6:48 I didn't understand at all what made you laugh so much I guess I was looking at something else🤢

[@Bekka_Noyb]

One of the best sad/love lost songs ever made! ♥

[@ronda.8624]

I recommend you a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro with the song "El perdón" she is a singer that transmits a lot when she sings and has incredible melismas. She is also very versatile when it comes to singing. She sings different musical styles. Best regards

Björn and Benny,... Legends in the sport of Song-writing..!!!

[@WinstonSmith19847]

The word genius is used too much but I think it applies to those two guys.

[@willbodek702]

One of the Greatest songs 🎵 ever wrote 🙌 😢😊

[@mathsjesperson8432]

I have met Björn and Benny many times, but never the two girls. I was in the same TV-show as Björn already in 1969, when I was 15 years old. And in 2007 I, together with Björn and Benny were at the same poster, as the main speakers at a conference in the Royal Library in Stockholm about the author Vilhelm Moberg (I talked about his dramas and they talked about how they wrote the musical "Kristina from Duvemåla"). Björn is a bit reserved when you talk with him, but very polite. Benny is very easy to talk with. He is just like any ordinary guy you happen to meet in the street, Benny is the real genius of the group. He is still pouring out a stream of hit songs for various artists, and he has his own band of Swedish folk musicians.

[@dasmaurerle4347]

Agnetha is the real star...what a voice!❤🍻

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

@mathsjesperson8432 : Although not sure how far Benny's wonderful melodies would resonate with so many people's emotions without the depth of Bjorn's lyrics which give the songs meaning and relateability. I think it is pairing of the two of them that led to success. As Bjorn also said, it also took the girls voices, looks and personalities to add the magic. As solo careers none of them flew that high, so it was the combination of the 4 that made ABBA so polished and unique. But undoubtedly it is the fabulous melodies that everything else is built on. 🤍

Most of Abba's video's was directed by a young Lasse Hallström. Later he went to Hollywood and made, among others, Gilbert Grape, The shipping news, Chocolat and Ciderhouse rules.

[@catschorus4684]

What a bizarre reaction, never seen anyone react who thought the video was funny. Think you must have some warped thinking. Btw her name isn't Agatha ...............

[@deniseallen5233]

Completely agreed. Most people think this song is so sad. It's really not very questionable what it means. It's very clearly a breakup song. Why is this funny?

[@StuartJack]

Such a bizarre reaction, you have some weird things pinging around in your head man.!

The song is so obvious and absolutely self explanatory. What are you talking about! Spoilt it totally.

[@MarkMcLT]

They completely missed the emotional weight of the song. This poor woman, crushed by lost love, is pouring out her broken soul, and all they can do is giggle.

[@juanignaciovargaslallement5073]

Exacto, no tienen ni idea del alma de Agnetha. Es una de las canciones mas tristes y hermosas de la historia del pop.

[@eduardooscar309]

So glad to see you again discover more ABBA songs ABBA in the begining was two swedish couples, meet in 1969: A- Agnetha (blonde singer) & B- Björn (guitarist songwriter productor) B- Benny (pianist songwriter productor) & A- Anni Frid 'Frida' (brunette singer) Agnetha & Björn married in 1971, with two Young childrens Benny and Frida married in 1978, withouth own childrens both couples separated before the breakup of ABBA in 1982: Agnetha & Björn at end of 1978 Benny & Frida at begin 1981 "The winner takes it all" (1980) is one of the Best Songs by ABBA and the Most sad and emotional too The best lyrics by the guitarist Björn and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation of the blonde singer Agnetha Fältskog and her soprano voice The lyrics is a fiction about a divorce, it is not about Their real life, although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences and the realization of the legal divorce between Agnetha & Björn in the middle of 1980, even though They were no longer a couple or lived together more than a year and half ago, at the end of 1978 In fact, the song was more nearly in time to the split of Benny & Frida as a couple, only a few months later "The winner takes it all" return ABBA to the Top of the charts, gives ABBA their eighth #1 in UK after almost 2 1/2 years Also was the fourth and last Top10 to ABBA in U.S (pick at #8 in 1981) , and #1 in US Adult Contemporary too "The winner takes it all" was voted the Best ABBA song by the British fans, and is the favourite ABBA song to the blonde singer Agnetha and now in the new Voyage concerts at London that begins exactly one year and half before, the encore song is... "The winner takes it all" That's are my next suggestions: official video of "Super Trouper" or live perfomance of "Waterloo" at Eurovision 1974 in UK I wish to You a nice week my best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

Love this backgrounder! Thx for sharing. Didn't realize it was about divorce!

