You’re right they are! It speaks volumes about how huge they are for only releasing music for like 7 years shows how impactful there music is I’m just late to the party! 😅 but i saw they’re coming out with a new album too so I need to get back into exploring their music!
I wish my reactors reacted to the lyrics and the singers' phrasing. It's pure genius that the song begins in mid conversation. "I don't want to talk..."' She's not talking to herself. She is talking to someone about something. And this is where Agnetha's phrasing is brilliant. She sings "I don't want to talk..." and you hear the mixture of exhaustion and exasperation. You hear the gasp and dry cry in her voice. She portrays the person who has been wrung with emotion. It is all laid bare in the first sentence. Even her accent serves as an artistic device. I agree with people who say this is a masterpiece. It is so much more than a break up song. It is a song about someone who tried to play by rules, she perhaps didn't understand or underestimated the consequences of participating in the game. The metaphors are so interesting. The songwriter uses the metaphor of playing cards in the beginning, but then relies on the game show metaphor in the end. Who is the winner in this game? The harsh gods that throw wrenches in the system? The lover who abandoned the singer? The other woman? Anyway, let us praise the skill of the musicians, the singer and the lyricist. Imagine, Agnetha sang this song without autotune. The band played real instruments. Agnetha is dressed. Her face is not marred by tons of make up and prosthetics. Everything about this performance is pitch perfect and beautiful.
That’s awesome! They really were a magnetic group shame about their relationships and them breaking up but I mean they were iconic for only being a group for 8 years or so it’s impressive!
Savy! You do this reaction in the 71th Agnetha's birthday! Great present Agnetha Fãlkstog born in Jonköping Sweden in April 5, 1950 And tomorrow was the 47th anniversary of ABBA's triumph in the famous Eurovision Song Contest with your iconic song Waterloo This magic night of April 6, 1974 in Brighton England, the rock pop music see the begining of ABBA Legend
WOW!! I had no idea I actually did this reaction Friday but between being busy during the days leading up to the weekend I didn’t get around to editing till last night, so I guess it was perfect timing after all! Haha Wow perfect timing then I did it all for Abba haha jk I really didn’t know, but I’m happy I couldn’t upload my video till now thank you for informing me more about Abba I’m here to learn as I listen as well! I just looked it up too the fact that they didn’t do music but for about 8 years together or that’s what it showed from their google lyrics history which I’m sure they did a few years together prior leading up to their debut, but that’s how you know how amazing they are too, and how wonderful their music is when people are still talking about their music today like you said legendary! 💙
In the first verse she sings, "Building me a fence"; she then drops her voice slightly and continues, "Building me a home...", for some reason that's is what always gives me a lump in my throat. ABBA were an awesome band, way better than the Beatles, and will still be listened to in one hundred years time.
i grew up with ABBA. i been a big fan whole my life. If you want to hear another epic singer, listen too - nothing compares to you from sinead o'connor
I've just watched about a dozen reaction videos to The Winner Takes it All. Your reaction absolutely nails it and captures perfectly the essence of what's going on. The soaring, hypnotizing lead vocal, the way the voices combine to draw in the listener, Agnetha's incredible double hold at the beginning of the lead out towards the end. This group were pure class. I was lucky enough to be around at the time and their power over me has not diminished. It's wonderful that younger people are being introduced to their music by these reaction videos. One interesting detail that you missed is that, towards the end, Agnetha just stands stock still on the stage, without even attempting to contribute; she clearly didn't want to be there. So heart breaking.
Thank you so much I’m happy you enjoyed my reaction! I loved hearing your comment as well I couldn’t agree more! Yes everyone that listens to them is always entranced by them, and it’s not hard to see why it’s a shame they broke up, but I wouldn’t want them all miserable together with all the divorces and break ups going on, just haply they shared their gift of music with the world for the years they were together! Yeah you’re right I did catch it I just didn’t say anything but you’re right it was obvious she didn’t want to be there, and it is heart breaking!
A lot of people get the impression that Agnetha was like the lead singer in Abba. She sang lead on many of Abbas most known songs, but they both had around equally many songs where they sang lead. And Frida also sings lead on many hits. Money Money Money (one of their best videos), Super Trouper, Knowing me knowing you and Fernando to name a few. Fernando was one of Abbas biggest hits, selling more than 10 million, about the same as Dancing queen. It is almost ridiculous they were written around the same time and they were disussing which one to release first. One reason Fernando sold so well could have been that it was issued just as a single and was not included on any original album. It was first recorded for Fridas swedish solo album. But then they probably realised that the song was too good to hide on a swedish solo album so Björn wrote a new english lyric and they recorded it with Abba.
They were two Swedish married couples, at the time this song was made, she was getting a divorce and was singing this beside her husband in the band....eventually both couples divorced but still played together in the band. Other couples that divorced did the same thing that made it big were in Fleetwood Mac
I know that’s what I learned after my last Abba reaction, and people were telling me a little about the song before, I don’t know how they did it, it must’ve been extremely hard to perform with each other while their personal lives were falling apart, but to be able to perform together with everything going on is so much strength! Ah yes Fleetwood Mac as well I forgot about that! Thank you for your informative comment Rene! 💙
1st time i heard ABBA i was around 10yrs old, i was at a neighbors house, and they had an LP record of this album,...i lied in front of the record player listening to it,.. been a fan ever since, great reaction vid! 😎
Wow that’s awesome you can still remember what you were doing, but music has a way of bringing out those special memories we never forget! Thank you for sharing your memory, and for watching! 💙
@@SavyReacts 4:50 you mentioned you could be totally wrong about the meaning, but i believe there is no wrong way to interpret music, it's a personal experience, it's means many different things to many different people.
Bjorn and Benny wrote it about Bjorn and Agnetha's divorce. When Bjorn showed Agnetha the song and lyrics he asked "is it too soon to do this?". She just read the lyrics, burst into tears, and said that she wanted to sing this!". I guess it was cathartic for her.
I remember watching Abba sing Waterloo at the European Song Contest I loved them,and my mother loved them which goes to show how Abba bridged the generation gap back then and even today.
Hello again, so nice to I see your second reaction to ABBA I love so much the Sweden pop group ABBA They have more than 20 worldwide hits in several countries of all continents, included Waterloo S.O.S. Mamma Mia Fernando Dancing Queen Take a chance on me Chiquitita Does your mother know The winner takes it all Super trouper "The winner takes it all" is one of their greatest hits, #1 in UK and several countries, #8 in Billboard U.S. and #1 in Adult Contemporary U.S. "The winner takes it all" have a deep lyric writen by the guitarist Björn and singing at lead vocal by his ex-wife Agnetha, that gives an emotional and powerful interpretation with her lovely voice note: Agnetha & Björn was separated at the end of 1978 (with two young children) but the legal divorce was in the middle of 1980 after this, Björn wrote this incredible lyrics (obviously included part of your own history), and give Agnetha to sing it at first She cry, but then put all your feelings and emotions and talents to this amazing performing I hope to see you in another reaction to ABBA songs I suggest you one of their most worldwide hit: "Fernando" (to listen Frida as a lead voice) Stay safe and be care And have a great week!
