VERY few vocalists with such versatility, emotive interpretation, unique gorgeous timbre, range, stage presence. Only Linda Ronstadt comes to mind as similarly legendary. Brava, Brava Frida, fabulous rendition!!
Her peers have nothing but huge praise for her vocal talent since her grade school days. _______ Benny, Bjorn and Michael Tretow ABBA's engineer considered Frida a master vocalist.

Goddess Frida. A perfect artist with a wonderful voice, great performing capabilities, charming attitude... and that mesmerizing smile. Fantastic woman.
This is an outstanding performance by Frida. The vocal range is incredible. If she had stuck to songs like this she could easily have done better in her solo career. Wow those eyes .. So sultry.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I just saw this performance by Frida and I thought "Wow, why didn't she record songs like this instead of those boring ballads?" The albums she made just did not take advantage of her talents.
wow,,,she really goes from deep to high just like that..she has always been my favourite and her voice is so soothing and unique..love Abba,love Frida .
I remember an interview where Frida mentioned that she wanted to accomplish something similar to Pat Benatar's musical style, on her solo English debut... Guess this clip is another proof of her admiration.
We must acknowledge something. She is not just technic, she combines interpretation, emotion and a lot of talent. I'm amazed the she still sound extremely good in live performances, even nowadays.
Frida's background was on the stage. She was identified in grade school for her vocal talent and her keen ear. She swept all the talent hunts. She started singing vocal centric songs: classical, American vocal standards, jazz. That type of had to really refine her technical abilities. She started to move into pop until 1969, although she preferred the more challenging vocal centric songs, but pop is more lucrative. Her vocal idol: Ella Fitzgerald. She has also mentioned Ertha Kitt.
Frida is beautiful,cool,lovely,humorous,energitic,strong and talented. Frida loves any kind of music and can sing any kind of music(a little Opera).Rock!
You are right I dont think she got the recognition she deserved I think she had a lot to do with wining Waterloo she has a soft special voice I always thought she was the barbie of abba tall slender and beautiful face. My favorite song from her is ONE MAN ONE WOMAN
People forget that this video was only 5 years after Dancing Queen. It was amazing that Frida was able to get some rock credit the following year with the "Something's Going On" album. No doubt her career was hindered by the ABBA tag. It's not like Frida didn't possess the passion, looks or voice for rock.
Frida's performance range is Alto, Mezzo and Soprano. Her voice type is mezzo-soprano. She won another National Best Vocalist in 1967, which finally turned out to be her big break after a decade on stages, sweeping talent hunts, etc... She sang on National TV the evening after her big win earlier in the day. LIVE to AIR, a 3 octave, Eb3-Eb6, jazz song with improvised scat...and nailed it. This appearance started her EMI Sweden and TV show era, 1967-1972. Frida is the real deal! She Is the ABBA girl that sang everything. Bjorn Ulveras has talked about Frida's huge range and technical proficiency over the years. So has Michael B Tretow, ABBA's engineer, who called Frida's voice, "hi/fi" (high fidelity). Michael gushed over Frida's perfectly balanced vocals in a interview that can be found on TH-cam. Bjorn has said their was nothing that Frida could not sing. The other ABBA girl, Agnetha Falkskog, had limited range being a pure soprano. Agnetha also lacked Frida's technical proficiency. ABBA sang lots of unison, high pitch chorus', which Agnetha had a short travel to reach, while Frida had the longer travel. ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows The Real Story of ABBA By Carl Magnus Palm Benny, Bjorn and Michael Tretow ABBA's engineer considered Frida a master vocalist as did her peers. What her ABBA/Polar Music team and her music peers say about Frida's talent is golden.
one of her BEST performances ...she should have followed this Rock Chic look and sound ...really suits her ...but she chopped off her hair and got caught up in 80's fashion ...a pity!!! love her so much ..xx
Something special with these artist when you campare them to other singer, very underrated beyond 70s, but Frida in style kept Abba contempary for a maturer audiance. Wonderful expression. Robert xx
Wow. Compare this to 'En Ledig Dag' (Portofino) fourteen years earlier. Two live performances showing her versatility Jazz, Pop, Rock. Could definately have fronted a rock band, no problem at all. Looks the part, sounds the part.
Pretty good version. Frida has a unique voice for sure! I love "Something Going On" ultimately though. Pat Benatar's original version of Fire and Ice is still the rule on this song though. Frida's guitarist did lay down a pretty riffing solo! :-)
the original song is this: th-cam.com/video/dsKCU5ll3D0/w-d-xo.html ,but honestly this one sung by frida is infinitely much more delicious to hear chills everything.
Does anyone know where this was recorded? There's a live audience sitting at dining tables? So good to see Frida in front of an audience, singing with a band, and not playback!
That is Frida's background. Live stage from age 10. Pro at 13, 1958. In ABBA during their live shows Frida carried those shows. She said tons of live stuff from her solo career. Agnetha on the other hand as very very few live stuff. She was a record label generated pop star before ABBA, not a live stage singer/performer like Frida.
Yes. This was held in the spectacular Vintertradgarden (Winter Garden) of Stockholm's Grand Hotel. The early Nobel Prize ceremonies were held in that hotel. This performance was part of four variety type shows that were screened on Swedish TV during Autumn 1981. The show was called 'Lite Grand i Orat' and Frida was one of the two hosts. A lot of the backing band had connections to ABBA. You can find various clips and full episodes of this show on TH-cam.
@@danbike9yes so true. Frida was the one with all the stage presence. Agnetha was wooden and stiff on stage actually afraid of crowds.. She couldn't dance either and Fridas a fantastic dancer.
Idem ibidem. She is "just" wonderful. I also love Pat Benatar and I can tell this cover is not less than a rare jewel, like the original Pat Benatar´s song isn't, either.
Before joining ABBA. Anni Frid was singing jazz...Well I think she was. Well it is alittle hard at times. When both Agnetha and Anni Frid do their own solo acts. Instead of just ABBA. Sometimes doesn't feel the same. But what is known. ABBA will never get back together. Which I wish they would just a one time reunion concert. I was hoping for it. But unfortunately. Never happened. But the girls will always be my favourite girls.
Before ABBA Anni-Frid Lyngstad was a known elite level vocalist. Her reviews since she was in grade school are all steller. She turned pro in 1958, age 13. In the 60's she moved onto more challenging stuff, she moved into jazz and classical. She even trained under an opera tenor for 2 years to refine her skills further. She is technically a perfect vocalist. Her breathing, chest/head voice, vocal chords are well coordinated. She never misses a note. Her sense of pitch is spot on. She is a confident singer and on stage performer. She knows she is excellent, not in an arrogant way, but in a positive way. ABBA had a "ringer" in Frida.
ANNI-FRID IS MY FAVORITE SINGER + FAVORITE SINGER OF 'FIRE AND ICE'. I, CLAIRE LEIGH HUCKFELDT, AM THE AUTHOR OF THIS SONG 'FIRE AND ICE' AND THE F.B.I. HAS THE INFORMATION. ANNI-FRID LYNGSTAD IS MY MOM'S DAUGHTER WHO WAS ABDUCTED AND THE F.B.I. HAS THAT DATA ALSO. WE ARE THE ONE FAMILY WITH GREEN EYE COLOR. ANNI-FRID LYNGSTAD HAS MY PERMISSION AND RIGHTS TO SING MY SONGS AND OUR MOM'S SONGS, INCLUDING 'S.O.S.', 'RING RING' AND 'KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU'.
She had a tremendous talent---and that glorious face.
Still does in 2021!
Still doas in 2024 still will in years to come
Frida's just stunning, she can really sing everything with her unique voice and great talent!

