To me, she was the main voice of Abba, and probably the main 'face' of Abba. She was certainly MY favourite. It was a sad day when they broke up, and what happened after, but she still looks amazing and I hope things will somehow turn around for the better.
Yet look at today's completely dumbed-down world, that sh*thead Taylored Spliff, just like Slagdonna before it never get blamed for being the talentless, dictatorial, lousy corrupter of people's tiny minds and tinier tastes!
I as a fan back then I always resented the sense that Agnetha was blamed for the breakup by the press. There was no one to blame especially someone who gave so much to the success of the group. Change is inevetable. Of course they earned a lot but they gave so much to all of us too.
Our society is so obsessed with fame, we don't understand why someone would want to willingly walk away from it. But there's a huge difference between being a recluse, and being a person that stays away from the media spotlight...
The best exit from the limelight was Barbara Mandrell. She said she was giving up performing. Did a televised concert, and went home. No endless farewell concerts. Very classy exit.
@@andyjenkinson5070 The longest break in music history. Happily, they got back together. I hope Frida is right and that there’s another album before they call it a day.
I’m close to 56 years old and I grew up with ABBA. Quite literally from when ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo. As much as my musical taste changed as I reached my mid-teens, ABBA’s music has never left me and I still listen to them regularly. ABBA was also the reason why I fell in love with Scandinavia, especially Sweden. Mostly I listen to Scandinavian Heavy Metal these days because it is the best; it is both pure and honest. May I also say that when Scandinavians speak English, their glorious accent comes to the fore. It’s wonderful. ABBA will always be the best.
I'm two years older than you and never really appreciated Abba in their heyday, but came to love them in the 1990s (and still do). Ska and reggae are my main musical loves. Re accents, yes the Swedish and Norwegian accents are a bit like the Welsh accent at times (I'm Welsh myself). They have that up-and-down sing-songy feel!
@@johnnyb8825 I had older family members (cousins etc) who we saw all the time and they loved ABBA, too, so I heard their music pretty much constantly. To be honest I remember more of the times around when ‘Arrival’ was released, but my mum reminds me quite often how I’d be dancing and singing to their earlier stuff with family when I was 6. Apparently I’d put my hands on my hips and move from side to side while singing to Waterloo.😇 Happy days.
I had the good fortune to meet Agnetha and ABBA in a disco in Leysin, Switzerland, back in 1979. They were dancing, enjoying the music, and were fun and kind.
I like agnetha from the beginning 1975 when abba started to the top, until now 2024 I have always symphaty and love her so much even she is 5 years older than me.
What a beautiful and talented gift to me and to the world. Sending all my love from Melbourne Australia. I have seen ABBA Voyage 10 times. The best nights of my life. I love you as does the world Agnetha. XXX
It is admirable to listen to Agnetha with the prudence and sincerity that she expresses and respect for past situations with ABBA (even knowing her difficulties in the English language) in particular, the clarity with which she speaks about divorces, because "The winner takes it all" was composed in July 1980 more than a year and a half after her separation from Björn and closer to the separation of Benny and Frida which was a few months later
As someone who was born in 1966, Abba were the soundtrack to my childhood. Re divorce, loads of my schoolfriends had parents who were divorced or separated. It's like the 1970s were the "fallout" from the sexual revolution of the 1960s. My best friend's mother was the same age as Agnetha (she was 17 when he was born). I remember her splitting up from his dad and moving to another part of the city and taking the kids with her. Looking back, it's as if songs like "Knowing Me Knowing You" and "The Winner Takes It All" summed it all up.
Its incredible they continued working together despite divorces. Imagine the atmosphere in the studio, on gigs and all that. But again, it wasnt all grudges and stuff because there are videos that show they still collabed, like christmas 86 something, opening of the museum etc, they all in good terms and thats so nice, and look they even reunited made new stuff, thats just amazing
in the studio they were professional but outside not so much as they have said themselves tensions it wasnt fun for them anymore etc thats why by 82 because of the divorces they were burned out and went there separate ways.
From the very start the interviewers were inaccurate by stating she walked away from the business after Abba ended. Agnetha had a nice solo career throughout the rest of the 80s. The title of the video is not too much better as it is clickbait because she stated the PRESS blamed her (not the public). But I don't recall anyone blaming her. And finally, it was the entire group that said it doesn't feel good anymore to continue. Not just Agnetha.
