Anni-Frid Lyngstad-"En ledig dag (Weekend in Portofino)"

[abbaMANQUEZ]

Frida showed amazing vocals here. Flawless. I know she can go lower than E3. Not just sure about her lowest note, this video is about E6/F6. Certainly has more than 3 octave range.

[ScandinavianWerewolf]

Beautiful! Isn't she really from Norway?

[032490mf]

@ScandinavianWerewolf Born to a Norwegian mother and German Nazi officer father

[poetsdontknowit]

wow, someone pass me a dictionary because i cant find the words to describe how gorgeous frida is in this clip.

didnt understand a single word but that was utterly enchanting.

pity the interviewer thinks he`s david frost interviewing richard nixon

[masteroftheeouse]

Wow this video explains alot. Already a mom with two children before Abba and still a beauty with an incredibile voice. Fida certainly hits all the high notes here! This is a wonderful performance!

[michaelyisrael]

Anni-Frid you sing like a angel.

[fridnetha]

Your occupation?

-I'm married with two children.

How sweet she is, Ilove you FRIDA <3

[UglySean]

Has she always been a tasty goddess? My my my. Wow. Sexy in every language.



[moodytwoshoes]

Why does he taunt her about having kids and therefore not getting ahead?

[moodytwoshoes]

It all comes from being very lonely as a child and having a disturbed mother who died when she was only 2. She left her own children to fulfill her insatiable ambition to be a singer. .I don't say this out of spite...just to make people aware of what causes Narcissistic Personality Disorder. If you're going to have kids, make sure they're very secure & get plenty of love and attention in their early years. We love you Frida.

[BelgradeIsInTheHeart]

Her voice is so light and clear.... lovely! :)

[skorpyyz]

Classy from Day One. All those embarrassingly silly questions and she just smiled. LOVE her!!! She has not lost any of her poise through the years. And those last notes! Mariah Carey must have learned this from Frida!

[skorpyyz]

Classy from Day One. All those embarrassingly silly questions and she just smiled. LOVE her!!!

[musicbabyable]

It's amazing how shy she was when she was talking compared to when she was singing!

[blfgomes]

Simply precious, a piece of music history. Thank you so much for sharing!

[karenbennet]

Oh, my God, I hadn't watched this video before!!! Of course I have watched Frida's "En Ledig Dag" performance, but I hadn't seen the interview with her before it!

I simply LOVED it! Frida haven't changed in any aspect: she was already very kind, sweet and humble at that time!!! And very talented, of course!

Frida, you will always be in our hearts! ♥

[pakantotmiss]

This would sound great on my sound system!

[dunnoris]

i LOVE this video, shes so humble during the interview and at times look even melancholic, but once she grabs the mic and the music starts playing shes totally in her element!! and my god what a finale! a voice made for jazz

I LOVE you Frida! xxx

[Stellastar1972]

You can see Frida's personality just coming through here. She is quite tight lipped about her family and only says what she wants to. Love the little look she gives to the presenter when he compliments her. This is the Frida look now. Fantastic voice. Can't believe she's 65 now! Wow! Makes me feel real old, although when I hear Abba I go straight back to my youth.

[1lovelarafabian]

What a beautiful young woman she was, great, wonderful

Frida you are gorgeous, brilliant <3

[fridarules]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U ARE THE BEST, EVER !!!!!

[Rena1934]

I love this clip. Thanks for posting!

[annasumner]

OMG!! she's so sweet here! "I'm married with two children, that's my occupation" thank you so much for sharing!!!

[XMusicalXSoulX]

So beautiful, sweet, and talented Frida.

[hamiltonschool]

someone knows were I can search for en ledig dag lyrics

[darrenjb71]

Det var en ledig dag Fylld av välbehag Jag gick i solen, kände värmen Jag var glad Från havet kom musik Till varje liten vik Just denna sköna dag En härlig, ledig dag Jag gick på stranden, kände sanden Varm och skön En båt med segel Låg och väntade på mig Lekfullt, lätt jag såg Varje liten våg Dansande mot strand Den stund vi fann

[gustavojoris]

the presenter is such an asshole!

[roaringchicken92]

What a sweetheart, and what a voice!! @Tracymmo I agree, you take away the "wall of sound" and you're still left with perfection. Thanks for the post!

[diamondtears6543]

frida looks and sounds beautiful!



[Lalibo]

Frida <3

[facojavialma]

No mames que frejona!!!

