One of the greatest songs of all time- certainly the greatest pop ballad- ever! Everything is brilliant! Music, lyrics, vocals, and- AGNETHA! How can we not simply fall in love?!! Bravo!!!
The song never get's old because It's "Life" and as long as life goes on, so will this song. Agnetha is a goddess, she own's this, many have performed this song but nobody will ever get close to Agnetha.
How Agnetha kept her composure during the recording and filming of this song is testament to the beautiful artist she is as well as the other members of the group. You have to remember that she had been through a divorce and to have been able to get through this performance would have been extremely raw and emotional for her including the other members of the group. No matter how many times you hear this it never gets old. The lyrics and music are just as relevent and meaningful today as they were back when this was released. ABBA have a universal appeal that continues to outdo many of today's performers. Their music has the unique ability to make you feel overwhelmed with joy and sadness at the same time. They are the soundtrack to both past generations who were fortunate enough to witness their humble beginnings as well as a whole group of younger generations who are just beginning to experience the absolute pure joy and happiness their music brings. And like a fine wine they just keep getting better with age. Long may they reign!
She does absolutely everything well. She's authentic and she sings with great poise, passion and panache. The Winner Takes It All is an incredibly deep and emotional song. It almost affects me viscerally. The crescendo at the end is a killer.
ABBA is considered to be one of the largest in music history with over 400 million records sold and is one of the few artists to have succeeded across all the continents of the earth. In the mid-1970s, they were the most successful pop group in the world in all categories. Abba has almost 70 singles as lists all over the world and over 60 albums. In the UK they had 19 straight top 10 singles, 10 singles and nine albums as no. 1 on the British top list of which eight are in succession (1975, -76, -77, -78, -79, -80, -81, -82). In 2014, the group had sold 400 million records and is thus Sweden's most successful music export of all time,
Roger - ABBA did not have a UK No.1 Album in 1975. They had 2 UK No.1 Albums in 1979. They were 'Voulez-Vous' and 'Greatest Hits Vol.2'. They had 9 UK No.1 Singles - not 10. Perhaps you are counting 'One Of Us'? That reached No.3 in the 'Official' UK Charts. It was a January 1982 No.1, (1 Week), in the 'New Musical Express' Chart, but that Chart was a rival, to the 'Official' Charts, and was not regarded as 'Official'. ABBA also had an 11th No.1 Single, in that Chart, when 'Chiquitita' was a 1 Week No.1, in 1979. But that was a No.2 Hit, in the 'Official' Chart, which was used by the BBC, TV Shows and UK Chart Books...

Can you imagine when she sang this she had just been through a divorce and her ex husband had co-written this? It's a really brutal song wrapped up in a pop tune. The other divorce song is When All Is Said And Done - which came after Benny and Frida's divorce.
It's no documentary though. Björn wrote it in an slightly intoxicated state. He said himself it was fiction, although inspired by his own as well as Agnetha's experiences and feelings. He sang it himself first, in the studio, but soon realized Agnetha probably would do it better.
Her close friend said in an intervju that when she was handed the lyrics and was to go into the studio room. She had to pull every last power in her soul to be able to sing it. And I guess that is what you can her in the video, the authenticness you called it.
@@EMWMIKE possibly the same friend also.disscused how difficult it was for Agnetha, tears in her eyes, voice even breaks at some point... Love this song but in small doses, just kills me...
@@herrbonk3635 and by the time they were aleady separated for 1,5 years.. so it was not that fresh as one might think... though it for sure brought up feelings.... Björn, who wrote the lyrics was already in a happy relationship with his soon to be wife Lena, still married after almost 40 years... so the alcohol whirled something up in him putting those lyrics into Agetha's mouth... which makes it maybe not a documentary but very intimate with a twist. Everyone has and had the impression - even from the very outside - that Björn and Benny dealt - for obvious reasons - much better with their respective divorces. But obviously Björn had enough empathy - at least with the help of alcohol - to maybe put down in words what Agnetha must have felt like at least to a certain degree... that's my interpretation of how those lyrics came about why they are so real, yet not strictly documentary to him.....
my God how could they sing such tough feelings....every time i try to sing something that catches my emotion, my voice cracks and i choke on emotion....theirs is true talent
.. The girls were known for not needing much time in recording a song with their Pitch perfect perfect pitch and wide range of voice . Agnetha entered the requested darkened recording studio at 10am . Sound checks and only two run throughs in recording the song . At Noon Agnetha left the studio in tears and the rest is music history
When my partner left me after 15 yrs together this song came on a few mins later and boy did it rip me up one side and down again. Still does after 7 years!! Powerful words and expressed by Agnetha.
