Her response to the sexual questions are admirable, and I love how she called the interviewer out for it with class. She never played that game to get popularity. True to herself and her artistry!
@@HangryinBrussels a pinup is a poster containing a photo of a famous person (e.g. a famous pop star who is good looking) which people (mainly teenagers) put on the walls of of their bedroom…
Nope. It is because she takes breaks to live her normal life. But yes, she also takes regular time to finish albums. They are masterpieces, yes. But I have heard masterpieces albums from other artists and they did not take them so long. It is just the time of the artist. At least, she respects her own time to do a good work.
@@bookowl1775 i love her first 5 albums the red shoes is a strange one but she was going through a lot there are about 4 songs on it i love the rest i can live without
I was a fan from day one. As a teenager in the 80's I was buyung her vinyls in Woolworths whilst everyone else was buying Madonna and Kylie Minogue. I remember getting funny quizzical looks and comments like "Kate Bush? She's a wierdo". When my kids were teenagers it was "Kate who?" Now, because of Stranger Things" she has become a goddess. The funny thing is some kids thought she was a new rising star and were flabbergasted to find out that she is now nearly 64 years of age. She has always been a goddess in my eyes.
stranger things is an insult her in my opinion there will never be another artist like kate with such insight and no interest in dame or money just pure art and skill
Same here. No-one else I knew liked Kate Bush in the early 80s. "The Dreaming" was considered to be a very bizarre and non-commercial album. I loved it. I got my girlfriend into her and she became a bigger fan than me! Kate was our secret passion.
In 1979 I went to Bristol to see Thin Lizzy, and before the show we went for a beer which saw us walk past the front of the Hippodrome, outside of which was an a-board that said, " Kate Bush - a few tickets left" so I gave my Thin Lizzy ticket away and bought a ticket to see Kate instead. Probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Two of the most talented women to grace the stage. Kate Bush. Genius writer, composer and artist. Victoria Wood. Genius writer, great songs and great wit.
+Charlie don't surf ......unconventional means a way that suits and agrees to you.........whatever your style in music life and allsorts its an individual choice.......just likely alot of people wouldnt choose your type of music.but would that make you lose sleep.....no every fuckers A CRITIC these days,,,,,no need to moan its like you have gone out of your way to watch this then degrade....why did you watch it then....
Charlie don't surf go away normie everyone loves kate and thats why she is more sucsesful than other older artists and still keeps on the charts. its clear she has a slightly younger audience like me otherwise how does she always get near the top of the chats
@@charliedontsurf1494 I think CDS said that just to get a reaction off you all. He/she must have listened to alot of K music and realised their brain capacity was only qualified enough to appreciate; Spice Girls, Bros and twaddle like that?
My God what a thoroughly beautiful woman Kate Bush is, and yet she's so normal and down to Earth, she's an Enigma a Prodigy and a Living Legend ... I love you Kate
As a musician speaking, I absolutely adore the talent of this woman, she is so artistic and articulate so beautiful so passionate, one of my influences
Many artists have covered it. Apparently they love its genius and perfection as much as we do. My favorite is from Jennie Abrahamson & Gothenburg Symphony which pretty much nails it, closest to Kate herself as you can get without it being Kate. A heavenly homage. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jnXsc-EBtFA.html&ab_channel=G%C3%B6teborgsSymfoniker
It took me many years to appreciate the work of Kate Bush although I did love Wuthering Heights at the time. Her music was so much deeper than just the commercial pop (which I also loved) nowadays I can see just how much ahead of her time she really was.
Why is everyone so down on Michael Aspel. Aspel was a bloody good tv host. I was disappointed when his Saturday night show was cancelled. At least with Aspel you get an INTELLIGENT interview unlike other other TV hosts you could mention. Aspel asked good concise questions and wasn't a notice box like Norton or Ross or any of those other idiots. Aspel was one of the best TV hosts going. Wish he was still on in TV.
Aspel is a legend! A great interviewer that was laid back and made his guests relax! I can’t forget his tv presentation on Strange But True! His voice and manner really made that programme! It wouldn’t have been the same without him!
Absolutely brilliant muscially. She would not even get a contract today as the music today has to all sound the same just like modern cars all look the same. We are in the age of forced mediocrity but it's so good to look back at true, real creativity.
Couldn't agree more. Music is one of the great arts (Kate's certainly is) and cars should always please the eye in an artistic way. Today's music and cars, they're anodyne, sterile and without art.
@@thischarminglovehound2376 nope, she was funny! As for the "barking mad" stuff, I daresay her album sales rather made up for it. Perhaps you weren't around back then to know she took a lot of stick for the high pitched voice and amateur dramatics dance/mime. I loved it myself but the average person who was buying Showaddywaddy 45's found it odd.
