Björk Interview

Jonathan Ross interviews Björk.

[@grumpycat1919]

My god Jonathan. Those Eskimo jokes are just awful.

[@Oooo-bi7bi]

Yeah I couldn’t believe that either . Just get her relaxed and settled in with some seventies discrimination humour to her face. Then insult her dress sense. Is he jealous when faced with a truly unique talented woman .

[@therealKINDLE]

She was bored shitless here. You know when she's being asked the right questions because she comes alive & gets very animated. Here she is just putting up with Ross' bullshit due to her sweet nature. She'd much rather talk about music if the plonker would only ask about it but that would take the spotlight off of Jonathan Ross for a while. Heaven forbid.

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

Agreed.

[@astroboirap]

KINDLE I call bullshit

[@petshopboyspartnership]

KINDLE You were sooo right and her laugh or more of a super cute giggle-laugh... Almost a fuck off and let me get in with it.. And the Eskimo shit gets old.. She even mentioned it at the beginning saying everyone always says that.. But he kept on

[@jeffreybail353]

iceland people had a revolution in about 2012 they took back the power from the bankers and politicians that wanted to bankrupt the island. know one talks about this important event i wonder why... Another fact is that soldiers are not allowed to vote i wonder why? maybe because they would be a threat to the nwo?

[@lolipopPrincess]

I remember a fabulous time when I used to watch Bjork videos here on youtube and nobody mentioned anything about Lady GaGa. Gooood times.

[@EverybodyLovesMaria]

I can't believe she'e more that 35 here!... Optical illusion!!! Her voice will be always tricking people into thinking she's 20. :-)

[@iamrichlol]

She's so awkwardly adorable

[@eosphoroussanchez4551]

I don't understand why every interview has to be "You're weird as fuck. Iceland is fucking cold huh? Okay bye."

[@thomasalexanderwade8850]

She's such a performer! She seems to replicate the accent of whoever she's speaking to. Here she's talking to a Londoner and has a bit of a cockney accent, whereas I've seen her in German interviews with a thick German accent. Proper character.

[@SkemeKOS]

She is fucking awesome lol

[@ireneangelucci8513]

yep.

[@elijah800]

she sound british sometimes

[@chasethemace]

elijah800 A lot of Icelandics do

[@MM-vs2et]

@@chasethemace I don't think so. I think's it's just the fact that she grew up in London

[@chasethemace]

[@markheadroom]

"are you an eskimo?" "why aren't you blonde" goodness he's an offensive chap. Not surprised doesn't know what medulla means.

[@akuma4u]

shes so damn cute

[@lolzbb1]

Omg Katya is so funny in this interview!

[@Ms2hedgehog]

yes all stars 2 is incredible so far !!

[@Anna101shark]

Yasss!

[@gibsondanny]

#TeamKatya what the fuck is katya. Someone mentions it on every cunting bjork video

[@Anna101shark]

Danny Pearce Katya is an amazing drag queen!

[@gibsondanny]

Does He/she dress like bjork or something then. Fair enough haha

[@moqq4275]

Wot a jerk. Keeps giving her backhanded compliments

[@gerharddeusser9103]

That doesn't affect her in the least.!

[@andrewsimpson5818]

The joke was racist BUT Bjork handled the joke well and it wasn't funny. Nobody uses the Eskimo anymore it is obsolete.

[@DenisYutbr]

what's wrong being eskimo/inuit? maybe the racist is YOU?

[@MateuszTrocha]

astroboirap Calm yourself down, bloody hell.

[@astroboirap]

***** lol sorry. was getting a bit heated there.

[@ternitamas]

I was cringing, so awkward

[@Konoronn]

Who decided it is obsolete? Eskimo sounds more interesting than Inuit.

[@kristianarode5881]

She is so cute and different, what an artists

[@noradosmith]

I think she should have a side career of recording audiobooks. Such a lovely voice!

[@SoreEyeMusic]

It's interresting how Björk seems to get a bit uncomfortable at the end with the way he kinda... flirts with her xD

[@SebastienCade]

Um really I can't watch Bjork on KZbin without seeing gaga-type comments everywhere. It's ridiculous! I've loved Bjork since I was 14, I'm now 21 and actually like Lady Gaga for what she is. But the two aren't even in the same category! Not even sort of. Just stop it, seriously. Bjork is an amazing musician, Gaga is a good "pop" star. They don't intertwine.

[@mango.discoo]

[@Tintenfischchen]

If I had the chance to interview one of the greatest artists of our time, I would definitely do my research, so I wouldn't embarrass myself by asking if Iceland is where 'the Eskimos' live! And I wouldn't tell anybody that I needed to look this up... you should KNOW that Iceland is NOT where 'the eskimos' live... it's called general education!

