The embodiment of beauty. Thank you God for putting ABBA on this sinful planet!

Whoever says that he/she was not emotionally affected of this song is out of this world.

Agnetha Faltskog has an incredible vocal range She's an Soprano and Frida is an Mezzo Soprano no wonder why the girls sound so beautiful together.

Transfixed. ...watching her sing...it's soo..beautiful.....perfection.

Probably one of the saddest break up songs ever made. Agnetha knocks it out of the park with that performance.

Her facial expressios are so dynamic it makes it seem like she is singing directly to you

Soothing my soul since the 70s. This song is pop perfection!

Agnetha has a pitch perfect voice.

Wooow AGNETHA IS SO BRILLIANT❣💞

One of my favorite Abba tunes! It’s so pretty yet melancholy. Nice harmonies/counterparts. She has a lovely voice.

Hi Chad! A beautiful song, sung by a beautiful woman! 💙

The vocal range, the bass, the dynamics... OMG A m a z i n g

About the “roles” of each member of ABBA, the two men were (actually I should say “are” as they just reunited with new songs and a new album in Nov 2021) the songwriters, arrangers and producers for the group. Benny is the main composer of the music with much input from Bjorn, and Bjorn is the lyricist. Benny plays all the keyboards while Bjorn plays guitars on some of the tracks. Earlier on, the guys would have lead vocals on certain songs but as time went by, the lead vocals were largely handled by Agnetha and Anni-Frid (Frida). Bjorn would have solo songs in their 1976, 1979 and 1981 albums. All four would contribute to background vocals. Agnetha and Frida would each have a few solo songs per album. For example, in the Arrival album from which this song is from, Agnetha sang lead on When I Kissed The Teacher, My Love, My Life, while Frida sang lead on Knowing Me, Knowing You and Money x3. They had joint lead vocals on Dancing Queen, Dum Dum Diddle, That’s Me and Tiger. Bjorn did lead on Why Did It Have To Be Me. Arrival is an instrumental but they sang some vocalisations on it. Should one of them sing lead, it would usually be the case that all or most of the others would join in during the chorus with those amazing harmonies. If you want songs with more “vocal participation” from the other members, try: The Name of the Game (one of their most complex and beautiful songs) Hole in Your Soul Eagle The Piper He is Your Brother (early ABBA). Their entire output is outstanding. In fact, their non hits/album cuts are really very good and on par with many of the hit songs they are famous for. They worked with the Bee Gees in the UNICEF concert in 1979. They expressed great admiration for the Brothers Gibb’s work. Bjorn went on record saying he wished he composed their songs on Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and their song Summernight City was inspired by the Bee Gees’ disco music. They were even admired by the Carpenters. After meeting them and hearing them perform Thank You For the Music, Karen performed that song live on a talk show in USA. Now they’ve just released two new songs that show that in spite of their ages which range from 71 to 76, they still have the skills and talent to produce amazing music!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My all time favourite song with ABBA ...

Loved your reaction. ABBA is one deep rabbit whole. So much amazing music through the years. More ABBA please. Thanks.

I've always found it so amazing that you americans can use almost any of your vowels to produce the sound of the swedish letter "ö" in Björns name; word, turn, sir, herd, journey, etc. And still you persistently call him "Byorn". His name is pronounced like "yearn" with a "b" at the beginning and means "bear" 🐻in swedish. Ok? And yes, Agnetha sings like an angel (without auto-tune).

All four members of ABBA could sing for me Agnetas soprano voice is the best but also for me ABBA is the marriage of Agnetas soprano and frieda's mezzo soprano voices the harmonies were incredible and still are❤❤❤

Usually it is all four members but the 2 women appear to be the primary vocalists.

I remember when I received the Arrival LP, as a present from my cousin, in Christmas 1976. 🤩

Agnetha... I am feeling my heart beating faster again while watching this.Who wouldnt have liked to be huged and kissed by this beautiful,ethereal creature?