[noyorono]

Frida, the James Bond girl! ^_^

[sylvesttter]

preciosa! Incluso mas que Agnetha :)

[diamondtears6543]

@sylvesttter _ Definitivamente!

[highonimmi]

holy freekin sheisse!!!! anni frid u simply rock...sublimely, of course! anybody know where i can find more jazzy pieces from this goddess? i like this better than abba...and abba is my fave band of all time!

[nadja5890]

Yeah!! She is my idol...And who can say that ABBA mezzosopran cannot sing high as sopran??? :) love Frida! well done

[ZZJoCa]

Wow! Must be hard to sing in that tongue; and that ending was like 3 octaves up, from a middle range. She did it so cleanly and effortlessly.

[nadja5890]

AND THAT IS DIS 5 !!!!!

[nadja5890]

WOOOOW 5 15!!! this is her greatest hit,and because of it,she is one of the best singers on the world(I can not remember which place on the world)..well done,my Angel!

[edithpiaffan1]

She has always been so beautiful and sweet, and her voice is special. <3

[dreasbn]

I really do like Agnetha, but without this lady and her sophisticated voice, behaviour and style Abba would have been nothing. To compare both ladies is stupid. they contribute a fair share of 50/50 to ABBA, each in their own right.

[VGiustetto]

@dreasbn

[loVapaLooza911]

she is so pretty..!!

[Baldenlong77]

That bridge section and ending was killer!

[swedishpinoy]

Frida så blyg och ödmjuk! Haha! Det är ju så charmigt! Det trodde man inte, i allafall inte jag! Så jädra bra hon sjunger!

[Sonya140991]

Bravo Frida! Такая красавица, я очень её люблю)))

[Tracymmo]

So nice to hear her voice without other singers or heavy production. Makes you really appreciate what a terrific singer she is. So clear and beautiful.

[fridalyngstad4ever]

♥♥♥

[abbaroxette1]

In the year 1967 two greats Stars was born Anni Frid and Agnetha

This Frida´s performance is amazing!!!!!!

[trent8002003]

Even at this tender age, she's all quiet and composed like a queen.

[alekksandre]

Linda voz, linda melodia, wonderful.

[ABBAInMyHeart]

Her voice is so amazing! She's got full control og it, not a false tone! Love her voice! Wish I had those earrings...

[Magabriella22]

Meu Deus!!! Ela é lindaaa e canta muitoo bem!!! Eu ♥ ela!!!!!!!

ABBA

[WinterChill1000]

How beautiful she was!!!!

[viciousv422]

still is...

[klily11]

<3 anni-frid

[moonflower0924]

If she'd had pretty hair like here during the ABBA years nobody would be saying that Agnetha was the prettier one.

[Fhound]

Though i think few people really thought that...Agnie was the blonde sex bomb, but Frida was the classic beauty of ABBA

[moonflower0924]

From orphan to princess she's a real life Cinderella and so sweet and beautiful

plus she has a wonderful voice :)) I love Frida!

[dadtoava]

Someone needs to write her biography...or she needs to write an autobiography! Her life story is truly remarkable and would make an impressive film as well. I hope that she records again with or without the rest of ABBA.

[moonflower0924]

i've been saying the samething. an autobio book or movie would be amazing! :)

[Vasiliki666]

What an unusual set of questions, initially, I would l have said that they were stupid, condescending....but then one has to put it all into cultural context, the time, Sweden and also the fact that Freda seems unperturbed by his approach....my god, makes you realise how talented Benny and Bjorn were..

[frida1965]

Absolutely fantastic :D

[viciousv422]

She's better. Of the two in ABBA. Of the thousands in the music business. Of all in the world. I love you.

[viciousv422]

WOW she is so beautiful and that voice!

lovely, truely lovelyy.

thanks so much for translating!

[gunnerglory]

That guy thats interviewing her is such a CONDESCENDING PRICK!!!! hahaha I wonder where he is now, bum. Anni-Frid you are AMAZING. My god, what beauty.

[oscrani]

Incredible ! She's amazing, she is fantastic. Singing alive like that, only the goddess can do.

[mire7o91]

OMG she is so innocent and gentle here

I LOVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU FRIDA

U ARE AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(INLOVE) LOl

[mi100ni]

@mire7o91 Så oskyldig o humble, nice to see!

Love U Annifrid!

[Pumpapickels]

I love her voice. Anni-Frid is fantastic woman! :))

[ilovemerylstreep73]

oh, i loove it!!her smile and voice are sooo amazing!!!!!!!

