ABBA-Why Did It Have To Be Me Australia '77

[Tanskuspyro98]

Frida Lyngstad is the best singer I know.

[ColinVanderheide]

Frida was the sexy one in the group and her voice golden...not taking it away from the rest they were all great, but Frida certainly did not attain the attention as she should have.

@inhock check out friedas cameltoe @ 0.48 !

[flowerlower005]

I don't think that ABBA ever cared about who was a bigger star then anather!! They were ABBA ... no more or ... no less.

[fortinero45]

Frida era muy buena ,asi como tanto Benny como Bojrn,pro no me cabe duda que Agnetha era la estrella y no por su trasero sino que fue la mejor cantante pop del mundo.Ella tenia angel propio ,sin ella abba no hubiera existido

[Trimadian65]

Wow go Frida. Both girls are lovely in looks and voices, but Frida had it!

[123456fdsat]

IMÁDOM!!!



[urchin76]

Got dragged screaming nooooooooooo by my g/f at the time to watch Abba live--- 30 years later havent seen a better live act...they were and still are brilliant,,, urchin 4 life,,, lfc

[Ivonne0423]

 DIVAS...!!!!!!!

[ApacheTim]

@inhock Frida was not afraid to "Shake It!" I think BOTH of them filled out their stage clothes real nice! Benny ruled out a reunion concert. But who is to say they cannot do a studio reunion? Just my opinion!

[textomkat]

check out Fridas's cameltoe @  0.49

[mattanaih]

GREAT voice, highly underappreciated. Frida forever! and I want that hat!

[MaryJonasBieberBruno]

For me the main attraction was Björn *___*

[Double00AA]

Frida looked older, I think that's it. And her butt was smaller (and firmer) than Agnetha's.

[Sonya14091991]

@Double00AA Frida was born in 1945 Anna in 1950, DO YOU KNOW THIS????

[Trimadian65]

@Sonya14091991 so...

[Sonya14091991]

@Trimadian65 я не тебе ответила, а тому, кто не знает сколько ей лет

[Farewelltoarms88]

One of the best ABBA songs. I love it very much.

[paulseattleusa]

WOW!!! I wonder if Madonna watched this before she got started.

[Trimadian65]

@paulseattleusa Madonna was very influenced by ABBA, the most recent popular example being getting permission from ABBA to adapt Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie! in her music.

[paulseattleusa]

WOW!!!

[paulseattleusa]

Just the fact that there are so many comments about Agnetha not being there proves how important she was. No Agnetha = no Abba. Everyone else would have been replaceable.

[23pair]

I love Frida. I always thought Frida was immensely hotter than Agnetha. I am still surprised after all these yars that most people actually think Agnetha was hotter. How can that be?? Lok at her face, her legs, eyes...how does Agnetha even compare? she is just average, but Frida is GORGEOUS.

[menininhakel]

I do not think that is the main Agnetha of ABBA, on the contrary, the two share the same talent, the same beauty, and the same sympathy. Are equal to me, although I prefer much more to Frida by the way you are, the more the two are excellent. And this song is perfect to be sung without the presence of Agnetha, because it need not be at all. And the two together + Bjorn and Benny, ABBA form. Frida would miss without an A, not the ABBA! Frida razed *-* perfect, as always.

[ABBAHEARTDAVID]

I've been wondering why agnetha isn't in the video, the songs still great frida does a wonderful job but i missed agntha in there her and frida really harmonize well together :)

[LadyTwentySeven]

Frida rocks in this video!

[fangbangerlmg]

My favourite ABBA song ever---why wasn't it a single???

[Veraxxxx]

I like this song so much and I think it is a bit underrated. Frida rocks in here and it is nice to see live performance from this. Greatest group of all time.

[lordaeron4ever]

timeless

[queentoni22]

smokin!

[iamanabba]

Agnetha.is.the.voice.beauty.of­.Abba.

[CanadaAuroraBorealis]

@iamanabba Anyone who thinks Frida is not beautiful or does not have a fantastic voice in this song or in Super Trouper or in Fernando, that person must be mentally ill, or must be another Gert Van Der Graaf focussed insanely on the blonde, which is what "iamanabba's" comments sound like....here and everywhere else!!!

[iloveabba100]

@iamanabba Grow.up.