Hello, nice yo see you in another reaction to the Sweden pop group ABBA, the leads in 70s, the decade post BEATLES "The winner takes it all" is for me the best interpretation of a song that I heard in my life by any singer or band It is interpretation, because it is more than just singing, it is also acting and transmitting, and Agnetha does all that and on a superlative level Beyond the morbid that the story of this song produces (the lyrics written by the guitarist and sung by his ex-wife), the structure reflects a change: it is the first time that whoever has the leading voice has been alone from beginning to end, She goes one way and the choirs go the other (they do not add up, they remain in the background) and in the end She is left alone passive and exposed, while the chorus and the music finish so up That is why I feel that Agnetha does an extraordinary performance (extraordinary: out of the ordinary) Her face is always very expressive and accompanies the various tones and nuances of her majestic vocalization. (I remember her in other songs like: "I've been waiting for You" "S.O.S." "My love my life" "Thank you for the music" "Chiquitita") "The winner takes it all" is a great song, it's in my ABBA Top 5 It is the favorite of British fans, but fundamentally is the one chose by Björn (for his composition) and Agnetha (for her interpretation) And their own words is the one that is worth more I like you for a reaction to "Thank you for the music" at the end of "ABBA The Movie" ua-cam.com/video/kARg_cbPfFQ/v-deo.html My best wishes for You from Buenos Aires Argentina
Yes I’ve been meaning to do this one sooner, but it truly is an incredible song the vocals, the harmonies, the piano, the drums the way everything kind of builds up, and Agnetha’s high notes there towards the end! I knew some of the backstory behind the song, but I love the way you went into depth about it cause I haven’t heard it put like that! She definitely does a fantastic job of expressing, and how vulnerable she must’ve felt too because of everything they were going through at the time must’ve been tough! You can tell they loved doing music together, but the way things ended up happening I guess they were bound to break up eventually, it’s incredible that they did music less than 10 years together or according to their lyrics on google, and they’re one of the most talked about groups of today still that speaks volumes, but I am learning why they deserve all the love! I look forward to checking out those songs as well I know someone has been recommending Chiquita for a long time so I’ll probably check that one out this weekend! Thank you for the informative, and well thought out comment! Best wishes from Texas take care! 💙
Just think about it: at 6:37 that look her ex- husband gives her while she is singing a song he wrote about their break up.. How deep is that? Takes some character to be able to do that. And yes: they voices are so awesome together. Both sound absolutely gorgeous individually and together as they say, they make this "third voice". Frida is a mezzo-soprano, Agnetha is a soprano. Together they have a large range and they can sing pretty much anything. And the harmonies are the best I have ever heard. Fantastic. Please react to SOS. Stay safe.
I know it was all very emotional 🥺 idk how I held it together through their backstory for this song, and much less being able to perform it together, and seeing the emotion in their eyes and on their faces that’s real music, and real art! That’s what I was going to say it almost creates another voice, very well put! Oh yes their range is incredible!! I’ be sure and react to it soon thank you so much take care of yourself, and stay safe! 💙
Many people think its theire breakup the song is all about. Benny Andersson clearly stated its all fiction. If your fast enough u can see that Agnetha still got her ring on her finger. ^^
@@xxxSlavetraderxxx Yes, Benny said that. But later on Björn himself has stated that it was based on his own experience. He actually asked Agnetha, if it would be too painful for her to sing that song. They divorced in 1979. The winner takes it all was released in July 1980 as the first single from the album Super Trouper. "On this night Björn opened a bottle of Scotch whisky and drank freely during the writing process. "I was drunk" he recalled "and the whole lyric came to me in a rush of emotion in one hour". Tears flowed in the recording studio after Agnetha recorded her lead vocal. She called The Winner Takes It All "the best of all Abba songs. The lyrics are deeply personal, and the music is unsurpassed. Singing it was like acting a part. I mustn't let my feelings take over. It was quite a while afterwards before I realized that we made a small masterpiece."
if you want to hear one of the most amazing things any human being, man or woman, has hit a high note, listen to ABBA: Hole In Your Soul (Wembley Arena). I know someone who was there that night in the audience & he says Agnetha's voice started a small earthquake; it was THAT powerful. She hits a high note in that performance that really stretches the possibility of human voice. Agnetha is probably the best female vocalist of ALL TIME! It was when I heard her sing that song from Wembley Arena that I finally realized it.
WOW that sounds insane, I’ll definitely have to check that out soon! Your friend or the person you know is very lucky to have experienced that in person it sounds like! She does have out of this world vocals! Thank you for sharing! 💙
Tomislav the note you mention is an F 7. The recording equipment at the show had a 'high cut off ' that Agnetha reached and went above and was not recorded . But the audience in the front rows heard her and went crazy. That Is POWER.
It was hard to listen without tearing up I came close, but I mean to be able to do this without just completely losing her cool while going through a divorce the pain was there, but she still sang it beautifully
That song was about her break up with her husband. He's the one in the blue jacket playing the guitar. It was hard for her to sing it because obviously it was emotional. He wrote it for them as a healing process He and the piano Guy Benny wrote all their songs the girls pretty much just sung them
Hey Savy great to see your second ABBA reaction. Liked your eyes when Agnetha hits the high notes 😊 please check out "Lay all your love on me" from ABBA, which turns each dancefloor into a disco cathedral. There is no video, but you can use the audio version. Best from Hamburg
The interesting thing is that the main singer of this particular song (Agnetha) and the blond haired man (Björn) next to her with the guitar were going through a real life divorce also at the time. The men in the group actually composed and wrote the lyrics for most of the Abba songs so in this case Björn probably wrote up the lyrics that were sang by her soon to be former wife Agnetha.
Agnetha and Bjorn where married and separated soon before this song came out. Amazingly, Bjorn wrote the lyrics and Agnetha sang them, with all the heart break that would have meant. Bjorn, BTW is the guitarist and lyricist of the group. Only a couple of years later they stopped making music together, until just recently when they made a new album (Voyage) after 40 years.
I love that younger people are starting to experience "older" music. There is a TON of material out there... And for me, it smokes the bullsh*t that is produced now...
Amazing aren't they? SOS, Dancing Queen, Chiquitita, Fernando, Knowing Me Knowing You, One of Us, When All is Said and Done, etc etc... Suggestion: Try check how to adjust the song's audio level, it is a bit too loud and clipping. Maybe only pause about 4-5 times in the song. You can always watch it again afterwards to add more comments :) ABBA had some of the best song writers in Benny and Bjorn, with the exquisite vocals of Agnetha and Anni-Frid. I love both of their voices, you'll hear it as you go through their music :)
They truly are amazing plenty of great songs, not a bad one in their history from what I’ve heard! Oh geez someone was literally just complaining well a couple people about me being too loud, and the videos not being loud enough I don’t think I’ll ever get this right lmao 😅 and I have to pause that much I don’t know what reactors y’all watch, and different countries have different restrictions but I noticed if I don’t pause between every 30-35 seconds my videos tend to get blocked and I’m not a big UA-camr so they don’t overlook that my JIMI Hendrix video got blocked on Friday from me not pausing enough it’s like UA-cams system catches the song if I don’t pause about that time frame! Lol so I can try to shorten the time I talk on pauses but unfortunately I have to pause this much trust me if it was up to me I’d listen to the whole song, and then talk about it after or pause maybe like twice throughout the song lol I know I can’t wait to hear more of Fri’s vocals as well but they all sound incredible! Thank you for your comment! 💙
Thank you bill! I appreciate the kind words! 💙 I gotta pause anyways and I know where I need to pause, so I figure I might as well say what’s on my mind about the performance! I couldn’t there’s no way I’d be able to get up there and perform all while going through that no way it takes a special type of strength, and person to be able to do that!
