Ellen ten Damme sings Nina Hagen

[@hairyreddick]

I think it takes balls, courage and ability to tackle a nina masterpiece, this girl does it quite well. people are so stupid to think that the girl is trying to copy, she likes the song so she is singing it, it demostrates the amazing ability it takes, and the vocal range of the singer, and this girl rocks it. great going!

[@SoulMoonChild54]

mike hawk I totally agree with you that it takes balls to tackle a masterpiece from the legendary Nina Hagen. But don’t you think it’s a bit stupid to call other people stupid for “thinking” Ellen is imitating/copying/impersonating Nina Hagen ?? Look at the woman... she dresses up like Nina, she does her hair like Nina, she even tries to imitate Nina’s unique facial expressions... seems like impersonating an artist to me... And I have no doubt whatsoever that this lady has star qualities, I don’t really know her and her work or genre. She just doesn’t get the credits from some people because she imitates a person with a very unique style. Unlike other people on this forum I disagree with the statement that she adds something to the song. We all know who Nina Hagen is now don’t we ? Personally, in my humble opinion, Ellen didn’t do a bad job, but she would have had more credits without the whole “impersonating act”. Her voice isn’t bad at all, so if she would have performed just as Ellen, Ellen with her own personality, then maybe she would have added something personal to the song. Maybe I’m stupid too, but I’m not blind.... just saying...

[@MartinMaat]

She is a relatively well known artist in the Netherlands and I must say I am surprised to hear she can do this. She is known for being versatile but this is really good. And for the copying, that is sort of the point. She did a Blondie tribute tour too. It is not supposed to be original, it is a celebration of the music of artists from the past.

[@jorgeo9495]

Holy s**t!! I would never expect anyone to tackle a cover of this Nina Hagen gem!! I figured only Nina had the ability to hit those ridiculously impossible notes. With hats off, well done!! Brava my dear, brava!!!

[@Alicia1984NL]

How can anyone be negative about this performance? She is such a great vocalist. Also, the clothing and the performance is a combination of Ellen herself and Nina Hagen, it's not just an imitation.

[@juankenon]

Why all the hate? No one can top Nina, but this is highly competent.Do better yourself.

[@buitenmaatje1008]

Ellen, dank je wel. Overwelmed by your interpretation of life. You should stay forever to fill our soul.

[@webgrunt]

A fascinating performance and worthy tribute to Nina.

[@madrereus16]

it s not fair, she was playing with fire trying to cover nina hagen, nina hagen is a hard one, nobody can top her she is unique from bottom to top.

[@mcouzijn]

Of course this is sheer epigonism, and of course Nina is better. Ellen would be the first to admit that. What remains - if one succeeds in opening their ears and eyes - is a fantastic performance of a fantastic song, grace to Ellen. It we we skip the question on whether one may step in Nina's shoes, the next question is: who *can* step and *dares* to step in her shoes, and not fall flat on their face? That's Ellen ten Damme. She takes nothing away from Nina, but adds. Kudos!

[@romamegalopolis469]

Only *Nina Hagen* can sing this song. The only two other singers that could easily hit all the countless notes of _Naturträne_ are *Mina Mazzini* and *Diamanda Galas.*

[@SoulMoonChild54]

Roma Megalopolis In my humble opinion only Nina Hagen owns this song... I adore Diamanda Galas, she’s a unique person and artist too, but in her own genre. I agree, Diamanda has an immense vocal range, but her style is darker whilst Nina’s style is way more colourful. Don’t get me wrong, Diamanda is a wonderful performer and artist, but some things are just not to be copied or impersonated. The same goes for Diamanda Galas, I’ve never seen anyone impersonating her, she’s too unique in her own genre ....

[@Morganafrischmann]

Sí, Nina es la mejor, pero realmente esta interpretación me ha dejado sin habla. Fantástica.

[@shaileshkris]

Cant find Nina Hagens Naturtrane on spotify, have to listen to this instead! Its good though! But Nina Hagen gives me the right chills

[@maribelmn6021]

Aquí tienes la de Nina Hagen Un saludo:

[@Myria83]

I didn't believe there was a singer out there who could cover this song without being ridicolous... O_O I'm impressed!

[@adamlunter2445]

Beautiful cover and excellent tribute to Nina and her definition-defying song!

[@stevetolman6652]

nice interpretation, I liked how she stayed in her vocal range, and used the guitar to cover the flow of the song in spots...smart people make good music!!

[@marcribe6483]

A very solid performance of a very difficult song to sing.

[@sobreatarde1]

Ninguém substitui Nina nem mesmo tu brutus, Nina é inigualavel. A maior de todas!

[@alexeicosio]

gut dass sie es versucht, i think wonderful that she tries it, because no one tried it before...even Nina nowadays cant sing that song with the same voice...

[@huubmaas6686]

absolute wereldklasse Ellen waanzinnig goed gedaan.