[dougalina123]

@inhock Frida, honestly, was always my fave...but that's not to take anything away from Agnetha...But Frida just seemed to have more fun on stage. And she was and still IS, quite beautiful!!!  And that velvety smooth, rich voice of hers!!! Wow...

You know, I remember buying the albums...and couldn't wait to see what was going to be in the record stores....always hoping for something new from them.

Good times!!!!

[chcjcc]

I have never seen this version before. I was constantly looking for Agnetha, I very faintly seam to hear her voice on the CD

ABBA is a four member group and when one is missing it is, just not right...

[urchin76]

all four members of Abba needed the other 3... they were the ultimate pop group of all time... nuff said

[mysweetlizzie]

great and great looking. thank you

[2doom]

Excellentt!!!!



[LilChuckyWoodenHead]

The FUNNY thing about this video is that Agnetha is missing AND they had Freida hopping about like a Mexican jumping bean to compensate for the missing member. She ended up looking rather silly trying to move around enough for 2 people !

[ckdicks]

@LilChuckyWoodenHead I respectfully disagree that she looked silly. I think she looks very sexy in this video. I like her bouncing around on the stage. It's a little flirtatious, but beautifully so! :)

[royraaijmakers]

man o man, that one show!! i wish i was there, i'd sell my guitar, my piano and my bed just to buy me a ticket for a show!!

[impassable]

Frida's performance here is one of the best I have ever seen. The guys too

[arosforever]

Frida and Agnethas voices complemented each other so darn great. Must be the best vocal duo ever.

[Beatrycia]

Frida was/is a real woman and Agnetha is just cute .and is Frida how have the charisma Agnetha is just blond .

But they are great and they never will be forget :)

[llojsan]

agnetha was naturally blonde, not bleeched...

[nadja5890]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!Without Frida or without Agnetha ABBA would not exist and never get a sucess!! hey!just look at their World Wide Hits!!! Lead: Knowing me knowing you-FRIDA...Ciquitita-Agnetha,­Money Money Money-FRIDA,Gimme,gimme,gimme-­AGNETHA,I have a dream -FRIDA,The winner takes it all-AGNETHA,Fernando-FRIDA,Sup­er Trouper-FRIDA......Please!That is prouve that ABBA would never became a famous without Frida or Agnetha!

[AbbaWatcher]

Tonight, March 15 2010, Abba will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Frida and Benny are scheduled to be there.

Although they are a Pop Band, there are many Music Performers from other styles that are honored in the Rock Museum: disco, reggae, blues, soul, etc.

It took a long time, but I suppose the music community in general could finally not deny Abba's righful place there, it is more a case of the RockHall being good enough for Abba, not Abba good enough for the RockHall.

[Tolp2339]

Agnetha just didn´t take part in this song. The girls leadsings different songs and sometimes together.

[bourlivak88]

Agnetha was probably switching her costume during this song because the next song was Thank you for the music, as part of the minimusical "The girl with golden hair", Agnetha sang solo, then Frida sang solo in "I wonder" and then there were two songs with both girls: "Get on the carousel" and "I´m a marionette".

[Eightiescandy]

GO FRIDA GO!!!

[fortinero45]

Frida is true is very talented but has the angel of agnetha, besides the sound of Abba gives agnetha.Ella is sensual and has a part of innocence and a very sexy woman, that mixture makes Agnetha is unique and irreplaceable

[fortinero45]

Es cierto frida es muy talentosa pero no tiene el angel de agnetha,ademas el sonido de abba lo da agnetha.Ella es sensual y tiene una parte de inocencia y otra de mujer muy sexy,esa mezcla hace que agnetha sea unica e irremplazable

[Rita1972]

People need to finally admit that Agnetha wasn't the main attraction of ABBA. I believe it's the media's fault why Frida was overlooked so much! Frida was a beautiful woman, she was a strong part of ABBA just like Agnetha was. I hurt for Frida because that woman was a master of her trade, but Agnetha's butt and bleached blonde hair grabbed media's attention. Mind you, I love them all, but I am upset about this injustice toward Frida.

[markserjeant]

I agree with a lot of what you have to say but agnetha was not a bleached blonde!

[bourlivak88]

@Rita1972 well..Frida was a much better entertainer, but Agnetha was the real face of ABBA..and I don´t like Agnetha because of her butt or hair, but because of her angelic expressive face and voice..

