I'm a Madonna and Björk fan ! And would've loved bedtime stories(entire album) to be produced by Björk, that was what Madonna intended to, but Björk thought it wasn't right didn't feel comfortable, Björk always have felt silly and shy about fame, now she digests it better and Madonna with all her entire troupe, fame, mogul, stardom and hard to say but she was a difficult character back in the 90s and had to be her way. At the end she made a good electronica song and named the album the same. Love them both...still making the music they want and love :)
+Oscar De la Peña true. The whole album would have been looked at differently if Björk produced it. Bedtime story is the only sound that actually kind of fits the name of the album. The album is great, but I feel it was a B-Sides to Erotica more then an album.
Bjork was/is a legend. She was just so different from the mainstream, both musically, and as an artist. She was always pushing the boundries and taking risks. Long live indigenous musicians.
@@Azarath_Metrion_ZinthosWhen I said "was" I was reminiscing. My hope is that she's alive and well and enjoying the fruits of her labours back home in Iceland. As a native musician she was staunchly patriotic and it showed in her music in her dress and her approach to the the music industry at the time. Shed go for years without doing anything but when she finally did write a new song the entire music industry got behind her and it was like hearing from an old friend again. She is à brilliant role model for determination and perseverance in the face of skepticism and my little sister's hero (at the time) because of it. Most critiques of the time labeled her as weird but that just made her more popular. Peace.
And also writing a song which would become - arguably Madonna's most beautiful and artistic music video. It is just stunning. A true piece of art in the best sense.
@@kamilaford5752 Yeah that sounds so creepy! If "innocent" was the only word used then I wouldn't think too much of it, but "childlike" AND "innocent" is too much.
Suggest you look up Maria Franz. More talent that the two of them combined. Which is not to say they are bad, but that Franz is of another level altogether.
@@OroborusFMA I agree. I mean the number of women that are the essence of creativity, Grace Jones, Clara Schumann, Pina Bausch, Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka and the list goes on, goddamn it!
I recall seeing an interview with Madonna and talking about Bjork ,” I think she is so ahead of us , such a genius “! That’s coming from Madonna . Bjork Is a Queen in her own right ! Here interspective soo incredible
Awe wow, I miss that era. MTV was actually worth watching and you as the viewer, would look forward to the MTV awards. No internet kids, so you had to mark it with a pen on a calendar! 🤔
yeah up until about 1996 or so when they still had Liquid Television and genre specific music video programs...well generally speaking Music Videos. I honestly don't even want to know or care what MTV is up to now
Yeah but it was very limited choices in music. Basically whatever a money-making industry wanted to publish out there. With the Internet, you now have exposure to such a wide range of music I wonder how today's pop artists are so elevated when there is a world of music that's just as good or better than their McMusic.
Today is the last day that I'm using words/They've gone now, lost their meaning, don't function anymore/Losing logic & reason to the arms of unconsciousness/I'm gonna relax in the arms of unconsciousness! ...and inside WE'RE ALL STILL *WET* longing & yearning, how can I explain how I feel? ...and *all that you ever learned, try to forget!* I'll never explain again!
No shit??? That's one of the few songs I really like by Madonna, but I like plenty by Bjork lol. However, that video is amazing, all those paintings it paid homage to... Stunning.
chill out mate, this has much more to do with music business than the artists themselves. as for us, we can listen to madonna, bjork and lady gaga, beyond any comparison, and have a really good time while on this planet
@@principality543 so you're telling me that because bjork is quirky with an odd style then other artists can't? They both have their own odd style and have nothing to do with each other. You're the only person making comparisons
Ahe is incredible. I also discovered her when she was in the Sugarcubes.. and i love ther song Regina!! my fav.. but i also love how she went Solo.. Human behavior... classic!
i don't care if madonna and bjork they aren't a good friends or semthing like that, they colaborated in a excelent album, and they have diferente ways to express her arts. and i enjoy the music of madonna and bjork, tha's all...
Bikini Burger Are you fucking serious are you fucking serious That's her worst album Listen to like a virgin , True Blue, First Album , Hard Candy ,Mdna I love all those albums those are cheesier than bedtime stories
Bjork is such a good thespian in the movie a saw her. She had a son that was needing an operation, and she worked in this factory to save money to help her son. Very heartfelt movie. Dancer in the dark. Name of the movie. She is so talented, love her. 🌈🦋☮
Bjork is referring to Madonna's song Bedtime Story that she co-wrote. I love how "Bedtime Story" feels like a Bjork song. Bjork has her own unique style that beats to it's own drum. She's like that one crazy tornado of a roller coaster at a theme park that is weird as hell but oh so good!