I've always noticed that Agnetha does such an incredible job at conveying the emotions of a song. Both with her voice and facial expressions. Once I heard Barbra Streisand doing The Winner Takes it All. She's a technically great singer but the emotion was definitely lacking. I'd love to see you react to my favorite ABBA song The Name of the Game.
@@Flipbxl I did a lot of research and am pretty sure that the CD the person had was by Susan Boyle. I'm not up on my big voiced female singers and have a bit of a tin ear so...no one on the planet has heard Ms Streisand sing The Winner Takes it All :)
🇺🇸🇲🇽/ This song was almost biographical for Agnetha, she was divorcing Björn from same ABBA group when the song was released. I can only imagine her pain and disappointment through her voice. Bravo!!! Esta canción es casi biográfica para Agnetha, se estaba divorciando de Björn del mismo grupo ABBA, cuando la canción fue estrenada. Apenas me puedo imaginar su dolor y decepción por medio de su voz, Grande!!!
Agnetha sings with pure CONVICTION!!! When she's singing about a situation...whether it be happy or sad, you feel it with her! She can convey emotion like not many other singers I've ever seen. I get alot of slack because this song is not one of my favs by ABBA, but I can't deny this is an amazing song and it's just beautifully done by her and the rest of the group.
Yes Yes Yes !! i find myself in every word you´re saying. this is a true pop masterpiece. after listen to maybe thousand of times, i´m still overwhelmed by it. thanks again for reacting to all these great ABBA tunes.
Totally agree a true masterpeice widely reguarded in the industry as one if not the finest pop song ever created ive listened to it hundreds of times and get emotional sometimes still!!! Thats powerful (or i'm a soft arse) lol
My favourite song of all time. I was just about turning 7 upon it's release, and can remember my Mum buying the single because I 'was always singing it' - a mere 40 yrs ago. The ultimate break up song, We've all lived this at least once.
Abba transcend pop music. This video in particular demonstrates that. The superb Agnetha vocal, beautiful backing from Frida. Simple yet powerful melody, emotional, very real and honest lyrics. The video accentuates every note and every lyric, with an outstanding acting performance from Agnetha. Quite extraordinary. Pure genius.
This song seems to reach inside your heart and mind and for those that have had a breakup, it strikes a chord. Agnetha always digs deep and bring the emotions to the forefront.
AGNETHA, MASTER OF SINGING WITH SUCH EMOTION. SOUNDS AS IF SHE IS CRYING THROUGH THE LYRICS, AND SINGS AT THE SAME TIME. JUST HAVE A GO AT HASTA MANANA AND ONE OF US 💘💘💘💘
When she recorded the song, the boys told her to be less singy-if that makes sense. A kind of balance between singing and part talking to give the song more meaning. They didn't want to song to be only about how well her vocal gymnastics are conveyed in the song. They didn't want it to just sound like some soaring showy broadway tune.
Agnetha and Björn were a married couple with 2 kids and at the time this video was recorded, they had recently divorced and Björn already had a new woman. Björn co-written this song and Agnetha feels every single word she's singing. Just a masterpiece
Watching Derek Reacting to this vid made me click in, for the 1st time, to something. After the B & W photos we see Agnetha's face as the vocals start but it is only AFTER the 1st line that we see the visuals catch up to the the vocals. "I don't want to talk"....We see that and THEN we see her sing. Like the words are being forced out of her against her will. Compare this to the last verse, after we have been carried along by the story, when this line is repeated and we actually see her sing the words "I don't want to talk"...as if, once she has begun to tell her story, she MUST finish no matter what the cost. Such a simple device, brilliantly portrayed on screen by Agnetha to her sublime vocal. A modern classic.
Best lyrics ever written and sung by the voice of an angel and makes you feel her pain just listening Simply incredible this song is historic and absolutely sounds as fresh as it did back then magical
One of the most beautiful women in music history with a voice to match. Really hard to choose between her and ONJ. Decisions decisions lol. Like a person could go wrong with either one
ABBA fan 4ever! I have listened to their music since I was about 10, I am now 58. Its such a shame they were so underrated here in the US. Yeah, Dancing Queen was great, but what about ALL the others? Even the B-sides were so good, They should've been chart toppers. They used varied types of vocals and instrumentation. They layered them and the way the women sang together was so unique as they blended so well. The instrumentation, everything from synths, strings, brass and percussion all layered together wonderfully! They could pull off pop, light rock, classical and dance uncommon among other artists. I would keep track of the top 40 and sadly see them at the end or near middle. It took Mamma Mia stage to finally recognize their brilliance.
