@rr7firefly]

Amazing how well she speaks English, with so much naturalness. Lewis says at 4:12 exactly what I was thinking -- she speaks in this instance with a noticeable British accent.

[@nord1967sur]

The first comment on this page is rather hilarious. In fairness to the commenter, she's quite outwardly flirty and exuding sexuality in her body language in this interview. Or, could be nerves, or both.
