frida is a gift from the heavens, she is fabulous
Wow, what can I say? The last story moved me to tears Frida and Agneta have both taken time to write to fans in chrisis, they are all wonderful humble people people
The real beauty of ABBA is that for all their enormous success and acclaim, with all their enormous talent, in the end they are all such wonderful and kind people with good hearts.
It seems that they are - which is - given that level of success - miraculous.
Their humbleness is a very Swedish trait.
They are very down to Earth, with wonderful sense of humor
I agree! Very REAL and GENUINE people!!!
That’s because they’re Scandinavian.
Hearing Frida talk about that fan listening to The Way Old Friends Do right before deciding to take his own life was beautiful. Wow I'm really touched by that. ABBA's music truly saves lives, it saved mine.
How blessed he was to have at least corresponded with Frida before he passed.
Aaaåaaaaa😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Agnetha is ageing beautifully. She’s a real beauty & brains.
Tak 😍
interviews in swedish always show more of her personality bc she doesn’t talk very much in english ones
Anni-Frid’s story broke my heart, you could see she was very upset ❤️
Me too
@@annifridelle1032 could you please tell me what was her story about. I don't understand Swedish? TIA

@@Scram_ Or drink ten pints of Swedish lager! You can speak and understand any language after that - even ones no longer spoken!
When she said that he died of lung cancer I started crying like a baby.
Frida is my absolute favourite. Her voice is perfection whether singing or speaking and she is so amazingly strong and kind. There is no denying this was the most talented group where everyone really played an important role. The Beatles were bigger, but it was clear there were two stars and two competent artists... everyone in ABBA was equally amazing in their own way.
Much preferred Abba to The Beatles
Much prefer Frida, the most talented in the Group
The guy who wrote "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun" was a little better than competent.
The Beatles wrote very clever songs and they set the stage for ABBA really, in that music publishers and recording studios started looking at the potential of singer/songwriters. Before them, most big stars were given songs to perform. ABBA without the Beatles trail blazing would have been on the folk circuit, not mainstream, so each band builds on some aspect of what went before. I'm not sure about your assessment of the Beatles, Frank Sinatra said Harrison's 'Something' was the finest love song ever written, that's some accolade coming from Sinatra.
You're right in that it took the split for Harrison to emerge from the Lennon/McCartney shadow. I think I prefer listening to ABBA now, though, fits my age more, I don't want to have to try to work out what's going on in a song anymore.
Agnetha seems to be the one who made the most of a solo career after ABBA, or maybe had the most publicity. it's difficult to say. She's certainly the 'iconic' member of the band, and the one sought out by photographers, reporters, and scumbags, perhaps because of that desire to be left in peace and quiet.
I'm personally convinced that Frida has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Watch her interviews and comments, the sad circumstances of her early years, her history of leaving very young children to pursue fame, her daughter's Bpd, her envy of Agnetha and her obsession for the limelight. Also, how vindictively she treated Benny in the years after their divorce. Just read her Swedish lyrics to see the numerous digs she makes at him "covertly". This story is to make herself look sensitive and kind.
This should highlight how important it is for every child to get the care they need in infancy and childhood. Early deprivation made Frida the narcissist she is.
Frida's last story really does move me and clearly affected her. She's wonderful.
Hey problembeing fancy seeing you here and yes she is wonderful.
The story Frida told was beautiful and yet made me cry.
Frida absolutely the best
Same here. Just crying right now haha
Spoken so eloquently...
Love Frida♥
I cried too
Aren’t these two women just as beautiful as ever? Voices on top form too. Love it ❤️❤️
Frida has this kind of floating feelings. She holds them well deep inside while they hover out like a cloud, from her heart to us.
I've fancied Frida for a long time but now I've seen her compassion and gentle nature I respect and love her too 🌼
Frida is my idol lady. I followed thru her
humble life history and I admire her a lot. She looks more and more beautiful as she age.
Frida is strong and courageous lady. She moved on after losing her daughter and her husband.
So typical of Frida to tell a story about someone else who was suffering, I could listen to her voice and the Swedish language for hours.
Not all Swedes sounds like them.....we have many different dialects ....I for example - I am from the south of Sweden....abba are from the northern part....
