Агнета конечно же не подражаема. Изящная, грациозная секси-девочка! Не зря признана секс-символом группы. Сочетание лица, фигуры, и харизмы - это просто жара!!!

So sad for Frida! She was trying everything with her skirt but everyone was looking at sexy Agnetha! Agnetha has the better figure everyone was saying, i think so too. Sweden loves you Agnetha!
Damals fand ich ABBA cool und habs gern gehört.. Aus heutiger Sicht ists kultig und als Mann kann ich sagen "Frida und Agnetha waren echt heisse Bräute damals"...
For the international viewers: Formerly, I found that ABBA was really cool and I liked listening to them. From todays' view, it has something of cult and as a man I would mention that "Frida and Agnetha were really smokin' hot brides in these times"...
I have to say I find the girls' dance routines very cute. I suspect most of those people who aren't impressed with their dancing are young people, who compare the ABBA girls with today's performers. Yes, Frida tends to overdo it and be a bit ahead of the beat. Yes, Agnetha sometimes forgets to do it exactly according to the routine. But they are supercute still! I am particularly fond of the dance routines for this song, S.O.S. and Honey, Honey.

@hylloveabba4ever Ровно столько же забывала и Фрида. А если говорить о идеале, то не зря поклонников больше у Агнеты. Думаю, что есть на то основания... ))
Maybe they could use the one of this song when ABBA visited Finland. Frida was even more bold.Saw a clip.That was on their tour to thank the "neighbour" for voting.The set was "hiiaa" .
this were the mama mia video outfits right? hahaha Agnetha is so cute, how she miss that step and run into Frida haha but she handled and fix it really good! love them...ABBA rocks!
In all the vids I have watched, (even of this song) I never saw Agnetha miss a beat till this one! She was always a more reserved rock and roller than Frida, but 99 % of the time she is right on the beat, while Frida is doing her thing...what ever it was at times! Glad they choose the pop music route shortly after doing this song as they were not rockers, but the best to 'ever' do pop music!
Frida and Agnetha are like the chocolate and vanilla of music. Very good alone, but together, even better. Their contrasts are what makes them more interesting to me.
I agree w/ CommanderCronus (except his "horrible" dancers part.. not THAT bad). Agnetha mostly stays within her comfort zone, not taking many chances, which is fine. Frida isn't necessarily more polished (far from it), but she does have a bit more natural rhythm. Couple that along with her exuberance for dancing = more fun to watch. It's hilarious how she'll sometimes lose track of what she's supposed to be doing because she gets so carried away from excitement. I love her lack of inhibition.
They are both fantastic if ya ask me. ABBA would not be the same without iether one of them. They sang beautifully together. I always liked Agnetha the best, but that's because I am partial to blondes, but I love Frida as well.
yay! I've been looking for this video for the little dance screw up :p In my opinion, Frida was the more experienced and better dancer. She was in a group called the "Dance Band" for years and based on her flexibility, I assume she practices a lot. Yes, Agnetha was slower and some people find that sexy, but there are times where she seems a bit "pigeon toed." I feel for Frida's energy and the excitement that she brings to her performances. :D
firda has the moves always had always will .agnetha has the look both great singers . cannot be good at everything ! both bring their own thing to their performces !!! rellay its all good
What moves does Frida have? She's wilder. That's all. What she's doing isn't exactly dancing. It's staging/moving to the music at best. Ags wasn't exactly standing still either. You prefer Frida, great. But to constantly state she was a better dancer is laughable. None of them were dancers- they were vocalists. Regardless, Agnetha wins it hands down for me. She didn't have to outdance anyone to be noticed.
As for dancing, if you look at the Abba videos Frida is always out of sync with the music she goes much to FAST, listen to the beat your body should move in time to it its called rythm, Agnetha seemed more ryhmical naturally as she seems more in tune with the beat of the music, overall Agnetha is better at it all singer/songwriter, voice, technique, stage presence, conveying the songs, she just stood out.
Well, Agnetha know how to write music, but it doesn´t mean that Frida is worse: I like them both, they have magic voices, the best for me. Though I preffer Agnetha´s voice cause it´s higher and I like soprano voices a lot
ENZFAB it must be very difficult for Frida fans knowing Agnetha was given the best and most challenging songs vocally to sing, her range is far superior to Fridas, look at the Abba back catalogue the facts speak for themselves, Agnetha does most off it, Agnetha did so so many difficult songs that were much more challenging vocally than Frida who was always given safe songs, Bjorn has said himself that Agnetha is the true soprano and her voice is angelic.
Well, Agnetha´s range ISN´T superior to Frida´s, it´s HIGHER, that´s to say; Frida has a lower voice. Soprano and contralto. If you had studied a bit music at school you should have learned it.Don´t be so rude.
Let's face the facts: Agnetha and Frida were both terrible at dancing. Absolutely, undeniably horrible. But then again, they never really put all that much effort into it. Their focus was on making the records, and in that regard they were geniuses. Besides, I think all their dancing misshaps are cute, in a way. I will always love ABBA.
By the way; Frida won a national song contest in Sweden before Abba. Agnetha did not. Also, I do not really want to say this, but Abba had some trouble in the beginning due to Agnetha singing off key!This explains why Agnetha always prefered the music studio to the live scene..in a studio you can retake and retake. On stage you have one shot. Her two most difficult leads; My love, my life and The winner takes it all have never been sung live.