[@TranceofHaterd]

Ellen ten Damme is a great artist and so Beautiful.

[@hairyreddick]

The more I see this the more a appreciate, it, and her, what a great effort by a talented great looking girl. much more success.

[@hansdieteren2058]

Ge-wel-dig!

[@robkramers8702]

Zo mooi, tranen, kippenvel.

[@feyth85]

This is awesome. I love Ellen ten Damme, and she does a great job doing Naturtrane. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@didiox88]

enfin encore beaucoup de travail pour pouvoir concurrencé nina exceptionnel.....

[@passiefrucht]

Maybe she's not the same as Nina, but she is one of the best singers I know.

[@margriet2038]

Geweldig ik dacht dat het Nina was , Ellen heel knap

[@eniogoncalves6861]

Loved it

[@cloudwalker86]

I saw Ellen live tonight and her performance of this song really blew me away. It's not about being better than Nina, this sort of singing style is just completely different from what she normally does (singer/songwriter and rocky stuff). Of course it doesn't surpass the original.

[@Alicia1984NL]

Pfff.. Ellen has so much talent.. you have got to admire her for this performance. Of course she's not Nina Hagen, but she's not trying to.. she's just herself giving us a great version of the song.

[@gordonspond]

Very good version.

[@yurigaryruabalboa305]

Nina is the best of the world

[@MurmilloTV1]

Das ist sehr gut - very good!

[@atrox779]

She did a Great job on this song. If anybody thinks she sucks then You do it and post it as a vid response. Im waiting.

[@ghovingh]

Very, in the North of the Netherlands there lies that one city of G r o n i n g e n. Interesting lady, mind her carrier. Ellen ten Damme

[@leenient]

She did a good job. :-)

[@roniboy]

MUITO FODA!!! Nina é Nina, porém essa releitura é sinistra pq ninguém é corajoso o suficiente pra sequer tentar essa música, e além de interpretar a música com maestria ela performa com muita ousadia!!!

[@TheHerrrob11]

Even though I think you meant to write " 35 people are deaf," I think your mistake makes your comment more interesting and certainly fits in with the gothic, romatic feel of the song.

[@hommedelamer]

c'est le même feeling que pink floyd, cool...

[@annettewind6248]

Nina Hagen gezien 45 jr. geleden!!

[@willemf58]

Ellen's best, top performance.

[@KatarinaPtolemaios]

nothing compares to Nina

[@BoudewijnvanHouten]

Nice interpretation of this Dutch beautiful woman.

[@iheartwillow]

wow, she does a pretty good job. i like how she made certain parts her own. but i love this song. it's just amazing.

[@romamegalopolis469]

Only *Nina Hagen* can sing this song. The only two other singers that could easily hit all the countless notes of _Naturträne_ are *Mina Mazzini* and *Diamanda Galas.*

[@zpromi448]

What about Tarja Turunen?

[@joyclark7530]

Roma Megalopolis I like Cordeiro's version.

[@zackgraves7765]

why do yall think tht music must be a competition? ellen's voice is wonderful and they're all clearly having fun with the cover. they did great

[@BangNiceShot]

Not bad at all, but in my opinion some songs and performances belong forever to the original artist.That's a part of the magic of music...can't listen, can't watch it entirely from heart.

[@opusquatre]

Totally disagree.. We are only passing thru, music will remain after we're gone..

[@jh5kl]

a great tribute 👍👍👍🤘🤘

[@jesuslovesu5508]

She is funny crazy girl she sings ahua ahuua ahau aha

[@annevdhoogen]

wow! so gooood!! great video

[@unclesaruman]

well, it´s a great cover ;) i love it very much :)

[@yurigaryruabalboa305]

Good

[@mentalmortiis]

Great thing Ellen, thanks!!

[@Manix1999]

Of course she is. But this is still a very good performance. Isn't it?

[@TheNeonRabbit]

She has a strong voice but using it to try to do Nina Hagen's act is just sad

[@randomuser1962]

U right bro, Nina It is just incredible

[@sandrostroppa1964]

Nina the best

[@jandenhollander]

@SoulMoonChild54 The amazing talentful thing with Ellen is give her a bass guitar and she is doing as a fish in the water the whole ummagumma saucer full of secrets thing of Roger Waters carefull with that axe Eugene, hey teacher, leave them kids alone, all in all you're just another brick in the wall I'm dreaming of a white Chrismas let's do PEACE on Earth forever!

[@marleenboonstra2386]

Awesome cover!

[@MurmilloTV1]

Yes, she is Dutch, but she knows English and German. She's also a good actress, e. g. in "Bang Boom Bang", "Fickende Fische" and "Das Leuchten der Sterne".

