She has said that she will never act again, thanks to that prick...what's his name? The one who always victimizes his women in films...the one who got Bjork so emotionally upset (they didn't get along during the shoot)...
However, "It's Oh So Quiet" is one of her best videos. As is "Bachelorette"...Oh, and "Hyperballad".

Well, Bjork may not be an actor, but she struck gold in DANCER IN THE DARK.
I actually love her last album. She fascinates me--she's really smart about music. She's genius.

Posted: 8/9/05 at 12:05pmI love Homogenic so much. I need to hear the most recent one.

Love,
The most recent one is nothing compared to Homogenic...
It's not like her other stuff. It's even more acquired than her regular creations...
Personally, I can't understand why her newest album got great reviews. I really do love Bjork, but was extremely unimpressed with this one. I got the cd for my birthday last year, and skimmed through it once, unlike Vespertine, that I listened to over and over...
Hopefully, her next album will be better.

Her popularity completely mystifies me. She can not sing. She can not stay on tune. Her voice is grating. She shrieks & yelps and makes noises that sound like they are boiling up from the mouth of hell. She's the only "vocalist" that I've ever heard that makes me long for the soothing, dulcet tones of Yoko Ono.
To each his own I expect.

Well, Joe, we all have opinions, yet, it is unfortunate that you cannot see past yours to know that she is a musical genius. What she did with Dancer in the Dark by turning sound effects into music is pure prodigy. She also understands sound, and knows how to manipulate it by the many means, be it voice, instrument, or even computer.
As for the 'popularity' statement - she's not as popular as you think. She's actually more "Underground", which is better for her, because the mainstream can't seem to grasp her musical taste, or her very clever and very deep lyrics. i thank god she is no pop princess who sings a different song to the same tedious beat.
But, all in all, you don't HAVE to listen to her, now, do you?

Posted: 8/10/05 at 3:26pmI know some die hard Bjork fans who are not loving her new album though.

Love the music, hate the voice. I would love to listen to a CD of singers performing her music rather than listen to her weird baby-talk sing thing that she does. I know its her "signature", but it makes me want to leap from a water tower.