[@MarcNeilson1]

You know it's joke

[@Tintenfischchen]

Oh, okay, didn't know that... I still don't think it was a good joke, but that's just my opinion...

[@GrahamBarth]

***** Well, you know, there is all those various awards she's won, such as grammies, and also golden globes. She's been featured in many "Top ___ of all time" lists, and she had an app inducted into the Museum of Modern Art. Which, for whatever it's worth, was the first of its kind. You don't have to like Bjork, but she's definitely one of the more influential musicians out there. I mean, you SHOULD like Bjork, but if you're stupid or something it's totally okay. I mean, I like Bjork, and this is coming from a guy who typically listens to classic rock, death metal and hip hop. Try to be more open minded--I think you'll find you enjoy things more, and find more things to enjoy!

[@Tintenfischchen]

Yes, you're right. You don't have to like Björk or her music, but you definitely should appreciate that she's been a well-respected and very innovative artist for a long time. That's a fact, not an opinion!

[@Tintenfischchen]

No need to get mad and swear at people you don't even know... Maybe it's 'british humour' (which I normally like, btw), but this guy just isn't funny IN MY OPINION... And humour is a matter of taste, there's no ultimate definition for what's funny and what's not...

[@xwexarexbulletsx]

Her accent, her voice, her smiles, her everything, she's a hell of a unique girl :D

[@NPjazzsaxmusic]

@zombiiination if you do some research, you'll find that not only does Gaga do mostly her own material, but she has been employed as a songwriter by Sony for a load of major artists. I'll agree that she employs a facade of originality rather than really showing any, but she does have musical talent in lots of areas. Not just a pretty, marketable face.

[@RetroPlus]

Bjork is purposefully rolling her R's just to flex on Jonathon Ross

[@alvareo92]

I appreciate your creativity, you're adding a bit to Icelandic mithology, LMAO!!

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

just got to 30 seconds in ..you are from iceland lol predictable

[@whiterabbit5491]

i just love watching her interviews XD

[@sinksinkswim]

Jonathan Ross always uses gambits to break the ice so the person being interviewed will feel more relaxed, which in turn makes the interview flow better. In this case he uses stereotypes, which could cause offence in the wrong setting but the light-heartedness with which he delivers them shows there's no malice in what he's saying.

[@1gaia]

@tiarnan76 My dear (...ummm...person of undisclosed gender? No! Actually, i'm going to venture that you Sir, are...well...a) Sir, It causes me much dismay to hear of your recent "close call". A collapse of one's nerve is assuredly unpropitious, and quite paradoxically may incite a brittle disposition henceforth. I am of course no physician, however, my female shrewdness compels me to prescribe a brisk walk succeeded by tea of a wallpaper stripping potency. A staunch panacea. PTO

[@veggievampire]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when she says she felt like she felt she was theatrical at the Oscars. And that the rest of it was even more so. That makes a world of sense. Aww. I never saw this interview. So great!

[@JessJArt]

Absolutely, she lays eggs wearing an adorable swan dress while the circus whirls on around her. She is very down to earth in my book. Love her always.

[@AutonomousOblast]

Her music and image scare the fuck out of me but in interviews she seems so normal. I like that

[@1gaia]

@tiarnan76 cont. Perhaps I am still naive of years, but I have yet happened upon such idioms as "satchel of shit" and "fiddily biddly flappability". They did however provoke a few illicit giggles, at which I trust you are not displeased. Your inference of my intentions (grammatical and otherwise) being nothing other than pure, leaves me truly gratified. You are evidently a man of the world, not to mention honour. Yours faithfully Lady H of KZbin

[@3rdseal]

björk and jonathan ross....what a great interview! :D

[@Vindrag]

Björk is an inspiration! A unique person and singer-songwriter. After 3 visits on her Volta tour I am from now on her biggest fan (in my world) "Det är i våra händer" /Sweden

[@1gaia]

@tiarnan76 Ahh I see...yes that's true in some contexts. This however isn't one of them. There's also the OTHER meaning. Here it is from the dictionary just so there's no room for quibbles. :) Adj. 1. mutually exclusive - unable to be both true at the same time. Hope this provides some clarification. I did however adorn "coexist" with a needless (not to mention thankless!) extra "s", if somehow that causes disruption or anguish, well then, my sentiment can only be that of contrition. ;)

[@user-po5bi6jb9g]

Virgin Mary festival or summin

[@noizyme]

Man, she's so nice and creative and a real gem, yet so many people are on her for that damn dress. Who gives a fuck? That's how you truly live as a creative soul who gets bored by mediocrity and shakes things up. Good for her.

