She has such incredible range. The arrangements of songs with Frida in the lead tended to use her lower register, but when she sings with Agnetha in choruses together or as backup to a song sung by Agnetha, it’s mind blowing how high she sings. You can really hear her upper register and head voice in her solo work, and when you look at her body of work, it’s astounding how wide her range is. Not to mention the power she has, and her near flawless pitch. Agnetha was the gifted storyteller, but Frida was the vocal technician par excellence

just an amazing song, there's a maturity to it that feels like it's ushering in their 80's era of more grown up songs (even though they'd done so many before). A real classic.
Frida and Agneta have the best voices in this world i Love theiir music ever since i was seven years old i Love them for their music so thanks you for givin IT to me true Fan . Mona from Heilbronn Germany
One of Frida’s finest moments, she utterly shine through this masterpiece! I don’t understand why so man fans dislike this song.. but I do love u so much for loving this! Its allways so nice to watch your Abba reactions. 😍
This is one of Frida’s favorite songs. Very VERY underrated maybe because the Voulez Vous album is full of really great songs. I love how Marissa is finally distinguishing Frida’s vocals from Agnetha’s 😁.
The vocal ranges of this song are incredible. It almost hurts thinking about it, yet it sounds so effortless. It takes A LOT of expertise and work to make something so complex seem so easy.
I was have been nine or ten when I first heard this song and had pretty much the same reaction .. now almost thirty five years laters .. this song still gives the same goosebumps.. that’s ABBA !
I love the soundscape on this song - and of course the lower registre vocals are at the core of it all. It's one of those many, many relatively unknown ABBA songs that really shows how much they could do and how much they acutally did 🙂
I rate this song highly; definitely one of this album's high points and also one of my favourite Abba tracks. Frida's solos are great. Half way through your video I noticed your t shirt. Great touch. 😊 And a very interesting coda to your video...
I love both ABBA girls but I have always thought Frida was an exceptional vocal talent. And an awesome live performer. Agnetha fits the standard upper chest pop singer. Frida fits in the classically trained vocalist category. Her keen ear, control, diaphragmatic breathing is impressive.
Huuuuge GEM💎, Ha? This is one of my favorites. The texture of Frida❤'s voice is from another world. That voice 😏falls in love and fills your soul😍. Björn, Benny and Agnetha so good as usual. The instrumentation is great especially the bass guitar, the chime in the Hi-Hat of the drums and the sound it makes when going up and down 👌. See you very soon, guys Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍
So glad to see you're still reacting and posting. This is the newest I've found in a year. Marissa's gotten blonder and Tyler more brunette and less sun-drenched. Both, still a delight. Love your love for ABBA.
Good and rare choice. A fantastic song. You earned a subscription! ❤ A favorite when I was 10 or so. Now I’m 53 and it’s still AMAZING. Whole album is faultless 😂
This is from my favorite album Voulez vouz which does not have any bad songs. Out of the original 10 songs this comes in 9th for me just over I have a dream. Still fire
I really love watching you both react to ABBA - it reminds me of how I felt the very first time I heard these songs. The production on this one is stunning. 🤩
Listen to the lyric! It is awesome, especially since I have been in a narcissistic relationship... And in addition, the melody is very good and catchy! Love it!
Your jaw-dropping, no-pausing reactions brought a tear to my eye, seeing how both of you were blown away. For me, listening to it all these decades, I take it for granted, but to watch you experience it for the first time makes me proud as a fan.
Her solo works. Everyone who listens to her solo works from 1963 onward (1963 is the earliest I have found) is blown away by her skills. You will start to realize she is overqualified for pop songs and should have stayed in the vocal centric genres.
@@danbike9 Her voice is truly wonderful for sure ( as is Agnetha's flawless soprano ), but I'm pretty certain that neither Frida or the millions upon millions of ABBA fans around the world believe she should have stuck to non-pop music .. Being part of this once-in-a-lifetime group was the opportunity that most artists could only ever dream about.
