I have met Björn and Benny many times, but never the two girls. I was in the same TV-show as Björn already in 1969, when I was 15 years old. And in 2007 I, together with Björn and Benny were at the same poster, as the main speakers at a conference in the Royal Library in Stockholm about the author Vilhelm Moberg (I talked about his dramas and they talked about how they wrote the musical "Kristina from Duvemåla"). Björn is a bit reserved when you talk with him, but very polite. Benny is very easy to talk with. He is just like any ordinary guy you happen to meet in the street, Benny is the real genius of the group. He is still pouring out a stream of hit songs for various artists, and he has his own band of Swedish folk musicians.
@mathsjesperson8432 : Although not sure how far Benny's wonderful melodies would resonate with so many people's emotions without the depth of Bjorn's lyrics which give the songs meaning and relateability. I think it is pairing of the two of them that led to success. As Bjorn also said, it also took the girls voices, looks and personalities to add the magic. As solo careers none of them flew that high, so it was the combination of the 4 that made ABBA so polished and unique. But undoubtedly it is the fabulous melodies that everything else is built on. 🤍
What a bizarre reaction, never seen anyone react who thought the video was funny. Think you must have some warped thinking. Btw her name isn't Agatha ...............
Completely agreed. Most people think this song is so sad. It's really not very questionable what it means. It's very clearly a breakup song. Why is this funny?
They completely missed the emotional weight of the song. This poor woman, crushed by lost love, is pouring out her broken soul, and all they can do is giggle.
So glad to see you again discover more ABBA songs ABBA in the begining was two swedish couples, meet in 1969: A- Agnetha (blonde singer) & B- Björn (guitarist songwriter productor) B- Benny (pianist songwriter productor) & A- Anni Frid 'Frida' (brunette singer) Agnetha & Björn married in 1971, with two Young childrens Benny and Frida married in 1978, withouth own childrens both couples separated before the breakup of ABBA in 1982: Agnetha & Björn at end of 1978 Benny & Frida at begin 1981 "The winner takes it all" (1980) is one of the Best Songs by ABBA and the Most sad and emotional too The best lyrics by the guitarist Björn and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation of the blonde singer Agnetha Fältskog and her soprano voice The lyrics is a fiction about a divorce, it is not about Their real life, although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences and the realization of the legal divorce between Agnetha & Björn in the middle of 1980, even though They were no longer a couple or lived together more than a year and half ago, at the end of 1978 In fact, the song was more nearly in time to the split of Benny & Frida as a couple, only a few months later "The winner takes it all" return ABBA to the Top of the charts, gives ABBA their eighth #1 in UK after almost 2 1/2 years Also was the fourth and last Top10 to ABBA in U.S (pick at #8 in 1981) , and #1 in US Adult Contemporary too "The winner takes it all" was voted the Best ABBA song by the British fans, and is the favourite ABBA song to the blonde singer Agnetha and now in the new Voyage concerts at London that begins exactly one year and half before, the encore song is... "The winner takes it all" That's are my next suggestions: official video of "Super Trouper" or live perfomance of "Waterloo" at Eurovision 1974 in UK I wish to You a nice week my best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
Most of Abba's video's was directed by a young Lasse Hallström. Later he went to Hollywood and made, among others, Gilbert Grape, The shipping news, Chocolat and Ciderhouse rules.
He said that it was funny to see the other girl taking a walk between the two guys. He said: "does it mean that the other girl is the winner because she got both boys for her?" He has misunderstood it all.
This song hits so hard, you wish you wouldn't hear it again because the more you hear it the harder it hits, but it's too beautiful and you take the risk!
Really ? This is the most beautiful heartbreaking song ever written, and must have been really hard for Agnetha to sing, written by bjorn her ex, not long after their divorce, Agnetha pours her heart and sole into it and you can feel her pain, how does this make you laugh ? I could cry everytime i hear it. This is a masterpiece and ABBA'S best
I was pretty close to follow your channel before you came up with your weird interpretation... You shouldn't do any more ABBA-reactions, they just soil the beautiful art they've left for the world to enjoy... Go on reacting to music you really like, but do me the favor and stay away from ABBA. Neither your heart nor your brain are able to understand their magic.
This song, along with Dancing Queen, are my favorites from ABBA. And those 2 songs have nothing in common with each other. And, leave it to John to think of a 3some. It’s just about a breakup, lol.
Hi guys🙂 I'm Swedish😇Just a little information about ABBA😉They have written all there songs,and they have never been singing someone else's song's 😌 Like you're style by the way😘and Lulu is a 😍cutie and that goes for the both of you of course 😇😁 See ya🖐
I remember this song being played during the postgame coverage of Super Bowl XV back in 1981. The Eagles had just lost to the Raiders, and this song was played during postgame coverage of the Eagles' locker room, where the disappointment and deflation contrasted with the celebration going on in the Raiders' locker room. I was rooting for the Raiders, but kind of felt sorry for the Eagles.
When this song came everyone assumed it was about the break-up/divorce between Agnetha and Björn. Well themselves especially Björn denied it for years. Eventually he did admitted it was partly inspired by their situation. Björn wrote the song at their summer house in the archipelago outside Stockholm with the company of a bottle of Scotch. Agnetha broke down in tears first time she read the lyrics and says it's her favorite song with ABBA. If you took the time to actually listen to the lyrics you'll understand why she's walking alone why she's in focus 🤦♂ . I wonder who the clueless one really is🤦♂
this song breaks my heart each time. This song is about Agnetha divorce/separation. Let me guide you on how to listen to this song: you don't move, you don't sing along, you listen to the lyrics (which are the most important thing on this song) and you watch Agnetha's expressions during the video, which breaks my heart how sad she looks on multiple moments. There is also no doubt that the performance was extraordinary. Laughing during the song was kind of disrespectful for the people that loves this song.
She is sad because Bjorn left her. Their marriage was just over and it was written as their breakup song. They were married for a very long time and had a child together
Did you even listen to the lyrics of this sad, beautiful song? There is nothing funny about it and as for menage a trois, ridiculous, it is about divorce and how painful it can be. I won't be watching any more of your garbage.
What a disgraceful reaction to a sublime song. Truly bad. What on earth were you both laughing at, especially that bloke. Despicable and disrespectful. You obviously weren't truly listening to this beautiful song. Don't ever react to ABBA again. You have no respect for art.
Well, the reactor has gotten a very weird reaction regarding the end of the video clip. He has had a very confused understanding with the other girl who is taking a walk between the guys. But it was because he didn't understand that the singer was talking about her and her husband who got divorced from her. What a mess he did. Sorry, but I'll have to give it a thumbs down for the very first time among the thousands of reactions I have seen until now.