Her voice. Her pain. In any break up i felt like yes we played all our cards. Nothing left. Singing this right next to your divorcee? She agreed. Her sadness is killing me though.
the writer of the song was Agnetha's at the time soon to be ex husband Bjorn the one on her right side, it was about their divorce no matter what some might say. note, when she sang Spectators show always staying low, Agnetha was pointing ro Anni and Benny who knew Bjorn was cheating, that is what killed ABBA.
besides the great vocals of ABBA and their great melodies, I'm noticing more and more all the awesome piano-riffs they have in almost all their songs. It really brings the song up a level or two.
Yess that’s what I meant to comment on in the video as well! I love the piano and it was amazing in this performance it truly does make a difference, especially for the emotion being portrayed in this song!
Added comment. The criticisms about pausing could be alleviated by going back a bit in the video before you restart. That way you don't miss the buildup and/or you get to hear the full vocal phrase. You can do that with the arrow buttons. Left is back, right is forwards. It's 5 seconds, and that's usually enough. If not push twice or more - each one adds or subtracts 5 seconds. I've noticed that you don't go back, but I'm easy. ;) The only other thing is that it's better, when you're watching a video with subtitles, to leave them on-screen. That way, the viewers can understand the lyrics, and you won't get people telling you that there are subtitles and you should turn them on. ;)
G’day Savy. New to your channel mate, but sure like what I’ve seen so far. Big shoutout from Australia by the way. So, it’s ABBA time eh? Well I’m down with that for sure. Love ‘em. Saw them perform live back in the 70s when they decided to make the very long trip to our shores, to do some concerts. Well mate, it was we Aussies who actually put ABBA on the worlds music map, so to speak. We Aussies went ballistic for the Swedish Supergroup. Even today the band members admit that things could’ve been sadly different for them, if their albums failed to take off here. So that’s nice that they remember. There’s a rare movie doing the rounds called, ABBA The Movie. Check it out one day. It’s a warts and all story of their time performing around OZ. I think you’ll like it.👍🇦🇺😁🤪☮️✌️
Think that Agnetas ex husband Björn on guitar has written the lyrics and that she can manage to sing it in front of him. Strong. But Björn told they are meeting now and then since they have Linda and Christian together and grandchildren and close and dear friends. One must notice that here there is no autotune and computorbettering of voices.
Your reaction is one of the best descriptions l have encountered . ''Captivating voice' 'match made in heaven' these phrases are the exact heartfelt & mindset we do feel & mean regarding Madam Agnetha & Respectful group ABBA. From Sri Lanka ( in Asia) idea we do have
Thank you so much I’m happy to hear that! 💙 I couldn’t agree more with you it’s a beautiful expression the way they create, and perform the music! I hope all is well in Sri Lanka thank you for watching, and sharing your thoughts! :)
My mother used to sit listening to this song crying after my father ran off with some young girl and never came back again. Decades later I can't listen to it without choking up.
Omg I’m so sorry to hear that that’s terrible 😢 If that’s the case though y’all were better off without him, life has a way of pushing us and giving us hard obstacles to overcome, I’m sure your mom was a better parent for you anyways a strong woman in your life as an example!
@@SavyReacts Thank you very much. Empathy is a hard thing to find nowadays. Wish I could get it out of my head but the older I get the stronger the memories come crashing in. Other song that she used to cry to was Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". If you could do a react to that someday I would consider it a special favor. If not that's OK though. Thanks for your response.
No need to thank me that should be a normal response, but I know what you mean it really is sadly, it’s not gone completely just not something you encounter everyday :/ that’s understandable it was a very painful memory for you, and those memories tend to haunt us sometimes, but I hope you have other amazing memories that you can think about, and next time the bad memories come creeping in try to replace it with a better one! ✨ I will definitely do a reaction to that song for you, thank you for recommending it to me! I’ll try to get to it this week or next weekend for sure!
Greetings from Scotland Savvy! Great talent always seems to be surrounded with great tragedy as was the case with the members of ABBA, especially the beautiful Agnetha Fältskog. It's amazing she was able to be professional and sing this song at all?Look at her eyes in the closeups. :( I was SO sad when they broke up as a group and partners. Agnetha became a recluse, bought a home on an island, then got tangled up with that weirdo stalker guy - yet more tragedy! Their music will endure forever though, all ages love this and can't help but sing along! Great reaction Savvy!
I can’t even imagine getting on the stage and singing that song going through that it had to be one of the hardest things she had to do! It’s so sad too because their voices together are just so perfect together 🥺 I noticed her eyes it was heart breaking to see that! Omg poor Agnetha she really deserved better I hope she’s found some sort of peace, and happiness by now!
@@SavyReacts I think she has Savvy, she seems to be living a more normal life these days. As a teen I had a massive crush on her! :) She's 70yo now and time is a great healer. There's a great biography, by Daniel Ward, "Agnetha Fältskog - The Girl With The Golden Hair" It's a fascinating read!
I'm so glad that you finally came up with ABBA, yes it is a sad song. And did / does help people more than you think. I'm just waiting for their new record. I've heard that there's 2 songs prepared ? The greatest Swedish export. Before IKEA and VolVo
The musical melody of the song becomes upbeat, but the vocals actually remain slow, and actually "trail" the music-as it does in many of Abba's songs. That is kind of their signature thing.
I really really want to see your reaction to their another brilliant Rock & Roll song entitled "Hole In Your Soul". I promise you, that you won't be disappointed 😁 In this one is one special surprise for you 😅 You'll be shocked when you'll realize how amazing voice Agnetha has 🥰 Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do 🤩😍
@ Savy Reacts To be clear, Angetha (the blonde singer) didn't write the song, her husband Bjorn the guy playing the guitar behind her in the purple suit wrote it *after* he left her. And then she was given the job of singing it. Her emotion, I'm sure, was real. As was her pain. Frida and Benny, the other couple in the band, were going through their own break-up and divorced later the same year.
@@larsnilsson6821 Yes. Benny was the composer and wrote a haunting melody that was the perfect vehicle for the raw lyrics Björn wrote for this song. Given that Björn had been the one to have started a new relationship at the time, my heart goes out to Angetha and the pain she would have felt having to bear her soul so publicly at such a time.
Most of my friends (guys) will never admit they are ABBA fans in the seventies those same guys....those who are still alive...admit they always liked them.....back in the day it wasn’t viewed as macho.......ABBA simply are and is the greatest group....they are viewed better than the Beatles in sales sold throughout their career....and ABBA is still going strong.....this song isn’t about her breakup....or the groups breakup in the 80’s.......Ken
HELLOWEEN! The first time I heard of this song was in February of last year when I was in a band called My Little Ponies in New Mexico. It sounded like a great tune and I was like oh my lord I love it
I'll let others comment on ABBA. Another song from another artist back during this era that evokes emotions on a similar theme is Meat Loaf - Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad. Suggest you add to your playlist and react to in the near future. Enjoy!!