Almost every band/group has a limited lifespan and regardless of personal relationships, ABBA's was clearly coming to an end. There are only so many high quality songs the vast majority of songwriters can create and the quality of ABBA songs was in decline in the 80s. Bands can hurt their legacy by dragging things out for as long as they can just for the money. The ones that do invariably rely on playing their old material when performing Live. ABBA were mainly a recording and lip-sync TV act and only played live concerts sporadically. They probably retired the band at the right time imo.
As humans we need to understand that the troubles we have are reflected in the lives of the rich and famous, their happiness, sadness, pain and struggles are as our own. Let them be, pray for them.
What is a shame is that she doesn’t really realise how much the public really love her and the whole of ABBA. People think is such a shame but no blame
Agnetha Has a lovely voice. Both her and Anni-Frid Sang so well together . When Agnetha sang The song The winner takes it all you could see the pain in her eyes
Don't blame yourself it's a natural when you up the top there's too many questions.. but the important is you enjoy every moment and everybody enjoyed your music.. i love ABBA
She still looks great and oozes class. When she was young I was (still am) convinced she had been sent by the Gods to show us what real feminine beauty was, somewhat along the lines of the classic Greek literature stories, where the men sailing out would have a goddess protecting and guiding them.
She's always been most reserved, aloof as Scandinavians are. No surprise there. Also it's all business too. This is why they continued to perform together after their separation & divorce.
She didn’t exactly walk away and hide in 1982 from the world. She released an album in 1983, and Albert 1985, and , 1987. She did massive tours with all three of them and huge promotions. She recorded one of them in America with Peter Cetera in her own words. When the 90s came, she decided to just chill out kickback and do her own thing as As it was time to let the new comers Take A Chance
Agnetha was the main front of the band, it was obvious, the looks, the hair, and oh that voice, having that presence must become a burden eventually if your unlucky I guess, I’m just glad she’s back recording again, and she’s still a beautiful woman
I would say the woman were very equal front women. Watch out for the Frida fans lol. I love both of them but Agnetha really captures my heart and imagination most.
Faltskog had roots that were as long as Sweden top to bottom and a massive gap in her teeth. Child bearing hips. Too much eye make-up too. Anni-Frid Lyngstad was the better singer, a far more natural appearance and a better figure. Anni-Frid actually looked like she wanted to be there as well, unlike Miss Sourpuss
agnetha was verry personal in this intervieuw nice to see.i dont have the feeling she hated this questions. she nows the questions it is not a life intervieuw. i dont find the interviewer rude. no one forced her. but i understand that sbe doesnt like interveuws. it must be verry painfull if everybody blames you for everything . but i have the feeling that agnetha hated more the public eye than bjorn benny and frida. bjorn gives the most intervieuws i think he loves the attention can handle it verry well.
As one gets older there is a move to the spiritual. A person wants Peace and the craziness of the world is less enjoyable. Agnetha is just 3 years younger than me. I really loved her voice....Sal : )
It would be great to spend enough time to really learn what Agnetha is all about, what makes her tick and get her perspectives on the extreme fame and fortune that she experienced. She certainly had a unique and beautiful voice and she also had the musical talent to go along with it. Couple that with her incredible eye appeal and she was a real powerhouse. Anna-Frid was equally beautiful and talented as well, so it's no wonder that they reached such an incredible level of super-stardom. There've been a lot of ABBA tribute bands that I've heard and none of them can come anywhere close to recreating the magic that Agnetha and Anna-Frid generated on stage. Together, they were one-of-a-kind.
No, we don't want to even further intrude in her life. She is like the rest of us, different on a different day and wants to be what she wants to be, without letting others know that she's happy or sad. Her life belongs to herself only and to her family. Jut imagine having to answer all these questions you have asked? She's not a public property. 😊
@@E-Kat Interviewing someone is not an intrusion into someone's life as long as they are willing to do it. And they don't have to answer questions with which they feel uncomfortable. Interviews are actually a great opportunity for someone to share their true feelings and perspectives and inform people of the truth. It's certainly better than media speculation and rumors.
Yes, Artvand. I like your reply. Stars get paid to do interviews & they set boundaries before the interview about what to ask & not to ask. About Frida. I always found her personality to be aloof & frosty. She always came across as more of a businesswoman than a singer singing about love. When she sang, her voice sounded harder too. She just didn't put her emotions of singing with her heart & soul like Agnetha did. I found Frida just very ordinary. We would never have heard of her without ABBA. Joining ABBA was her lucky break.