When she’s asked she always says this is her favourite it’s said she cried when Bjorn gave her the lyrics. One of the best break up songs ever …. Period her voice has such emotion she is as many have said a music goddess
This song was real.. I don’t know how she even sang without literally weeping. Both male and female artist married each other. The traveling and concert schedule tore her and the pianist apart. And, he wrote this song. Their lives were on display for the whole world to see. They were known everywhere. They became famous in Ausrailia before they were ever famous anywhere and before they knew they were famous. They went to Australia and the mobs were at the airport. Security had to take over the roadways to get them safely to their hotel. They had put out a couple singles but they just boomed over there. They are from Sweden. I just love the the two movies from Mama Mia which was a stage production first.they made good stories from their musicals with Meryl Steep and other A list stars.
the only ABBA song i remember vividly listening to on the radio for the very first time back in summer 1980. It was played on BFBS, British Forces Radio over here in Germany. They ususally played knew music a few days before they were on regular German radio stations... I can still feel the goosebumps already at the first listen... it was so shoklingly deep and emotional after all their 1979 light hearted pop output.... the radio dj said afterwards: "how dare they. We knew they could bring us joy and happiness, but now they even make us cry"
There is no live version of this song. ABBA never performed this song live on stage. In all their performances of this song it's clear they used the studio recording and the band lip syncing.. Which is a shame because Agnetha can sing the hell out of this song.
I like to see your ABBA reactions. I would like to see how you find that : The name of the game Eagle The visitors My love my life When all is said and done
Agnetha was a huge fan of Connie Francis, who also had that cry in her voice and could sing way high. This is the best divorce/breakup song of all time.
Hi. Thank you for the reaction. To me, these ladies have always had the most beautiful voices in the world. The sound of the music has been kind of like the soundtrack of my life. I love every peace of music they ever did. I hope you continue reacting to their songs for a long time. Please react to My love, My life and When All Is Said And Done. Here are the links: my love, my life ua-cam.com/video/C7oiWbA6hDc/v-deo.html when all is said and done ua-cam.com/video/tUh4u-lYEhM/v-deo.html
Imo Abba's best song. And that is a very big list to choose from! The Day Before You Came is my fav but this is the best lol This video is sooo clever, it portrays all the emotion perfectly x
The tro of break up songs as I call them, This was written by Bjorn for Agnetha after their divorce, it's actually her favourite ABBA song,. That is why it's so emotivly sung,. When All Is Said And Done was written by Benny when he and Frida divorced and finally One Of Us, was about both break ups. These are amongst the best songs written by the boys., From the heart and from heartbreak
I can see by watching you ,watching them, that you have the very same attraction to Agnetha, over and beyond the great group and great song. She certainly was a stunning lady.How could any man let her go !!!!! This song cuts me every time and can never grow old. In my opinion, they were and still are the best. Their music will play forever around the world as long as there's a way for it to be so .
The amazing thing about this beautiful, emotive song is that you can cry your heart out and dance, while hearing it. The first impression is it is the drumbeats and up beat feel. It is danceable. But, when you hear the lyrics and her tone and intonation, it shoots straight to the heart. What a remarkable classic song. I never get tired of it. And Benny and Bjorn's pristine, layered production still shimmers with Frida's and Agnetha's impeccable harmonies and vocals. Agnetha stole the show here, with her best-ever vocal performance.
One of the greatest songs of all time- certainly the greatest pop ballad- ever! Everything is brilliant! Music, lyrics, vocals, and- AGNETHA! How can we not simply fall in love?!! Bravo!!!
The song never get's old because It's "Life" and as long as life goes on, so will this song. Agnetha is a goddess, she own's this, many have performed this song but nobody will ever get close to Agnetha.

one of the most amazing songs of all time .
Agnetha has her true soprano voice on full display on this song 🎤🥰
This is the first ABBA song I ever heard and I made me a lifelong fan.
There are few songs that are perfection, this is one.
She does absolutely everything well. She's authentic and she sings with great poise, passion and panache.
The Winner Takes It All is an incredibly deep and emotional song. It almost affects me viscerally.
The crescendo at the end is a killer.
Agnetha, looks of a goddess, voice of an angel. My favourite Abba song by some distance.
One of us too.
Great choice. I keep changing my mind about that. Today is "Knowing Me, Knowing You". But tomorrow maybe it will be another one.
Yes yes yes
And that says a lot cause i love all there songs
“And I understand you came to shake my hand” I really felt that. 😔
It's a, classic you can't write music like that anymore x
This song my god... It's a slap in my face.
She sings with so much suffering.

This song is so well written and her heartbreaking performance hits me right in the feels.
Thank you for the music, please
The best word I have found to describe Agnetha's voice is plaintive.
They're one of the best pop bands of all time, easily.
AGNETHA, MASTER OF SINGING WITH SUCH EMOTION. SOUNDS AS IF SHE IS CRYING THROUGH THE LYRICS, AND SINGS AT THE SAME TIME. JUST HAVE A GO AT HASTA MANANA AND ONE OF US 💘💘💘💘
So melancholic song from my childhood. I heard so many times on radio. And I liked it so much.