I love Abba and I love this song. Thank you for reacting to this. Abba is an awesome band, with a treasure trove of fabulous songs. Ima happy they reunited.

Very nice. ABBA was everywhere in the 70's and I think I just took them for granted. After the film Mamma Mia (first one in 2008) came out it renewed by interest.

What a beautiful surprise! how good that You came to this special song with a special video, to your first reaction to ABBA songs remember that ABBA is a swedish pop group between 1972/1982, that in 2018 return at studio to recording two songs (released two weeks ago, today in UK Charts #9 & #14) and finally complete a new álbum that will be released in next November 2021 ABBA is an acronim with initials of first names, and in the begining was two couples: A Agnetha (blonde singer, 1950) B Björn (guitarist songwriter, 1945) B Benny (keyboard songwriter, 1946) A Anni Frid (brunette singer, 1945) "My love My life" (1976) in my opinion is the best ABBA ballad although these lyrics are sad, farewell, heartbroken It is a beautiful melody in an almost symphonic tone and Agnetha's voice rises to superlative levels very well accompanied in the choirs but She takes all the leadership and finishes with a powerful record Her ex husband, the guitarist songwriter Björn, said that in these song could see the power ranger of Agnetha's soprano voice in my opinion it is one of the seven best vocal interpretations of Her: S.O.S. I've been waiting for you My love My life Thank you for the music Chiquitita The winner takes it all Slepping through my fingers (I said that all these are the 'Seven Wonders of Agnetha' hahaha) the video is very special I think it's the only one in which a single ABBA member stars from begin to finish, and that's Agnetha (the vídeo is part of a Special TV, Agnetha appears alone but the recording is with all ABBA members) so She can be seen in the close-ups of Her gestures and emotions, She is absolutely beautiful in this context

Goodness Gracious!!!!!! I think I am in love!

I love Abba as I love the Bee Gees. More Abba please

Agnetha was in her happy place doing this. Her dream was to write and sing her own songs. There it is.

One of my favorite ABBA songs of all time. If you didnt know they recently reformed and just released 2 new songs after being gone for nearly 40 years. Amazing talent by all 4 members. Thanks for featuring them. There are so many great songs besides just the hits.

This song is just a masterpiece - but then,a lot of their music was.Agnetha's signature song ,it's just haunting,so,so good.

Thanks for the ABBA. I like the clip from Poland a little better but yeah. Agnetha's voice in this is just magical. Another great one with her is "Slipping Through My Fingers". Favourite clip with her is from "Show Express" in 82 doing "The Day Before You Came" which is the last song recorded by ABBA. Having said that lots and lots of Frinda songs are just as good, just a different flavour of ABBA.

My Love My Life is a truly gorgeous song. Try out "ABBA - Summer Night City (ABBA In Concert - SVT)" or "ABBA - Does Your Mother Know & Hole In Your Soul (Live at Wembley 1979)" for great ABBA live experiences.

Hermosa voz de Agnetta...felicitaciones Chad..hermoso tema..!!👏👏💪💪💙💛💙💛💙

Sweetie, this is 🎶🎶🎶🎶beautiful 💖 when both couples divorced every time I heard ( knowing you, knowing me) I cried. You need to hear the live version Chad. The look in their eyes will 💔💔.

Chad! Welcome to ABBA.

One of my favourite songs from there album Arrival

ABBA are Legendary & Timeless ABBASOLUTELY SWEDETASTIC still ABBA crazy all these years later so many many many great songs

If you want to hear them sing live, check Knowing me Knowing you from Dick Cavett show from 1981, with Frida singing the lead vocals with her beautiful mezzo soprano voice.