@@Mrsbehavin59 um what? Abba is most definitely not from the northern part of Sweden... Torshälla, Vällingby, Jönköping? They're not even close to Norrland :)
@@dancingpigmonkey I misspoke - would it suits you if I said from the middle of the country……..Agnetha for example does not spoke her Jönköpings dialect…she speaks most definitely Stockholm’s dialect. Often 08 does not understand my dialect from the south but way up north 08 understand their dialect. I had to speak English when I talked to the 08 people so quite a difference in dialects….
@@Mrsbehavin59 What is generally the dialect there? Is there a dialect, that everybody understands?
@@dancingpigmonkey Frida was born in Narvik, Norway, north of the artic circle. She was raised by her grandma who took Frida to Sweden when Frida was about 18 months old. Frida's mother (Synni Lyngstad (1926-1947) was looking for work and took I'll and passed away of kidney failure, Sep 1947 (poisoned/murdered).
All 4 of these extremely talented people have aged gracefully. No plastic surgery. American entertainers could learn from them.
american's won't learn..period !
That's story Frida tells is wonderful. It really shows you the power of one single song. Amazing.
Empathy is such beautiful virtue. It shines in Frida.
That was an incredible story Anni Frid shared about the friendship she developed with the butcher. This makes me really appreciate ABBA that much more. Their fame, notwithstanding, does not define who they are as people. Individually these 4 ABBA members have rich personal lives. I always love the photographs that feature so prominently in their music videos. Photos or videos of them playing cards, ice skating, picnicking or just hanging out. They are real people. I love that Bjorn said pop tunes are best written by young people at the height of their creative power which really doesn't last forever. He is honest. You make the most of your creative force while you have it and then you brace yourself for the next phase. Maybe you are always creative, but you are not always creative the same way over time. I have learned a lot just by listening to the music of ABBA and looking at their videos and photographs as well reading about their lives. What a fantastic country Sweden must be that it produced such 4 extraordinary human beings.
There language is so beautiful to listen to lol
You can read what they're saying in subtitles in you click on it.
Bjorn is so right when he said that artists hit their peak at a young age and make the best music. You think of all the artists that we have or have gone and think of their best songs, they are all when they were young.
Most of them, but not all of them. There are some incredible exceptions. U2 had another peak in the 2000s, Paul McCartney also had some hits in the 2000s. David Guetta's international success started at 40. James Blunt didn't start at all until 30. Many artists never stops making music when they are old, but these are the ones who still made hits that topped the charts and gained success.
How old was John Lord when he wrote that wonderful song for Frida ?.
@@onwun4292 Aerosmith got even bigger 20 years into their career had an incredible comeback
David Bowie's last album was like one of his 10 best
@@onwun4292 You are talking about success and money but it's about creativity.
This is an excellent talk show from Sweden. One of the best because they get in depth with no rushing the guests. And they talk in English when the guest is American or British. Wonderful show!
what an amazing montage! Frida's story is so moving, you can tell she has a very compassionate soul
Frida's voice sounds so comforting during the interview.
Frida has the most beautiful voice, both speaking and singing. Always my favourite of four incredible people.
I could listen to Frida speak all day!!💕
She’s always been my favourite…I can remember being 5 years old and looking at ABBA’s album covers and would ask my Mum if we could dye my hair red so I would have hair like Frida’s♥️🥰
They're still beautiful, humble people, God bless ABBA always, Frida's story was so heartfelt. 😢
I was born in 1985, so I missed out on ABBA when they were around. But I really love their music. It's pop in its purest and most beautiful form. It appeals to people on a deep, almost fundamental level. You hear an ABBA song and you smile. Sometimes in happiness, sometimes in melancholy. But in the end, you'll smile. That's what makes them special.
I agree! When musians are goog they over pass time and touch all generations...I was a little chlid (born in 1971) but i do appreciate a lot when i was older too. Frida is amazing at the end of this report...So nice people all of them!...
Wow....Abba's songs not only entertain but save lives too.
Wonderful interview with all four especially Frida!! I remember Agnetha doing this and one girl told her they pretended to be her or Frida as children
ABBA is the best ever! Up until now, they are still recognized as best group singer.
Хоть и ничего не понимаю о чём они говорят, но они великолепны!!! Приятно посмотреть на них. Красивы и в возрасте!
5 NEW ABBA SONGS BEING RELEASED LATER THIS YEAR, IS A GOOD START. PRAY THAT YOU'LL RECORD A WHOLE NEW ALBUM, PLEASE ABBA, THANK YOU, RESPECT🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
And...as we all have seen and heard, they still have it in them. MORE than another Dancing Queen!!! What a gift they have given us. Thank you ABBA! 💝
That story in the end. Poor guy, rip. ♥ ABBA's music was always something special, giving joy to the world.
