Frida, you said it's the small things that now have your interest in life. When in Zermatt your perspective in life makes you feel that way,. Surrounded by the high mountains, one can naturally feel that way. The big things in life erases are but a perception that humans have. The mountains and the sea does it for me. May God bless you Frida, and thank you.
Frida is so honest ,I can emphasize with her,when you get older your needs are not the same when younger she is a brilliant woman not aloof like some successful people,her engagement with her fans on a personal basis is quite amazing Frida your an amazing lady ,your simplicity to detail your understanding of problems and your right you helped so many with your ABBA music your own solo career and I as a fan of yours am eternally grateful for having you and your music in my life.Thank you once again and have a lovely life in the beautiful mountains in Zermatt..
Frida's life seems to be based on a movie script. Or the other way round, her life offers enough tragedy, happiness, losses, fame and glory for 3 movies - with all due respect.
This interview, I think, shows what a classy and caring person Frida, like her singing partner, Agnetha, is. It says a lot that Frida has described Agnetha as being like her sister.
Frida is now living in Genolier having had hip surgery and I hope she is very happy there and has a lovely ,happy life thanks for everything you gave us in your lovely voice and songs
@@80spolishdiva24 Yes apparently she had hip surgery and is now living in Genolier. She loves Zermatt and walking in the mountains but alas we all get old and cant do the things we once were able to do..
I did think I noticed a small limp in the video clips we saw of them in the recording studio during the live release. I hope she is healing quickly. I absolutely love her.
Since my last post my darling wife of 55years has died suddenly and miss her so much,Frida is a lovely comforting person and would have made a lovely councellor,but we would not have had the beauty of her beautiful voice,and her honest is to be admired,a real lady of quality who comes along once in a lifetime and a so lovable personality
She is famous, wealthy, titled and privileged. But it all comes with considerable hardship. As a largely isolated and insecure young girl who came from Norway where women such as her mother were ostracized for having affairs with German soldiers during WWII and who later took her daughter to Sweden to avoid it, and then who died when her daughter was two only to be raised by her financially distraught and hard working grandmother, she escaped into the world of music. Her talent was recognized at an early age and by 14, she was singing in dance bands. But finding a musical career seemed unlikely, so, as many young women do, she married and had children. On a whim, she entered a singing contest, won an award, a recording contract which led to television shows. She made recordings, music videos, personal appearances, performed in a movie and her beauty led to modeling assignments. When she met the other members of what was to become ABBA, she and her husband knew she was on the verge of great fame and fortune. But it meant touring and being away from the family, a difficult decision. The marriage was already struggling when she met Benny Andersson, the father/brother figure she never had who guided her to success. In the interim, her grandmother died After a long courtship, and following divorce, she and Benny married, taking in the kids whenever possible. ABBA made her famous, but though equally beautiful and talented, she was often in the shadow of younger blonde Agnetha Faltskog. She rarely complained. Divorce would follow after Benny's affair with another woman. She was deeply hurt. After the group disbanded, she made some singular recordings with moderate success. Then she married into royalty. It was a love affair that ended when her husband died prematurely from disease, around the same time her daughter was killed in an auto accident. Deciding her career was over, she moved to Switzerland where she lives with a male companion, maintains a private lifestyle, does few interviews and is very philanthropic.
I really felt for her when she spoke about recording Like an Angel Passing Through my Room, which is one of the most beautiful things she's done. I think both she and Agnetha had to put up with a lot from B&B telling them how to sing. Granted they were the composers ..but without Frida and Agnetha Abba would never have been as big as they were! I have heard that Bjorn in particular criticized everything Agnetha did! My husband (who is a piano player) is the person who can make me very nervous, because he is the one who knows if I'm singing well or am slightly under par, as he hears me practice. Anyway ..just saying ..it made me really wild for her when she said " don't you dare tell me how to sing it!'
Annifrida, you gave me my life, without you and Agnetha I would have never bin the person I am today.....I love you both so very very much...thankyou for your beautiful voice and Agnetha voice also💖💖
@pert45: She's talking about CERTAIN fans, who sends her letters. Probably the kind of fans who share their life stories, and tell her about their problems and possibly how ABBA's music has helped them through the problems. How about you start using your brain a bit instead of making insulting comments about Frida, who probably will never know that you exist anyway. :)
thank goodness she returned. I think Frida was the member of the group who always longed for a reunion, but accepted that it would probably never happen because of the reluctance of the others. She also went through so much tragedy in her life I understand completely why she wanted to enjoy the 'Little Things' that bring us joy rather than having a lofty, extravagant and ultimately empty life. She seemed so happy and proud at the Voyage concert opening... and I think she's hinted that she's not adverse to doing more with the group... come on, Frida... we love you!
WHAT IS SHE SAYING.....?????.......I listened to ABBA's music because it was GREAT....not because I was missing anything in my life....how dare she assume that everyone who liked ABBA had problems??????????????????????????...this has changed my view of her.....GET A LIFE is what I'd tell her....and give her millions away to charity if she feels that she made money from us because we were ' missing something' in our pathetic lives....!!!!!!!

