Never really followed her too much, but Hermann Heiss Er is one of the greatest all time messed up videos, and the song is pretty fun too. She has this Wonder Woman meets La Toya Jackson getup in it.

@NF - I'll check that video out!!
@Stevvy -

I had no idea she was a judge on some show like that!! I'm really enjoying her self titled album at the minute, her voice is powerful and gritty, I'm starting to really like her! 8-)

My faves are these German takes of hers.

Erfurt & Gera

Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpWKrIxi2GY
She's been beaten up by her boyfriend but nobody saw it and she can't prove it because her boyfriend forgot to bring the technicolor.

From a talkshow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avGPWYPwU_Y&feature=related
At 1:14 she said: "I find it terrible what this fat woman is doing to me." Hilarious. The woman in red kept on provoking her that she was absent doing some Asian religion and that she did see aliens and UFOs. Funny how she turns her voice down at 2:05. It should have been a serious polit-talk as you can recon from the other participants.

From another talkshow featuring Angela Merkel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU3ONOMeHc0&feature=related
Nina stands up for legalizing heroin for medical therapy. At 1:48 "My dear mother I scream at you as long as I want!! Certainly!!!"

An here she talks about UFOs and expels a scientist from the show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOXcKcSQD9w&feature=related
At 1:12 after the scientist just left she says something in English for you guys.

Well, she has not enjoyed the best education & crack. :-?

Last one:
Du hast mein Herz geklaut (You stole my heart)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48FrjKz492k
A song about being left behind. She's not talking the verses, though. The lyrics are FANTASTIC. I think everyone can relate to this song.

And also I like Romeo & Juliaah and Ein Herz kann man nicht repariern, duets with Udo Lindenberg. Do you know Udo Lindenberg?

Here's the Hermann Heiss Er video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZEdxHT_lbA

Dunno why I love it, but I do. It's sooooo creepy yet addictive, and the 6 1/2 minute version is Heaven.

by **stevyy** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 1:16 pm

i love Thomas D ft. Nina Hagen.. that song is great!

Love it!! however those armpits!!

From what I've heard of Nina her self titled album is the best!! From people who've actually heard her music what is your best album?

by **CrazyCrazy** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 11:46 am

Her Ekstasy album is total magic, I'll post links later for those who wish to hear some tracks from it! 8-)

Great voice!

I heard her cover of "Personal Jesus" some time ago, it's amazing, except for the lyrics changes.

I'm glad you like her and yes I simply love her voice it has to be said! I'm still in the process of listening to all of her albums, there's so much to listen to I'm looking forward to exploring!! 8-)

by **CrazyCrazy** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 12:11 am

Right after really giving her a fair hearing, I must say the following albums are AMAZING!

Nunsexmonkrock - It's all kinds of wonderful for me!

Fearless - The only way I can describe it is like it's an alternative quirky dance/disco album, I love it!
In Ekstasy - It's eclectic but it's a punk album at heart, one of her best so far! 8-)

I might get slated for saying this but I do hear Kate Bush in her quite a bit of her work but it's like 3 times as crazy!! :lol:

Her self titled one is more commercial but features some really nice tracks aswell! I've heard quite a few other albums, her albums seem to range from bad 'Revolution Ballroom' to masterpieces 'Nunsexmonkrock'

. I'm still exploring her and her band's albums so my faves will undoubtedly change! :wink:

by **theArmy** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 5:58 pm

no she isn't 8-)

don't discuss that with me, it would be a easy battle for me

by **ThomyX** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 11:28 pm

I don't know much about her, neither heard her music many times, but there were times, when you, crazycrazy, linked to some of her songs in the 'What album are you currently listening?' topic, and I checked them out. I know I liked them, but don't know which ones they were... :lol:

I love 'Love-Hi' for sure, but going to check out more of her! :wink:

She's definitely got more personality and look at those performances when she was their age.

Wow thank you!

Great that your checking links I love you for that!

Yes please do check more of her, the thing is with Nina I've come to realise is that her music is so very eclectic, some albums you'll hate and some you'll LOVE, you need to be lucky I guess and hear the right stuff first! :wink:

@Chun & The Army - Let not dispute talent, Nina has a very charismatic and great dynamic voice and her music is eclectic and interesting = why I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan! Oh yeah has personality in buckets! 8-)

Some random tracks for those who'll listen:

Album 'Fearless':

o The Change
o I Love Paul
o My Sensation
o New York, New York
o Newsflash

If you enjoy these you'll love the whole 'Fearless' album!

Woo, there are some great songs in that list! I love 'The Change', 'I Love Paul' and 'New York, New York', the latter is so crazy it made me smile.

I'm not too keen on 'My Sensation', and I find 'Newsflash' an OK song.