An amazing artist. I started buying CDs way late into the game (sold hundreds of LPs just prior, yawn), and “Vespertine” was one of my first discs. As astonishing as Kate Bush’s “Hounds of Love” really, but my God, that voice is just from another universe. See her as a little kid reading a traditional Icelandic Christmas tale. In the video, many kids and adult performers and yet every time the camera is on her you see and hear the brilliance and commitment to her art blowing the entire stage to smithereens. Quietly, yet! Single digit age too, I believe🤣🤣🤣
my favorite musical artist. Joga, Hyperballad(fluke mix), Stonemilker, I Go Humble, Isobel, All is Full of Love(original or any mix including plaid mix), Aurora & Sod Off(ridu remix), ....
i remember this live (at the time i didn’t get all the hype surrounding Bjork but, i was a freshman in high school very stupid when it came to music before 1998 i started listening to her music liked it but, didn’t fully understand it (Bjork is one of those artists in a sense you have to have lived a little while to fully appreciate what a absolute genius she is (Over the last 2-3 years revisited those first 3 Albums) She is simply amazing imo the most important female singer of the 1990’s) i can’t sing her praises enough
Björk is the one and the only... One would think that she forces her image by looking at her, but when you listen to her music suddenly you wonder if she is from this planet. Björk is an outstanding artist and visioner. Her music is timeless.
Bjork is an angel....in spirit and in appearance. I was 12 the time, when MTV was one of the best channels on TV. NOTHING but music, now....it's ANYTHING but music. It's also not a coincidence why music overall sucks these days. I miss my adolescence, when everywhere I turned there was great music popping up. Grunge, alternative, electronic, trip-hop, metal.
I don't know ... I remember a lot of crappy shows on mtv in the early 90s, ... Remote Control, The Real World, .. the beginning of 'reality tv' ... The Grind, all kinds of crap other than strictly music .... The 80s Mtv was pretty much just pure music.... BUT, the 90s had stuff like 120 minutes, Mtv Post Modern, Headbangers Ball, Beavis and Butthead and Liquid Television which were all pretty great.
Its so funny, a friend of mine left me his computer which had tons of albums including Madonna on it. One day I just hot shuffle and eventually 'bedtime stories' started playing and just cought my attention emmediately. Bjork has such an original song structure and writing style that it stands out as unique even on a Madonna album
The song is called let's get unconscious. I love Birthday Song by the Sugar Cubes and Human Behavior. If you want to keep up with this playlist listen to Water From a Vine Leaf and Fluffy Clouds while you are at it. Takes me back. Thanks Bjork.
Wow, the vibe in this short clip is SO different from what society feels like today. This was a freer, more innocent time when people could just be themselves and live their lives. When music was music, art was art, entertainment was entertainment. When people could just talk freely without providing 5 pages of disclaimers or preemptively apologize for existing.
Not really man. We were just rebounding from the puritanical book burning fascist 80's, and were craving cultural expression and a sense of personal freedom. Such will happen again past the gender wars and christian nationalist craziness.
skinny9283 yeah right if she didn't had any talent why did she get signed it was the 80's. They were actually looking for good artists. So if madonna was talentless why did she get signed. You need to stop . Don't Get Me wrong Bjork is the best I do believe she needs massive success but you don't need to diss others to do that the only talentless person I see is you.
BJORK WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST.EVEN THOUGH SHE IS AGING GRACEFULLY. WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER LIKE IN THIS VIDEO.SHE WAS SO CUTE AND HOT.HER MUSIC ALWAYS MAKES ME FELL GOOD.SHE IS A TRUE ARTEST AND IS FEARLESS IN TRYING SOMETHING NEW. EVEN IF SHE WAS'NT CUTE.I WOULD LOVE HER MUSIC.SHE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE HER EVER AGAIN.
Björk has had such an intense impact on culture over such a short span of time, I can't help but suspect that she's covertly some kind of Norse god or something. There are so few people who you can really compare her to.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Bjork! I used to get so fucking mad when anyone would interview her. They all treated her like an idiot or a child, not like the talented artist she is with the respect she deserves.
I was barely 3 years old when this came out. Most of the people that were there I view as legends, but people that are older got to watch these legends being made while questioning how long they'd last.
The song she worked with was Bedtime Story, and what happened here is that Madonna changed the lyrics. Pretty sure Bjork did not take that well at all. It's like changing an art piece the color. The result is amazing. But how would it be with no changes? amazing as well for sure.
love bjork i wish there was more to follow. she is such a legand you are not doing this for you its for us thank you love you, your actions and words say so much more than any one else can . come back to the lime light we need you