Savy Trust me yes the songs below listed are classic Abba but forget them for now and Please react to the song called " EAGLE " 🦅 " By Abba for me its theyre best song and they a collection that will blow you away 💚💚💚
Small note....she could not sing this song when she was first handed the lyrics. It just hurt so much for her. She obviously did sing it...but she looked at her partner at the time and she just wanted to cry. That would have been tough to do. Sing a song that your soon to be ex wrote about your love and relationship. Amazing.
Great reaction. Please do us a favour and do abit of research about the song. Who wrote it, what song is about. Many reaction videos about this song and they all have no clue the history of the song.
Hello Savy !!! Abba Has Some Amazing Music this is by Far one of My Favorite songs by Them. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Here Are 2 more songs you might Enjoy ( I Had A Dream ) ( S. O.S. ) 😄😄😄😄 Still Subscribed, like button Illuminated Note. They Have A Movie As well called ( Mama- Mia ) 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 The Song of the Day Just for you However is by the Little River Band ( Lonesome Looser )
Hey James! How are you?) I can definitely see why, I’m just getting more and more blown away by them they’re incredible! Thank you so much for sharing the songs! Oh yes I saw mama Mia a little bit when I was younger but tbh I don’t even remember the movie except the mama Mia song 😂 thank you so much for the share I’m going to listen right now! 💙
@@SavyReacts Thank you for Asking ! Every Day I Get up Breathing is A Fine Day and I Am still kicking !!! As I Have said My Knowledge of Music is pretty extensive More to follow if you are Enjoying It ? 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
@@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297 that’s what I love to hear very positive thinking!! 😀😀😀😀 I loved the song you suggested little river band by lonesome loser! That 70’s sound is just so perfect I loved his vocals too and the harmonies so beautiful, and the band playing giving that perfect 70’s rock! Do they have a good music history or they just have a couple of good songs?
Hi Savy, great reaction and an exceptionally well written description. If you are a real AꓭBA fan then you have to listen to one of their two newly released recordings today, my favorite, which sounds suspiciously like a follow up to this song is called "Don't Shut me Down"; if you look at the Vevo version you'll get the lyrics too...have a great day, all the best
Thank you so much rokmin for the kind words! Thank you for sharing I’m gonna write it down, and save it for a reaction very soon! Probably sometime next week! I haven’t made a video in awhile but I’m ready to jump back into UA-cam again, thank you so much! I hope you have a great day as well; and wish you all the best! 💙
@@SavyReacts Thanks so much Savy, a real pleasure to hear from you, I work in IT by day and sometimes DJ on weekends and I'm going to introduce it this weekend. When you do your reaction I'm going to announce to people to give you a listen!
Anyone who has gone tgrough a divorce and you the loser will cry n cry listening to this song. Especially if he ir she walked out of your life n into someone elses . You would see that other party as the winner..its raw pain....
I just stumbled upon your page today, but was very entertained by your reaction to The winner takes It All. I don't know that I can add much to what has already been said in the other comments, except to maybe add a couple more suggestions for future reactions. In addition to the ones listed below, you might also try "my love my life" and "I've been waiting for you". Also, I'm not sure I saw it anywhere else, but in addition to the fact that this song was written about their breakup, it was also written by her ex-husband Bjorn for her to sing. some people viewed that as being rather callous, but in fact she always saw it as being rather cathartic and she said in later years that looking back it was her favorite of all their hits.
Aww I’m happy to hear you enjoyed my reaction, because I enjoyed the song a lot! Thank you for watching! 💙 oh yes I’m looking forward to checking those out soon thank you for the recommendations! I did know that people had been telling me on my last video I did by them, but I appreciate you filling me in anyways! She’s truly a wonderful person I believe, she seems like one anyway, and that says a lot to me of it being her favorite out of all their hits, and from what I’ve heard they had a lot! Haha thank you for the informative comment!
@@SavyReacts Another recommendation is to check out the album, "A", which she released in 2013. It was her first release of original material since 1987 (She had a release in 2004 called My Coloring Book, which consisted of cover versions of some of her favorite songs from the '60s). I've included the link to the official video release from the album "A" below. ua-cam.com/video/w95WdpE6QAI/v-deo.html
You do understand that I can’t save my pausing for the end right? If I don’t pause every 30-35 seconds my videos tend to either get blocked or partially blocked, I’ve just made a post showing proof on my channel recently from not pausing, and if my videos get blocked that becomes a waste of my time, and my editing, and my reaction, and the even bigger waste is that nobody gets to see it, it’s really frustrating as a reactor to get comments like this when y’all don’t react so you guys don’t know what we go through, and y’all think we’re pausing for no reason, when in reality we’re pausing to get the people that actually enjoy our videos to be seen, and every country has different guidelines, and restrictions about reacting just to give you some info that you didn’t know not trying to be rude, but it’s not my fault I have to pause so I wish y’all would quit blaming reactors for doing what we have to do
The best abba songs yesterday today and tomorrow and ever....i was born in 1972...
The way she sings “you’ve come to shake my hand” kills me evert times.
Omg I know that raw emotion is so heart breaking!
Yes!!!!
That's the one line that tears out my heart every time.
Lady, Abba is HUGE!
You’re right they are! It speaks volumes about how huge they are for only releasing music for like 7 years shows how impactful there music is I’m just late to the party! 😅 but i saw they’re coming out with a new album too so I need to get back into exploring their music!
I wish my reactors reacted to the lyrics and the singers' phrasing. It's pure genius that the song begins in mid conversation. "I don't want to talk..."' She's not talking to herself. She is talking to someone about something. And this is where Agnetha's phrasing is brilliant. She sings "I don't want to talk..." and you hear the mixture of exhaustion and exasperation. You hear the gasp and dry cry in her voice. She portrays the person who has been wrung with emotion. It is all laid bare in the first sentence. Even her accent serves as an artistic device. I agree with people who say this is a masterpiece. It is so much more than a break up song. It is a song about someone who tried to play by rules, she perhaps didn't understand or underestimated the consequences of participating in the game. The metaphors are so interesting. The songwriter uses the metaphor of playing cards in the beginning, but then relies on the game show metaphor in the end. Who is the winner in this game? The harsh gods that throw wrenches in the system? The lover who abandoned the singer? The other woman? Anyway, let us praise the skill of the musicians, the singer and the lyricist. Imagine, Agnetha sang this song without autotune. The band played real instruments. Agnetha is dressed. Her face is not marred by tons of make up and prosthetics. Everything about this performance is pitch perfect and beautiful.
Absolutely 👍👍👍
Exactly -- you nailed it.
Finally a reaction video with genuine reaction in it.
This song can shread your heart.
Agnetha has one of the best voices in music! ♥
I am definitely learning that within each song I love her vocals even more, and look forward to checking out more of their music!
@@SavyReacts Better than Karen C. and Celine D.
The way agnetha and frida harmonise together is unreal 🙌🏽
Such a blessing to hear it really is they have perfect harmonies!
ABBA MUSIC FOREVER !!!
PURE BEAUTY , INSPIRATION , TALENT AND ABSOLUTE PERFECTION IN THE WORLD POP MUSIC FOREVER .
Agnetha ,had one of the most powerful Soprano voices with a B2 - F7 range .and no Auto tune...take that Adel
I grew up with them . Abba is and was The Only band that can make you dance with tears in your eyes
That’s awesome! They really were a magnetic group shame about their relationships and them breaking up but I mean they were iconic for only being a group for 8 years or so it’s impressive!
Savy!
