Frida’s vocals are stellar - so clear and sharp on this one. She’s my favourite. ❤

[@jeyoung65]

This song is about Cassandra (means "she who entangles men"), in Greek mythology was the daughter of Priam and Hecuba, king and queen of Troy. The god Apollo, enamored of her, granted her the power of prophecy but, when she rejected him, he sabotaged that power with a curse that no one would believe her predictions.

[@supastah68]

Frida is the bomb. I met her in 2010 when ABBA was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She was gorgeous and gracious and let me take a picture with her. My hero.

[@craignotgreg547]

I'm jealous. That's awesome!

[@oraxxxx]

This is pure love🎉❤

[@TheFridaFan]

Frida's punk hair! I love it. I think she looks amazing here. It might be harsher than what we are used to, but it was the 80s! I also really like Agnetha's sweater dress.

[@richardkane4869]

It says so much for ABBA that they have so many beautiful gems of songs like this tucked away on B sides or album tracks, ready for those that still mine through their work to discover and delight in. This is an incredible confection full of the melancholic joy that only ABBA could bring to a song, where every breath taking note is followed by even more breathtaking note. Frida's warm, sonorous, voice has a sad wistful edge that fits the lyrics and is complemented perfectly by Agnetha. ABBA's sun was fading in 1982 as musical tastes had shifted on to new styles, but the dying rays of that sun yielded some of the darkest, most (then) modern, aching, and mature work of their career. Frida, and ABBA, have seldom sounded better.

[@hovergrl]

This song is sort of a lost gem. Frida’s voice is simply outstanding and it sounds so crisp. The song is based on Greek mythology, Cassandra was a seer/oracle who could predict and see the future. Love Frida’s hair in this. 😁

[@TangoEliott]

One of my favorite Frida songs....

[@theresenydahl9531]

Frida's voice is so distinct, unique and beautiful, you can immediately tell when she sings❤ Thank you for another great video reaction!❤🇸🇪

[@Bklynreau]

Couldn't agree more!

[@eduardooscar309]

Thank you for these new reactions in these ABBA Week This video is from a 1982 German TV Special with three songs: "The day before you arrived", "Cassandra" "Under Attack" It was one of ABBA's last television performances, on November 11, 1982, coincidentally the day of my 25th birthday. (40 years passed, today I am 65) "Cassandra" is a B-side to one of ABBA's two latest singles, with "The day before You came" on the A-side. In my personal opinion I like "Cassandra" better, it's beautiful, with a great Frida on lead vocals and a powerful chorus with Agnetha ABBA had great lyrics, some more sad or melancholic, but this is inspired by a prophetess from ancient mythology in Greece guitarist Björn has written lyrics with other historical themes, already with "Fernando" in 1976 (thinking about the Mexican revolution) as with "The Piper" in 1980 (based on The Pied Piper of Hamelin) It would be great if you end the sequence with the last one next time: "Under attack" (ABBA's last official single, until their 2021 comeback) Thanks again for the new reaction I wish you a great week My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

Frida's early 80s post divorce punk look with pink hair is legendary! Everything about it is so cool. The guy is wishing ABBA happy 10th anniversary and saying that they'll probably have a lot of hits in the future. However, this is one of their last performances together for almost four decades. After that they went on a break that lasted until 2021. Frida did a great solo record the same year as this recording, 1982. It was the most succesful of any of the ABBA members solo attempts. The official video for the single 'Something's going on' is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmqbgZ2qiMuBjdE

[@Vikinggirl1679]

I believe it was said Benny liked her long hair so after he dumped her that was the first thing that went with him lol. As if to say I'm free

[@geofffield7603]

[@andrewjenkinson7052]

You must watch "ABBA The Last Video" and its "the Making Of...". You will see Frida as she has never been seen before or since!

Frida actually made some of their costumes at the very early days of their career.

[@ИринаБондаренко-щ7ч]

Анни-Фрид, браво!!! Anni-Frid, bravo!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JayArgonauts]

You’ve got to admire Frida. Along with the tremendous success she has also experienced hardships. Her mother died when she was only a baby and her father who she believed was killed in WWII made contact via another relative after having read about her family circumstances in a German magazine article. I think Frida found it hard to bond with him as she was reported as saying it was difficult getting a father at the age of 32 or words to that effect

[@Train-mo2rj]

What an irony cos she was singing in the land from where half of her genes and blood came. Norwegian by birth, Swedish by immigration and marriage, German by ancestry. Some people often cast Frida as the sad one but I tend to focus on the brighter side of life. Having an absent dad or a deceased mom as a child is better than having an abusive, alcoholic or drug-addict mom and or dad. The important part is that she was raised by her loving grandmother who allowed and encouraged her to pursue her dream which is singing and she became one of the famous people in the world. Her daughter passed away young but left Jonathan her son to her mom Frida. So a part of her daughter will always live in Frida till the end of her time. Frida didn't lose it all. Her blessings when counted one by one pale any of her griefs in comparison.