@@johanna5688 I know plenty of people who are perceived as aloof but if you really get to know who they are inside, they are not. Your perception is your perception. I enjoyed Frida's singing every bit as much as Agnetha's and while Agnetha had her platinum blond hair and queen-of-the-nile look, I found Frida to be every bit as sexy and her body was every bit as attractive, maybe even moreso than Agnetha's. Regardless of how Frida got into the band, it was clearly fate that put her there. Her voice was very much like Agnetha's and blended with it perfectly. She was the perfect yin to Agnetha's yang. No one in the world could have matched up better with Agnetha than Frida.
From what I understand, everyone was worn out and had to stop, or it would kill them. Having been on the road several times, I can easily see it, and I wasn't doing anything near what ABBA was trying to do!
Make me a promise please don't blame your self you are good a beautiful kind loving fun happy positive person always i can see in your beautiful face kindness.dont worry about people they are just jealous.sorry about your dervose you deserve much much better.remeber the angel god sent down from heaven so we could met i think it's beautiful ❤️. when i met you on UA-cam.your beautiful videos.
Agnetha gets blamed as the media saw that she was the most negative about towards ABBA of the core four. The media kinda filled in the narrative. Although Frida was upset over Benny, it was not a deal breaker concerning ABBA. She had always been positive and wishful about ABBA starting up again - perhaps after BB and Tim Rice finish writing musical. After CHESS concept album (1984) was completed. 'One Night In Bangkok ' promo video was shot. Murray Head singing lead. And ABBA "singing" backup vocals. It was just for promo. Actually it 3/4 of ABBA and a stand-in for Agnetha. Anni-Frid Lyngstad Benny Anderson Bjorn Ulverus Karen Glenmark This is why Agnetha took the hit in the media. I am sure Agnetha was asked by BB to be part of CHESS/One Night In Bangkok photo op/video.
I’ve talked to many people who have gotten to meet her they all say she’s sweet and I truly see it. She’s got a new album she’s ready to come back. But I don’t blame her for leaving the first time.
I don't think anyone blames Agnetha. I think it's fairly evident that all four ABBA members needed a break from each other. The two men were making no secret that they wanted to 'try something else' and Frida recorded her 'Something's Going On' album not long after 'The Visitors' was released. Agnetha did not walk away from music either. She recorded solo albums during the 80's and even travelled to Los Angeles to record 'I Stand Alone'. It was always the endless promotion that took the group away from home Going solo allows the artist to do things a little more at their own pace and have a better work / home lifestyle balance.
BJORN, wrote “The Winner Takes It All”!! He stated in MULTIPLE interviews that “it was an expression of how HE felt about the divorce”, and wanted Agnetha to “be the one to sing it”!! (“@SSHOLE MOVE”!!) In MY eyes…It was a “slap to the face” for Agnetha!! However, being the CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL that she was, and STILL IS, she poured ALL HER (at the time) “current emotions”, as well as her ASTOUNDING VOCAL CAPABILITIES into “recording the song”, the “making of the video”, and in “EVERY SUBSEQUENT ‘PUBLIC’ PERFORMANCE OF IT”!! Although I “envied” Agnetha’s “looks and vocal talent” as an “awkward and impressionable young girl with ‘similarly blonde hair’,” FRIDA was EQUALLY as “beautiful and talented” in HER “OWN “RIGHT”!! Without the “two of them”, there WOULD BE, NO “ABBA”!! Bjorn HIMSELF, stated in interviews, included in the “mockumentary” 1977 film, “ABBA: The Movie” (filmed while on their 1977 cross-continent Australian tour; with “some footage” being filmed later that year in Stockholm), that “what made ‘ABBA’, distinctly ‘ABBA’…was ‘the combination of the voices of the girls…’!!” Though Agnetha was often “given lead vocals” on MANY ABBA songs, FRIDA ALSO “SANG LEAD VOCALS”!! (“Hello!! ‘Fernando’ and ‘Money, Money, Money”!!) Agnetha has been quoted in interviews, that “because our vocals were so similar, if one of us felt ‘sick’ while performing live, the OTHER would ‘sing more loudly’!!” (Thus, “becoming the ‘lead vocalist’!!”) I suggest you listen to “I am an ‘A’!!” The “guys” wrote the song; which “describes the ‘unique personalities and quirks’ of each of them”!! Agnetha’s “happy place” was “at home, going to sleep early”; while Frida “craved ‘fame, fortune and the spotlight’!!” “They” ALL “wanted different things in life”, and IMHO, THIS was potentially the “reason for their subsequent divorces”!! Catherine, Florida