Lastly, "Thank U 4 Music", "Chiquitita", "As Good as New", "I've Been Waiting 4 U" & even "Hole in Soul" were just as if not more demanding than those 2 songs U mentioned & have been performed live on stage & according to many who were there, effectively well. Let's not forget the songs from JCS "I Don't Know How to Love Him" & "Everythings Alright" among others which were performed live several days a week & the woman was barely out of her teens.
PS: It is true that everyone's tone/range is different but just because one has a higher/soprano pitch doesn't change the fact that music written in those registers is still harder to sing. Even the best belters will get vocal fatigue due to constantly belting in higher registers. It has happend 2 Whitney, Bette Midler, Garland..etc & Agnetha's voice took more of a pounding, constantly belting past her vocal break & is 1 of the reasons I admire her greatly.
This song, "so long" is a tight blend of rock guiters, sax's and over layered vocals that combind in the final mix could never be performed live-WITHOUT A HOST OF STAGE MUSICIANS joining in...and, when they were'nt doing that, they were canned on TV(and the girls sung kerioki to the backing tracks so by the end of the song, you could just make out the ends of their live parts!!Finally someone who knows something about music!!!! (((:::
We do not agree, and that is ok by me. I love Agnetha too, but prefer Frida, it is that simple. I DO NOT try to drag Ags down. I find her truly charming and talented. I just find Frida more talented and beautiful, and I am entitled to my opinion, for gods sake! As for the singing, it depends where the pitch of your voice is. For me, it`s more difficult to sing Fridas leads then Agnethas. I did not say anything bad about Agnethas voice, I just said Frida was better.
Of course you're entitled to your opinion I was merely responding to the many "Frida is better" posts. The only instance I read that stated Agnetha sang off key alot earlier in ABBA's career was in the book DARK SHADOWS which many have branded as questionable. Regardless, every singer evolves including Frida. Agnetha (who was 5 years younger) NEVER would have landed the female lead in a major musical JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR had she sung off key. You cannot fix bad vocals live on stage.
Anyone with a sense of musicality an rythm, knows that Frida is the best singer AND dancer of them. True, none of them were trained dancers, but it is obvious that Frida has more rythm and joy in performing on stage. Agnetha has said so herself, she always felt more comfortable in the studio. She has barely no rythm at all!! But it`s charming in a way:-)
I do have a sense of musicality/rythmn. I trained classically (opera)& theatre & I can tell U Frida's moves were JUST as awkward. Just because she's wilder & moves more doesn't change anything. U prefer Frida- great but 2 diminish Agnetha's vocal talents is unecessary. Try singing Agnetha's solos in FULL voice & then Frida's & you will see Agnetha's songs are far more vocally demanding, written in higher keys, by the vocal break.
CONT: Many female auditionees struggled when singing Agnetha's solo songs for MAMMA MIA, I wonder why?
Agnetha has stated Frida gave off a more "intense" image on stage cos she always preferred the studio & Frida loved both. That doesn't mean she didn't give her all during each performance. Frida's fans seem to turn a blind eye to the numerous times Frida has "danced" disasterously live. But she's always complemented by her fans regardless of how bad she's dancing. I don't get it.
i must say, i always thought of agnetha as being the more classier and seductive dancer than the two and this video confirms that belief. she doesn't have to gyrate like a mad serpent to get herself notice, her slow and sexy movement complements the furious rhythm of the song!!!
I really don't get people constantly accusing Agnetha of being a bad dancer & Frida being so amazing. Newsflash: neither of these girls were dancers & Agnetha's dancing was no less awkward than Frida's which is evident to anyone watching these clips. Just because one is wilder than the others doesn't make you a better dancer. Regardless, Agnetha didn't need to over-dance anybody since she didn't have to do much to be noticed. My eyes were transfixed on her. She rocked it.
Agnetha shines again, what a mover she is, they usually do six twirls then dance Frida messed up big style here, another one of Fridas fashion disasters yet again that frizzy hair OMG, she had so many disastrous looks while Agnetha always shone being the beautiful one.
great video. thanks for posting it. wonderful song, and the girls are beautiful as usual. agnetha's mistake at the end was funny. jeez, that cameraman's a little navel-crazy though.
Well duh CaptainPunjab.... It is an exceptioanlly spectacular midriff.... Quite frankly I'm glad/ heck call it ecstatic, to see more of Frida than the usual focus on Agnetha's butt.
whats wrong with the camera man? he couldt keep the focus off Frida´s navel...anyway, dont blame him...and the smart blond agnetha did it again...screw the dance rutine. Bah!
This is quite typical though isn't it? So much of the ABBA imagery focused on Agnetha who was certainly a gorgeous woman and failed to acknowledge that Frida was equally, in some ways, even more attractive. Besides Frida had a maturity and self confidence that Agnetha could never match and that made her far more alluring, at least to me.
Frida's father was indeed a German Soldier. However the vast majority of German troops (over 95%) had nothing to do with the Nazi party. For the most part the average Weirmacht soldier was nothing more than a patriot to his country doing his duty under threat of his own life, albeit at the bequest of an evil and and corrupt leadership.

