I love Sophie, her music is soo deep, soo unique, authentic... Discovered her 8 years ago and each time a hear her voice is like the first.
I dont understand guys, why so many bad comments and dislikes? This music is great, just give it a chance!!!
I wish she had a larger following in the US. She is a very gifted performer.
Endlich mal wieder ein Künstler/eine Künstlerin, wo die Musik (inkl. Text) im Vordergrund steht. Und nicht irgendeine Show ablenken soll. SUPER!
She is a passionate musician. Look at her face. There is so much joy.
Still gives me goosebumps. Beautifully done
Beautifully different singing. Almost haunting! A little abstract may be, which is why this does not appeal to many casual listeners. But art presents itself in different ways, different styles, and is a representation of culture and individuality. One must open one's heart, and try and appreciate beauty as much as possible !
Her playing/lyrical style is reminiscent of Emilíana Torrini, and her voice is uniquely hers. One of my favourite TED music bits I've seen.
How could ANYONE dislike THIS?! O.o
"If history would have been different, then this whole conference might as well have been in Swiss-German, and you know you would have had Swiss-German in school and you would say to your children, 'If you want to be someone in life, you have to definitely learn Swiss-German,' and so this is what this conference would sound like if...[significant pause/look... followd by beautiful song]"...
Lyrics of the Swiss-German song(In english)Part 1:
Oh, just yesterday you suddenly saw nothing anymore
And since then nobody sees you
Oh, yesterday the mirror broke
And since then, your face breaks apart
I am just an idea of yours
how you want it
and you are just an idea of mine
how i need it
And if that was if that was, we would always be the same
maybe i'm gonna watch TED more often, because they brought sophie.
So Very Beautiful!
62 thumbdowns???
I don't understand!!
You are wonderful Artists!
... is a great voice into a great place, where the sound of words and its meannig are the most important things. Congratulations Sophie
i am a big fan from sophie hunger and this, for me since now, this is the best,intense concert she was given
if you get the chance to see her live do. especially in small clubs she really makes it feel very intimate. and probably more playfull without loosing the intensity.
i'm not really sure where all the "dislikes" come from but i think they done an amazing job and the music was really touching/moving
big up from russia with love
Magnifique Sophie Hunger... Une artiste aussi complète que talentueuse.
Superbe présence sur scène..la marque des grand(e)s .... et pour finir, on est forcément sous le charme
I love seeing music performances on TED and reading people's comments who don't understand that TED is Technology, Entertainment, Design.
if i choose to speak swiss german i would but i didn't because i don't know german at all.. that's the reasoning behind my thoughts. on the other hand i love listening to Sophi, great artist with exceptional talent.
i love this performance
very expressive music!
great voice and songs
Why the dislike? If you're too feeble-minded to appreciate different kinds of mediums and explore everything TED has to offer, your missing out!
Lindo...Um verdadeiro espetaculo...Parabens.
@colourfulwithaU I agree...there's nothing wrong with the 'new' talks... i actually enjoy them just as much as the 'old' ones...whatever that means
1 in 7 is giving a thumb down? Why is this? Just for the sake of clicking something? Do not get it. This is special and nice, no?
Yes
Etonnant que le public ne se soit levé. Tellement émotionnel. De grands artistes.
Adorei o espectáculo que deu hoje em Coimbra. Parabéns pelo que é. E obrigada pelo que nos ofereceu.
This is SO damn nice and cool.
@Donnervogelistaken & @FFSray
You are both absolutely awesome! Many thanks for the quick responses!
Just got myself.... Thank you Sophie!!
preciosa su música ...su voz...su carisma....
transmite lo que quiere transmitir ...emociona y ...te transporta hacia el lugar que ella quiere llevarte....
qué bella música!!
Sophie Hunger. Underbart. Wunderbar. Wonderful. Merveilleux. Maravilloso. Meravilgliosio.❤️
I like it because it's different from anything I have heard before.
unique ..very unique....n its great
Étonnante artiste , unique , on est sous le charme de sa voix son émotion quand elle est sur scène .