@@wayne_twentyfive Don't get me wrong. She indeed is part of a historical group. My reply was a bit selfish in wanting to her to stay solo, without a pop band, wall-of-sound, etc... as she knows how to craft a song using her melodic voice and control. Frida herself was very reluctant to join a pop group for the very reason that it was a comedown for her skill level. She actually left the foursome after the cabaret shows winter of 1970/71. 1971 into 1972 is the year that Frida was gone. By mid 1971 BB were hired by Stig to be Polar Music house producers. Agentha came along with Bjorn, who were married summer of 1971. Stig had his team together to include the very important Gorel (admin) and Michael B Tretow along with Rutger Gunnerson. By mid 1971, Stig had his team. Except Frida. Frida was a sort of free agent. EMI Sweden wanted her to extend her 1967-1972 solo contract as EMI had big plans for Frida. So did Stig, but he had to get her under Polar Music as a solo artist. Stig may have been the boss/Polar Music, but Frida had the pull. She understood the business and knew her value to EMI Sweden and to Stig/Polar Music. It took a Frida-Stig/Polar Music sweet deal/partnership in 1972 to get her to join the group and also sign a Polar Music solo contract. The solo portion? The Frida Ensam' (Frida Alone) project. A win win win for Stig/Polar Music and Frida and the foursome. Stig had his golden girl (Lena Andersson being the other golden girl solo artist). Frida Ensam' project was to be completed in early years of ABBA. It was. Recorded 1974/75 and released in 1975. A huge critical and commercial success. Multiple platinum. Spawning 'Fernando', Frida huge #1 Swedish radio hit. During this period the group, which Stig named ABBA started to take off, with 'Waterloo'/Eurovision and in their pockets they had SOS and Mama Mia waiting to be launched in 1975. Boom! Over the decades a few in the music press have asked Frida...Why pop group, why not solo, etc....? Frida said that she figured that together they, the foursome, could do something special. It all worked out perfectly for the core four, Stig, Gorel, Michael, Rutger and all the ABBA/Polar Music musicians. They all made history together. _____ ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows The Real Story of ABBA By Carl Magnus Palm
@@wayne_twentyfive Jon Lord put my thoughts short and sweet and from a songwriters perspective. I seen him interviewed talking about the difficulties of writing songs for someone like Frida. You have to write up to her talent. Here is quote from his autobiography on writing a song for Frida. "Easier said than done when you've got a voice that is that specific and that glorious". - Jon Lord, 2004 Beyond The Notes, Biography
BTW Bjorn just gave an interview to NME in London celebrating 1 million viewres attenting the VOYAGE concerts!He also met with the family that marked the millionth ticket and thanked them and also talked about some future changes in the set list.The journalist also confessed he cried repeatedly while watching the Abba Voyage gig and that he will watch this again the following night.This is Massive!
Love the both of you and your reactions! And your reaction to this truly made me laugh (and yes, I do agree it's a terrific song and Frida is sooo good). I've followed you since your very first - and VERY clueless - reaction to ABBA. You've come a long way since that day 😄😄😄 Much as I love ABBA, I love George Michael even more and I would so love to hear your take on him and his songs. But not the usual ones (such as Careless Whisper, Faith or any of the Wham songs), rather Kissing a Fool, Outside, Fast Love, Cowboys and Angels, A Different Corner, or his duets with Whitney Houston (If I told you that) or with Aretha Franklin (I knew you were waiting). That would be so great! Please 😊
This is an awesome song. I kinda liked back then but it definitely grew on me over the decades. It’s a small underrated masterpiece. The verses are sung incredibly loose with a touch of jazz sexiness and a touch of satisfaction about what’s happening to the „king“. Frida at her best. A wicked combination that made these vocals unique. The chords of the chorus are a bit more adventurous and edgy than usual. Abba was diving into new sounds along with Lovers (live a little longer) on that 1979 album they unfortunately never took on again but returning to straight pop in 1980. That’s why Voulez Vous is my second favorite album after 1977s The Album.
