Nina Hagen is the ONLY artist I ever wrote a fan letter to...right after Kosma Shiva was born. I sealed it with sealing wax. Nina Hagen is 11 days older than I am. We're both 68. ❤️🔥👍 I got to catch her live at a Chicago venue close to Wrigley Field in 2006. Her finale was "Ave Maria". Her performance was so moving I was choked and in tears. ❤️🔥
she was my youth diva. One has to know how original, cool, ironic , clever, great punk/rock/opera artist she was to truly appreciate her. Even looking wild, scary & crasy her soft side reveals a caring, humanistic person. This combination is amazing.
What I love about Nina Hagen is that she does exactly what she wants to do and don't give a crap what other people might think. A true difference in between artists and Artists is that Artists make it look appealing to the audience no matter how odd and strange their art was. Professionally.
Truly an ORIGINAL!!! Uninhibited! What you get is what you see. I absolutely love how she did this song!!! And as far as this arrangement goes. It's probably the best I've heard to date of this classic song! Bravo to the arranger!!! 5 stars out of 5.
In the 90's in SF, I got to see her perform live and it's one of my favorite memories. In the VIP room, I was shirtless wearing Gaultier, while signing my back with a sharpie, she was interrupted and told her team that she she wasn't finished. GOOD TIMES!
@@joez5366 What? My profile photo is old.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ So don't tell me how old I am. Why would I put my age up. Seriously? 🤦♀️ Thanks for the complement though😅😅
@@clayrravenofficial.715 You slay me! I don't know why you put your age up in the comment above. I'd edit it out if it wasn't intentional, but why? You're gorgeous and it truly does not matter. Thank you for taking the time to reply, it is appreciated very much.
I'm 11 days younger than Nina Hagen. I accidentally discovered Nina in 1979 at Kapers Korners Records just before attending a Pretenders/English Beat ❤ Concert in KCMo. After the concert I drove 130 miles to my home and by 2 am I was playing the entire Unbehagen Album at full volume! Life has never been the same! ❤️🔥👍 (Unbehagen means "ill at ease") ❤🔥
Whoever envisioned pairing Nina with this symphony to perform Somewhere Over the Rainbow was a freaking genius. Was it Nina's idea? It certainly introduced her to a broader audience. I have loved her for decades (since late 70's) and seen her perform live twice. She taught me to not fear my voice, to play with it full throttle and she influenced my new wave/punk style in the 80s'. I have every album and know all the words, even German. She still enriches my life to this day. She has also always had the most kick-ass bands. Thank you for sharing this video 💙💜
I think this is one of the most fascinating performances ever recorded! I can't get off my eyes off Mrs. Hagen. She is a beautiful and attractive woman, with mesmerizing voice, intelligence and sense of humor that I don't believe I've ever seen in one person before!
Ticci Toby, Nina's voice has been my best friend in dire teenage years... lol...I grew up with her in Germany... I think I was 12/13 when Unbeschreiblich Weiblich came out! How long have you been listening to Nina, and what caught your interest?
Ticci Toby I can retrace Your feelings. Nina is a superb singer and she's a bit weird what I really appreciate very much. On another occasion I told that I would like to stay with her for a night, no strings attached, just to have the opportunity to get to know her. I guess I would be satisfied with that she has has great empathy. She's like a mother.
Her album NunSexMonkRock is a work of genius, and I don't say that lightly. I've loved most of her work since I heard her in 1977. I say "most" because any avant garde artist is not always going to produce gems.
I would like to apologize to Nina Hagen for never having heard her wonderful performing before. I feel like American music is so one-sided; we don’t hear things from Eurovision or even top of the pops, YT makes it easier to hear, but you have to look for it; this is the first time the algorithm has presented me with her work. Btw, I’m gen X, so it’s just sad that I missed out on her music growing up. 🇺🇸 has good music, but without a complete WORLD view of music, we are uneducated. 😕