You do this reaction in the 71th Agnetha's birthday! Great present
Agnetha Fãlkstog born in Jonköping Sweden in April 5, 1950
And tomorrow was the 47th anniversary of ABBA's triumph in the famous Eurovision Song Contest with your iconic song Waterloo
This magic night of April 6, 1974 in Brighton England, the rock pop music see the begining of ABBA Legend
WOW!! I had no idea I actually did this reaction Friday but between being busy during the days leading up to the weekend I didn’t get around to editing till last night, so I guess it was perfect timing after all! Haha
Wow perfect timing then I did it all for Abba haha jk I really didn’t know, but I’m happy I couldn’t upload my video till now thank you for informing me more about Abba I’m here to learn as I listen as well!
I just looked it up too the fact that they didn’t do music but for about 8 years together or that’s what it showed from their google lyrics history which I’m sure they did a few years together prior leading up to their debut, but that’s how you know how amazing they are too, and how wonderful their music is when people are still talking about their music today like you said legendary! 💙
Happy Birthday to the wonderful Agnetha!
Yes indeed I hope she’s out here loving her best life she deserves it! 💙
More ABBA! Great Reaction!❤
Mamma mia quanto sei Bella 🤩
The .most beautiful woman, I have ever had the pleasure.o of seeing.
In the first verse she sings, "Building me a fence"; she then drops her voice slightly and continues, "Building me a home...", for some reason that's is what always gives me a lump in my throat.
ABBA were an awesome band, way better than the Beatles, and will still be listened to in one hundred years time.
ABBA
Why Did it Have to be Me. Live Montreal 1977 Australia tour
This song is an emotional flaying.
i grew up with ABBA. i been a big fan whole my life.
If you want to hear another epic singer, listen too - nothing compares to you from sinead o'connor
I've just watched about a dozen reaction videos to The Winner Takes it All. Your reaction absolutely nails it and captures perfectly the essence of what's going on. The soaring, hypnotizing lead vocal, the way the voices combine to draw in the listener, Agnetha's incredible double hold at the beginning of the lead out towards the end.
This group were pure class. I was lucky enough to be around at the time and their power over me has not diminished. It's wonderful that younger people are being introduced to their music by these reaction videos.
One interesting detail that you missed is that, towards the end, Agnetha just stands stock still on the stage, without even attempting to contribute; she clearly didn't want to be there. So heart breaking.
Thank you so much I’m happy you enjoyed my reaction! I loved hearing your comment as well I couldn’t agree more! Yes everyone that listens to them is always entranced by them, and it’s not hard to see why it’s a shame they broke up, but I wouldn’t want them all miserable together with all the divorces and break ups going on, just haply they shared their gift of music with the world for the years they were together! Yeah you’re right I did catch it I just didn’t say anything but you’re right it was obvious she didn’t want to be there, and it is heart breaking!
I feel the same, Savy has the best reaction. Would love to see her react to more Abba songs.
i agree fully, the others just bob around not really taking much note just making silly faces and pretending
A lot of people get the impression that Agnetha was like the lead singer in Abba. She sang lead on many of Abbas most known songs, but they both had around equally many songs where they sang lead.
And Frida also sings lead on many hits. Money Money Money (one of their best videos), Super Trouper, Knowing me knowing you and Fernando to name a few.
Fernando was one of Abbas biggest hits, selling more than 10 million, about the same as Dancing queen.
It is almost ridiculous they were written around the same time and they were disussing which one to release first.
One reason Fernando sold so well could have been that it was issued just as a single and was not included on any original album.
It was first recorded for Fridas swedish solo album. But then they probably realised that the song was too good to hide on a swedish solo album so Björn wrote a new english lyric and they recorded it with Abba.
Next to the Beatles, ABBA is the biggest group ever.
I still have faith in you by abba after 40 yesrs
They were two Swedish married couples, at the time this song was made, she was getting a divorce and was singing this beside her husband in the band....eventually both couples divorced but still played together in the band. Other couples that divorced did the same thing that made it big were in Fleetwood Mac
I know that’s what I learned after my last Abba reaction, and people were telling me a little about the song before, I don’t know how they did it, it must’ve been extremely hard to perform with each other while their personal lives were falling apart, but to be able to perform together with everything going on is so much strength! Ah yes Fleetwood Mac as well I forgot about that! Thank you for your informative comment Rene! 💙
Freida is Norwegian
In the same vein, "Chiquitita" was written about their explaining the divorce to their daughter.
My favourite song ever ❤️
Singing about her own experience. Husband was one of the male members in the band
1st time i heard ABBA i was around 10yrs old, i was at a neighbors house, and they had an LP record of this album,...i lied in front of the record player listening to it,.. been a fan ever since, great reaction vid! 😎
Wow that’s awesome you can still remember what you were doing, but music has a way of bringing out those special memories we never forget! Thank you for sharing your memory, and for watching! 💙
@@SavyReacts 4:50 you mentioned you could be totally wrong about the meaning, but i believe there is no wrong way to interpret music, it's a personal experience, it's means many different things to many different people.
Bjorn and Benny wrote it about Bjorn and Agnetha's divorce. When Bjorn showed Agnetha the song and lyrics he asked "is it too soon to do this?". She just read the lyrics, burst into tears, and said that she wanted to sing this!". I guess it was cathartic for her.
Powerful song effects me like it is new every time i hear it amazing! Great review!
I remember watching Abba sing Waterloo at the European Song Contest I loved them,and my mother loved them which goes to show how Abba bridged the generation gap back then and even today.
Hello again, so nice to I see your second reaction to ABBA
I love so much the Sweden pop group ABBA
They have more than 20 worldwide hits in several countries of all continents, included
Waterloo
S.O.S.
Mamma Mia
Fernando
Dancing Queen
Take a chance on me
Chiquitita
Does your mother know
The winner takes it all
Super trouper
"The winner takes it all" is one of their greatest hits, #1 in UK and several countries, #8 in Billboard U.S. and #1 in Adult Contemporary U.S.
"The winner takes it all" have a deep lyric writen by the guitarist Björn and singing at lead vocal by his ex-wife Agnetha, that gives an emotional and powerful interpretation with her lovely voice
note: Agnetha & Björn was separated at the end of 1978 (with two young children) but the legal divorce was in the middle of 1980
after this, Björn wrote this incredible lyrics
(obviously included part of your own history),
and give Agnetha to sing it
at first She cry, but then put all your feelings and emotions and talents to this amazing performing
I hope to see you in another reaction to ABBA songs
I suggest you one of their most worldwide hit:
"Fernando"
(to listen Frida as a lead voice)
Stay safe and be care
And have a great week!
If you like Agnetha's voice, try "my love, my life" from ABBA in 1976.
Embodiment of purity.
Agnetha is a amazing voice talented
Still selling 2 millions records every year. Amazing 🎶 ❤️
Wow that is such an achievement, but very well deserved! 💙✨
Beautiful inside and out. I love ABBA!!!! They all blend together so well. So sad they couldn't remain in love.
"Spectators of the show, always stay in love!"
best group ever
Oh man that’s an epic voice babe! ❤️ looking so stunning my love I loved the reaction and can’t wait for the next video! 😘❤️
Oh yes it is cutie! ❤️ thank you babe you know me it’ll be today 😜❤️😘
ABBA music was amazing when they were performing and still is today. Agnetha is beautiful.