[@fyodoroprichnikbasma]

I just fell in love :/

[@janukasinski3874]

She sounds like Beata Kozidrak

[@juankenon]

This is bloddy dreadful, I have to hand it for her for having the gall but none of the talent to pull this AMAZING tune off

[@janklamer]

never seen this - ellen is a great performer - however i still like the original even better. the joke with the mic at the end gives me a nice association (ha ha dirty mind here)

[@IngraIssdottir]

I'm totally agree with you! ;)

[@jss1ca3]

damn

[@AnneloesF]

Zo!!

[@willardjansen]

op 1 na de beste

[@tubejuhku]

Please,give us a break. You´ll never be Nina Hagen!!!!!!

[@ilegnah303]

genial!Ela burla todos os signos do gênero dramático... A cena final com o microfone merece todas as ambiguidades possíveis...

[@bifrostnazgul5862]

Buen cover

[@iheartwillow]

hmm....interesting. i think i prefer nina though.

[@knarrie1966]

Publiek op de tribune helemaal geshockeerd ☺️🎸🎸🎸

[@Patsik]

Nice try. But Nina is kicks her ass anyday!

[@BrotherAngstrom]

Nice drumming.

[@mcseasalt1]

I don´t know preivious work from this girl. She sings o.k, but why to try with Naturträne existing Nina? Edson Cordeiro gives a good point out of itl But this girl has done a bad choice.

[@HerInfernalMajesty13]

She can sing, but she tries to act like Nina too much. This song is so typically Nina Hagen, no one can cover it 'good' or better than the original.

[@Rosky12]

@HerInfernalMajesty13 I think singing in the correct style would force you to act a little different

[@cx6wieler]

Leuke poging Ellen, wel jammer dat je haar qua kleding nadoet. Had liever gezien dat je deze performance had gedaan als je eigen ik!!!

[@HerInfernalMajesty13]

I completely agree upon that! She seems to be a good singer indeed, but she just tries to hard.

[@leifjellow]

yes, she is too pathetic but it is a very good cover. Fantastic Im(Ex-)pression !!!

[@AbsintheMinded777]

there is only one Nina Hagen. why would anyone think they can replicate her? This irritates me. She even tries to copy the eye moves and signature features of Nina, and wearing clothes just like her. Can't copy an original, but you can be yourself.

[@SoulMoonChild54]

I’m sure this lady has top qualities as a performer/actress etc... I don’t really know her, but to me personally, trying to impersonate the epic Nina Hagen is just something you don’t want to do, it’s kinda dangerous .... Nina Hagen is a very unique artist in every way possible, an artist with a tremendous vocal range and a personality that was (and maybe still is to some people) very controversial back in the late 70’s and later. To me Nina Hagen is a true personification of art, inside and outside, she breathes art.... I’m sure this is well meant, and I don’t want to criticise this lady, but I didn’t like it, sorry....

[@HerInfernalMajesty13]

Nina Hagen is way better. Nina really is crazy and doesn't have to pretend. That's why she's amazing. This girl just isn't. And she can't sing as good as Nina.

[@zeeeend]

This lady is Dutch,correct.

[@ComaLies225]

I don't think the voice suits the cover.

[@harinkie]

Ellen moet eens leren om van andermans liedjes af te blijven

[@martingrinder-col]

The end is terrible,but her passion could save it...

[@TheHerrrob11]

Uebrigens hast du " 35 Leute sind der Tod" geschrieben.

[@randomtoxy]

A pale copy. You cannot just sing the notes and expect it to sound as profound as Nina Hagen. This version has no heart.

[@patrickhenrique9916]

Esse microfone na boca foi podre😂

[@fn1000000]

not bad, but she has no voice, she only screams and squeaks where Nina has a powerful sound...

[@gregbutcher_musicplacecheck12]

yes she can't be like Nina, this girl has shaved her arm pits. lol

[@SoulMoonChild54]

Greg Butcher back in the 70’s or the 80’s people were not like they are in the present, empty shells and superficial nitwits. Nina was a punk singer, punk was not mainstream..... hairy armpits... who cares ??

[@THEMYSTOCLES]

Eu teria vergonha de fazer esse papelão, horrível!!!!!!!

[@zacstamatakis9212]

Sehr schlecht.

[@chafunras]

Bitte bitte aufhören, bitte ich sage ja alles, aber bitte aufhören!

[@gavinj90]

If you're going to cover a song, at least make it your own. She sings it well, but trying too hard to "be" Nina. It all comes across as a bit pathetic really, whixh is a shame because this girl can sing.

[@mistar-t]

очень очень слабенько

[@Alwe1rdo]

retejong bar slecht!

[@mentalmortiis]

why tumbs down, go and waste your time elsewhere!!

[@silva_gabby]

NINA HAGEN IS WAY BETTER!!!!!!!!

[@ComaLies225]

Her voice isn't suited for this song.

[@EduardDewey]

Instrumental 5* Voice 3* .... she started well...but...when it starts to be Nina Hagen...it was kind awful...

[@Gaoriri]

hässlich...