But you *have* found her and that's all that matters. Now you have Nina's expansive 50-year career to explore! Go forth and enjoy the Mother of Punk, fellow X'er. 🤘😄
If Judy had been a punk, she and Nina would have ruled the music world!! Nina blows this classic standard out of the park. And her punk ballerina princess dance is wonderful to watch. Love you Nina!!
Only recently discovered Nina. Too much for the conservative lot. I'm 66 years young and only wish I had of discovered her way back in the eighties ... She is a HUGE Talent !
Beavis and butthead introduced me to this woman. I have to say she is one of a kind and I love that in an artist. I have watched a few of her vids and not all the music I'm that crazy about but the fact that she goes from punk to opera to reggae iand funk influences is intriguing and her style is quite original, not to mention her eyes are breathtaking!
they talked allot about Einstürzende Neubauten Kraftwerk and Rammstein allot and i always think of Nina Hagen; beautiful voice, body, and mind all in one.
OOOOH , wie schade das ich erst jetzt erst sehe und höre... mir fehlen die Worte ....weil das ist nicht zu beschreiben was ich da höre ....mit einem Orchester ( Bigband) das Hummeln im Arsch hat .... love it ..... und ein langes Leben für Euch alle .....
@Gio Marrocco yeah sure, it wasnt meant in a negative way, what I meant is that her crazyness, meaning her artistic persona, outfit and demeanour on stage do not outshine her raw vocal talent. Of course I don’t know her personally and even if I did I would never judge anybody for being different :)
Gio Marrocco nah. It’s the eyes. Those are some crazy, CRAZY eyes. You can’t fake that shit. I know she’s a truly kind person and a phenomenal talent but she’s nuttier than squirrel poop.
Inimitable and sublime! There is no such thing as too much Nina Hagen! There is little found in life that one can still love as though it were new after thirty years, but Nina Hagen's work is on a dwindling list of such for me...
LOvE Nina Hagen in many levels... her performance, her attitude, her voice her choices and the way she reminds me that life is fun! that the extraordinary exist in those that recognize it!
Entrancing. Its like Judy had another punk daughter. Iove classic punk because it was so creative and un self- conscious. and unafraid of labels or what people thought. just pure art and entertainment.
Whoa. Today is the first time I've heard of Hagen and watched her videos. I have an aunt who acts like this all of the time and looks like the 20 years older version.
She's just Soo true to herself and that's what I adore about her - she's a free soul and it's wonderful for me to witness. I found some other kick ass songs by her and she has a heart that cares about real things. She's just out there on her own doing her thing and I luv her for it. I think she's fabulous 🌹
It's mentioned in Wiki so it must be true 😇"Hagen enrolled in the vocal training performance program at The Central Studio for Light Music in East Berlin (de). "
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?
The tragic thing here is that most people just don't, won't or can't get what an amazing talent she is. She should be revered; one of the true greats.
ppl are deaf blind angels see hear nina
truer words never spoken.
I revere her.
The true humanity knows there's angels. Judy and Nina.🥰
❤
75% tribute, 25% satire, 100% originality and talent.
Her dynamics are fucking amazing.
She can shift her voice to virtually any timbre. It's wondrous to behold.
I know! I wish I could sing like her.
When I got to meet her, I told her she was the 8th Wonder of the World!
She has a whole opera studying or how ever
Her vocal range is enormous and her originality is endless!
Nina Hagen covers 6 Octaves ❤🔥.....Lene Lovitch, Whitney, JLo, Cindy Lauper and Axl Rose cover 5 Octaves......Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Arianna Grande, Tina Turner, Aretha, Freddie Mercury and Celine Dion cover 4 Octaves. 3 Octaves = Janis Joplin, Miley, Gaga, RiRi and Bork
This woman taught me to sing and is the most incredible, crazy, beautiful creature imaginable.