Wow!!!
What a lovely voice...
Whenever there is music, art, or dance, or the like on TED people really make a fuss, but it's entertainment all the same. I guess it is just more subjective, thus harder for some to appreciate.
What? Dislike that? Don't understand! Taste differs, but true beauty and truth not being recognised is mental.
+Andrea Martins
Some people can't defer to (that kind of) beauty. Why you ask? Because people are humans, too
+KriechenderHouden She is an extraordinary artist. That is why I am asking.
@Elechte Lyrics of the Swiss-German song(In english)Part 2:
My doctor says, remove the cloak
and I say, but below it, I am nothing, nothing
My doctor says, remove the cloak
and I say, but below it, I have nothing, nothing(in english)
I am just an idea of yours
how you want it
and you are just an idea of mine
how i need it
And if that was if that was, we would always be alone
wow Im really impressed shes very good
It's pur and powerfool Pure et puissant ...
wunderschön.
Einfach nur brilliant!!! Soo Gänsehaut Feeling all Thumbs Up!!!!!!☀️🍀 Weiss jemand wie das erste Lied heißt? Find das auch keinem Album von ihr?
Edit: habs rausgefunden. Heißt Hotel berlfort😁
ted is just too fucking mainstream for this great kind of art. too mainstream in a veryvery bad way. sophie hunger is the best and you need to listen it and try to understand what she's about.
Oh and by the way her performance is great, I didn't hear about her before now.
sophie i love you
sophie hunger... you had me at hello.
@TherianthropeAndrewH I'm on City Lights now, wow... she has a new fan.
@florencelovesme: You're so right! I'm glad there are different regions and cultures on planet earth! Everything the same, wouldn't it be boring? Where shall we go for holydays? And yes, Sophie is Swiss!
@mangelsdorff So a fantasy of a beautiful-sounding Swiss-German speaking world population introduced by the phrase "If history would have been different..." is in reference what?
She starts at 11:28. Watch it again.
She concludes by saying, "and so, this is what this conference would sound like if..." She does not complete that thought but pauses and gestures significantly. The audience seems momentarily shocked. Then after a moment, a few laugh, uncomfortably.
This is what this conference would sound like......... If Germany had won the war. I am an Irish man living in the German speaking part of switzerland.
@@olivermcinerny6566 No. She talks about swiss german, not german. These languages are completely different. This is the special humor of Sophie, she likes to introduce unexpected meanings.
@dakgootje The song is called Spiegelbild (translation: mirror image / reflection)
a genius
Wow, why so many negative comments?
Americans and appreciating culture. Just lol. Way to go...
Her voice reminds me Leslie Feist
anyone knows what the song is from 12:00 until 14:40 ? I don't speak swiss-german which makes it really hard to google for the lyric..
Kann mir wer den Titel der Nummer in Schweizerdeutsch sagen, oder auf welcher CD diese zu hören ist? Eine tolle Musikerin!
+Karl-Heinz Huber Der Titel heißt ,,Spiegelbild,,und ist auf dem ersten Album ,,Monday's Ghost,,
+Fallon Wolf »besten Dank! Sehr hilfreich.
weiß jemand, wie die erste nummer heisst, die sie spielt...? echt schön...
she reminds me of pheobe of friends :)
@NAK5891 to be honest she kind of sounds like katy perry... i love it
@AVJRoutledge those are some pretty harsh words. TED is all about spreading ideas, from both men and women and this does just that too.
Is this the Ted to come ?
@nusmusik
danke :)
I want TED to show Brandi Carlile &or Newton Faulkner.
They are amazing singers & songwriters.
I quite like this, but I’d prefer these artists.
Can somebody please tell me the name of the song at 12:00? ♥
Joscelyn "Spiegelbild"
thank you kind man!
@florencelovme Sophie Hunger grew up in Bern (Switzerland), London (United Kingdom), Bonn (Germany) and Zurich.