She's a shining star, as you. Thanks for a beautiful reaction to a beautiful song ❤️
Hello, nice yo see you in another reaction to the Sweden pop group ABBA, the leads in 70s, the decade post BEATLES
"The winner takes it all" is for me the best interpretation of a song that I heard in my life by any singer or band
It is interpretation, because it is more than just singing, it is also acting and transmitting, and Agnetha does all that and on a superlative level
Beyond the morbid that the story of this song produces (the lyrics written by the guitarist and sung by his ex-wife), the structure reflects a change: it is the first time that whoever has the leading voice has been alone from beginning to end,
She goes one way and the choirs go the other (they do not add up, they remain in the background)
and in the end She is left alone passive and exposed, while the chorus and the music finish so up
That is why I feel that Agnetha does an extraordinary performance (extraordinary: out of the ordinary)
Her face is always very expressive and accompanies the various tones and nuances of her majestic vocalization.
(I remember her in other songs like:
"I've been waiting for You"
"S.O.S."
"My love my life"
"Thank you for the music"
"Chiquitita")
"The winner takes it all" is a great song, it's in my ABBA Top 5
It is the favorite of British fans,
but fundamentally is the one chose
by Björn (for his composition)
and Agnetha (for her interpretation)
And their own words is the one that is worth more
I like you for a reaction to
"Thank you for the music"
at the end of "ABBA The Movie"
ua-cam.com/video/kARg_cbPfFQ/v-deo.html
My best wishes for You
from Buenos Aires Argentina
Yes I’ve been meaning to do this one sooner, but it truly is an incredible song the vocals, the harmonies, the piano, the drums the way everything kind of builds up, and Agnetha’s high notes there towards the end!
I knew some of the backstory behind the song, but I love the way you went into depth about it cause I haven’t heard it put like that! She definitely does a fantastic job of expressing, and how vulnerable she must’ve felt too because of everything they were going through at the time must’ve been tough! You can tell they loved doing music together, but the way things ended up happening I guess they were bound to break up eventually, it’s incredible that they did music less than 10 years together or according to their lyrics on google, and they’re one of the most talked about groups of today still that speaks volumes, but I am learning why they deserve all the love! I look forward to checking out those songs as well I know someone has been recommending Chiquita for a long time so I’ll probably check that one out this weekend! Thank you for the informative, and well thought out comment!
Best wishes from Texas take care! 💙
Wow, that was an excellent insight into the song. Loved it. Thank you for sharing it.
Just think about it: at 6:37 that look her ex- husband gives her while she is singing a song he wrote about their break up.. How deep is that? Takes some character to be able to do that.
And yes: they voices are so awesome together. Both sound absolutely gorgeous individually and together as they say, they make this "third voice". Frida is a mezzo-soprano, Agnetha is a soprano. Together they have a large range and they can sing pretty much anything. And the harmonies are the best I have ever heard. Fantastic.
Please react to SOS. Stay safe.
I know it was all very emotional 🥺 idk how I held it together through their backstory for this song, and much less being able to perform it together, and seeing the emotion in their eyes and on their faces that’s real music, and real art! That’s what I was going to say it almost creates another voice, very well put! Oh yes their range is incredible!! I’ be sure and react to it soon thank you so much take care of yourself, and stay safe! 💙
Many people think its theire breakup the song is all about. Benny Andersson clearly stated its all fiction.
If your fast enough u can see that Agnetha still got her ring on her finger. ^^
@@xxxSlavetraderxxx Yes, Benny said that. But later on Björn himself has stated that it was based on his own experience. He actually asked Agnetha, if it would be too painful for her to sing that song. They divorced in 1979. The winner takes it all was released in July 1980 as the first single from the album Super Trouper.
"On this night Björn opened a bottle of Scotch whisky and drank freely during the writing process. "I was drunk" he recalled "and the whole lyric came to me in a rush of emotion in one hour". Tears flowed in the recording studio after Agnetha recorded her lead vocal. She called The Winner Takes It All "the best of all Abba songs. The lyrics are deeply personal, and the music is unsurpassed. Singing it was like acting a part. I mustn't let my feelings take over. It was quite a while afterwards before I realized that we made a small masterpiece."
if you want to hear one of the most amazing things any human being, man or woman, has hit a high note, listen to ABBA: Hole In Your Soul (Wembley Arena). I know someone who was there that night in the audience & he says Agnetha's voice started a small earthquake; it was THAT powerful. She hits a high note in that performance that really stretches the possibility of human voice. Agnetha is probably the best female vocalist of ALL TIME! It was when I heard her sing that song from Wembley Arena that I finally realized it.
WOW that sounds insane, I’ll definitely have to check that out soon! Your friend or the person you know is very lucky to have experienced that in person it sounds like! She does have out of this world vocals! Thank you for sharing! 💙
Tomislav the note you mention is an F 7. The recording equipment at the show had a 'high cut off ' that Agnetha reached and went above and was not recorded . But the audience in the front rows heard her and went crazy. That Is POWER.
I saw that shatter inside you that we all feel, "...but you see", 😯😭😍
I can't listen to that last verse without shedding a tear.
It was hard to listen without tearing up I came close, but I mean to be able to do this without just completely losing her cool while going through a divorce the pain was there, but she still sang it beautifully
That song was about her break up with her husband. He's the one in the blue jacket playing the guitar. It was hard for her to sing it because obviously it was emotional. He wrote it for them as a healing process
He and the piano Guy Benny wrote all their songs the girls pretty much just sung them
Hey Savy great to see your second ABBA reaction. Liked your eyes when Agnetha hits the high notes 😊 please check out "Lay all your love on me" from ABBA, which turns each dancefloor into a disco cathedral. There is no video, but you can use the audio version. Best from Hamburg
The interesting thing is that the main singer of this particular song (Agnetha) and the blond haired man (Björn) next to her with the guitar were going through a real life divorce also at the time. The men in the group actually composed and wrote the lyrics for most of the Abba songs so in this case Björn probably wrote up the lyrics that were sang by her soon to be former wife Agnetha.
Agnetha and Bjorn where married and separated soon before this song came out. Amazingly, Bjorn wrote the lyrics and Agnetha sang them, with all the heart break that would have meant. Bjorn, BTW is the guitarist and lyricist of the group. Only a couple of years later they stopped making music together, until just recently when they made a new album (Voyage) after 40 years.
If you haven't heard the song Eagle yet, I suggest you react to that song. Those harmonies are amazing.
I love that younger people are starting to experience "older" music. There is a TON of material out there... And for me, it smokes the bullsh*t that is produced now...
Amazing aren't they? SOS, Dancing Queen, Chiquitita, Fernando, Knowing Me Knowing You, One of Us, When All is Said and Done, etc etc... Suggestion: Try check how to adjust the song's audio level, it is a bit too loud and clipping. Maybe only pause about 4-5 times in the song. You can always watch it again afterwards to add more comments :) ABBA had some of the best song writers in Benny and Bjorn, with the exquisite vocals of Agnetha and Anni-Frid. I love both of their voices, you'll hear it as you go through their music :)
They truly are amazing plenty of great songs, not a bad one in their history from what I’ve heard! Oh geez someone was literally just complaining well a couple people about me being too loud, and the videos not being loud enough I don’t think I’ll ever get this right lmao 😅 and I have to pause that much I don’t know what reactors y’all watch, and different countries have different restrictions but I noticed if I don’t pause between every 30-35 seconds my videos tend to get blocked and I’m not a big UA-camr so they don’t overlook that my JIMI Hendrix video got blocked on Friday from me not pausing enough it’s like UA-cams system catches the song if I don’t pause about that time frame! Lol so I can try to shorten the time I talk on pauses but unfortunately I have to pause this much trust me if it was up to me I’d listen to the whole song, and then talk about it after or pause maybe like twice throughout the song lol I know I can’t wait to hear more of Fri’s vocals as well but they all sound incredible! Thank you for your comment! 💙
The many interruptions were offset by the excellent comments.
