She is absolutely terrific!

[@kevinw.3330]

Thank you all I love folk music, I live in Washington State USA. I have a huge collection of folk music like Ani DiFranco, Ben Harper, The Carter Family, Charlie Poole, are just some of my favorites. And the folk songs your family sings I can't get enough, I just love the sweet songs of your music. Thank you, Kevin from USA I love you all

[@thefarmer4586]

I adore this family.

[@trpr5049]

I live in Canada and I really enjoy her yodeling. She has a lot of talent. Thank God we are privileged to see and hear her on internet.

[@JJR53]

My Dear you have won my heart and I love you family May god bless you all

[@VladislavGomulka]

Melanie Oesch And her mom And the rest Are the BEST!

[@TheBobSnap]

I think the entire family is very talented in their own ways and they are awesome as a group!

[@bodhiarlo6909]

You probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the new movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last days =)

[@zaiddakota5770]

@Bodhi Arlo Definitely, have been using Instaflixxer for since november myself :D

[@gerardbertrand4223]

Comment ne pas aimer et apprécier Melanie, pour sa gentillesse, son talent et sa beauté

[@davidm587]

Wonderful ! She is keeping this folk music alive . Bravo 👏

[@TheLakhbirsingh]

Great...she is amazing!!!

[@mwngw]

I've only discovered traditional Volksmusik Schlager one year ago, and Oesch's Die Dritten along with all the wonderful performers of Bavarian and Swiss Schlager. The notation says this video was published in 2008, but it could have been filmed earlier....it's not clear when this was filmed and recorded. It may be unusual for an American to be attracted to traditional Schlager, but I was instantly a fan after coming across the "Der Deutsche Hitmix" videos of the German Music Channel. I figured if I watched more Schlager videos daily, I could relearn the German I had been taught in my youth. Hah, German is not an easy language, and relearning the vocabulary is a challenge. But then....the Bavarian's dialects and German usage is very different. But the Swiss and Oesch's Die Dritten are almost completely different in their pronunciation. Last, Melanie Oesch is a profoundly beautiful woman. I do wonder how old she is in 2019? Gruss aus den USA!!

[@DavidsonofStanley]

Beautiful reward for everyone, having a close and loving family that works and plays together.

[@ilililhy1]

I am impressed. Greetings from AMERICA ,keep up the yodeling

[@1986billyk]

Yeah I've become a spontaneous Melanie fan Hope she becomes huge not only in Europe but in America as well

[@YGH10]

There is no doubt that Melanie is a great artist at an international scale. This sublime folk music, which conveys the spirit of the magnificent Switzerland, brings so much beauty, joy and elation.

[@curtite]

Great to know there is young blood still yodeling. Best i can do is sound like Tarzan and have traveled far south back in spring of 2007 to hear a professional, Kerry Christensen, in the Smoky Mountains. But is refreshing to hear a woman's voice. Hope to here more of Melanie's voice. :-)

[@amandadavies..]

Such an amazing family. Love them so much.

[@MrNasc]

Sie ist so eine wunderschöner Frau!

[@williamcooper5341]

Very sweet to see this. Thanks.

[@bcdvideo]

Melanie, you have such an amazing talent1 Your singing puts a smile on my face from ear to ear... :)

[@vasectomyfail442]

they work really hard at making great music, they actually play instruments, she's beautiful and talented and keeps her clothes on, etc etc, yet people make fun of me when i listen to this. it's really shameful how "talent" is portrayed now in music.

[@claraesfie]

I'm with you. My brother laughs at my love for yodel, but I don't care, it's lovely and harmonious ♡

[@nildagudino4805]

My friends make fun of me as well but I love their music! They make me feel better always.. 🇲🇽

[@DougDreamCatcher]

@Mooshpups The show "Doug" took my first name in vain! After hearing this beautiful young lady unleash her equally lovely voice, I know I'll never hate the sound of yodeling again!

[@wakeupamerica4610]

I get confused looks because i love yodeling..i live calif and am from hawaii....lolololol but this family their music make smile.

[@christosmit1125]

Very very nice. I enjoyed listening.

[@spinnettdesigns]

Sooooo wonderful to see this darling young woman be so wholesome in her words and dress; beautiful graciousness without being affected...Not that she’s perfect, no one is, but she is most certainly a stand out among her peers, also trying to make a name for themselves through flashy and trashy, undignified behavior, to say the least.

[@louisegogel7973]

Ganz toll isch es... d’ganze Familie!!! It is very wonderful... the whole family! 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🎼🎵🎶🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

[@NoiseOverMusic]

I believe this family is distantly related to mine. My last name is Eash. At one point in the family tree, the name was Oesch. My family came from Switzerland, then to Germany, then to Pennsylvania, then to Indiana, then to Florida. I have looked up and this family is from the exact region that some of my Oesch relatives were in back in the 1600s.

