For those wondering about vocal performance, you have to realize that the studio version was highly produced (as is typical of pop music) and you're hearing just the song as it was written, sans the overlayed harmonies. Also, live recordings sometimes don't translate well as compared to what the audience heard, and it sounded like the audience was going nuts even though ABBA wasn't well known when this was recorded.
doesn't sound terrible IMO.. maybe running a bit off-key.... saw the same thing in another SOS live performance.. maybe poor monitor setup? you can see her put her finger in her ear sometimes in other live shows to find the right pitch. what do i know. i enjoyed the video.. thanks for posting.
IMO she didn't sang terrible at all. I give her credit b/cos the song sits on her vocal break & U can tell she was switching back & fourth from her "head" voice to her "chest" voice during the verse which is difficult to do. At time she fell flat which happens to ALL singers live including Frida.
The music was pre-recorded, but the vocals are live. It is nice to hear Frida and Agnetha live, without so many overlayed tracks.

At least she carries it live. Others of this generation rarely do. The Midnight Special didn't play. It was live or it was jive. Get the picture?

I guess she had a bad night. That happens once in a while to even the best performers.