[POOKAYAZ]

VERY NICE

FRIDA WORKED THE CROWD

[nationalsocialist333]

thanks abba

[ABBAInMyHeart]

Love this performance! Frida is really having a good time : D

[jodie4189]

was agnetha defoo ill ?

[dragonquest20]

1977 was the best and the best song

[dragonquest20]

cool

[ABBA1970s]

This is the footage from the movie.I reconise this little clip

[trent8002003]

Frida really carried the song. Beautiful improvisation. No wonder it was said in *Bright light and Dark shadows* that she was more in charge of her craft than Agnetha. Where was Agnetha btw? Was this the Edmonton concert where Agnetha was ill?

[EnzFab73]

Bright Lights Dark Shadows was an awful book and many ABBA fans such as myself despised it. Regardless, its one man's opinion which isn't the gospel BTW. I still prefer the live version with both women singing.. the sound was much richer.

[bourlivak88]

haha Edmonton is not in Australia...

[trent8002003]

*Scratching head*. I never said Edmonton was in Australia!!! Did you by any chance misread *Agnetha* for *Australia*? If so, my advice for you, don't sign any contracts on your own.

[bourlivak88]

no, in the title of this video is clearly written Australia ´77...and you asked if it´s the Edmonton concert..:)

[trent8002003]

First, the title could be wrong. You know, it's youtube. Second, I asked about Edmonton because that was when Agnetha missed the concert because of a scary flight.

[bourlivak88]

so, I have to correct you: Only Agnetha herself didn´t miss any concert, the horrific flight was flight to Boston, yes, she was shocked, but somehow she went through with the Boston concert..the next day they flew to Washington and when she arrived into the hotel, she locked herself in the room..she agreed to let in only the doctor..doctor said Agnetha had 40 degree temperature and was vomiting. So the concert in Washington was cancelled. (they needed doctor´s certificate to it)

[bourlivak88]

And Edmonton was their very first concert in North America, none of them missed that..

[LadyLyngstad77]

Stunning! What a beautiful woman, and just look how she works the stage! And the shorts! :O I suggest anyone who liked this, goes out and buys ABBA The Movie ASAP! This (and Agnetha's SOS) is probably one of the best parts of the movie :)

[larrylew1]

Is it just me or did they have a lot more energy and magic during the Australian tour vs. the North American tour? I love the videos of the N.American tour, but they sure look more, say, tired than on these Australian tour videos.

[dougalina123]

as with any group, it takes ALL the members to add to the mix to make that perfect "fit". You couldn't have had that ABBA sound without Frida's or Agnetha's voice. And no group since, has had such perfect harmony, tonality, and diction as these two beautiful women!! I've collected everything that they've each produced before, during and after ABBA. I just wished they would get back together for old times sake!!!

[agnetha4ever]

Frida was probably equal to Agnetha in looks and talent.I personally prefer Agnetha but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate Frida too.For me this is the best version of this song even though Agnetha isn't in it.

[ccarolallday]

This was out way before the Dukes of Hazzard came on tv so maybe they should call those shorts Fridas instead of Daisys.

[agnetha4ever]

I must say she does look awfully good in those shorts doesn't she.

[imcindi]

I'm kind of new to ABBA so I've never seen any other version of this, but I couldn't imagine how it could be any better. Frida was a really pretty girl in her own right you know.

[agnetha4ever]

Though I agree that Agnetha was/is ABBAs main attraction you simply have to give Frida her due in this one.

[tigereagle84]

"iamanabba: Agnetha is Abba."

No dummy, Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid are ABBA. Get it right dumb animal.

[yellsalot]

What's this? An ABBA video with no Agnetha. Is it an oversight or are you mellowing in your old age?

[agnetha4ever]

Just because I prefer Agnetha doesn't mean there's anything wrong with Frida. I must say though I'd like to have seen Agnetha in those shorts.

[diapheneity]

Now, Agnetha would have looked AMAZING in those shorts.

[Grandpaw2511]

Howdy, I have to agree with you here. Frida looked scorching hot in those shorts but Agnetha in those shorts would have set the stage on fire. Thanks Lenny

[abbafanglosuk]

No stopping Frida when she gets going. Just as well, without Agnetha there.

[agnetha4ever]

This has got to be the only time I'll ever say this, but this video is better without Agnetha. Frida is HOT in this one.

[abbafanglosuk]

Yes Frida's got free reign, so doesn't hold back. It's like she's trying to perform for Aggy as well as herself.