SHE HAD SAID SHE HAD NOTHING TO OFFER TO MUSIC!!!IS IT POSSIBLE SUCH A VOICE NOT TO OFFER TO MUSIC???PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT CHIQUITITA AGNETHA YOU CAN CREATE MASTERPIECES!!!IMAGINE YOU SING EVITA,THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA,AQUARIUS,JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR-WAIT SHE HAD DID THAT-THE MISERABLES,THE TITANIC, FROZEN!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Each of the songs you suggested she could sing are rubbish. I hate all of them. She sings pop music, not Phantom of the Opera crap. Pop fans won't go for crappy Evita et al. People enjoyed their pop songs. That's what they were famous for. If you want theatre musicals, you're on the wrong channel here.😂😂
I agree she still a very nice looking lady and a young woman. Anni was great she has a great voice and nice looking hair. I remember ABBA quite well I am about the same age. Well they had quite an exciting life. So was their divorce really needed only ABBA can answere that. “The Winner Takes It All” I take it this was the song that she wanted her man that she fell in love with and now he’s gone. I’m am 67 and hope ABBA can get back to their band they all have beautiful voices.
By her own actions, words it was somewhat justified. Remember CHESS promo. The One Night In Bangkok promo video? Murray Head lead vocalist and ABBA lined up "singing" back-up. No Agnetha. Anni-Frid Lyngstad Benny Anderson Bjorn Ulverus Karin Glenmark The informed know ABBA never officially broke up in 1982. They were on a break. Perhaps after BB wrote their musical (CHESS) they would be back. That was the hope. But you have to have ALL four core yes for that to happen.. Everyone knew Frida loved being part of ABBA. She wanted to group to be whole again and recording. Her comments, actions, ABBA legacy appearances, continued fan engagement, etc... signified her positive position and attitude towards ABBA. It was always Agnetha that seemed to be the 'No'! Vote. Her actions and words always signified her position. _____ Of the entire Polar Music Team it has always been Frida and Gorel Hanser that have been the "rocks".
Also, listen to this interview when she brings up Frida and Benny's divorce and everyone being sad. Yes. Of course everyone is sad. Those two were that groups romantic and sexy couple. But, their break up did not sour Frida on ABBA returning and recording more music. It is like she is acknowledging her want of letting ABBA go and trying to tag Frida has having the same position as Agnetha. That has never been Frida's position. Frida has always been resilient and her divorce with Benny, although tragic, did not diminish her wanting ABBA to continue.
She also had a short lived Marriage to American Tennis player Steve Lancer in the 90'S but Lancer had it annulled after a few months citing she suffered from depression .
Beautiful voice. She’s aged naturally and is still lovely.
Very much so
She is still so beautiful.
Beautiful woman, inside and out.
She's great! I grew up with ABBA and their lyrics. I am pleased Agnetha is happy.
Agnetha is an amazing woman, artist. She is both a beautiful woman on the outside as well as the inside🥰🇦🇺
Absolutely agree. She is beautiful and amazing
She is still so
beautiful today in her mid 70s. And so gracious too. ❤
She is always such a lovely woman.
One of the most beautiful women of her time... ❤
Very elegant and classy lady.

She is still gorgeous
She still looks really good.
The interview ts over 10 years old when Gary Barlow coaxed her out for children in need song she duetted
Love her! She speaks English very well.
Yes, she couldn't before in their heydays.
Winner Takes it all, is their best song she sings it from the heart.
The sparkle was never the same once the couples decoupled.
I don't think Abba's musical talent and performances were all so connected with how their private lives were going.
To me, she was the main voice of Abba, and probably the main 'face' of Abba. She was certainly MY favourite. It was a sad day when they broke up, and what happened after, but she still looks amazing and I hope things will somehow turn around for the better.
Only 5 words needed!!!!! "Thank you for the music" xx

Together, they were one-of-a-kind.
It's because of weirdos like you that she became reclusive
No, we don't want to even further intrude in her life.
She is like the rest of us, different on a different day and wants to be what she wants to be, without letting others know that she's happy or sad.