@@lisacrane3143 why would react like that instead of giving us your own thoughts on that song. It's simply rude and of no content. just arguing for the sake of arguing...
Wooow 👍🏼👁️ huuuh this is so good song "The king has lost his crown". so sad that you not show them on stage in Switzerland its High Quality recorded but i am a nice swed so i just give u a chance to change it..❤️🇸🇪🇺🇲❤️ THX for a good really good reaction on ABBA "the king has lost his crown". So cool that u 2 like ABBA 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇲❤️🇸🇪 can someone explained why this song not been a top selling song??? Sorry for my swenglish lol
I think I’ve seen all of your ABBA-videos and it is always nice 😊. One of their best songs they actually never released (like many others) - it’s called Just like that. Many ABBA-fans have asked for it to be released in 40 years 🤣Benny never went totally content with it. There are a lot of demos at this song if you are interestered.
Benny clarified that the reason why it wasn't officially released is because the verse melody is the same as "When the Waves Roll Out to Sea". There's a version that removes it and adds a saxophone solo, but even that one has a similar part with Under Attack. So the main chorus is the only that would remain original. I think that one song that they should have released is Another You, Another Me. which was only recorded by Gemini
@@SebaZero Yes he really thought tht about JLT.But for me doesn;t really matter at all.I feel that the majority of us reaaally love this song and many of us wished it would be on the VOYAGE album reworked.I also like Geminis version though more darker mood and different .
I told you! I knew you two would love this and "head over heels". Kinda happy that I assessed that right. xD Check my comment on your "Ring Ring" reaction haha.
Frida's favorite is Dancing Queen. She cried the first time she heard the music track. Of the Abba songs out there I put this near the bottom. That's just me. Even though, once again, the girls vocals are spot-on.
This song has a Dreams by fleetwood mac vybe to it.. Fleetwood macs rumours album is the album of the moment during the time of recording of the voluez vouz LP.. Also Frida and Benny profess they're fans of Rumours
This would have been a famous song if they had been able to end it well instead of repeat & fade. Is a good sort of triumphant/sarcastic "Oh the girl you left me for isn't what you expected and is bossing you around? Aw poor thing, oh well.".
Very sultry isn't it. Makes me wonder what the little children ( way back when ) who rushed out to buy the new ABBA record made of it. Frida has expressed her personal like of this song.
@@sensitivedogs I guess I was fooled by the flat four-beat with sixteenth beats on the high-hat, under a funk guitar rhythm, synth highlights and the fact that a few decades ago, I used to dance to it a lot in nightclubs.
hello Marisa and Tyker Good start of the new week for you "The King has lost His crown" (1979) Is included in the "Voulez Vous" album it's a great song (7/8pts) with Frida so sweet in leads voice in the introduction verses, that change the rythm when Agnetha join her and do a fantástic duet again I think that Frida is more seductive in her solo while the music begins as a ballad disco, and then the two female voices in the chorus are much powerful And the musical introduction is amazing! ABBA premier these song un a TV special "ABBA in Switzerland 1979' It was the second song , after "Take a chance on me" and all four ABBA members introduction here is a link with ABBA performed it: th-cam.com/video/Cd_ZkAiVwzI/w-d-xo.html One date: in the leave streaming of September 2021, when Benny & Björn announced the return of ABBA with Voyage album, the same Björn refers to " The King has lost His crown" of one of ABBA songs that should be a hit, but it wasn''t I love your reaction, your faces Always Is a pleasure see enjoy with ABBA músic I see in the next vídeo My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
Screw the people that don't want you to pause. I can listen to this song uninterrupted any time I want. I'm here to see and hear your genuine reactions, not watch you bop your head for 4 minutes. What is wrong with people? You shouldn't have to fight and hold back your feelings. Bugger off wankers. Don't try to tame Tyler.