[Corporations8MyBaby]

Check out Frida's Scat-Singing!~Her microphone is made out of hard Swedish chocolate.

[dwarf2006]

EXTRAORDINARIE!!!!BEAUTIFULL

[faisalx74]

stunning... i always prefer her than the other blonde one..hehe.. wished i can go back in time...

[primadonna11]

great, love her voice

[marinalbuqueruqe]

sexy voice(im smile) she's so amaizing! I LOVE YOU FRIDA

[missmarilissa]

adorable!

[saanzacs]

Is she barefoot here?

[ABBAInMyHeart]

No, I think she is wearing some small shoes ; )

She was so cute here, and what a voice!

[MillionthUsername]

That's some good singing! Very cute too.

[laminage]

Her life was so sad in the beginning. Her mother had an affair with a Married German Soldier, she was born illegitimate, her mother was the town pariah who would die soon afterwards. Her grandmother took her to a fortune teller and said she will be rich, famous and even meet royalty and boy was she right. I guess those "Village People" must have felt horrible for the way that they treated her in the past.

[dadtoava]

She is truly Norway's gift to Sweden and the world!

[mire7o91]

my goooooooooooooood !!!!!!!!!!!

BEAUTUFUUUUUUUUUL and she sings so professional and is so cute and talking with this sexy voice

i have no words to say it really

[AbbaChick]

She is beautiful, and the song is very pretty, and I love her earrings!!!

[wpDM34]

Old fasion language by Hyland,

calls AF "ni", today thats insolting,

one say "ni"... when you want to keep a distanse to a person, say "du".

Ni when you speak to a lot of people.

Brittish you= ni or du.

[MAMsMom97]

When I had this posted on my old account, that was explained to me. Very interesting!

[diamondtears6543]

@wpDM34 _ Is not 'insolting' is *insulting*

and Hyland looks quite happy with Frida

i dont think he meant any disrespect.

[Calliuz]

One of the finest five minutes of my life really!

[AbbaChick]

I love this video, Frida is so shy and quite. Aww. So cute. Beautiful song too.

[seanforbe]

What became of her later ?? Well she is one of the girls of ABBA

[MAMsMom97]

Jim knows. He's only trying to be funny. (The key word there is "TRYING.")

[seanforbe]

OIC :-)

[headley62]

Thank you so much for posting these fantastic

talented videos!

[headley62]

Her occupation is the most important in the world. The U.S. should pay mothers with children

a salary. It's unfortunate that motherhood is

taken for granted. Stay at home mothers are helping the world more so than women who work outside the home.

[mimosa27]

Why is this comment thumbed down? It's probably the most important comment here. Everything else is just silly.

[MAMsMom97]

I don't know. I don't have a clue.

[ji61m]

Such a quiet and beautiful young lady Sharon, what ever became of her after this? Oh, and the mail carriers drove in reverse when they delivered the mail...other than that I got nothin. It's gonna be one of those weekends!

[MAMsMom97]

Well, our mail carriers don't have any of those fancy red, white, & blue mail trucks. They drive late-model S-10 Blazers and Reliant K's.

[ji61m]

Chevy's I can see......But Reliant's...Please!

[MAMsMom97]

I knew you'd have something to say about that. I went there, man: Reliant<Dynasty<New Yorker, etc, all with sucky trannies that are only good for 70K miles, if that many.

[ji61m]

You know what you get when you throw away the dead tranny's don't ya... "BIG" boat anchors!

Go Chevy!!

[MAMsMom97]

*UPDATE* The local carrier with the Reliant either trashed the car or traded it in for a Jeep Cherokee. Good news!

[ji61m]

A jeep...That's not to bad, but what year? It could still be a Chrysler if it's new enough!

[MAMsMom97]

I'll ask Mitch and get back to ya on that.

[MAMsMom97]

*UPDATE* Mitch is still driving the Reliant. It refuses to die.

[ji61m]

You're Kidding! AAArrrgggggggg!

[SHAYMCN]

Frida is very shy and sweet here Sharon

She shows off her rich voice on this tune

We still drive on the left!

[MAMsMom97]

I totally agree, Shay. I always did love the exchange between her and the host on this performance. I just had to post it with the song. It really shows her personality. And I love the answer she gave when he asked her about her occupation.

[MAMsMom97]

As far as driving on the left goes, I could never understand how our rural mail carriers could drive on the right sitting in the passenger seat so they could be closer to the mailboxes. That's just odd. I guess if you do it every day, you get a feel for it.
