    This song is amazing. It must have been really hard for her to perform this song because it was released not long after their marriage break up. Beautiful song but sad. Oh & I`m not ashamed to admit that I had a serious crush on her when I was a teenager. 🥰

Why would Bjorn Ulvaeus who has written any number of hit songs rip off someone else's lyrics?The first thing Polar Music would do is submit the song for copyright.Go back to your mom's basement.She will call you when it's time for dinner.

    Björn originally denied it was about their marriage.. but later admitted he wrote this he had drunk, and emotional, and written the lyrics in an hour! And when he first showed it to Agnetha, she cried. It does make this performance all the more special. They were never a teenage pop group, but two married couples that wrote about the reality and pain of relationships. More background music to my teenage years. And they are back! I have enjoyed "I still have faith in You" and "Don't shut me down" as they are so much about them and their story.

    I heard them the first time in the 80's half asleep in the back seat of the car traveling across country.
    I thought it was the greatest sound I had ever heard. I told my mom the next morning about what I heard. She says "Oh, Abba! Here's the tape!" I thought it was on the radio! I quickly put it in my Walkman and listened to it a billion times.

    I was 10 years old when ABBA became a world wide sensation . They made their first tour to Australia in 1977 and the fans went crazy . Agnetha has a great voice , but so does Anni Frid Lyngstad . Just listen to her singing Super Trouper and I have a dream, her Mezzo Soprano vocal range is glorious

    This is the best popgroup ever! Noone can sing a story better than Agneta, both through the emotions and her capacity in the voice. She grips the listener in her storytelling. Best female singer ever I would say in that point of view at least. I love all the members in this band! A suggestion is ”The Name Of The Game” where they all four shines - the most complex song of their biggest hits which just grows. You make great reactions anyway! Cheers!

    I remember back in the 70s when they were guests on one of the daytime talk shows and I believe it was Mike Douglas who asked them how they all got along being married and essentially business partners. And they replied that they had wonderful relationships and each couple were very much in love. So when they both got divorced I was a little surprised as I sure everybody was at that time.

    So nice to see you again It's such a long time that your last reaction to ABBA
    I'm so glad that you return with ABBA songs
    "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 one of their lead singer, the blonde 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
    but as They said in interviews after their break up, it included the feelings of all four, because at the same time of these TV perfomance begins the split of the other couple, Benny and Frida
    the Official Video, with more than 115 millions views in UA-cam, was filmed on July 12 (1980), is a Masterpiece as the song
    (it shows the blonde singer Agnetha alone so sad and remembering happy times, and the others members so nice together, a perfect example of contrast feelings)
    It's the first ABBA vídeo with images in black and white about Their previous history, to introduce us in the context; I think it's their best official video
    but just as a great performance by Agnetha is seen in these video, almost like a dramatic actress, transmitting the sorrow, anguish and pain,
    (there are also videos in the back room of the filming, which show the four cheerful and fun)
    These is a TV perfomance of ABBA in Germany 1980
    after these, ABBA performed two more songs; "Super Trouper", with the brunnette singer Frida in lead voice, and the last of the Show Express was a rock tune "On and on and on"
    when you see the three perfomances in a row, you will understand that Agnetha was as an actress in these song, because in the nexts you could see her so happy
    "The winner takes it all" return ABBA to the Top of the charts, gives ABBA their eighth #1 in UK after almost two years and half 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 the encore song is... "The winner takes it all"
    I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs
    My best regards to You from
    Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
    South America

    The backing musicians for the original four created a "tribute band" (ABBA The Show) in the 21st century. Mostly they toured in Europe, but in 2010 they made two stops in the US. I paid A LOT of money for a front row seat, because at that point I had been a fan of ABBA for 35 years and I considered it a once in a lifetime experience. Totally worth every penny (two hour show, no encores).

    КАК РАДОСТНА ЗЕМЛЯ!
    1.Первые лучи
    солнца золотого
    будят всюду жизнь,
    греют вниз и ввысь.
    Нежная лазурь
    неба голубого
    в белых облачках,
    в весенних птиц ключах.
    Как радостна Земля!
    Щебечут птиц хора,
    и славит их мой тон -
    громкий баритон!
    2.Капельки росы
    радугой сверкают
    в солнечных лучах
    всюду на листках.
    Яркая трава
    зеленью сияет,
    белым зацвели
    деревья и кусты.
    Зелёная весна
    всё радует сполна,
    и солнце движет ввысь -
    природе дарит жизнь.
    Как радостна Земля!
    Зелёные поля
    раскинулись вдали -
    будет хлеб расти.
    3.Люди топят взор
    в зелени салатной,
    наслаждая глаз
    ею в этот час.
    Лёгкий ветерок
    клонит аккуратно
    первую траву,
    шевелит листву.
    Прекрасная пора!
    Повсюду во дворах
    гремит лопат дин-дон -
    птиц певчих обертон.
    Грядущие плоды
    творят людей труды,
    всему любовь даря!
    Как радостна Земля!
    4.Где-то во траве
    пикает кузнечик.
    Бабочка летит
    и крылья золотит.
    Звуки тишины
    людям душу лечат:
    птиц небесных звон,
    ветра тихий тон...
    НО Я ГРЯНУ:
    Как радостна Земля!
    Как радостна Земля!..

    Sadly Agnetha tried marriage again 10 years after her divorce but it only lasted a few years. Then then became kind of a recluse on an island in Sweden. On a brighter note, Meryl Streep does an amazing version of this song for the movie Mama Mia. You gals should check it out. The movie too if you haven't seen it.

    You should react to "We Just Disagree" by Dave Mason. It states that "there ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy. There's only you and me and we just disagree".

    hello my dears, I say hi here from Brazil and I confess without any fear that I love the channel. Could you react to the song "Heaven Can Wait" performed by Meat Loaf ? (R.I.P) this song is my favorite of this late artist