Can you imagine the emotion it took to sing about her own divorce?
Thank you bill! I appreciate the kind words! 💙 I gotta pause anyways and I know where I need to pause, so I figure I might as well say what’s on my mind about the performance! I couldn’t there’s no way I’d be able to get up there and perform all while going through that no way it takes a special type of strength, and person to be able to do that!
You will do well!
Her voice. Her pain. In any break up i felt like yes we played all our cards. Nothing left. Singing this right next to your divorcee? She agreed. Her sadness is killing me though.
My personal fav is Abba Chiquitita live...Amazing...
the writer of the song was Agnetha's at the time soon to be ex husband Bjorn the one on her right side, it was about their divorce no matter what some might say. note, when she sang Spectators show always staying low, Agnetha was pointing ro Anni and Benny who knew Bjorn was cheating, that is what killed ABBA.
I'm sure you will love many other songs and especially Agnetha in "Thank you for the music".
The song is Beautiful,and so are you
besides the great vocals of ABBA and their great melodies, I'm noticing more and more all the awesome piano-riffs they have in almost all their songs. It really brings the song up a level or two.
Yess that’s what I meant to comment on in the video as well! I love the piano and it was amazing in this performance it truly does make a difference, especially for the emotion being portrayed in this song!
Benny is the Schubert of the 20th Century.
@@jans724 He sure is a musical genius
Added comment. The criticisms about pausing could be alleviated by going back a bit in the video before you restart. That way you don't miss the buildup and/or you get to hear the full vocal phrase. You can do that with the arrow buttons. Left is back, right is forwards. It's 5 seconds, and that's usually enough. If not push twice or more - each one adds or subtracts 5 seconds. I've noticed that you don't go back, but I'm easy. ;)
The only other thing is that it's better, when you're watching a video with subtitles, to leave them on-screen. That way, the viewers can understand the lyrics, and you won't get people telling you that there are subtitles and you should turn them on. ;)
G’day Savy. New to your channel mate, but sure like what I’ve seen so far. Big shoutout from Australia by the way. So, it’s ABBA time eh? Well I’m down with that for sure. Love ‘em. Saw them perform live back in the 70s when they decided to make the very long trip to our shores, to do some concerts. Well mate, it was we Aussies who actually put ABBA on the worlds music map, so to speak. We Aussies went ballistic for the Swedish Supergroup. Even today the band members admit that things could’ve been sadly different for them, if their albums failed to take off here. So that’s nice that they remember. There’s a rare movie doing the rounds called, ABBA The Movie. Check it out one day. It’s a warts and all story of their time performing around OZ. I think you’ll like it.👍🇦🇺😁🤪☮️✌️
Can't even imagine going through a break up, as they were doing, and getting up and performing this song. You did good, as always.
Seriously though that’s a whole different kind of strength I can’t even imagine either! Thank you so much! 💙
Swedish Viking here. Great reaction video, Savy! One of my favorite songs....
Wow so cool! Thank you so much! 💙 it’s a beautiful song, heartbreaking too, but beautiful nonetheless!
You are so beautiful. I love you ;-)@@SavyReacts
ABBA - Knowing me knowing you - Mamma Mia - SOS - Waterloo - Fernando - Chiquitita - Does your Mother know - Angel Eyes
Think that Agnetas ex husband Björn on guitar has written the lyrics and that she can manage to sing it in front of him. Strong. But Björn told they are meeting now and then since they have Linda and Christian together and grandchildren and close and dear friends. One must notice that here there is no autotune and computorbettering of voices.
Your reaction is one of the best descriptions l have encountered .
''Captivating voice'
'match made in heaven'
these phrases are the exact heartfelt & mindset we do feel & mean regarding Madam Agnetha & Respectful group ABBA.
From Sri Lanka ( in Asia)
idea we do have
Thank you so much I’m happy to hear that! 💙 I couldn’t agree more with you it’s a beautiful expression the way they create, and perform the music! I hope all is well in Sri Lanka thank you for watching, and sharing your thoughts! :)
👍
Definitely check out “One of Us” - ABBA
My mother used to sit listening to this song crying after my father ran off with some young girl and never came back again. Decades later I can't listen to it without choking up.
Omg I’m so sorry to hear that that’s terrible 😢 If that’s the case though y’all were better off without him, life has a way of pushing us and giving us hard obstacles to overcome, I’m sure your mom was a better parent for you anyways a strong woman in your life as an example!
@@SavyReacts Thank you very much. Empathy is a hard thing to find nowadays. Wish I could get it out of my head but the older I get the stronger the memories come crashing in. Other song that she used to cry to was Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". If you could do a react to that someday I would consider it a special favor. If not that's OK though. Thanks for your response.
No need to thank me that should be a normal response, but I know what you mean it really is sadly, it’s not gone completely just not something you encounter everyday :/ that’s understandable it was a very painful memory for you, and those memories tend to haunt us sometimes, but I hope you have other amazing memories that you can think about, and next time the bad memories come creeping in try to replace it with a better one! ✨ I will definitely do a reaction to that song for you, thank you for recommending it to me! I’ll try to get to it this week or next weekend for sure!
@@SavyReacts Thank you very much. These songs are not just "songs" for me. 😢❤
You should listen to song on new album song I can be that woman now

Great reaction
Thank you so much Patrik! 💙
Greetings from Scotland Savvy! Great talent always seems to be surrounded with great tragedy as was the case with the members of ABBA, especially the beautiful Agnetha Fältskog. It's amazing she was able to be professional and sing this song at all?Look at her eyes in the closeups. :( I was SO sad when they broke up as a group and partners. Agnetha became a recluse, bought a home on an island, then got tangled up with that weirdo stalker guy - yet more tragedy! Their music will endure forever though, all ages love this and can't help but sing along! Great reaction Savvy!
I can’t even imagine getting on the stage and singing that song going through that it had to be one of the hardest things she had to do! It’s so sad too because their voices together are just so perfect together 🥺 I noticed her eyes it was heart breaking to see that! Omg poor Agnetha she really deserved better I hope she’s found some sort of peace, and happiness by now!
@@SavyReacts I think she has Savvy, she seems to be living a more normal life these days. As a teen I had a massive crush on her! :) She's 70yo now and time is a great healer. There's a great biography, by Daniel Ward, "Agnetha Fältskog - The Girl With The Golden Hair" It's a fascinating read!
its called the third voice
I'm so glad that you finally came up with ABBA, yes it is a sad song. And did / does help people more than you think. I'm just waiting for their new record. I've heard that there's 2 songs prepared ? The greatest Swedish export. Before IKEA and VolVo
Last I heard, it was 5 songs. I CANNOT WAIT! ❤️
The musical melody of the song becomes upbeat, but the vocals actually remain slow, and actually "trail" the music-as it does in many of Abba's songs. That is kind of their signature thing.