Try singing Agnetha's solos in FULL voice & then Frida's & you will see Agnetha's songs are far more vocally demanding, written in higher keys, by the vocal break.

CONT: Many female auditionees struggled when singing Agnetha's solo songs for MAMMA MIA, I wonder why?
Agnetha has stated Frida gave off a more "intense" image on stage cos she always preferred the studio & Frida loved both. That doesn't mean she didn't give her all during each performance. Frida's fans seem to turn a blind eye to the numerous times Frida has "danced" disasterously live. But she's always complemented by her fans regardless of how bad she's dancing. I don't get it.

i must say, i always thought of agnetha as being the more classier and seductive dancer than the two and this video confirms that belief. she doesn't have to gyrate like a mad serpent to get herself notice, her slow and sexy movement complements the furious rhythm of the song!!!

I really don't get people constantly accusing Agnetha of being a bad dancer & Frida being so amazing. Newsflash: neither of these girls were dancers & Agnetha's dancing was no less awkward than Frida's which is evident to anyone watching these clips. Just because one is wilder than the others doesn't make you a better dancer. Regardless, Agnetha didn't need to over-dance anybody since she didn't have to do much to be noticed. My eyes were transfixed on her. She rocked it.

Agnetha shines again, what a mover she is, they usually do six twirls then dance Frida messed up big style here, another one of Fridas fashion disasters yet again that frizzy hair OMG, she had so many disastrous looks while Agnetha always shone being the beautiful one.

Well duh CaptainPunjab.... It is an exceptioanlly spectacular midriff.... Quite frankly I'm glad/ heck call it ecstatic, to see more of Frida than the usual focus on Agnetha's butt.

I think poor Frida got screwed by the choreographer. What IS she doing?

This is quite typical though isn't it? So much of the ABBA imagery focused on Agnetha who was certainly a gorgeous woman and failed to acknowledge that Frida was equally, in some ways, even more attractive. Besides Frida had a maturity and self confidence that Agnetha could never match and that made her far more alluring, at least to me.

it`s only fair that Frida`s stomach gets as much exposure as Agnetha`s ass, which btw is looking reeeeeeal good in this vid ;P

That cameraman is having multiple orgasms over Frida's stomach. A right choice for a change.

Oh my goodness. Agnetha and the dance routine at the end may cause little boys of a certain age to spontaneously combust.

What little boys? I myself am having a hard time keeping it together....
Agnetha really screwed it up, though. But in the end, though, does it really matter?? ;-)

Frida's father was indeed a German Soldier. However the vast majority of German troops (over 95%) had nothing to do with the Nazi party. For the most part the average Weirmacht soldier was nothing more than a patriot to his country doing his duty under threat of his own life, albeit at the bequest of an evil and and corrupt leadership.