Dear Chad Agneta is multitalented she can sing from deep to the highest notes without problem and I am so lucky to be a Swedich person who grew up with their Music,,,,,,,.LOVE FROM SWEDEN (again)❤❤❤

"I HAVE A DREAM", "DANCING QUEEN", "CHIQUITITA", "TAKE A CHANCE ON ME", "I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO", "VOULEZ-VOUS", "MY MAMA SAID", "GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!", "S.O.S", "FERNANDO", "THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME", "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY", "THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL", "THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC", "LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME" are a few of their many hits. Have fun going down this rabbit hole, my Friend!💕

Great reaction! Beautiful song I’ve never heard before from ABBA. Memories of being a kid, not knowing anything about music stuff but hearing lovely Fernando on the radio (1976)

You must also listen to I've Been Waiting For You. Another stellar vocal from Agnetha.

For you consideration, some of my other favorite ABBA tunes: Take a Chance on Me (the guys get in on the harmony in a great way), Name of the Game, Knowing Me Knowing You, Waterloo, Dancing Queen of course, Fernando, and Chiquitita.

This track was a nod to 1Occ’s ‘I’m not in love’ both songs I love however I would have loved to hear Agnetha sing a version of it.

ABBA? Yes please. Subbed. Generally the two girls took turns to lead but the big feature was their incredible harmonies and the boys were also good on backing vocals. You have heard the angel Agnetha today but this group goes very deep, endless pop hits and also classic lesser knowns like this and the endearing "Slipping through my fingers" If you want to hear how wonderful Anna-Frid vocals are then listen to the magical, "Like an angel passing through my room" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZraelrmYqrqRf2w.html

Yes, it's pronounced B'yorn. And it's ag' NEE-thuh, or some people say ag'NEE-tuh. This is my all-time favorite ABBA song. I was glad that they used it in Mamma Mia II, and that they did such a good job with it. I cried! This is originally a break up song, but in the movie, they changed the lyrics a bit and changed it into an ode to motherhood. It was beautiful.

God bless you all family

ABBA had some beautiful songs. In the late 70's they had a tv special on that included Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John. It was so good. I have run across it on KZfaq and watched it again. Frida sings solo a lot. But when the four of them sing together they harmonize and it's beautiful.

Agnetha was never more beautiful than at this period in her life.

It is a group song but Agnetha is singing this song.solo. It is on the album Arrival.

Hands down the best Abba song by a mile for me! In a complete class of its own. I think that the parts where Frida adds makes Agnetha's beauty of her voice come to the fore even more. That is, it blends so well together. I could listen to this song all day every day.

So far, in ABBA albums, there has only been one song which is completely sung by just one member - Like An Angel Passing Through My Room - is solely sung by Frida with no background vocals by any of them. This stark, emotional piece is hauntingly beautiful, nevertheless…it’s lyrical content in a sense demands that it be sung by one person. This is in their final album before the reunion (The Visitors, 1981). There is also a song that is almost only sung by Agnetha, (from their first album, Ring Ring, 1973), entitled Disillusion. There is a brief harmony vocal that sounds like it’s sung by Frida. What’s interesting about this song is that it’s the only song in all of ABBA’s albums that was composed by her with lyrics by Bjorn - the rest were by Benny and Bjorn with a number of songs also having input from their then manager Stig Anderson. To see all of them singing in action, the best video to watch would be Does Your Mother Know/Hole In Your Soul in the Wembley 1979 concert! Pure fun and energy! Both ladies had solo careers in the Swedish pop music scene prior to ABBA, and during ABBA’s long break starting in 1982, both went on to make more solo albums, mainly in English (Frida had one in Swedish).

This was ABBA not solo. Agnetha sang some songs and Frida (Anni-Frid) sang some songs. They ofter sang together and each sang parts of songs. The magic of ABBA is how beautiful the 2 girls voices blend together. You need to watch "ABBA The Movie" to see live concert footage of the full band.

