It's great to see that somebody acknowledges the authenticity and originality of such gorgeous voices - that of Bjork and Morrissey, of course. In an environment of wanna-be Eddie Vedders and college radio bands such as 311/Blink 187/Papa Roach (whose voices can hardly be told apart on tracks other than their hit singles), it is great to have such comforting and recognizable voices on our airwaves, even if they come alonge once in a blue moon. I'm also a sucker for a good SADE track.

She is the most original and hands down the most creative female in music. She proves she can trancend all musical genres! Thats what makes paying $275.00 for a ticket to her upcoming show a necessity! I almost paid $300 to see moz at the greek and lo and behold, some jackals got onstage and moz ran of mid-song.....whew was i glad i didnt waste my money! besides you have to fight for your life at moz shows nowadays...and hopefully you wont get stabbed afterwards. (hollywood palladium show 12/99?)

I recently saw Bjork and Morrissey over at a London pub (i can't remember the name) no just kidding! gotcha!

-Bjork is a boxer and hits like a man (some journalists could confirm)
-Morrissey is a wimp and just calls people liars (journalists could confirm again) when he's one himself.
Other difference : I'm sure Bjork's parents aren't ashamed of her ...
 

My recollection of this is bound to be sketchy at best but I remember picking up and leafing through a Bjork biography and seeing the handwritten lyrics to "army of me"? the first track on "Post"? Anyway the original lines to the song had a verse that said something like "you will be as miserable as Morrissey"...Anybody else see this?

I saw this at Passions Just Like Mine under "Parodies & tributes" (http://tmregistry.com/passion/covers.htm):

"Army Of Me" - Bjork

In her "Post" book, she writes: " 'Army Of Me' is about Morrissey, or anyone who feels they can't cope." The song originally included a line mentioning Morrissey, something like "stop acting like Morrissey". It could be a coincidence, but in the video for the song, a timebomb with the word "Smith" on it bring her and her friend/lover together.

I remember bjork slagging off (charming phrase that!) morrissey a few years ago with all the tiresome predictable stuff about being miserable etc. that's the kind of comment that you hear from people that simply don't 'get' moz/the smiths. people that don't understand his fantastic self-expression, powers of observation, his way with words and both the sadness AND joy in so many of the songs.

I thought Bjork would've had the intelligence to appreciate morrissey and not to make the usual lazy, predictable comments but alas no.

John Steed

I just got her new cd the other day. It's very interesting, but I have to be in the mood to listen to her. I think she is beautiful, and yes, she is far greater than most female artist out today.

Comparing her to Morrissey is a little pointless. Tori Amos, Ani Difranco (especially in Lyrics), PJ Harvey or (Early) Sinead O'Connor are more like him.

However The article compares them in the valid points only.

Just my opinions