One of the best sad/love lost songs ever made! ♥

So what you're saying is....this is all about you?
@@robk5159 Which commenter are you insulting? 🤔
@@scented-leafpelargonium3366 Really?....you read this thread of comments and you could not tell?...don't confuse honesty with insult.
Björn and Benny,... Legends in the sport of Song-writing..!!!
The word genius is used too much but I think it applies to those two guys.
What a bizarre reaction, never seen anyone react who thought the video was funny. Think you must have some warped thinking. Btw her name isn't Agatha ...............
Completely agreed. Most people think this song is so sad. It's really not very questionable what it means. It's very clearly a breakup song. Why is this funny?
Such a bizarre reaction, you have some weird things pinging around in your head man.!
That's what I just said.
@@StuartJackyou have said it all.
Yes, most fake response I have ever seen.
50 years will pass and people will continue to be surprised by ABBA's music, They are voices of ANGELS ❤❤❤
Masterpiece of 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️👌
Great react, as usual, guys ✌️!
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
Sorry but I'll have to disagree at this time.
The song is so obvious and absolutely self explanatory. What are you talking about! Spoilt it totally.
They completely missed the emotional weight of the song. This poor woman, crushed by lost love, is pouring out her broken soul, and all they can do is giggle.
Exacto, no tienen ni idea del alma de Agnetha.
Es una de las canciones mas tristes y hermosas de la historia del pop.
You didn't listened to the beautiful lyrics..
they had no idea what this music was about. there is nothing to laugh about. there is no point on playing "air piano".
So glad to see you again discover more ABBA songs
ABBA in the begining was two swedish couples, meet in 1969:
A- Agnetha (blonde singer) &
B- Björn (guitarist songwriter productor)
B- Benny (pianist songwriter productor) &
A- Anni Frid 'Frida' (brunette singer)
Agnetha & Björn married in 1971, with two Young childrens
Benny and Frida married in 1978, withouth own childrens
both couples separated before the breakup of ABBA in 1982:
Agnetha & Björn at end of 1978
Benny & Frida at begin 1981
"The winner takes it all" (1980)
is one of the Best Songs by ABBA
and the Most sad and emotional too
The best lyrics by the guitarist Björn
and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation
of
the blonde singer Agnetha Fältskog and her soprano voice
The lyrics is a fiction about a divorce,
it is not about Their real life,
although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences
and the realization of the legal divorce
between Agnetha & Björn in the middle of 1980,
even though They were no longer a couple or lived together more than a year and half ago, at the end of 1978
In fact, the song was more nearly in time to the split of
Benny & Frida as a couple, only a few months later
"The winner takes it all" return ABBA to the Top of the charts,
gives ABBA their eighth #1 in UK after almost 2 1/2 years
Also was the fourth and last Top10 to ABBA in U.S (pick at #8 in 1981)
, and #1 in US Adult Contemporary too
"The winner takes it all"
was voted the Best ABBA song by the British fans,
and is the favourite ABBA song to the blonde singer Agnetha
and now in the new Voyage concerts at London that begins exactly one year and half before, the encore song is...
"The winner takes it all"
That's are my next suggestions:
official video of "Super Trouper" or
live perfomance of "Waterloo" at Eurovision 1974 in UK
I wish to You a nice week
my best regards from
Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
Love this backgrounder! Thx for sharing. Didn't realize it was about divorce!
Crazy I grew up with my mom listening to abba lol lately I been on an abba roll lol
Good for the spirit.
Most of Abba's video's was directed by a young Lasse Hallström. Later he went to Hollywood and made, among others, Gilbert Grape, The shipping news, Chocolat and Ciderhouse rules.
What so funny about this beautiful sad song
He said that it was funny to see the other girl taking a walk between the two guys. He said: "does it mean that the other girl is the winner because she got both boys for her?"
He has misunderstood it all.
This song hits so hard, you wish you wouldn't hear it again because the more you hear it the harder it hits, but it's too beautiful and you take the risk!
Best Band Ever
One of the best love songs ever.
ABBA still holds. 👌
The song is about their divorce. 😔.
Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
One of their greatest; very haunting and not like most of their other stuff.
what an inadequate reaction....disappointing
Really ?

