What a beautiful blend of the past and present,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,love, Christian

[Ivanbelastegui]

It´s very interesting to see how the abba sound is so conected with the original voices and the special way the had of producing the records. This kind of magic dissapears when it is sung by others, and in the other hand you will not find it in any of the Agnetha or frida solo recordings.This is probably one of the reasons why they are still around. In this song (the original) it is pretty amazing how sentimental and plaintive the voice sound without belting out the notes in a "drama" way.

[anushkahimali]

thanks for posting. nice voice , close to Great great Agnetha

[jtking2504]

Although there's nothing like the magic of Agnetha's voice in the original song, this really does illustrate the timelessness of Abba's music and Benny & Bjorn's incredible song writing talent.

[ji61m]

I agree....the ultimate show of respect is to have someone honor you by covering your song and Aggy and ABBA are certainly a tough act to follow and I believe that Charlotte did a great job here!

[jtking2504]

She did, it's a lovely modern version and shouldn't be compared to the original (very tough act to follow, yes!). I think ppl need to listen as if they are hearing it for the first time, as it really shows off the beautiful and timeless song that it is, and the talent of the song writers.

[stefancev]

"Celestial. This combination of songwriting, singing and even sound-engineering talent (Michael B Tretow) might never be seen again.

Remove one or more of the pieces, and it's only marvellous (like "Mamma Mia"). "

Wrote the above commentary on your video "Agnetha Fältskog - My love my life". This comparison video further proves my case. Charlotte P. is a career robot, not at all the sensitive singer you need for this song.

[ji61m]

All I was trying to do was give people a chance to hear Charlotte as she honored Aggy with her rendition of this great Abba song....it wasn't intended to be who's better then who...

[stefancev]

Oh, I think your idea was great. This comparison is very illustrative. You learn more about the factors that made ABBA so good.

[jes941]

Jim this video is a prime example of why we need you and your talent here on youtube. I'm glad you stayed but sorry you felt it necesary to disable the rattings.

[ji61m]

Sorry about that Jim, but someone rated it like a 2 star video and even if everyone after that rated it 5 stars, it would still only be 3 stars at best and I really think it's way better then that! I'll stick around, but I'm gonna slow down a bit!

Thank you Jim, I hope you're feeling better!

[nanarjain74]

Much love from Marie, Jim.

[ji61m]

Thank you Marie, much love to you as well!

[nanarjain74]

Oh, I see what's going on here! Well, I'll give all your vids 5*****. At least you did it.

I am not sure if the same can be said about the "person," who is acting like an oerang gutan!!!!!

[ji61m]

Unfortunately Marie, someone chose to rate my video quite low and I decided to shut off the ratings feature because after a low rating, you can never recover to bring it back up and I don't think it's that bad of a video. Thank you very much for the 5*'s!

[missbeauty58]

This was great my friend, I love Charlotte very much, she did a great job with a wonderful song.

Love from Norway

Carina

[ji61m]

Thank you Miss Carina. I think she did a great job with Aggy's song.

[songsungu]

very very nice. This has always been one of my favorite ABBA songs. It has a quality to take you away with it and the blending of the two singers is fabulous. As though they recorded it in the same studio. Thanks, Christian

[ji61m]

Thank you Christian. I try to get the songs to mesh as close as I can and this is the best on I've done I believe.

[lovinga24]

Charlotte is simply stunning & her singing is heavenly. Wow!

[ji61m]

I agree with you very much!

[Festfolket]

Nice video and interesting to hear the 2 versions together :-) Thanks for posting.

[ji61m]

Thank you. I think it's my best blend of two songs yet. They flow so well together and Charlotte honors Aggy so well by doing an outstanding version here.

[karleksang]

Interesting version by Charlotte Jim,but for me it lacks the heart wrenching emotion of Agnethas voice..33 years on and it is "still my one and only" version for me.Cheers..

[ji61m]

Thanks Billy...This has to be the ultimate way to be honored in your homeland. It's something you don't see very often here in the States. It seems like the only way to get it done here is to honor your memory after you've passed away.

[cazziekins]

Oh how i agree with you!

[Stevend2be]

Awesome cover !!!!!

Thanks,

Steven

[ji61m]

I think Charlotte did a fantastic job of singing one of my personal Aggy favorites here. Thank you for stopping by Steven.

Peace...Jim~

[aconchobhar]

I don't know where you come up with stuff like this jim or how you found Charlotte Perrelli , but to date this is one of my favorite Aggy Productions,,I usually enjoy the videos, but the blend of the two songs is great, and now i'll have to check out Charlotte thanks for a great video

[ji61m]

Thanks Alan. I've known about Charlotte Perrelli for sometime now. Elin has a live version of this song posted from 2002, you should check it out. If you can't find it, I have it in my favorites. It's a very powerful version and she does a very good cover.

[cazziekins]

Love this song thank u it is perfection from the opening and for the entire 4 minutes sigh .....