Frida is spectacular. So beautiful and I love her voice!

WOW! FRIDA THIS IS YOUR TYPE OF SONG! PAT BENATAR WOULD BE AMAZED! JUST SUPERB! LOVE YOU FRIDA!💘💘💘
Any song is Frida's type of song. Extremely talented vocalist with a great ear and a master of diaphragmatic breathing.
I love Frida !! She deserved to have more hits !! 💙
So love this version of Frida!! Best mezzosoprano ever!!
I love Frida's version she sings the verses so well
The way she sings the verses is just amazing
Frida as a Solo Artist was awesome, I wish she had recorded more English language solo albums after Shine and toured on her own.
This is an outstanding performance by Frida. The vocal range is incredible. If she had stuck to songs like this she could easily have done better in her solo career. Wow those eyes .. So sultry.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I just saw this performance by Frida and I thought "Wow, why didn't she record songs like this instead of those boring ballads?" The albums she made just did not take advantage of her talents.
Russ Cannell Agree. She could/should’ve been bigger than Sheena Easton etc.
wow,,,she really goes from deep to high just like that..she has always been my favourite and her voice is so soothing and unique..love Abba,love Frida .
Fan ALL Agreed she really does have an incredible voice
Incredible performance, incredible voice
One of the greatest voices ever!

Awesome voice! Regardless of what she sings.......her heart n soul is poured into it!
i am a big ABBA fan in 1974 and my favourite was Agnetha but I learn to love Frida and her talent more now.
Me quedo con Frida es una cantante completa
Агнета обычная подделка.
Great to see a truly live version! Everybody lipsynched so much in the 80's This is a rare clip. Thanks.
Sehr toll!Really great performance by Frida.God bless her.
SHE IS THE BEST❤

THAT'S MY FRIDA 💗✋😎
Magnifica

i agree, she is just incredible
I just love her version!
Frida did good on this song.
Goddess !..............................
Pretty good version. Frida has a unique voice for sure! I love "Something Going On" ultimately though. Pat Benatar's original version of Fire and Ice is still the rule on this song though. Frida's guitarist did lay down a pretty riffing solo! :-)
Great singer!
WOW 🤩
Hard to slide a cigarette paper between this performance and Pat Benatar's. And PB is the best female rocker ever.
they don't make women like Frida anymore
For a few seconds I thought I’d found a new ABBA song
the original song is this: th-cam.com/video/dsKCU5ll3D0/w-d-xo.html ,but honestly this one sung by frida is infinitely much more delicious to hear chills everything.
This Rocks!!!
So good from Frida 👌🎤
This was in September 1981 her last appearance with long hair.
This should be on early August, but I could pretty well be wrong.. no problem though - great Frida as always.
Frida ❤
