She is very beautiful, as beautiful as ever, and although I don't like her dress very much, I think that it is so kind of her having agreed to do this song with them. Thus, she shows how humble she is, with no trace of that "I'm-a-star" attitude that some people who are far less talented and special than her have. Great Frida.
love listening to this over and over. It's so refreshing to hear talent like this these days where so much is so canned or refined to oblivion with electronics
To all that's been said I have to ad that Frida is a personal friend of Queen Silvia, and I bet she performs live this time. Also, it should be added, that the real group would never have performed with her if she didn't sing live. She's the best! And check out other songs from her album released in 1996, it's so strong.
It does amaze me how little people truly understand trulu awsome performers. They take care of their voices very well, so something can sound this good without being pantomimed too. I even have a sister who sings opera, she doesn't need help to sound good with recording or live.
Listen to the ABBA concert at Wembley 1979. All live voices there on every song. Then go to the Olivia new John Show and watch ABBA sing with Andy Gibb and Olivia and you will see all live music there too! Lip Syncing was unfortunately popular in the 70's and 80's but do not think that the lady can't sing live. Their voices were amazing!
Frida seems to be the one former ABBA member who truly seems to enjoy ABBA's music. I know that Benny sometimes performs old ABBA songs now and then.
Of course there must be hurtful memories for all of them when they look back. Their marriages ended before ABBA did. But that's why it makes me so happy to see Frida here, because she looks so happy. :)
Frida sang Saltwater, What a Wonderful World and Anglamark live in 1992. This performance is also live just as the opera bit which preceded it. It's mentioned on Frida the DVD, actually...
Having seen The Real Group live I can testify that they sound like a whole orchestra, and you are wondering where the rest of the band are ! They are amazing performers and singers !
I think the technique they are performing here in this show is called "acapella" because there is no music accompanying but only voices singing and voices making rythm ... Bravo !
It seems to me it is a studio sound we hear and not the live sound, atleast from Frida. The Real Group is so professional that you hardly hear difference from live and studio recording but Frida has not sung for many many years and would she still have that perfect control that is needed for singing live?
Frida has operatic training in her background. That combined with the fact that she doesn't strike me as a real hard liver or partier,why shouldn't she sound this good?:)
It's not a matter of studia quality, those who take care of their voices, and with the skill and control these singers have, and i do mean all of them, including Frida, you can have things live that sound like it was recorded. That is what true talent in music is, and what is missing in the music Today, real talent as shown by these performers
I found it hard to believe when I first heard of it. A no-music arrangement for DANCING QUEEN??? But now I've heard it for myself, and there's just one word that encapsulates my opinion of it: BRILLIANCE! SHEER, UNADULTERATED BRILLIANCE!!!
If I only knew the Real Group's arrangement in-depth, I believe that I could improve on it... even add in that legendary "missing verse." But THAT would mean sitting down with Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha, Frida AND their agents... now THERE'S a chilling thought!
Absolutely brilliant! ABBA are the best and this interpretation of Dancing Queen with the Real Group just highlights what a superb singer Frida is. I could listen to her all day.
As enjoyable as the original version. These guys can really sing and did they do the arrangement? Oh yes, hearing Frida here shows how large a part she played in making the original track. Brilliant!!
people think that agnetha is the voice of abba. i beg to differ when i hear this. listen to this, then play the regular version. frida's voice is all over it.
She is so lovely. I think she is even better and more beautiful than ever. I will always love her. I hope she will record a new album with Jon Lord as soon as possible. FRIDA FOREVER!
A ABBA museum will open in Stockholm and there's a lot of speculation if all four will show up att the grand opening. It would be fantastic but I don't think Agnetha will be there.
Pure perfection.