Her life belongs to herself only and to her family.
Jut imagine having to answer all these questions you have asked?
She's not a public property. 😊
@@E-Kat Interviewing someone is not an intrusion into someone's life as long as they are willing to do it. And they don't have to answer questions with which they feel uncomfortable. Interviews are actually a great opportunity for someone to share their true feelings and perspectives and inform people of the truth. It's certainly better than media speculation and rumors.
Yes, Artvand. I like your reply. Stars get paid to do interviews & they set boundaries before the interview about what to ask & not to ask.
About Frida. I always found her personality to be aloof & frosty. She always came across as more of a businesswoman than a singer singing about love. When she sang, her voice sounded harder too. She just didn't put her emotions of singing with her heart & soul like Agnetha did. I found Frida just very ordinary. We would never have heard of her without ABBA. Joining ABBA was her lucky break.
@@johanna5688 I know plenty of people who are perceived as aloof but if you really get to know who they are inside, they are not. Your perception is your perception. I enjoyed Frida's singing every bit as much as Agnetha's and while Agnetha had her platinum blond hair and queen-of-the-nile look, I found Frida to be every bit as sexy and her body was every bit as attractive, maybe even moreso than Agnetha's. Regardless of how Frida got into the band, it was clearly fate that put her there. Her voice was very much like Agnetha's and blended with it perfectly. She was the perfect yin to Agnetha's yang. No one in the world could have matched up better with Agnetha than Frida.
Beautiful album
Brilliant voice still
Hello Kim, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Still a beautiful woman
From what I understand, everyone was worn out and had to stop, or it would kill them. Having been on the road several times, I can easily see it, and I wasn't doing anything near what ABBA was trying to do!
absolutely beautiful agnetha ! True beauty, sorry for the issues she had to go alone, I understand perfectly! ❤❤❤😢

Agnetha gets blamed as the media saw that she was the most negative about towards ABBA of the core four. The media kinda filled in the narrative.
Although Frida was upset over Benny, it was not a deal breaker concerning ABBA. She had always been positive and wishful about ABBA starting up again - perhaps after BB and Tim Rice finish writing musical.
After CHESS concept album (1984) was completed. 'One Night In Bangkok ' promo video was shot. Murray Head singing lead. And ABBA "singing" backup vocals. It was just for promo.
Actually it 3/4 of ABBA and a stand-in for Agnetha.

This is why Agnetha took the hit in the media. I am sure Agnetha was asked by BB to be part of CHESS/One Night In Bangkok photo op/video.
Hey,...this is 10 years or more, ago...😮
I’ve talked to many people who have gotten to meet her they all say she’s sweet and I truly see it.
She’s got a new album she’s ready to come back.
But I don’t blame her for leaving the first time.
Hello Catie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

Classy lady still
ABBA continues to make a lot of money today 💰 The drama 🎭 is part of the business 💿
I'm blaming her and I don't know what for..
It just feels good
Ya gotta blame somebody.!!
I don't think anyone blames Agnetha. I think it's fairly evident that all four ABBA members needed a break from each other. The two men were making no secret that they wanted to 'try something else' and Frida recorded her 'Something's Going On' album not long after 'The Visitors' was released. Agnetha did not walk away from music either. She recorded solo albums during the 80's and even travelled to Los Angeles to record 'I Stand Alone'. It was always the endless promotion that took the group away from home Going solo allows the artist to do things a little more at their own pace and have a better work / home lifestyle balance.
Hello Chelsea, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Agthena so beautiful She was star of Abba thats a fact !!
She was the hottest in the group.
She looks great. And she seems ego free.
It's worth mentioning that this interview is from BBC Breakfast in May 10, 2013. The interviewer is Charlie Stayt.
BJORN, wrote “The Winner Takes It All”!! He stated in MULTIPLE interviews that “it was an expression of how HE felt about the divorce”, and wanted Agnetha to “be the one to sing it”!! (“@SSHOLE MOVE”!!) In MY eyes…It was a “slap to the face” for Agnetha!! However, being the CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL that she was, and STILL IS, she poured ALL HER (at the time) “current emotions”, as well as her ASTOUNDING VOCAL CAPABILITIES into “recording the song”, the “making of the video”, and in “EVERY SUBSEQUENT ‘PUBLIC’ PERFORMANCE OF IT”!!