[@LeonTrimble]

right on. he's also boring.

[@radioheadtv3131]

Thom Yorke was in his talk show and I just keep thinking how Thom is obsessed with her voice and said so many times in his interviews and uses her voice as an example of brilliance in music.

[@rebeccaburden9205]

ahhh triumph of a heart!!!!

[@slh950]

looking back, that swan dress was stunning on her

[@scareglare]

Why does she speak in a different accent in this interview, as opposed to other interviews? She has such a British accent here, but in other videos she'll speak differently. How interesting!

[@rlmush]

He's being quite the racist... I doubt it's intentional, but still.

[@MartinSlovakian]

His English is very difficult for me to understand, Björk speaks more nicely than he!

[@aceventurapetdetective2356]

She couldn't wait to get away..lol

[@Blooodhail]

Wow, Jonathan Ross interviewed Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood in 2003, now Bjork, that's awesome! :D

[@Swearw0rd]

She has 17 different accents

[@tonygray7804]

He's not qualified to kiss her ring...

[@masync183]

Bjork is honestly the most adorable person I've ever seen. Then she opens her mouth and you either fall asleep or have your ears shredded. I just love her voice and her personality.

[@EverybodyLovesMaria]

I can't say what i do love to listen most - her voice during singing or during talking??

[@DasUberCow]

Frosti is such a great song. Björk is awesome.

[@russellbonell]

i well fancy her and of course love her music and just everything about her really

[@sweepersmusic]

Absinthe? haha, i love this woman

[@MonkeyKex]

shes so lovely

[@CelticMudkip]

You can tell she gets a bit annoyed. Like with the puffin "You can have that" "Yeah, I know" Ahahaha XD Bjork never hides herself. -Celtic Mudkip-

[@Thommo100]

She is so unique, beautiful, talented, sweet and funny. She is simply an amazing artist and person. All hail Bjork!

[@earinsound]

i've never even heard lady gaga...i've been able to avoid everything except her image. bjork is cool. and she has an english accent!

[@hannahbanana1423]

she's really good in interviews, funny!

[@monsterlady6]

Björk is the best!!!!!!

[@Marioland32]

I am sorry but Gaga is more similar to Bjork than Madonna. The media try to compare Madonna and Gaga cause of the enormous success that Gaga has. Something that Madonna tasted as well in her "hey hey" days. Since I was a teen when "Debut" was released I have this to say. Bjork and Lady Gaga are real artists. Madonna has some artistic moments in her musical career but definitely not like those 2 ladies.

[@zombiiination]

@camelotgeorge33 i Seriously doubt she wirtes her own music, she may contribute in some way, but most of it is done by producers and record lables. She is a commercial package, everything about her is designed to sell and nothing more. I'll deny lada gaga has talent. SHe can sing, certainly. but thats it. The music thats being produced under her name is nothing but following th etrend of pop nowadays, thers nothing fundamentally orignial with her, only the image that shes original

[@thundermorphine]

So glad the presenter makes an effort to pronounce her name correctly and I hope others will follow his example. I'm tired of this "Bjåårk"-shit. Thought Icelandic pronounced the "Ö" as the swedes, Danes and norwegians. Proves me wrong. And in case you didn't know already, "Björk" literally means Birch.

[@alexlyth5056]

his hair!... Amazing

[@ThatKatyaKid]

@cheerskiwi look, i'm a huge bjork fan, but you can't just blindly deny lady gaga's talent. please,give me thumbs down after you'll type "lady gaga - speechless live" and listen to one of the best songs ever. PS: bjork is fantastic, she's such a beautiful woman!

[@1gaia]

@tiarnan76 Shame. Oh and by the way, I have little interest in "The Great Climate Change Ruse", I do however delight in "Gaia Theory", a wholly different concept (look it up...if you wanna...it's cool...check out James Lovelock...or don't...but do).

[@rynsalesbian]

I love Bjork AND Gaga, and it would be lovely if everybody would stop saying one of them doesn't have talented. Because, it may be shocking but people that you're not a fan of CAN be talented and two female singers CAN both be talented.

[@Hyperuniverse1]

Um, yeah I have a sense of humor. Don't know exactly where you're going, what you're trying to say or why you said that in the first place. Does this have to do with me saying that she got a li'l insulted in the beginning of the interview?

[@tylerfrump15]

Why are you guys bringing up Lady Gaga in a Bjork video and starting pointless arguments? Stop comparing! They're both great, very different artists. It's annoying when everyone constantly argues over who's better.