This I got from Wikipedia. I do agree in a way, but when it comes to her, it gets a bit complicated.
@herrbasan
best comment ever. you're great! :)
weiss jemand wie der posaunenspieler und der hintergrundsänger heissen?
Michael Flury (Posaune), Christan Prader (Flöte, Klavier, Gitarre)
Icon
She's a good enough singer, but I don't know why she's on TEDtalks. Did someone not show up?
what tuning is she using?
@86kinky86
What's wrong with the 'new' TED Talks? TED stands for Technology ENTERTAINMENT Design. Music fits into the 'entertainment' category, I believe.
i think they have people play music during the talks so it's not just one talk after another all day, which would get tiring. it's just to break it up a bit i think. i doubt it's meant to be particularly meaningful. just a little entertainment, relax people... they might as well post it. it's pretty much free... : )
@rowanrockhopper2
I did not say she is having sex during a cricket match. My reference is to TED having its 'Entertainment' with videos like this. I assume, due to the nature of TED talks, that I get the entertainment from interesting people and their clever ideas. ‘Entertainment’ as a whole should not be indulged or you can justify cricket and porn as entertainment possibilities for TED.
@Rabbitlusi that's why google and lyrics exist...
@lucidzirkus
YES!
People don't actually listen to the lyrics.
@solitary200 You completely missed the speech!
Kann mir wer sagen, wie mann diese art nen wie er die Posaune Spielt.. was nimmt er da in die Hand?

Das ist ein Dämpfer, mein Freund. Simles Teil aus Alu mit Filzrand.
danke :D
@softball10
Hello. Wow thanks for the info. I do appreciate that becuase i truly did not know. have a great week. if you know of any other kool guitarist on here please let me know
@mRmo1412 Technically Americans are North Americans if we're going by continent classification.
@florencelovme All cultures evolve. We don't have gladiators, pharoahs, or Chinese emporers anymore, because culture has changed since then. And who is to say that a global culture wouldn't be better than any other individual culture?
@NAK5891 not enough double bass and raging guitar solo's!!! jks jks, yes it's good, really well written/
18:45
seems like a lot of people dont know What TED stands for
@jasonlajoie lol YES I did use google spell cant trust google any more or my selfe .
@yared94 It's not ok, "american" is vague too, or when you talk about an american person you think of a mexican, a chilean, a canadian, a peruvian, an argentinian, and so on? United States is not the only country in the continent, you know...
@mangelsdorff Oooh. haha. Is that what she's talking about? Thank you for clearing up that confusion for me. I really enjoyed this whole exchange in an absurdly delightful way. And you see, in the end we achieved a merger of minds, by way of your patient conveyence of superior knowledge. Isn't that what TED is all about?
(And maybe it even would be a tiny bit fun to attempt to calculate with a 4,321 based numerical system!)
I make songs too - quiet ones. Check out my page.
What's the first song title?
Hey I'm back again! 12 years later! Hi!
@florencelovme
i'm european. and actually .. come to think of it .. i'm human... currently located on the planet earth. Nationality lost all meaning a long time ago. And this is a good thing .. since nothing good every came from it.
@zeena35 Technology, Entertainment, and Design. Because it is supposed to be entertaining.
I rater lesson to this in a bar than to lesson to Jesting beaver!!!
SWITZERLAND POWER!!!!.PEACE WORLD......!!!!
Ok TED..
go a head and bring on Meshuggah, that is very educational and it would be great to teach people how fucked up math can get in a simple way.
@florencelovme
What's different about being called English, Spanish or German and being called European?
Should we all rather be called Earthlings if we do not want to seperate eachother by geography?
@florencelovme I'm European.
@AguaMar00 You're welcome
@IgnisGraeca jetzt muesh nuno shwizerdütsh lerne :) haha
i speak English but i don't get the lyrics at all~ probably~ i am too shallow to understand it?!
@86kinky86 what's wrong with it?...