Cheers for posting. l remember this well being shown on TV. I also remember the excitement I felt when she said about the release of the Red Shoes album.
@Samantha Esra..........Not sure which shows you have been attending, but even thou some artists do wear skimpy outfits, no one is walking around on-stage nude. That is against the law in almost every state. There are always local cops lurking around at every big-name performer's show looking for a reason to make headlines. Besides Kate was the type of person who was all about personal freedom. If someone decided to do that at their show, she would have probably been defending their right to self-expression. She never spent her time worrying about who did or did not like to wear clothes.
I'm being sarcastic about the modern day female performers and singers who dress and dance like prostitutes. Kate is a classic dancer with grace and charm. No one can compare to her.
In the end, Kate bush won over the people who mocked her and made her look like she's a crazy person ... Kate became the most respected artist in the music industry cause she was confident of what art she gave to the people and her msuc lived throughout the years, and now a whole new generation knows kate bush and he music get viral on social media platforms
KateBushIsTheBest True. I think her secret is that she always wanted to be her and not whatever media, contemporary "culture" or even people around her wanted her to be. A lot of people mistake that for arrogance or some sort of self-entitlement. A lot of artists get into some "the-whole-world-revolves-around-me-and-you'd-better-know-it" stage in their 30's if they have had a music career of at least a decade. Not so with Kate.
Victoria Wood so jealous. Ha! Aspel so Partridge! That Madonna/coathanger line was pure Partridge! Kate Bush = sent from heaven and shouldn't have even bothered with this drossy show.
+pigknickers She's not jealous. She asked Kate a question about how she works because she realised she is extremely talented and wanted to know about the process. She didn't 'get' Wuthering Heights when it came out. I remember at the time that a _lot_ of people didn't 'get' Kate. They thought Kate was taking the piss. Wood also ribbed Aspel about the "male fantasy" question quite a bit.
Lol you fool. Victoria Wood is a great woman in her own field. Why do you feel the need to put others down to bolster Kate Bush? You sound like a right nutter. Kate's a hell of a nicer person than you are. Maybe you should try to emulate her.
I'm an American and, in my 49 years of living, I only just heard of Kate Bush today. I listened to two songs and concluded that Madonna and Cindy Lauper heavily copied some elements of her style, so I was pleased when the host stated something to the effect of Madonna being inspired by Ms. Bush.
there both on a crappy talk show where its usually the case that the guests have met before the shows started usually in a green coloured room which is quite aptly named "the green room" . so i if you think about it, saying hello to someone you been talking to back stage to about 10 minutes ago is crazy .
At 4:30 where he asks Kate if she enjoys being the subject of male fantasies- what a strange question! She looked really uncomfortable there. You still find that today on talk shows. women, especially actresses or musicians, are asked such stupid irrelevant questions in interviews! She's an artist, not a pin-up. the interview was going alright until the inevitable happened.
Well, it wasn't unmotivated, it came from the fact that his office received a lot of letters from male admirers, and the question just popped out of him. You're missing out of the fact that he later retracted it, just seconds after, and said it was "a horrible question."
Jordan Moore Because she's a beautiful woman. No disrespect, she is definitely a genius in her craft, but she's a woman after all; being sexualized in a way is a normal thing, especially if you're beautiful and stunning. Straight guys get turned on by that. If you're an ugly woman and a genius in your craft, then you will still get that recognition of being respected as an artist without the sexualized tagging or being labelled as a pin-up girl.
I first heard of her when Maxwell sang her song woman’s work. When I heard him say it was from Kate bush is when I started to listen to her. And man Maxwell wasn’t kidding when he said she was the bomb. So unique
Great to see that old footage, it helps re-establish why I adored Kate so much, and Wood so little, and Aspel did not even register as someone worth even remembering.
I don't agree. I think Victoria and Kate are wonderful together--both very honest, open. I admire Wood for admitting that she was insecure when she first heard/saw Kate, but the she got over it, and took to her. Kate is just utterly admirable by so many, and it's not like she hasn't known and interacted with Aspel and Wood before--those three all go back away together or, at least, on each others "radars."
Did you hear Mark Radcliffe's interview on Radio 2 a couple of years ago? That was good, he asked all the sort of questions you would love to ask if you got to interview her. He was quite cheeky with her but he can get away with it somehow.
Kate and Victoria are different personalities. Victoria kept being brought in by Michael because the producers (it was on commercial network ITV) didn't want the audience to turn off due to them being bored by Kate - she even referred to herself as "boring" at 6:37
You can see the original AA clip here on RU-vid and one of his questions is "So you are 19 are you" and she says "No I am twenty." 15 years later he is still claiming that she was a teenager.
Aspel was yet another lazy interviewer who didn't bother to read the briefs written for him by a team of researchers! Terry Wogan was similarly lazy and asinine with his famous guests.