I feel that they are so special and such an amazing agrupation with amazing members making outstanding music! I had hear of them since I was a kid, I’m now 15 years old and have completely fallen in love with their music, something you can’t find nowadays. So thank you ABBA for filling a young teenager’s life with the best of music.
It never leaves you, trust me! I was born in 1971 and my first ever album was Super Trouper, closely followed by Greatest Hits Vol. 2. Now aged 49 I probably love them more than ever. I've spent a lot of this lockdown period watching their old videos and playing their music, footage of their live concerts in 1977 and 1979, even learning to sing Andante Andante (badly!) and seeking out content on TH-cam that I haven't seen before, such as this. As a child I used to want to be Frida, the chemistry between all four of them was so special but my inspiration was always Frida, I couldn't take my eyes off her, incredible on-stage presence. And I had a crush on Bjorn. But the group as a whole needed all four of them to make them as great as they were.
These four amazing artists have always (since I was a child growing up in the 70’s) brought me so much joy in my life. ❤️
But they have reunited and decided to before the date this video was posted. Having followed ABBA since they formed back in the 70's their music has stayed with me and still remains the best popular music ever written in my opinion. I always hoped they would collaborate on new material again after they split in 1983, but as the decades moved on, it seemed less likely, so I was elated to hear this was finally going to happen after so long. Of course, there has been delays in releasing this new content, but it is there and at some point soon, we will all get another chance to hear what these marvelous musicians can write and sing.
Life is short and music can mean a lot to many people, it is also rare that such talent comes along so often, so it's wonderful to know we can have that experience of listening to something new from these guys again.
Watching this after their comeback, and on the eve of their pop immortality with their own ABBAtars... how life changes, or how you change life by following a different stream... And yes, Frida brings the soul depth - and tear-jerking stories...
god bless you Frida long life and good health
I will love Abba til the day i die. The group will always be an absolute classic. I would love them to reunite and come back stronger x
Well, there are news for you...
this is the quality content i signed up for
Och nu är dem tillbaka och återförenade! ❤️
Good to see Ludvig interviewed too. He's been such a driving force with the Avatar show.
Никто не сравнится с ними! Уникальной красоты голоса, музыка, слова... Божественно!
АВВА вы замечательные! Люблю вас!
Я тоже люблю АББА🇦🇲🇸🇪🇷🇺🌹
And the irony of these interviews is that the reunion came anyway. Thank you for the translation into English!
GREAT VIDEO! Once again proving that ABBA was a special, unique, group. Their interviews always fascinate me. Funny, usually only a quarter of their interview time usually focuses on the actual music and the rest on their interpersonal communications or other nuances of their group experience. The music and singing stands on it's own merit.
I love all four of them 😍😍😍 sending love from the 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
ABBA SIMPLY THANK YOU!!! I AM ENJOYING YOU NOW IN MY OLDER DAYS.
Таких их я люблю ещё больше. Как же ВЫ глубоко в сердце!
How much happiness and joy abba brought to the world
ett av de bästa banden någonsin😪
Frida has been my favorite ABBA member since 1975. And this interview confirms it!
Frida has always been my favorite lady . All around beautiful , head to toe .
one of THE greatest ever female singers Agnetha, nobody can take that away from her and looking great for her age solid gold voice
Well done interviews. Extra points for editing… tying it all together without all 4 members being together on the show at the same time. What I admire most about each individual - other than their fantastic musical abilities, of course- is the fact that they are so humble, so approachable, so down to earth. Age and hindsight has intensified these wonderful human qualities. They obviously have taken very good care of themselves. That is one of the best gifts they could have given themselves, their families, and their fans. It’s just a joy to listen to them! Your Journey is giving hope to the world!
Приятно видеть своих любимцев с детства в здравии.
Ребята,вы останетесь для нас молодыми.Как в 70-х
Apesar del tiempo seguiremos escuchando la música de ABBA.
Björn and Benny are such accomplished musicians and businessmen. They are comfortable in their own skin, and feel free to be themselves, and funny.
Normal Swedes from that generation. Borg and Stenmark also quietly went about their business while being the best in the world. Well OK Borg went mad at the end but hey ho :)
Yeah but they’re both kind of assholes, both of them cheated on their wives and left them for other women.
I have to say Frida has aged the most gracefully.