[@paulreiff2234]

NoiseOverMusic Almost the same for my family; from the same area in Switzerland, to Germany, to Pennsylvania, then to Kansas. Have visited Switzerland Heimat three times, Love it!

[@fivesilverstar9133]

what a lovely musical family! :) i also want to learn how to yodel!

[@Aes5484.]

👍👍👍Goldene stimme

[@rosemaryjordan933]

wonderful it was in English I love listening to your band

[@wilhard45]

i appreciate and enjoy the style of yodeling done by Melanie Oesch. My favorite style of yodeling is from yodeling clubs like Jodlerclub Wiesenberg or Jodlerclub Alpeblueme Herisau. A nice Zäuerli is so soothing while fräulein Oesch reminds me more of German style yodeling. Then again she is far better looking then Franzl Lang.

[@mkmason2002]

A billion times better than rap! THIS takes TALENT.

[@kerriejones6998]

So true

[@aldebaranious]

I love this country!!! :-)

[@gerardbertrand4223]

C'est une famille extraordinaire

[@shreyamalik5480]

so talented..

[@zebramike100]

@DougDreamCatcher I sure Dayna is very pleased to have you.Doug you come thru, as a very passionate considerate gentleman.Kindness is a very good quality,and you have that.Merry Chrismas andHappy New Year

[@DavidTorres-kl2rt]

thanks for your musik a frend from mexico gracias por su musica danke alle familie

[@rewq0210789]

Na most omlottam össze idegileg :) Melanie gyönyörű hangjára rákeverni a narrátort!!!!

[@alanamcilwraith7579]

If I could yodel like this I wouldn’t shut up 😂 I would do it constantly 😂😂😂

[@jensbergel5172]

Schönes Kommentar Video von Melanie 😊😊😊👌👌👌👌

[@Massimo23001340]

complimenti ai una voce spettacolare e bravi à tutto il team!!

[@6eggc]

LOL!! at 3:34 it looks like he's doing something else!!haha!!

[@danieldobert9461]

Oesch die dritten is a very talented Swiss Family and Melanie Oesch has the best angelic for singing and jodeling.

[@carlosmartinez-oc6yh]

What the name of the song at the end (rehearsing) of the video

[@terrygoodwin9964]

I ABSOULUTLY LOVE SWISS YODELING, it expresses natural talent I HATE the reactions I get here at home!! I CAN'T "STAND" rock or "rap"!!!!!!!! But I LOVE YODELING!!!!!!! skiracer62

[@eisenjeisen6262]

I like that better than the jazz they play around, However i would love to see a renaissance of the love music that was popular in the 50s-to 80s in America and i also heard in Berlin, Germany where i here many people crave for today, and standing around listening to jazz and people not dancing are not having the full enjoyment of music being played.

[@vongraf2]

Das ist toll, Melanie, bravo

[@MrRadutudor]

O familie fericita....si talentata !

[@Terga2010]

Good example of someone doing what they want regardless of what others think, yodle away!!

[@jameswonglopez8862]

Muy hermosa ,cantas bonito

[@carlawenger4657]

Yepp :) she is from the best country in the world

[@gltmeredith]

Melanie. Ganz gut. I love it!!!

[@pplesandoranges]

What's the song the family plays in rehearsal?

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

i love folk music

[@MieczysawSylwesterKazimierzak]

Melanie pełna uroku nie tylko jako wokalistka w Yodeling Family,ale i jako rozmówczyni. Dolinami i górami niesie się jej uroda i głos.

[@vampire00rose]

Freaking Yodeling !! i just LOVE it

[@ImainemanI]

yeah, me too as of last night ... and I'm almost 3X her age, and still smitten.

[@DavidStanleymusic]

100% 5***** great music

[@vongraf2]

Das ist toll, Melanie

[@DougDreamCatcher]

@yippitydodah What JOY they have!

[@DougDreamCatcher]

@yippitydodah I'm happy to hear that. It's unfortunate, I think, that this type of music seems "uncool" to a some, and that there are people who passionately hate the sound of yodeling. I used to be like that, but I have grown to appreciate any good joyful sound, especially in the times we are living in now! Whether any person loves yodeling or hates it, Melanie Oesch has trained well and makes yodeling sound beautiful. And her being a lovely young lady sure doesn't hurt!

[@hondaryder3779]

Nice, little Melanie with the gap in the front teeth. So süß (cute).

[@Steggman]

heres a dumb question, but is she actually saying anything when yodling, or is it just a noise? I mena no ofence, i just dont know.. :)

[@papillonnoir7956]

how can yodel ?