Wie? War?..... Nina lebt Gott sei Dank, sie ist wirklich eine gsnze große.....
Still 2021 and no one can get closer of this genius and talent. Goddess!
True, best female voice ever.
"Brilliant performance Frau Hagen, but, uh, we said it was 'black tie formal.'"
"What are you talking about? This is my most dignified tutu."
What I love about Nina Hagen is that she does exactly what she wants to do and don't give a crap what other people might think. A true difference in between artists and Artists is that Artists make it look appealing to the audience no matter how odd and strange their art was. Professionally.

She is just a comic genius, and I have loved her since the 1970s. The authentic punk princess!
I really love her attitude :D She is so not boring..
She does camp so well :)
That must be the understatement of the century :)
ENTP hehehe
@@KeesKouwenberg haha yes "not boring" she is the most entertaining you can get with JUST artistic beauty
I love Nina. I saw her numerous times when I lived in Los Angeles back in the 1980s. Sweet and talented person.
In the 90's in SF, I got to see her perform live and it's one of my favorite memories. In the VIP room, I was shirtless wearing Gaultier, while signing my back with a sharpie, she was interrupted and told her team that she she wasn't finished. GOOD TIMES!
She has one of the most amazing voices - and she knows how to work it... strong singer
I'm 57 years old. I have loved Nina since I was a teenager. 💞💞💞
Nonsense Alana, you don't look a day over 35! It is clear now that I have Loved 💝💝 you since I was a teenager! You can stop looking.

i found her when i was watching Klaus Nomi, and i saw a thumbnail with freaky looking face singing woman, and i clicked it
Same
same..
Me tooooooooooo!!!!!
Me too🥺
I love the way she sings Over the Rainbow her voice is so unique

Glauben Sie mir in Deutschland wird Sie geliebt und verehrt ❤ich liebe Sie auch und Bewunderer Sie .❤
I'm in love with this singer. She's fabulous.
That's what is called a rebellious opera singer , she could have been one of the best if she'd gone that route .
sputnic i think being herself without anybody telling her what to sing and what to wear is way more worth to her
And she did much more with that voice than any opera ever has
@@raffaelw.2767
I beleive you really mean to say "More than any Opera singer"
@@bobdownes162 yes that's what I meant 😅
shut up.. she is the best just for being her
strong voice voice; lots of range. unique
Ryan Johnson so bad she didn‘t use her voice - her real voice - very often. She‘s a very good singee!
I think this is one of the most fascinating performances ever recorded! I can't get off my eyes off Mrs. Hagen. She is a beautiful and attractive woman, with mesmerizing voice, intelligence and sense of humor that I don't believe I've ever seen in one person before!
I didn't think that it was possible to fall in love with someone's voice... Nina Hagen proved me wrong.
Ticci Toby, Nina's voice has been my best friend in dire teenage years... lol...I grew up with her in Germany... I think I was 12/13 when Unbeschreiblich Weiblich came out! How long have you been listening to Nina, and what caught your interest?

I've been in love with this woman since I saw a photo of her in Creem magazine in 1977. Amazing voice, amazing attitude.
Me too, but Nina was really an opera singer.Oh and i have gotten rid of that love.
She had o voice, but used that to make ridiculous presentetations.
Her album NunSexMonkRock is a work of genius, and I don't say that lightly. I've loved most of her work since I heard her in 1977. I say "most" because any avant garde artist is not always going to produce gems.
Love me some Nina. Saw her perform at Berlin in NYC and many other Punk and New Wave Dives. Oh, those were the days
I have watched this more than 100 times and it STILL gives me chills. She is amazing.
I heard my vocal teacher say that this is "Judy Garland's song" after watching this, I'm starting to reconsider that statement.
This put a big smile on my face. Love Nina. She is amazing.
OMG. I effn love her. And I love her version of this classic. You ROCK Nina.
She's brilliant. I've loved her since I first heard her sing "Universal Radio" back in the 80's.
I would LOVE to see her perform live again. My only blessing was in August 1995 in Washington, DC. She is fantastic!
its interesting to see that the awesome nina hagen is still confusing and pissing off people to this day.
I would like to apologize to Nina Hagen for never having heard her wonderful performing before.

Ich hab kein Faible für Opern, aber mit Nina sing ich mit... Klasse !! :)
The original Crazy Eyes.
She's very expressive! So the song greatly delivered to the audience with the meaning of the song Too ! Greatly Ms.Nina Hagen
2023 and still one of my favorite performances. Voice shifting at its best!
If Judy had been a punk, she and Nina would have ruled the music world!! Nina blows this classic standard out of the park. And her punk ballerina princess dance is wonderful to watch. Love you Nina!!
Wow ! I am over the rainbow.
Unique voice and personnality so special and wonderful Thanks Life !!