Unbeliavable. I have never seen men and women who aged with this much of grace and beauty.
Watching this again, you can tell the interviewer was transfixed by Frida’s story. Whereas he mostly had light banter and quick back and forth with the others, he let Frida tell her story at length and was clearly moved by it. A good interviewer knows when to let a guest speak when they are telling something really interesting. I’m so glad that fan reached out to Frida. She has such a gentle kind heart… bless her.
Lovely Agnetha.👌
Wow that frida's storie about a fan is beautiful
I like Skavlan's interviews, natural setting, not set behind a stupid desk designed to make interviewees uncomfortable, 2nd place as in some other talk shows
Beautiful Frida!
Amazing
I was in high school (USA) when ABBA was at their peak in popularity so I remember their songs very well. There was no internet at that time, so getting to see them perform on TV was fairly rare, it was the radio where you heard their songs played. Seeing them now, it's so charming that they look at their performances as "the job" back then, and now they're retired and not really consumed by their superstardom. That ability to disconnect from their stardom is what brings home their real-life humanity. I don't know if that's because they're culturally Swedish, or what it is, but I like seeing them enjoying their older years (as I am now).
ABBA, Супер!👍 Любим и слушаем их песни! Привет с любовью ❤️ из России, город Анапа!!!
Abba is the music and feelings in everyone of us. They made the world a better place. This is the reason they still are, they are the perfection that need to express itself. Love you all.
Everyone looks great. It is a great pleasure to see and hear you.
Все отлично выглядят. Приятно вас видеть и слышать.
Que bello grupo son mi favoritos me gustaría que canten juntos otra vez
Hola, mi grupo favorito x muchos anos tengo una colección enorme d sus canciones
Videos,cassets,discos,dvds,ets.cada navidad mi hijo me regala algo lindo d Abba y yo me siento súper happy.
Agnetha says : "I went from a luxury suite, to doing the dishes and I thought it was wonderful!" What a wonderful life she had! Long live Agnetha! Long live ABBA!!
The way old friends do ❤️
that question to agnetha about frida being maybe not ordinary is so... out of place. like, is it because she was wearing louder clothes and liked to show a different side of her with every different era and album or was it to create some kind of tension again between both of them which never really existed? cause other than her new noble title, frida has always been a humble person and so are the others. they're ordinarily amazing :)
Frida is a goddess
Legends! #ABBA

Very interesting video. Thank you for posting this.
I appreciate the artistic creativity of ABBA, the history of the band and the overall effect on music in general. There were many times when I missed out on liking something in music and then found it was too late and I had missed a golden opportunity... But I think this time around I made it onboard. #bonnechance2022
Thank god for subtitles
That story is incredibly sad that you can't help be moved.
A very sad story tell Frida😥

Легенда ! Удивительно - но Фрида выглядит даже лучше, чем Агнета. Хоть она и на 5 лет старше её... Спасибо тому, кто загрузил это видео ! Интересно посмотреть сейчас на тех, кто в годы моей юности были одни из моих любимых артистов.
Анни-Фрид всегда была красива и в нынешнем возрасте не потеряла своего очарования. Она очень чувственная, добрая, скромная. А Агнета для меня всегда была обычной. А сейчас постарела и вообще никакая. Принцесса Анни-Фрид всей своей жизнью заслужила это. Во всем она невероятна.
Love agnetha ❤️
I miss them
hello ABBA I love you, you are beautiful and your songs are immortal ❤️you have been with me for 45 years😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹
Frida is still so 🔥HOT!
they are back !!
Beautifol Agnetha
Timeless 👍
ABBA! ❤🎵🇺🇸
Agnetha - zeitlose schönheit!
Anni-Frid is beautiful, but not Agneta.
I am is 56 years now . They are my favourite Music..I was 15 years old I dance and listen.. I like ..
Adorei !!!
I hadn't heard ABBA speak Swedish in a couple years!
I Love ABBA , many greetings from Germany
Прекрасные лица Анетты и Фриды. Такие естественные, необезображенные ботоксами и подтяжками. А с вами что не так,, отечественные "звезды"?! Почему вы так себя ненавидите, что позволяете себя уродовать до неузнаваемости?!!
Good video , just all 4 very nice pepole in addition of their talent! Frida is amazing when she's speaking about this fan avoiding suicide listening an ABBA song and finally died after cancer. When sh'es talking about is dead and his sadness she has a nervous laught maybe tryind hiding his tears ...very beautifull woman in all aspects!