Agnetha the G is silent - and yes she has an incredible voice and she is drop dead gorgeous - I stand corrected its not totally silent - sorry

Björn is pronounced as in "Earn" money (for instance) .with a long "ö"-sound. And the "B" is not mute, neither is the "j", OK? Easy! Agneta is, despite the spelling, pronounced as "Angneta" - and with a stress on the second syllable "AgnEta" OK again? See - it was Easy. Proud ABBA-Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden.

Love you picked this song. Hits me everytime. The tears just flow..

The chorus is both voices but Frida isn't shown for some reason.

Frida is singing in the background, well someone is. It was performed by all four of them for sure, and possibly an additional few backing them up with instruments or vocals.

😐Agnetha Fältskog is not a "near soprano" voice..........she is a "true soprano". And Anni-Frid is a mezzo soprano.

Listen to The winner takes it all........it will blow your mind

The Winner Takes it all, Chiquitita, Mamma Mia, Fernando, I have i dream...Any of these songs and more will give you an idea of who ABBA were, the two of them were composition and choirs, the voices Frida and of course Agnetha, her incredible voice and when combined with that of the former, perfection. The best POP group of all time

If you had just googled before you would have known it's an ABBA song, not an Agnetha solo track 😉

You really breaking me up MAN,,,,,,,,,,LOVE FROM SWEDEN❤❤❤

Björn: Just say "burn", but put a "y" like in "you" between the "b" and the "u". Than you have it right. Agnetha: There's no such thing as a "th" (like in "think") in any other language (although the sound exists, it's never spelled "th"). So the "h" in Agnetha is silent (just like in the river "Thames" or in the name "Thomas").

And after you listen to this masterpiece it won't be the last because there's plenty more to come

1:25 The B is certainly not silent. B+yarn would probably be a decent approximation of his real name in terms of English phonemes.

Albert have always been an iconic band and still are. They still have the pure magic of bringing total enjoyment for us. J voices are totally incredible and gel so well together. I love to see a whole arrangement and the lyrics are outstanding. Thank you for another great reaction Chad

She is a soprano...

The original title of this song was "monsieur monsieur" but bjorn changed the lyrics. In the demo of monsiuer,monsieur"the vocal range of Agnetha is amazing...perfect and the most finest vocal range (soprano)than agnetha reached..please listen to this old version..you 'll be amazed

This is one of the very few songs in the world of music that affects me to 100 %. I get sad memories and almost start to cry every time and I am not the crying type 😉Perfect text + music and performed by Swedens best female singer in history.

Double wow . Just beautiful.

You are so spot on Chad, one of THE best pop groups ever! And my word, this lady has vocals that one cannot describe, pure as can be, just an absolutely fantastic voice!!👏🏻👏🏻 Great commentary from you👍🏻

Thx for the reaction! ✌🏼 The song is in the key of C major. Agnetha Fältskog's vocal range spans from G3 to E5 during the song. According to Björn is this the song of all of their songs that bests demonstrates her amazing vocal span. ❤️ The most sincere ABBA fans consider this song one of their best among with ”If it wasnt for the nights”, wich is considered to be their most underrated groovy dancetrack. That song is very positiv but with very dark lyrics wich Björn wrote during his and Agnethas break-up. The only ”official” video is from a japanese TV-show from 1978. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZdgY9N_r9GVaYk.html

Ok Chad so is it telepathy, doing ABBA. 😀 Another of my favourite band

They've gotten back together, good music doesn't die. They are almost as good as the Bee Gees, notice that I said, almost. Other songs by them: Take a chance on me, Dancing queen, The winner takes all, Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight, Lovelight, when all is said and done, I still have faith in you

Checkout ABBA song S.O.S1975 video or So Long( Made In Sweden For Export 1975) video

Thanks, Chad! ❤‍🩹 #ChadLSummers #MyLoveMyLife #ABBA

abba was a girls band and in front of them were the beatles they were clearly underestimated the radio producers fixed the listeners on a band BEATLES.

Who dont know abba???? They are the best!!!!

