message: As far as I know "The Stripes" was the Album of the band "The Stripes", where Nena was the front singer, but it's not a album of her. So I'm not sure if it should be added to her list.
No, it should be. Half of the Members of The Stripes formed Nena, and songs from The Stripes were released in nena's Definitive Collection.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.228.133 (talk) 01:37, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I deleted the link to Amazon for two reasons. One, I'm not sure it belongs here at all. Second, it wasn't actually going to Amazon but someone's affiliate store. Uncool. If someone wishes to make money (though lord knows how much he's getting from wikipedia referrals) he should advertise on his own page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.136.139 (talk) 16:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone should add this to the article.  As an aryan german it is quite ovious that Nena is not a native German and comes from somewhere else (Juden).Look at her dark featuren like skin and hair and eyes. Maybe she are from east or south europe but she is not german in heritage but she was born here  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magicjuanjuan (talk • contribs) 06:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You'd need to cite a source.  Her father came from a Catholic family in the easternmost part of Germany---I think maybe the part that became part of Poland after WPII.  Her mother is from western Germany.  Her late paternal uncle Franz Kerner was a Catholic priest. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:02, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Who cares, Magicjuanjuan?  There is not and never was such thing as an "Aryan" race.  That was a fiction invented during the Third Reich and has been thoroughly discredited by reputable anthropologists. —QuicksilverT @ 03:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I've heard on one famous Serbian radio station that Nena has roots from Serbia, so can anyone check it and add to the article. Thank You.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.223.27.140 (talk) 08:44, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There is nothing to add to the article in this circumstances because that's very far from being true. Maybe Snežana Berić called Ekstra Nena or Extra Nena, who started at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1992, is the person you are mixing up with Nena.--Losdedos (talk) 17:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This article says:
The couple and the four children currently live in Hamburg.
The fact that Nena found out via a phone call in June 2009 that her daughter is four months pregnant seems like a reason to doubt that her daughter is still living under Nena's roof.  (And what of the daughter's 19-year-old twin brother?) Michael Hardy (talk) 12:12, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Out-of-date information? 

message: An anonymous editor in Austria apparently attempted to add the 2010 release of the single called "Du bist so gut für mich" to the table of solo singles, and somehow mangled the format.  Could someone adept at editing HTML tables add that? Michael Hardy (talk) 07:24, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  HTML tables mangled 

message: The article says this:
"She has developed an interest in the teachings of Indian mystic Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) in recent years, and practises his meditation methods, an impression of which is featured in the "Wir sind wahr" video.Nena bekennt sich als Fan des Bhagwan-Gurus Osho, Die Welt, 26 September 2009
Should the article mention the incident where some journalist reported that she had joined Osho's sect and she quickly issued a public denial? Michael Hardy (talk) 20:57, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, Nena released a public denial on the same day of the cited Die Welt publication (26 September 2009), here you are: Hörn se mal (translated). Here's also the Bild issue which quotes her statement: Popstar Nena ist kein Sekten-Fan. (It's not that Bild.de itself is reliable, but Nena.de surely is, on this matter). I think it's time to remove the whole thing from the article, and remove rather than rewrite, since this rumor doesn't seem to be still circulating anywhere except the Osho fan sites. — Mike Novikoff 22:40, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

message: hi. could someone include in the article how 'nena' is pronounced? during the '99 red balloons' period, the djs in my region said, 'NAY-nuh'. on youtube there's an interview from a few years ago where the dude, a german-speaker, if not a native one, keeps calling her 'NEE-nuh', and she makes no sign that anything's wrong. then, listening to a live clip from the early '80s, after the song ends, the crowd (a german one, i think; she's speaking german to them between songs) starts chanting what sounds like, 'NINE-uh, NINE-uh, NINE-uh'. it would be helpful to we 'foreigners' if the definitive pronunciation were in the article. thanks. 63.142.146.194 (talk) 22:31, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, the vowel, as Nena herself pronounces it, is definitely as in "seen", not as in "bed". I haven't yet heard the single "Berufsjugendlich" (is there any difference from the album version?), but it's already clear enough in the title track of the Oldschool album.Secondly, her nickname comes from Spanish, not from German. And in given context it's not a regular word or a common name, but an individual nickname acquired in the early childhood, so some individual rule (or exception) may apply rather than those of any existing language. For instance, people in Russia often pronounce [ˈnɛna], so as not to confuse it with a common name Nina, but it's just based on spelling and is totally wrong. It only emphasizes the need to introduce the correct pronunciation in an encyclopedia.I'm not an expert in IPA and not quite sure whether it should be written as [ɪ] or [iː] or something else. However, my variant [ˈnɪna] is based on listening to OGG samples provided in Help:IPA and comparing them to the above-mentioned title track of "Oldschool". — Mike Novikoff (talk) 04:15, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