Jesus Christ she could make the alphabet sound creepy
It was amazing though
you should hear her sing all the stars in the sky
Try listening to born in xixax, then you can see her sing naturträne live lol
🌸 She is the german voice of Yubaba in Spirited Away 🌸
Besides sick humour, there's this unique voice full of soul.
i like how she really over emphasizes every lyric and note lol
The fact that she can even sing opera makes her more of a musical talent than 90% of the female singers out there today.
OOOOH , wie schade das ich erst jetzt erst sehe und höre... mir fehlen die Worte ....weil das ist nicht zu beschreiben was ich da höre ....mit einem Orchester ( Bigband) das Hummeln im Arsch hat .... love it ..... und ein langes Leben für Euch alle .....
She is truly an artist and completely out of her mind, I love it!!!
Oh! I just love this song!!! It's so beautiful!!!
Nina you are the best!
She's an extraordinary talent...true magic!
She's fucking crazy but amazing
She is not crazy, she is unik, remember she is and will aways be a punk.
*unique
@@omarsig9814 crazily unique 🙃

One of the most amazing performers ever. She is 100% talent.
Nina: Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Klaus: Ding Dong
She's a grunting, squealing steamengine saxophone and I love her.
Nina is gorgeous. This song makes me want a punk/cabaret version of the Wizard of Oz with Nina as Glinda, or any witch
SHE FUCKING KILLED THIS!!!!
Years before Gaga. This woman is totally awesome.
The difference is Nina can sing.
Junto a Diamanda Galas, prodigios del canto y del performance!!! Grandes mujeres
Yes Diamanda galas😃she was a colourato.
LOVE it at the end when she briefly channels 'Elvira' then 'The Cowardly Lion' ...
Just keep your eyes close and listen to her voice!
Nina Hagen, Helge Schneider und Band, das wäre die Krone des musikalisch-künstlerischen Absoluten:)
Salute CZcams videos great memories! Nelson1963 great best wishes ALL TAKE CARE
UN PERSONNAGE ET UNE VOIX UNIQUE !!! J ' ADORE !!! 💓💓
Entrancing. Its like Judy had another punk daughter. Iove classic punk because it was so creative and un self- conscious. and unafraid of labels or what people thought. just pure art and entertainment.
Nina & leibzig bigband explosion 2004 in bremen, is scho lange her ....aber nie vergessen.
Nina my diva :) grandios!!!!!!!
I love her voice, hair, shoes, clothes.. I just love NINA!
one of the best voices ever. love here
Whoa. Today is the first time I've heard of Hagen and watched her videos. I have an aunt who acts like this all of the time and looks like the 20 years older version.
Nina is GREAT!!! I just discovered her last night, and everything I've seen is just fabulous! Keep it coming, Nina!!! :D
Nina ! Saved my life in 1984 Michigan ! And since! My Judy who got expelled by the stasi!
Me encantaría otra entrega de Jocker con Nina Hagen como la mamá de Harley Quinn. Esta mujer es lo más.
Una voce surreale che tocca profondità tribali dell'animo umano... Unica!Enza Ferri
Нина бесспорно уникальный бриллиант корый не перестает восхищать и радовать
Masterpiece. Unique. Unrivaled.
Her gestures reminds me Wario expressions a lot. It is very funny.

Nina is amazing, what a unique piece of art, and she can really sing, but i love her just the way she is!
Fantastic voice, classically trained I heard.
If it's true, then I'm glad she slung most of its rules, "Out of the window".
I've heard it's a rumour. She has never been classicaly trained.
It's mentioned in Wiki so it must be true 😇"Hagen enrolled in the vocal training performance program at The Central Studio for Light Music in East Berlin (de). "
She is one of the most amazing performers ever, people that cant see it need to look harder.
Nina is so over the top. I absolutely adore her voice!!
WOW 😮 I knew she has a good voice. I never knew she had amazing voice 🤩🫶😍
Amo questa cantante capace di cavalcare con maestria ogni genere musicale. Unica al mondo❤
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Great voice
this woman was an opera prodigy at 5 years old. Damn fine artist! Gotta lover Fieber mit Nina und OOMPH!
we can't deny that imagination is real. Nina is a living proof of it
Her voice is so unique
More talented than anyone should be- she’s unbelievable and iconic
Wow fucking wow!!!!!!
She's crazy good, I love her
Ear to ear......yup I’m smiling like a Cheshire Cat.
Magnifique version ❤