[@jameshaberkorn8728]

Abba and you helping wind down a day. Great job. Thanks for the abba.

[@helenpeterson]

Cannot add anymore, its all been covered. Great job Jarreau.

thank you!!!!

So sweet 💜💜💜💜💜

[@МарияСмурова-ъ3ф]

This is an Ancient Greece myth. Cassandra was a Troyan predictor. She predicted the fall of Troya. But as she rejected Apollo's love, he punished her by making no one believe in her predictions.

[@paulecrosby2006]

Once again , it's a great reaction . 😂

[@Bklynreau]

lol thank u

[@panaydunn8535]

Hello another great reaction, keep them coming. You know the quality of the singing and music is superb. Frida does shine in this song. It is superb.

Thank u!

[@williamclarke5658]

You Dit It Again - You Made Me Laugh One More Time HaHa !!! Keep Up The Fun !!!

[@Bklynreau]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@The_Jupiter2_Mission]

Cassandra was a reworking of another song they rejected Put On Your White Sombrero. I actually prefer Sombrero although that one had an incomplete proper backing track. Frida's vocal is even better on that one.

[@Lisa-M]

This guy's name is Michael Schanze and he said that these bunches of flowers include ten roses, one for every year of their career. And for as many future songs as possible they will also get this bouquet which he couldn't carry but as they have their own airplane they can easily take it with them. 😄 If he had known that this was their last appearance in Germany...

[@Ms.E123]

Thanks Lisa, good thing you answered his question, I could only understand bits and pieces of what he was saying, as I don't speak that much German.

[@Lisa-M]

@@Ms.E123 You're welcome 🙂

[@Ms.E123]

Yes Benny is an outstanding pianist, not to mention composer! And get: this Benny doesn't read or write music, he IMPROVISES whenever he is playing! And he never uses sheet music when performing, even if it's other peoples music as "You remember a good song" (!)

[@eskayberlin2855]

What about reaction Videos to FRIDA "Twist In The Dark" & "Shine". I love her Solo Songs ❤

[@stevebrown661]

Hi friend! Love your streams. You'r welcome to Stockholm enytime! 🥰🙂

[@craignotgreg547]

Interesting pick. Awesome Frida vocals. The Day Before you Came was also part of this performance. Just love Agnetha in the video. Love her seducing looks on the train. Probably my favorite video by them. Really, really love your Ethusiasm dude! Gotta check you out on another video.

[@Bklynreau]

thanks alot brother i have too many vids to watch lol

[@TangoEliott]

Did you google it? Never mind. Yes, Benny is a great pianist.

[@patrickhicks9880]

It's a crime this song was just a b-side the story of Cassandra is from Greek mythology

[@rubenrodriguez296]

Hi Brokly Reau: Enjoyed this reaction, as expected. What do you think of Frida's short hair style here? On another note, I recommend you react to the following: 1-Lay All Your Love On Me 2- The Visitors 3-Move On 4- I Let The,Music Speak 5-As Good as New 6-Like An Angel Slipping Through My Room The group broke up the year of this video, and released a new album in 2021. I recommend the following songs from that album: 1-I Still Have Faith In You 2-When You Danced With Me 3-Don't Shut Me Down 4-Bumblebee 5-I Can Be That Woman Look forward to more,ABBA reactions!😂🎉

[@Bklynreau]

Those outfits have to be the worse in ABBA history, the 80's the decade fashion went to die. (Hey I wore the clothes!)

@Chloe-Nina2008 They looked great at Eurovision and the glam rock was garish but the girls still looked super cute in ring Ring and Honey, honey. Just showbiz of the time. Hot women in spandex might not be great fashion but it is still light years ahead of these monstrosities. It is hard to make two of the most beautiful women in the world look frumpy and clownish, but mission accomplished here.. There were too many browns and oranges in the 70's but women's fashion was generally pretty cool and a lot of the stuff has reappeared in the following decades. Still, it is all opinion isn't it, and everyone has a different sense of taste and style