I love watching reactions but how come you react to something you've already seen/heard before? Takes away the thrill for me 😊
This song hurts my heart the words the singing and that piano.
It's about their divorce and dealing with being in the band still.
Hi guys🙂
I'm Swedish😇Just a little information about ABBA😉They have written all there songs,and they have never been singing someone else's song's 😌
Like you're style by the way😘and Lulu is a 😍cutie and that goes for the both of you of course 😇😁
See ya🖐
That's my all-time favorite ABBA song right there.
one of the best songs I've ever heard. You need the back story behind it.
I remember this song being played during the postgame coverage of Super Bowl XV back in 1981.

The Primal Scream!!!!
What a stupid reaction to this sad and heartbreaking song! She talks about divorce and you are laughing!
this song breaks my heart each time. This song is about Agnetha divorce/separation.

She is sad because Bjorn left her. Their marriage was just over and it was written as their breakup song. They were married for a very long time and had a child together
Worth checking out the Allie Sherlock cover it is outstanding imo
S.O.S ? No need for that.Just listen to ABBA songs and you are safe
Agnetha Se estaba divorciando de Biorj.....es una cancion de desamor
This was written as a break up between Agnetha and Bjorn. They separated!!!
The winner takes it all - and in a divorce there is no winner...
Please react to Jennifer Holliday singing ‘I Am Telling You’ at the Tony Awards 1982
Did you even listen to the lyrics of this sad, beautiful song? There is nothing funny about it and as for menage a trois, ridiculous, it is about divorce and how painful it can be. I won't be watching any more of your garbage.

So now you also need to check Tommy Johansson version of this song 😉it is a bit different but awesome 😍🤩🎸
Tommy sucks.
@@MrHolmgren194why ?
@@deeperanddown yes ABBA is ABBA.
No way. I don't like his covers
and Noone like ABBA to do ABBA songs
No one likes? I love his covers and so do a lot of people. Tommy is the most talented musician Sweden has. 😂❤
Epic
Bad reaction. Do you pay attention to the lyrics?!? Do you really understand what you are watching?!?
Oh look, 'influencers' without any ability to think. Meanwhile, in other news, we reveal that grass is green.
Ummm, I think you went way deeper than the song intended. Take it face value, Dude. It's about Love, marriage, heartbreak and divorce.
What's so funny? Are you really paying attention to the lyrics!
Bad reaction 🤣🤣
Well, the reactor has gotten a very weird reaction regarding the end of the video clip. He has had a very confused understanding with the other girl who is taking a walk between the guys. But it was because he didn't understand that the singer was talking about her and her husband who got divorced from her. What a mess he did.