Bjorn = byourn. The B is not silent. My favorite ABBA song is "Does your mother know" sung by Bjorn. This band was absolutely up there with all the big recording artists for sales and concerts in the 70's. The movie "Marielle's Wedding" was based on their songs as were the play and the movie "Mamma Mia". They were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame by Robin and Barry Gibb. Robin said their compositions were amazing, their voices beautiful and their songs will endure because good music lasts forever. Unlike a lot of female singers these two had power and range and the guys harmonized beautifully. Many of their songs sounded simple but were actually quite complex. Usually the women sang together on all songs while the guys were backing singers and the musicians. They had too many great songs to list....BUT.... Slipping through my fingers, Super Trooper, Waterloo, Mamma Mia, Take a chance on me, The winner takes it all, SOS, Fernando, Chiquitita, I do I do I do I do I do, Thank you for the music.... how's that for starters? Their outfits were typical tacky 70's glam. PS - Chad, Please do watch they video link Eduardo left for the UNICEF concert if only for your own pleasure! It's only a few minutes long, basically one song not the whole concert. What a collection of talent 🎶🎤🎹🔥🔥 - Earth wind and Fire, Kris Kristofferson, Rod Stewart, The Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, John Denver, Olivia Newton John, Donna Summer....all on one stage. Sadly many of them gone now. 😥

Bjorn - pronounce Byorn. Means bear.

Knowing Me Knowing You by ABBA is a good example of the full band performing, however, Frida does the solo rather than Agnetha.

♥️

Well Tad (or is it Had or Chad? Sorry If I'm saying it wrong, but I'm not American and so you'll have to help me out here) thanks for choosing this song to review. It was a good choice with a good review though again I do not speak American well so do not understand what means Jiminy Cricket which thought you did have in speech balloon. Nor am I seeing dang in my translation dictionary. But I do understand that you enjoyed Agnetha's performance (pronounced annYETta with emphasis on YET and your are surprised by her range of notes. Please do another reactivid Mr Chap.

It's ABBA and Agnetha singing .

Beorn sounds just fine, very American(or of middle-earth!) If you wanna have a go at it, it is really pronounced B-journ(al,) just cut -al from journal and insert a B in front: B-journ.

My God, side view and frowning, you look so much like my Uncles and older brother!🤣 On another note, I've always loved the combination of Agnetha (an-YE-tha) and Frida's voices! Before Enya, theirs were the original Ethereal Voices!❤️

Love your reaction videos Chad. I don't think this song was pitched in any way to give Agnetha a solo career. At the outset, both girls were huge stars in the Swedish music scene on their own before ABBA came together. Agnetha's voice has always been brilliant and in an interview she said that both men in ABBA pushed the girls to hit the highest notes they could...and even more.... and we see the stunning results in all their songs, perfection in both vocals and instrumentation. Annifrid (Frida) mentioned that most background vocals on their songs are done by them two with the boys occasionally chiming in. What a talent they are! I suggest you also react to Agnetha's solo records post ABBA, you might find some treasures there.

i danced to abba in high school and i do not remember this song at all

Do yourself a favour, take a listen to ABBA The winner takes it all. There's a wonderful surprise awaits. Agnetha's voice is unmatched.

Amezing

She and Elvis are pitch perfecto.

The tickets for their hologram tour in 2022 are at eye watering pricesThey are hundreds of euros each. Ouch!

The most Beautiful women. A goddess!

Agnetha is phonetically pronounced An-yet-a.

Agnetha si beautiful

B Jorn

U butchered both their names! But Agnetha's name is not easy to pronounce

Why don´t you just look it up on eg. Wikipedia?

The G is inclusive, like in ping pong. So...Ahng. And the TH pronunciation is like a hard T, only with your tongue touching your teeth instead of the top of your mouth, but not quite as soft as if you're saying earth. Ahngyetta. No hard G.