[ji61m]

Thanks Cazz....Charlotte does a great job honoring Aggy here....But Aggy is Aggy and you can't improve on that!

[cazziekins]

Oh yes the original is simply spine tingling oooooooooooooooooooh...

[ji61m]

Wow Cazz, that sure is a lot of oooooooooooooooo's...you must really like it!

[cazziekins]

It is in my top 3 Abba songs EVER that's why it is just perfection!

[ji61m]

It looks like we have something in common Cazz....it's in my top 3 as well!

[B1jujv75]

Beautiful video Jim ! only you and you tube can fool with your setting,s I thought.Jim It is your site how can anyone get into it !! I am having problems posting text comments on all the sites Half the time after I write them there not there when I go back to check on them! I have to write 3 comment and still the problem is there Any suggestting what i should try Thank,s Jim love this video it is different Rick

[cazziekins]

I think this is happening a lot cos it is to me!Hopefully YT will sort it out ASAP :0)

[ji61m]

I with you on this one 100% Cazz!

[ji61m]

Thanks Rick. I'm not sure why, but I don't get notifications from YouTube anymore on my primary email addy...and now they're showing up on my secondary email account. Kind of a pain jumping around, but if it's all I got I guess i'll manage

[dholm13]

I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would mess with your great videos Jim! Must be some crackpot that is jelous or something! Well I give you 100*'s for your great slide show! You are the best with wmm, and this one is no exception! Thanks for continuing doing your masterful work Jim! Never give in!!

-Dallas

[ji61m]

Thanks Dallas...the sad part is that there's always someone out there for every video. I appreciate it but I don't think I'm best, I'm just a guy who tries to do his best.

[claura13abbafan]

I agree here with Dallas for wmm. That`s obvious ;)

Great vid Jim and don`t even try to think about giving up to YT!!! Hope that spring will inspire you for next marvellous ABBA/Agnetha video! Thank you for the Song!

[roydoncrossing]

Like Charlottes version but love Agnethas-she is surely a tough act to follow-no-one has succeeded yet and congrats on the one you said would not be made!! Happy St.Paddys day for tomorrow!

[ji61m]

Thanks Bill. it wasn't my intention to ever quit or fight with YouTube, I was just blowing off steam. Now I have to stop the ratings on my videos because some idiot is going around and low-balling my videos through the ratings system. Tomorrow will be extremely busy for us, but I'm ready.

[roydoncrossing]

I saw on the feed that someone had two starred it and when I looked at the video saw ratings disabled so guessed why-sad.......still they could be taking a gun and running amok I suppose!

[ji61m]

.....In a way, that's exactly what their doing.

Jealousy on YouTube?......who would have guessed...

[roydoncrossing]

I am on admin on a UK TV group and have seen it all,down starring,counter clicking,abuse the lot-hell of a lot of Jealousy and hate out there sadly!

[MAMsMom97]

I liked both versions. I had never heard of Charlotte before. Thanks, Jim! Great job!

[SadLookinMoon]

great to hear both songs like this Jim, Aggie does this song the best, no question about it.

beautiful slideshow to go with the music!

[ji61m]

It's cool to hear them like this and to be able to compare them. Of course Aggy's will always be better, that's why these great singers sing her songs...to honor her!

Thank you Elin.

[magicalabba]

Another great job Jim. Definitely more emotion in Aggy's version though, Talking of side by sides I liked the Swedish Christmas Carol you did with Aggy and Frida.Happy St Paddy's day on Tuesday.

[ji61m]

Thank you MA...Aggy's version was the first video ( Abba in Poland ) that I saved on my channel almost 2 years ago and is definitly in my top 3 favorites! I'm looking forward to St. Paddy's day, it's our busiest day of the year where I work!

[frapistat]

Hey Jim. The share seems to be working now. I think, like Shay, Agnetha has more emotion in her delivery on this song. Charlotte is good, but... Nice job as usual.

[ji61m]

Hey Rob...I read a comment somewhere by Bjorn where he said that this is about as pure a delivery from Aggy as we'll ever hear....and he was right! Thanks Rob.

[2Shaymcn]

Thanks Jim for the comparison

Not a bad job from Charrlotte, but no one can match Agnetha

Love that pic at 3.02!

[ji61m]

Thanks Shay. She does do a good job, but like you said, I'm partial to Aggy's version as well! I used pics from both videos so I could keep the feel of the song.

[Broadsword255]

Yep, extremely talented & very beautiful.

[Broadsword255]

great song, beautiful pictures (as always) Tricia xxxx

[ji61m]

Thanks Tricia. I'm on the side by side song comparisons here lately and I think this is one of the better ones yet. Charlotte is a beautiful woman, but my heart will always belong to Aggy!

[jes941]

beautiful song Jim Pictures perfect as usual

[ji61m]

Thanks Jim, apparently someone doesn't think it's too good if it's been rated down to three stars! I guess you can't please everyone!