[@oct579]

@KevPageUK yes you so right just because we heard her on radio that she good lady Gaga is nothink she did create nothink Bjork create avery think video, music, all are not the same just go see all her video

[@jpastuch]

I'm from the states so forgive me, but what accent is Jonathon Ross'? What region? Because it's a really fucking annoying accent and I've never heard anyone speak quite like he does...maybe it's just him...

[@ROXIO7]

Agreed. Lady Gaga is party-party-get-high-get-drunk-dance-in-your-underwear music, and if that's your thing, cool. but Bjork has made me cry, has made me think, and yeah, dance, but not in a slutty, trashy way, but in the purest, happiest sense of dance.

[@qpwo6]

@trueaudience well whether you try to be weird or not, it's the end result that counts, if Lady Gaga sticks around long enough she might do some good stuff, she's only been around a few years.

[@grlsrfrfggs]

i think gaga its talented i her own way and i kind of think she is hot lol, this is not about talent ,talent comes in differente way, the difference its that bjork its a blessed human being .

[@knealebrown]

hes not an idiot but this interview is one of the worst ive seen him do, he doesn't ask anything of any relevance or interest. Usually he is very good and funny but here he just comes across as patronizing

[@sammyh1982]

I don't understand the appeal of Jonathan Ross. I've seen several interviews of his and he always makes the most crass, asinine, cringe-worthy observations. On top of it, HE'S NOT FUNNY.

[@CaptainPond]

Lady Gaga not talented? Erm, that's not true. And another difference between Lady Gaga is level of popularity. I like Bjork, but there''s no need to bag out other artists :)

[@LightofBeauty]

i don't think he is mocking her....the british just have this way of making fun of other people more out of good jest than "mocking"...obviously bjork does have a sense of humor !

[@kliudrsfhlih]

@sneekz07 I'm sure english is not your second language, I'm from Mexico and I don't change my accent from mexican to british unless i want so, to me she is obviously changing them on purpose.

[@flx2525]

The swan dress is the most famous outfit of all time!

[@AmyAberrant]

@wipers86 Tbh you can't really take a legal stand on someone wearing an outfit...

[@1gaia]

Also, what's with all the Lady Gaga comparisons? Are they mutually exclusive all of a sudden? Can't two individuals coexists as themselves alone anymore?

[@3rdseal]

not really....i think he seems to be very pleased to have her in his show....and the kind of humour he uses does work really well with both of them :)

[@Politicub]

he wasnt making fun, it was banta, which is why she was laughing. if he made fun of her, she wouldnt have agreed to come back for a second invterview...

[@ReflectiveMind777]

@lolipopPrincess Probably it would have stayed so if you didn't mention her and if people stopped supporting it by putting likes on any comment with her name.

[@TakunaNuva]

@MRMATRONIC It's Björk. The ö is kinda pronounced 'ugh'. I wouldn't worry about it too much; most English speakers'd just say 'Bjork'.

[@Barracuda007]

@AlasdairGrant i hear that friend, i was searching bjork videos and when I saw this and jonathan ross i knew this would painful interview.

[@Hyperuniverse1]

Right before he asked if there lived eskimos in iceland she grew a serious face and said no. Not saying she was offended all the time.

[@lep04ivp]

Well, I dont like lady gaga at all, I can see now who she is copying. Bjork is so natural and honest , lady gaga is such a copy cat!!

[@GHOSTIPOD90]

I love lady gaga and im not a huge bjork fan in fact im just discovering her and to be honest lady gaga ripped of bjork

[@Zyphera]

I love björk. But im getting sick of all those Gaga comment! Can you please stop talking about her everywhere everytime!

[@goldphishez]

they gave you a -5 for a rating on your comment but you were complimenting lady gaga and bjork! HOW IS THAT BAD?!?!?

[@JktuUekmw]

It's surreal to me that some people who have posted their commens here can get Bjork, but can't get Jonathan Ross :))

[@Frozensmokeprod]

her accent is getting messed up by the world, some parts of this interview is with a brit's accent. LIke around 1:02

[@alvareo92]

Why don't the interviewers inform themselves??? She's been asked THOUSANDS of times about the fcking eskimo thing...

[@Alkali64]

@MRMATRONIC yes, she said somewhere that it's pronounced with an 'e' not an 'o'. check it out with PJ Harvey.

[@JunioVRezende]

Is there someone really comparing Bjork and Lady Gaga? Aren't we talking about MUSIC here? Please, gentlemen...

[@TheBlackswanlover]

Why is Gaga being constantley compared to Bjork and Madonna? All 3 are great artists and are all differant.

[@Alan95Haitch]

@TheMCC14 well, obviously not, Lady GaGa has the highest video views on KZbin so she must be the best

[@argosboy01]

Lady Gaga is a weed compared to this living, breathing Mother of Nature. This is a fact by the way.