[@DougDreamCatcher]

@zebramike100 Thanks for the kind words, and The same to you, Mike!

[@mojo0737]

"a combination of head and tongue technique" now you don't hear that every day

[@DougDreamCatcher]

@yippitydodah Freckly white skin and auburn hair and cheekbones. To me, her freckles are adorable. A sprinkle of freckles across a woman's face speaks to me of tenderness.

[@richardohara7033]

I love their music and Melanie.s yodelling, but how about the rest of the family? Please, help me with their names. The beautiful mother is what makes Melanie's singing. What Is Moms name? Dad.s name? and the boys too. Everything is Melanie give credit to the rest of the group. The Other guy playing the accordian really takes a back seat. I love Melanie but come on!! Gyrene Richard

[@TrekkerPat]

Dad is Hansuell, Mom is Ammemarie, dark haired son is Kevin and light haired son is Michael. There are two different men who play with the group but the only one I have a name for is Heinz. This family group is terrific and joyous!

[@JonasMartiTrumpet]

I'm student at the same school, and I've played on the piano wich is showed on 1:27. but sadly melanie isn't there any more^^

[@Dominicanboy255]

how come when i try to yodel it sounds like i'm from africa or something..dam well anyways she has a beautiful voice

[@flugfahrrader]

It's regrettable that when some people comment, only garbage flows. Maturity is in short supply. She's wonderful. If you feel compelled to express yourself as an idiot, then be bold enough to do it in public (where someone can punch you in your stupid face). Hiding in your bedroom with a PC, writing trash, is for Stupids.

[@pacificprospector]

Wunderbar! Tschüß!

[@tudantuhat]

Does anyone know the name of the last yodel? It sounds so cool!

[@Spelterdon]

Nam Nguyen It's called "Solojodler" and is on their "Frech Frisch Jodlerisch" CD.

[@tudantuhat]

Spelterdon Many thanks! :-D

[@geordiebeach]

I love you xxx

[@EmbraerRJ135]

LOL! That's her brother...

[@olofpalme63]

yea!...yodeling in the canyon!

[@DougDreamCatcher]

I am a third-generation American. While my ancestors came mostly from what would be called Bohemia in the former Czechoslovakia, and also some from Southern Germany and others from France, I have NEVER been a fan of polka music. HOWEVER, Hearing Melanie yodeling with such a beautiful voice is helping me to hear yodel music in a very different way, and if their music is polka-style, so what? She wants to overcome peoples' prejudice against Swiss yodel folk music? DONE! You go, girl!

[@serpicon1300]

Dommage que ce n'est pas en français .j'adore Mélanie voix inégalée

[@Lockemeister]

She has a wonderful voice, but does she know more than one song?

[@stephenchristian5739]

LET ME SAY IT'S AMAZING HOW GOD BRINGS WHATS NEEDED AT THE EXACT TIMES IT'S NEEDED! FOR THIS FAMILY IT WAS ALL JUST SO PERFECT! "MUSIC" SO MUCH ISN'T REALLY MUCH MORE THAN POP RAP OR JUST CHILDISH IN IT'S TOTALITY. CAN U REALLY REMEMBER WHAT TAYLOR SWIFT SINGS? SPEARS? KATY PARRY? GRANDE? I GET IT THEY CAN SING BUT REALLY LASTING AMAZING TIMELESS lets compare ok? PATSY CLINE?, HANK WILLIAMS? BING? NAT KING COLE? ON & ON IT GOES ..ITS FOREVER & I THINK THE WORLD LOVES THE HONEST REAL THING CALLED JODLING, FOLK, COUNTRY, ..OH YEAH ELVIS & SOME HILL BILLY ROCK THE WORLD NEEDS SOME INNOCENTS & THIS FAMILY IS NAILING IT!

[@escobarfabian]

i like she

[@overthehill1958]

[@MrCharlierc]

I like her head and tounge techniques

[@user-qh5ee3yi5h]

冒頭のアカペラシーンは夢の中の出来事のようだ。

[@marinaantener1952]

wau

[@eisenjeisen6262]

Ja vol Danke Veil Mall

[@almailman]

Yes, she's gorgeous! But, I'd always thought of yodeling as a sort of a novelty, until hearing this young lady who has elevated it to an art form. I want to hear more!

[@DougDreamCatcher]

@zebramike100 Mike, I feel like getting to know of and about Melanie and the breathtaking beauty of her fine singing has given my desire for Kindness a giant Mega-Vtiamin injection!

[@DougDreamCatcher]

@SteelCityHiitman A lucky click, maybe. ;-)

[@18Eydee]

bahaha I think your right LOL