I have to agree, Tyler pausing the song during a reaction video is not only completely within his rights as a content creator, but it's also a smart move. By pausing the song, he can provide insightful commentary and analysis on specific parts of the track, which makes for a more interesting and engaging video. It's not like he's stopping the song every two seconds to check his phone or grab a snack. He's doing it for a purpose. "DON"T TAME the TYLER"! Whose with me!!
th-cam.com/video/F78pl0wAUDc/w-d-xo.html This is Frida in the 1960s. Velvet voice. Singing totally live. She’s amazing. I’d love to see your reaction to this.
Benny was tehe guy who played the organ , but the front man vas Svenne hedlund , who later formed the goup svenne and lotta with his wife , but hep stars was the thing in sweden in the 60 s , whith sond like cadilac , malaika , Lilla sofi , shes a sunnygirl among others
Frida solo works. Find her stuff from early 60's and beyond. You will have a better appreciation and understanding of her skill level. You like me may think Frida singing pop songs for ABBA is beneath her talent level.
It seems to me that you have already had the same experiences with the lyrics and have been flashed or have given someone a pass very funny like every line of words shocked again, delicious 🤣🤣🤣
@@davidparsons7586 8 out of 10 songs in the original vynil album release are really massive,but deep cuts are also fine.VV is a great album for me.Would have possibly only replaced 'Lovers' with "Summernight city' that was a standalone single that was left outside.
p.s.Just a clarification ...FRida's delivery on Lovers is so good and very versatile but would have been better as a b side single compared to the rest of the songs in the album.
@@christianoazzuro6711 Yes, VV is my favorite album. And I absolutely love Summer night city, another favorite. I agree Lovers live a little longer isn't the strongest song on there but it's still massive to me. That's just how good that album is.
Oh myyy, Frida hitting those low notes every single time, her voice is an instrument
She has such incredible range.

@@graphiquejack that is why stig really pursued frida to be in ABBA, he knew her vocal prowess is unmatch
"The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of them all, but it is the most difficult to play"
- Richard Strauss
Frida knows how to play her instrument.
- keen ear
- control
- full round
- warm timbre
- huge range (alto, mezzo, soprano)
- diaphragmatic breathing
ABBA's recording engineer, Michael B. Tretow gave Frida the biggest compliment a vocalist can get. In an interview, which some you have seen on TH-cam -- Michael describes Frida's beautiful warm timbre, balance, support, etc... He said her voice is "hi-fi" (high fidelity).
She has always been praised by peers since she was in grade school for her ear and vocal skills.
Early credit goes to Frida's grandmother, who raised Frida until Frida went out on her own at age 13 -- when she turned pro.
Her grandmother sang Norwegian and Swedish folk songs to baby/toddler/child Frida. Frida's brain did the wiring with al those pitches she heard at a very very young age. Result, is perfect pitch.

Frida sounds so good on this track, not like she ever sounds bad, but that low register is velvet chocolate
exactly what i was thinking, her voice here like silky choc mousse
Abba is happiness. I’ve lift through a lifetime of happiness. Love Abba..great reaction
This album also includes a Frida lead, big hit 'I have a dream' where its new lyric video surpassed 1 million views a couple of days ago btw.
I love the soundscape on this song - and of course the lower registre vocals are at the core of it all. It's one of those many, many relatively unknown ABBA songs that really shows how much they could do and how much they acutally did 🙂

I love both ABBA girls but I have always thought Frida was an exceptional vocal talent. And an awesome live performer.
Agnetha fits the standard upper chest pop singer. Frida fits in the classically trained vocalist category.
Her keen ear, control, diaphragmatic breathing is impressive.

This is one of my favorites.

Enthusiastic reaction guys, and I don’t mind you guys pausing it either. This is one of Frida’s favourites also.