Bravisimo Bella Agnetha ❣️♥️
Two of the other best songs that Agnetha sang (in my opinion) are My Love My Life and Slipping Through My Fingers.
OMG Slipping Through My Fingers is a masterpiece.
It is so amazing, Björn writes the lyrics and his ex-wife is singing !
Her songs are evergreen, when she sings, she puts everything in it. She is my all time favourite.

maybe the best Abba track, timeless!
The music of ABBA,timeless
always cry listening to this song. Although Gimme, Gimme, Gimme is my favourite Abba song, this isn't far behind.
The lead singer has a gift of being able to tell a story through music and its very real. Very few singers can do it. Faltskog is brilliant.
Hard to believe they were actually (both couples) going through divorce as they wrote this song.
Still pulled it off amazingly
I like your comments at the end re winners and lovers. That Agnetha soared so high and was so great and so successful, that makes her a winner.
Amazing Pop Song! ABBA Never Get Old!
Thank you for your reactions to ABBA. It would be interesting to hear your reaction of "If It Wasn't For The Nights"
Best lyrics ever written and sung by the voice of an angel and makes you feel her pain just listening
Simply incredible this song is historic and absolutely sounds as fresh as it did back then magical
Llego meses atrasado, pero es reconfortante ver a alguien tan joven apreciar el trasfondo y.la calidad de una cancion que le lleva años.
One of the most beautiful women in music history with a voice to match. Really hard to choose between her and ONJ. Decisions decisions lol. Like a person could go wrong with either one

the only ABBA song i remember vividly listening to on the radio for the very first time back in summer 1980. It was played on BFBS, British Forces Radio over here in Germany. They ususally played knew music a few days before they were on regular German radio stations... I can still feel the goosebumps already at the first listen... it was so shoklingly deep and emotional after all their 1979 light hearted pop output.... the radio dj said afterwards: "how dare they. We knew they could bring us joy and happiness, but now they even make us cry"
There is no live version of this song. ABBA never performed this song live on stage. In all their performances of this song it's clear they used the studio recording and the band lip syncing.. Which is a shame because Agnetha can sing the hell out of this song.
It may have been too painful
Björn wrote it for Agnetha after splitting their marriage.......Benny always with the music.........genius!
I like to see your ABBA reactions. I would like to see how you find that :
The name of the game
Eagle
The visitors
My love my life
When all is said and done
The Visitors is an amazing track. Sadly has no video. !!!
I hope he does the full 6 min version of Eagle, not the 3 min music video.
Best their song
Agnetha was a huge fan of Connie Francis, who also had that cry in her voice and could sing way high. This is the best divorce/breakup song of all time.
Hi. Thank you for the reaction. To me, these ladies have always had the most beautiful voices in the world. The sound of the music has been kind of like the soundtrack of my life. I love every peace of music they ever did. I hope you continue reacting to their songs for a long time.
Please react to My love, My life and When All Is Said And Done.

Agree. I'm definitely in your corner here . . .
True story - true emotions.
Imo Abba's best song. And that is a very big list to choose from! The Day Before You Came is my fav but this is the best lol This video is sooo clever, it portrays all the emotion perfectly x
You rock Derek...handsome too ❤️
The tro of break up songs as I call them, This was written by Bjorn for Agnetha after their divorce, it's actually her favourite ABBA song,. That is why it's so emotivly sung,. When All Is Said And Done was written by Benny when he and Frida divorced and finally One Of Us, was about both break ups. These are amongst the best songs written by the boys., From the heart and from heartbreak
I can see by watching you ,watching them, that you have the very same attraction to Agnetha, over and beyond the great group and great song. She certainly was a stunning lady.How could any man let her go !!!!! This song cuts me every time and can never grow old. In my opinion, they were and still are the best. Their music will play forever around the world as long as there's a way for it to be so .
one of my top 5 fav ABBA songs...amazing as always...loved the way you've analyzed it.
I get goose bumps every time
The amazing thing about this beautiful, emotive song is that you can cry your heart out and dance, while hearing it. The first impression is it is the drumbeats and up beat feel. It is danceable. But, when you hear the lyrics and her tone and intonation, it shoots straight to the heart. What a remarkable classic song. I never get tired of it. And Benny and Bjorn's pristine, layered production still shimmers with Frida's and Agnetha's impeccable harmonies and vocals. Agnetha stole the show here, with her best-ever vocal performance.
I started listening to you again.
Never a poor reason to react to this one twice.
It still makes me cry 😢
Love all of ABBA's music
True Artists. One of the best emotional songs sung to up-beat music ever!
Beautifull song 😍 😍 😍
I like it . I love ABBA forever .
ABBA is the real deal.