I really really want to see your reaction to their another brilliant Rock & Roll song entitled "Hole In Your Soul". I promise you, that you won't be disappointed 😁 In this one is one special surprise for you 😅 You'll be shocked when you'll realize how amazing voice Agnetha has 🥰 Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do 🤩😍
You look so beautiful! I fell in love with you a little bit ;)
It is for u ladies and just be careful and aware
@
Savy Reacts To be clear, Angetha (the blonde singer) didn't write the song, her husband Bjorn the guy playing the guitar behind her in the purple suit wrote it *after* he left her. And then she was given the job of singing it. Her emotion, I'm sure, was real. As was her pain. Frida and Benny, the other couple in the band, were going through their own break-up and divorced later the same year.
You forget to mention Benny Andersson ,he made the music and Björn wrote the lyrics
@@larsnilsson6821 Yes. Benny was the composer and wrote a haunting melody that was the perfect vehicle for the raw lyrics Björn wrote for this song. Given that Björn had been the one to have started a new relationship at the time, my heart goes out to Angetha and the pain she would have felt having to bear her soul so publicly at such a time.
It was actually her ex-husband the guitar player who wrote the song. He wrote what he thought she felt.
Most of my friends (guys) will never admit they are ABBA fans in the seventies those same guys....those who are still alive...admit they always liked them.....back in the day it wasn’t viewed as macho.......ABBA simply are and is the greatest group....they are viewed better than the Beatles in sales sold throughout their career....and ABBA is still going strong.....this song isn’t about her breakup....or the groups breakup in the 80’s.......Ken
Actually Bjorn finally admitted it was about their breakup. We all knew it and decades later he finally came clean.
HELLOWEEN! The first time I heard of this song was in February of last year when I was in a band called My Little Ponies in New Mexico. It sounded like a great tune and I was like oh my lord I love it
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💙💙💙💙💙⭐️✨
More 70s and 80s please
If you want a group of 4 people's voices who blend, you also need to check out the Mamas and the Papas
I’ve never heard of them so I’ll definitely be checking them out on my channel thank you so much for the recommendation! ✨
They’re good, but they’re not even close to AꓭBA.
It's incredible that when this song was released she didn't speak English.
Other - contemporary - female singers from Scandinavia worth listening to, are Angelina Jordan, Eivør and Aurora
I'll let others comment on ABBA. Another song from another artist back during this era that evokes emotions on a similar theme is Meat Loaf - Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad. Suggest you add to your playlist and react to in the near future. Enjoy!!
Savy Trust me yes the songs below listed are classic Abba but forget them for now and Please react to the song called " EAGLE " 🦅 " By Abba for me its theyre best song and they a collection that will blow you away 💚💚💚
ABBA ,,,
Small note....she could not sing this song when she was first handed the lyrics. It just hurt so much for her. She obviously did sing it...but she looked at her partner at the time and she just wanted to cry. That would have been tough to do. Sing a song that your soon to be ex wrote about your love and relationship. Amazing.
Great reaction. Please do us a favour and do abit of research about the song. Who wrote it, what song is about. Many reaction videos about this song and they all have no clue the history of the song.

Every Day I Get up Breathing is A Fine Day and I Am still kicking !!! As I Have said My Knowledge of Music is pretty extensive More to follow if you are Enjoying It ? 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
@@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297 that’s what I love to hear very positive thinking!! 😀😀😀😀 I loved the song you suggested little river band by lonesome loser! That 70’s sound is just so perfect I loved his vocals too and the harmonies so beautiful, and the band playing giving that perfect 70’s rock! Do they have a good music history or they just have a couple of good songs?
@@SavyReacts Savy ! My Friend here Are Just A couple of their songs for you to enjoy !!!
1) Cool Change
2) Lady
3) Reminiscing
She didn’t write the song, her ex husband did(Bjorn).
Hi Savy, great reaction and an exceptionally well written description. If you are a real AꓭBA fan then you have to listen to one of their two newly released recordings today, my favorite, which sounds suspiciously like a follow up to this song is called "Don't Shut me Down"; if you look at the Vevo version you'll get the lyrics too...have a great day, all the best
Thank you so much rokmin for the kind words! Thank you for sharing I’m gonna write it down, and save it for a reaction very soon! Probably sometime next week! I haven’t made a video in awhile but I’m ready to jump back into UA-cam again, thank you so much! I hope you have a great day as well; and wish you all the best! 💙
@@SavyReacts Thanks so much Savy, a real pleasure to hear from you, I work in IT by day and sometimes DJ on weekends and I'm going to introduce it this weekend. When you do your reaction I'm going to announce to people to give you a listen!
Beautiful! Please tell me you have reacted to - One of Us!..... & Knowing me, Knowing you! And finally my absolute favorite: Chiquitita
Anyone who has gone tgrough a divorce and you the loser will cry n cry listening to this song. Especially if he ir she walked out of your life n into someone elses . You would see that other party as the winner..its raw pain....
I just stumbled upon your page today, but was very entertained by your reaction to The winner takes It All. I don't know that I can add much to what has already been said in the other comments, except to maybe add a couple more suggestions for future reactions. In addition to the ones listed below, you might also try "my love my life" and "I've been waiting for you". Also, I'm not sure I saw it anywhere else, but in addition to the fact that this song was written about their breakup, it was also written by her ex-husband Bjorn for her to sing. some people viewed that as being rather callous, but in fact she always saw it as being rather cathartic and she said in later years that looking back it was her favorite of all their hits.
Aww I’m happy to hear you enjoyed my reaction, because I enjoyed the song a lot! Thank you for watching! 💙 oh yes I’m looking forward to checking those out soon thank you for the recommendations! I did know that people had been telling me on my last video I did by them, but I appreciate you filling me in anyways! She’s truly a wonderful person I believe, she seems like one anyway, and that says a lot to me of it being her favorite out of all their hits, and from what I’ve heard they had a lot! Haha thank you for the informative comment!
@@SavyReacts Another recommendation is to check out the album, "A", which she released in 2013. It was her first release of original material since 1987 (She had a release in 2004 called My Coloring Book, which consisted of cover versions of some of her favorite songs from the '60s). I've included the link to the official video release from the album "A" below. ua-cam.com/video/w95WdpE6QAI/v-deo.html
This song was written by her husband ( to the left on guitar) after their divorce, then she had to sing it!
Pausing spoils everything. Save comments until the end please.
You do understand that I can’t save my pausing for the end right? If I don’t pause every 30-35 seconds my videos tend to either get blocked or partially blocked, I’ve just made a post showing proof on my channel recently from not pausing, and if my videos get blocked that becomes a waste of my time, and my editing, and my reaction, and the even bigger waste is that nobody gets to see it, it’s really frustrating as a reactor to get comments like this when y’all don’t react so you guys don’t know what we go through, and y’all think we’re pausing for no reason, when in reality we’re pausing to get the people that actually enjoy our videos to be seen, and every country has different guidelines, and restrictions about reacting just to give you some info that you didn’t know not trying to be rude, but it’s not my fault I have to pause so I wish y’all would quit blaming reactors for doing what we have to do
Its about copyright . They must paus it or it will be stopped
Actually, Bjorn wrote this song after Agnetha divorced him .. Although they deny it, everyone knows that the song is about them.