❤ your reaction and Fridas velvet voice ❤
Frida sings a great sultry lead vocal, its one of Frida'sfavorite songs and a utter gem.
A lovely lush story of heartbreak 💔
i have a dream/Watch out too.
Personally I prefer Lovers (Live a Little Bit Longer) from the same album, but King is definitely a bop
Magic ABBA song
Your faces...! Watching them perform this on many videos is a lovely watch too. ❤
So nice to rediscover ABBA-songs with you!
Good and rare choice. A fantastic song. You earned a subscription! ❤ A favorite when I was 10 or so. Now I’m 53 and it’s still AMAZING. Whole album is faultless 😂

Gorgeous vocal by Frida.

With the "Na Na Na" included ;)
@@SebaZero yeahhhh!ma best pick too.
You two should hook up. You are so in sink with each other. You are a joy to watch. Sending love from Australia. You should have your own TV show!
I told you! I knew you two would love this and "head over heels". Kinda happy that I assessed that right. xD
Check my comment on your "Ring Ring" reaction haha.
Frida's favorite is Dancing Queen. She cried the first time she heard the music track. Of the Abba songs out there I put this near the bottom. That's just me. Even though, once again, the girls vocals are spot-on.
wow , over 4,5k views within 2 days!
i know the love is so great!!!
@@TylerCreatesContent OK!over 7,1k views within 10 days.Congrats!
Love this song! It could have been a duet with Fleetwood Mac 😁
Suggest you react to Lovers by ABBA, in case you haven’t yet. Different but in a way similar to this one.😊
Incredible that you haven't reacted to this one yet! I suspect there are quite a few other popular songs you haven't reacted to.
To me this song is like the real follow up to dancing queen
This song has a Dreams by fleetwood mac vybe to it.. Fleetwood macs rumours album is the album of the moment during the time of recording of the voluez vouz LP.. Also Frida and Benny profess they're fans of Rumours
I hope you watched the tv appearance as well 😊😊😊❤
Thanks, Marissa! Thanks, Tyler! 👑 #TylerCreatesContent #TCCReacts #TheKingHasLostHisCrown #ABBA
This would have been a famous song if they had been able to end it well instead of repeat & fade. Is a good sort of triumphant/sarcastic "Oh the girl you left me for isn't what you expected and is bossing you around? Aw poor thing, oh well.".
Can't wait until you and especially Marissa with her love for lower registers discover "Gonna Sing You My Love Song". 😃
it’s definitely on our list! we record this sunday so maybe we’ll hit that one then!
@@TylerCreatesContent 'Watch out!'/'I have a dream'?
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes, these both, too. 😀
@@TylerCreatesContent 👍
You´ll love then "Lovers (Live a Little Longer)"...
Wow - Your Best, and Unanimous reaction so far! Now You MUST; MUST; MUUUST react to this song Live! I promise You that itś gonna' Floor You, Both!
The lady happy about that now it is HIS turn to be hurt.
Very sultry isn't it. Makes me wonder what the little children ( way back when ) who rushed out to buy the new ABBA record made of it. Frida has expressed her personal like of this song.
Cool your t-shirt Tyler!
Only a b- side .. but a good voulez-vous album track 🎉
Voulez Vouz always felt a bit cold to me as their albums go, but I still generally like the songs.
Glad you enjoyed this disco classic - one of my faves. Is it time to go right back to the beginning where it all started? Check out: People Need Love!
It's not disco by any means.
@@sensitivedogs I guess I was fooled by the flat four-beat with sixteenth beats on the high-hat, under a funk guitar rhythm, synth highlights and the fact that a few decades ago, I used to dance to it a lot in nightclubs.
😍
hello Marisa and Tyker
Good start of the new week for you
"The King has lost His crown" (1979)
Is included in the "Voulez Vous" album
it's a great song (7/8pts) with Frida so sweet in leads voice in the introduction verses,
that change the rythm when Agnetha join her and do a fantástic duet again
I think that Frida is more seductive in her solo while the music begins as a ballad disco,
and then the two female voices in the chorus are much powerful
And the musical introduction is amazing!