[@WinstonSmith19847]

This song hurts my heart the words the singing and that piano.

[@MichaelNadin-b8k]

Really ? This is the most beautiful heartbreaking song ever written, and must have been really hard for Agnetha to sing, written by bjorn her ex, not long after their divorce, Agnetha pours her heart and sole into it and you can feel her pain, how does this make you laugh ? I could cry everytime i hear it. This is a masterpiece and ABBA'S best

[@Kim_Kardashcam]

Exactly! Agnetha (not Agatha) is miserable 😭and Charley Chuckles sits there making up shite about "the true meaning". The actual lyrics ARE the true meaning! It shows what a great performer Agnetha was. 😡

[@lawrenceb5236]

This song, along with Dancing Queen, are my favorites from ABBA. And those 2 songs have nothing in common with each other. And, leave it to John to think of a 3some. It’s just about a breakup, lol.

[@ModernTalkingCentral]

That's my all-time favorite ABBA song right there.

[@270yis7]

I remember this song being played during the postgame coverage of Super Bowl XV back in 1981. The Eagles had just lost to the Raiders, and this song was played during postgame coverage of the Eagles' locker room, where the disappointment and deflation contrasted with the celebration going on in the Raiders' locker room. I was rooting for the Raiders, but kind of felt sorry for the Eagles.

[@simonerognas8226]

I love watching reactions but how come you react to something you've already seen/heard before? Takes away the thrill for me 😊

[@Blueridge1961]

I was pretty close to follow your channel before you came up with your weird interpretation... You shouldn't do any more ABBA-reactions, they just soil the beautiful art they've left for the world to enjoy... Go on reacting to music you really like, but do me the favor and stay away from ABBA. Neither your heart nor your brain are able to understand their magic.

[@danielolson5378]

When this song came everyone assumed it was about the break-up/divorce between Agnetha and Björn. Well themselves especially Björn denied it for years. Eventually he did admitted it was partly inspired by their situation. Björn wrote the song at their summer house in the archipelago outside Stockholm with the company of a bottle of Scotch. Agnetha broke down in tears first time she read the lyrics and says it's her favorite song with ABBA. If you took the time to actually listen to the lyrics you'll understand why she's walking alone why she's in focus 🤦‍♂ . I wonder who the clueless one really is🤦‍♂

[@joperriisalovelygirl]

She is sad because Bjorn left her. Their marriage was just over and it was written as their breakup song. They were married for a very long time and had a child together

[@sasapejcin3568]

What a stupid reaction to this sad and heartbreaking song! She talks about divorce and you are laughing!

[@fernandof.2225]

this song breaks my heart each time. This song is about Agnetha divorce/separation. Let me guide you on how to listen to this song: you don't move, you don't sing along, you listen to the lyrics (which are the most important thing on this song) and you watch Agnetha's expressions during the video, which breaks my heart how sad she looks on multiple moments. There is also no doubt that the performance was extraordinary. Laughing during the song was kind of disrespectful for the people that loves this song.

[@brianfagan3367]

Worth checking out the Allie Sherlock cover it is outstanding imo

[@daveloboda1769]

Did you even listen to the lyrics of this sad, beautiful song? There is nothing funny about it and as for menage a trois, ridiculous, it is about divorce and how painful it can be. I won't be watching any more of your garbage.

[@Kim_Kardashcam]

OMG do some research. Bjorn the guitarist wrote this song when going through a divorce from his wife Agnetha the blond singer. The song was so good they managed to convince Agnetha to sing it solo. She performs it flawlessly but you can see the pain in her eyes with every word she sings. He dumped her for another woman who looks like her slightly younger TWIN. She is miserable!

Well, the reactor has gotten a very weird reaction regarding the end of the video clip. He has had a very confused understanding with the other girl who is taking a walk between the guys. But it was because he didn't understand that the singer was talking about her and her husband who got divorced from her. What a mess he did. Sorry, but I'll have to give it a thumbs down for the very first time among the thousands of reactions I have seen until now.