Although I “envied” Agnetha’s “looks and vocal talent” as an “awkward and impressionable young girl with ‘similarly blonde hair’,” FRIDA was EQUALLY as “beautiful and talented” in HER “OWN “RIGHT”!! Without the “two of them”, there WOULD BE, NO “ABBA”!! Bjorn HIMSELF, stated in interviews, included in the “mockumentary” 1977 film, “ABBA: The Movie” (filmed while on their 1977 cross-continent Australian tour; with “some footage” being filmed later that year in Stockholm), that “what made ‘ABBA’, distinctly ‘ABBA’…was ‘the combination of the voices of the girls…’!!” Though Agnetha was often “given lead vocals” on MANY ABBA songs, FRIDA ALSO “SANG LEAD VOCALS”!! (“Hello!! ‘Fernando’ and ‘Money, Money, Money”!!) Agnetha has been quoted in interviews, that “because our vocals were so similar, if one of us felt ‘sick’ while performing live, the OTHER would ‘sing more loudly’!!” (Thus, “becoming the ‘lead vocalist’!!”)
I suggest you listen to “I am an ‘A’!!” The “guys” wrote the song; which “describes the ‘unique personalities and quirks’ of each of them”!! Agnetha’s “happy place” was “at home, going to sleep early”; while Frida “craved ‘fame, fortune and the spotlight’!!” “They” ALL “wanted different things in life”, and IMHO, THIS was potentially the “reason for their subsequent divorces”!!

SHE HAD SAID SHE HAD NOTHING TO OFFER TO MUSIC!!!IS IT POSSIBLE SUCH A VOICE NOT TO OFFER TO MUSIC???PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT CHIQUITITA AGNETHA YOU CAN CREATE MASTERPIECES!!!IMAGINE YOU SING EVITA,THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA,AQUARIUS,JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR-WAIT SHE HAD DID THAT-THE MISERABLES,THE TITANIC, FROZEN!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Each of the songs you suggested she could sing are rubbish. I hate all of them. She sings pop music, not Phantom of the Opera crap. Pop fans won't go for crappy Evita et al. People enjoyed their pop songs. That's what they were famous for. If you want theatre musicals, you're on the wrong channel here.😂😂
They were smart, they stopped while still on top and people adoring them.
I agree she still a very nice looking lady and a young woman.
Anni was great she has a great voice and nice looking hair.
I remember ABBA quite well I am about the same age.
Well they had quite an exciting life. So was their divorce really needed only ABBA can answere that.
“The Winner Takes It All” I take it this was the song that she wanted her man that she fell in love with and now he’s gone.
I’m am 67 and hope ABBA can get back to their band they all have beautiful voices.

I remember reading the newspapers in 1984 and I fucking hated reading all the blame on Agnetha and all the trash talk against her.
By her own actions, words it was somewhat justified.
Remember CHESS promo. The One Night In Bangkok promo video?
Murray Head lead vocalist and ABBA lined up "singing" back-up.
No Agnetha.

The informed know ABBA never officially broke up in 1982. They were on a break. Perhaps after BB wrote their musical (CHESS) they would be back. That was the hope. But you have to have ALL four core yes for that to happen..
Everyone knew Frida loved being part of ABBA. She wanted to group to be whole again and recording. Her comments, actions, ABBA legacy appearances, continued fan engagement, etc... signified her positive position and attitude towards ABBA.
It was always Agnetha that seemed to be the 'No'! Vote. Her actions and words always signified her position.

Of the entire Polar Music Team it has always been Frida and Gorel Hanser that have been the "rocks".
Also, listen to this interview when she brings up Frida and Benny's divorce and everyone being sad.
Yes. Of course everyone is sad. Those two were that groups romantic and sexy couple. But, their break up did not sour Frida on ABBA returning and recording more music.
It is like she is acknowledging her want of letting ABBA go and trying to tag Frida has having the same position as Agnetha.
That has never been Frida's position. Frida has always been resilient and her divorce with Benny, although tragic, did not diminish her wanting ABBA to continue.
She also had a short lived Marriage to American Tennis player Steve Lancer in the 90'S but Lancer had it annulled after a few months citing she suffered from depression .
Gorgeous still … always
like shes still beautiful , maybe more so in a deeper way
To me Agnetha was ABBA
All four members of ABBA contributed equally in different ways. if one was replaced there would be no ABBA.