ABBA premier these song un a TV special
"ABBA in Switzerland 1979'
It was the second song , after
"Take a chance on me"
and all four ABBA members introduction
here is a link with ABBA performed it:

One date:
in the leave streaming of September 2021,
when Benny & Björn announced the return of ABBA with Voyage album,
the same Björn refers to " The King has lost His crown"
of one of ABBA songs that should be a hit, but it wasn''t
I love your reaction, your faces
Always Is a pleasure see enjoy with ABBA músic
I see in the next vídeo
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
Go away
What happened to Tyler's ooooh.........OK........ooooh.... pause song, giggle and then un-pause. I'm shocked he played it all through!
i think i was too shocked to pause
Do you really keep the christmas tree until april?
Screw the people that don't want you to pause. I can listen to this song uninterrupted any time I want. I'm here to see and hear your genuine reactions, not watch you bop your head for 4 minutes. What is wrong with people? You shouldn't have to fight and hold back your feelings. Bugger off wankers. Don't try to tame Tyler.
I have to agree, Tyler pausing the song during a reaction video is not only completely within his rights as a content creator, but it's also a smart move. By pausing the song, he can provide insightful commentary and analysis on specific parts of the track, which makes for a more interesting and engaging video. It's not like he's stopping the song every two seconds to check his phone or grab a snack. He's doing it for a purpose. "DON"T TAME the TYLER"! Whose with me!!
th-cam.com/video/F78pl0wAUDc/w-d-xo.html This is Frida in the 1960s. Velvet voice. Singing totally live. She’s amazing. I’d love to see your reaction to this.
Benny was tehe guy who played the organ , but the front man vas Svenne hedlund , who later formed the goup svenne and lotta with his wife , but hep stars was the thing in sweden in the 60 s , whith sond like cadilac , malaika , Lilla sofi , shes a sunnygirl among others
Thanks, didn't know that Svenne recorded with them
Frida solo works. Find her stuff from early 60's and beyond.
You will have a better appreciation and understanding of her skill level. You like me may think Frida singing pop songs for ABBA is beneath her talent level.
😅
Frida really killed it. But who are you guy guys? I'd like to know your name and where you come from? We want to know whom we are talking to
рот открываешь очень широко, не перестарайся
Hi gays ! Why not check out Bennys first band The hep stars ? from the 60 s
They are not gays😂
Despite the ABBA t-shirt, Tyler insists that he is straight. 😅
@@mikesmithson6805 .... you Know he meant "guys", though 😊
Great song, too bad you did not watch the video ( live from Switzerland).
It seems to me that you have already had the same experiences with the lyrics and have been flashed or have given someone a pass very funny like every line of words shocked again, delicious 🤣🤣🤣
Hurry up with the Aftershow, please. There had better be 10s. 😡
it’ll be here soon sorry! busy day today!
one of my least favourite ABBA songs. For me the chorus let’s down the intro and verse and becomes repetitive
I like the song but glad they didn't choose this as a single over 8 much better songs from the album.
@@davidparsons7586 8 out of 10 songs in the original vynil album release are really massive,but deep cuts are also fine.VV is a great album for me.Would have possibly only replaced 'Lovers' with "Summernight city' that was a standalone single that was left outside.
p.s.Just a clarification ...FRida's delivery on Lovers is so good and very versatile but would have been better as a b side single compared to the rest of the songs in the album.
@@christianoazzuro6711 Tell you what, let's just delete all the Frida led songs and pretend she isn't there.
@@christianoazzuro6711 Yes, VV is my favorite album. And I absolutely love Summer night city, another favorite. I agree Lovers live a little longer isn't the strongest song on there but it's still massive to me. That's just how good that album is.
Best Band Ever