Awesome! You really put that idiot in his/her place! Frida didn't say a word about people who listened to ABBA having problems-- it was about some fans writing to her with difficult life stories-- maybe this person was one of them, hence the defensive reaction. It's alarming how some people don't listen or read carefully but go off on a baseless rant-- it's a dangerous lack of accuracy that can lead to all sorts of conflict.
For someone who has Swedish as her first language, she appears to have a better understanding of plain English than yourself. Too often, people react without properly hearing what has been said. At no point did she say 'everyone'. She quite clearly was speaking of only those who send letters and are looking for comfort. It's surprising that, after all these years, you haven't deleted your ridiculous comment. But then, seeing some of your other contributions, I guess it isn't really a surprise. Don't just hear, .........Listen !!!

What a real and raw interview. It also really shows how smart she is. Fast, intelligent, reflective.
Frida will always be an artist with a class.. i admire her happy outlook in life.. simple but elegant.. God bless

in a way it sounds like Frida had more of a grip on her life than Agnetha
I love you Frida ,,always stay humble👍👍👍

Love Frida and Agnetha. Both their voices are soothing when they talk. Very measured with their answers but honest.
Frida you’re a very special lovely lady, I admire you humble ways and the love you have in your heart. God bless you and your family always.
Отличная певица, с шикарным голосом! Личность, красивая женщина до настоящего времени!
very bright, sensitive and thoughtful woman - and quite sane ... the world needs more Frida's. ( being sexy as hell doesn't hurt either ;)

My Queen!!!
I saw his stage show about Frida it was real cool
You are such a big big heart FRIDA!We love you.
Canta pra gente,Frida e Agnetha,ABBA ❤❤❤❤ amo vocês!
I like Frida most of all as a member of ABBA, her solo Albums are fantastic.
She is famous, wealthy, titled and privileged. But it all comes with considerable hardship.

What a life story that is.

Thank you! Outstanding info and a great story of our Earth Angel, sweet and intelligent Frida!❤
And who might her 'male companion' be?
Her rise in status across the decades is really something of a Cinderella story - yet not many people know about her background
Annifrida, you gave me my life, without you and Agnetha I would have never bin the person I am today.....I love you both so very very much...thankyou for your beautiful voice and Agnetha voice also💖💖
Frida is a fantastic, wonderful and extraordinary woman. 💕
I just want to deliver my best wishes to this lovely lady.
Frida eu te amo para sempre
I love her and her voice she is so smart i am so glad she is back i have all her solo stuff and to me voice amazing.
she is so great
Scorpio women always have class,in whatever they do.
Yes Scorpion ..Grace Kelly ..Vivien Leigh ..Maria Casarès..Jean Seberg
She's very intelligent & seems like a person of substance. Caring, too.
I kind of feel guilty now that Agnetha was my favorite. LOL!
Don't be ..I think they are both lovely people and that came across and made Abba special 💓
Agnetha is my favorite and Frida is my choice....I love them both, there is no Abba without Frida andAgnetha and Benny & Bjorn....
So moving.
She is a lovely lady.

WOW :)
❤❤❤❤❤
You are clearly exactly who she's talking about.
Thank never hear this
We just we
I like you
Withdrawn from 'ABBA Frida'? If you only knew then...
thank goodness she returned. I think Frida was the member of the group who always longed for a reunion, but accepted that it would probably never happen because of the reluctance of the others.
