AMAZING SOLO!!! ABBA | Andante Andante | REACTION!!!!

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

She doesn`t only hold that last note, she sings it changing her sound as she goes. Absolutely gorgeous song and vocals. Fantastic song for her voice. Thank you for the reaction.

[@eduardooscar309]

hello dear friend, happy to see you at our ABBA Journey "Andante Andante" (1980) It is one of the songs from the album "Super Trouper", never performed by ABBA, nor was it made an official video (it remained as a track from the álbum) It is one of the ABBA songs that has a title in another language Italian, like Mamma Mia others are Voulez Vous (French) Fernando and Chiquitita (Spanish) It is a beautiful song of love, romance and eroticism, like no other has ABBA (which is actually more remembered for its songs of breakup and melancholy) Frida's sweet voice is ideal for this soft melody, the chorus is powerful, and it ends with a great solo by Frida Andante Andante is one of the songs that ABBA recorded in Spanish in this album, together with "Happy New Year" Many years later, in 2016, Frida recorded it in Spanish as a soloist, at her 70 years, accompanied by Arturo Sandoval. (oddly enough, before the ABBA reunion) Here I leave the video to see, with the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGPLgaCAiKx-esU I wish you a great new week my best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America

That end note may be one of the longest holds I've heard. At least in ABBA. Both Agnetha and Frida have their special talents. Agnetha can take a note up to the ceiling, and Frida can stretch it out down the street!

[@evedavey2475]

Love it 👍💛

[@danbike9]

Frida and Agnetha both can go high (Eb6). Agnetha pretty much stays in her soprano range. Frida sing all parts: alto, mezzo and soprano. Breathing: Frida used diaphragmatic breathing which gives her support, fullness, and plenty of air in reserve. Agnetha does not use diaphragmatic breathing. She sings from the upper chest.

[@jamesstewart8846]

Abba in the UK in the 1970s was famous for Agnetha's singing. So it is a small irony that this is their best song [in my opinion] but with Frida dominating.

[@TheFridaFan]

@@jamesstewart8846 Hmmm. I wasn't there so I do pretend to know, but Frida had her share of no. ones in the UK, including Fernando, Super Trouper and Knowing Me, Knowing You (which I think was actually the best selling single of its year in the UK). Were the general audiences really that preferential to Agnetha?

[@danbike9]

@@jamesstewart8846 Agnetha is fine. But she has never been in Frida's league. This is no secret. Agnetha fits the standard upper chest pop singer. Tons and tons of those in pop music. Frida's refined ear/control, fullness, warm timbre, etc... makes her sound as if she is classically trained. She has no formal music conservatory school education, but sounds like she has. On a side note: Benny Andersson sound like he too has music conservatory school training on piano. He has not. Frida was noticed as a child for her keen ear/pitch perfect, vocal skills. She has always has always had a stellar reputation among her peers. She was well known among fellow musicians well before she was known by the masses in Sweden. Frida made her name and reputation on the stages, which started while she was in grade school. 1956-58, charity events as she was too young to turn pro. In 1958, she turned 13 and turned pro. She was still 3 years under aged, but hired anyway. Both Frida and Agnetha entered vocal talent hunts. Frida excelled in these vocal centric competitions. She has won local, regional and national levels. In 1964, won National Vocalist. In 1967, another National win and it proved to be her big break into TV, EMI Sweden, etc... Agnetha, pre teen entered vocal talent hunts. She did not do well. In this environment, it is LIVE. An audience. Judges with criticing all aspects of the performance. Agnetha stopped doing talent hunts early on. Live environments, separate the pro's from the amateurs very fast. Frida spent her childhood, teen, early adulthood on the stages singing more and more complex vocal centric genres. This really refined her skills. Agnetha became known via a record label. A generated and marketed pop singer. She was not a solo front and center, live environment on stage performer/entertainer. She did do some, but she is not known for her solo, front and center performances. ______ Re: UK Boom Regarding UK ABBA boom. It happened after the boom in West Germany and Australia and Scandinavia The really big boom in UK happened with the release of 'Arrival' album and the single 'Fernando', which is actually a ABBA cover of Frida's #1 Swedish "Fernando' off of 'Frida Ensam' album (Frida Alone), 1975. There are three 'Fernando's: 1. Vocal Demo, Tango version, Frida 2. Swedish, Frida 3. ABBA, english ABBA's 'Fernando' is the ABBA song that held the longest #1 spot on a major chart, Australia #1 for 14 consecutive weeks. 'Arrival' album & 'Fernando' put ABBA into orbit around the world. 'Arrival' album was #1 in UK and became ABBA's biggest selling album. A huge critical and commercial success. The big 'Arrival'/Fernando era songs: 1. Fernando 2. Dancing Queen 3. Money Money Money 4. Knowing Me Knowing You Love both ABBA girls. But I have always recognized Frida's exceptional ear, vocal skills, diaphragmatic breathing. I then started reading about ABBA/Polar Music and my early opinion on Frida's refined skills was spot on. Frida is the real deal. _____ ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows The Real Story of ABBA By Carl Magnus Palm Frida gets lots of attention, praise from the ABBA/Polar Music Team and her peers that worked and knew her throughout her career. Benny, Bjorn and Michael Tretow - ABBA's recording engineer, considered Frida a master vocalist. Read everything you can from Carl Magnus Palm and also the recent release of 'Frida Beyond ABBA' by a Dutch writer. 'Frida Beyond ABBA' starts before she was even born, which sets up the unfortunate circumstances for which she was born into and how she navigated through her singing career with a life full of tragic events, but always coming out the other end stronger. Both her personal story and her professional story is fascinating.

[@ThatMattOne]

Without a doubt, my favourite reaction to an ABBA song. Pure emotion. Thank you for that. Have you ever seen her singing Dancing Queen solo at the queen of Sweden's 50th in 1993 acapella style. Another beautiful performance.

[@jaxb]

Frida holding that note is really something. Thanks again for such a lovely reaction. 👍🎵🎶🥰🇸🇪

[@Bklynreau]

Thank you too!

[@theresenydahl9531]

Frida has the voice of an angel, thank you for another great video reaction ❤🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️

[@popcult]

Her singing is sublime here: able to express a wide range of emotions in a decisively restrained, subtle way.

[@darrenbertram7289]

One of my all time fave ABBA songs with a gorgeous vocal by our Frida - and she doesn't just hold that last note, she *works* it, yeah! Take a closer listen to the lyrics though; in traditional Swedish fun, it's full of innuendo. "Please don't talk, go on... play; Andante Andante, and let me float away!" (🤔What exactly is he doing to make her float away? 😜)

[@Bklynreau]

mmmm u might have a point 😂😂

[@helenpeterson]

In my top ten ABBA, pure brilliance from Frida holding that end note.

[@Bklynreau]

yea it touch my soul

[@hovergrl]

This song wasn’t one of my favorites at first but it grows on you and now I think it’s definitely underrated. Benny actually bought a boat and named it “Andante”. It’s the same boat they used for the Summer Night City video. Frida crushes it not only once but 3 times. She recorded this song in Spanish as well and recently released it again (in Spanish) back in 2018. She’s got a beautiful voice.

[@mariadasgracasbenevides8015]

Frida tem uma voz encantadora, não me canso de ouví-la cantar❤🌹💯

[@gabx0725]

❤Yes!! I told you this one would be amazing. My favourite Frida's ballad

[@gabx0725]

I am here just wondering if you are aware that Frida is an actual real life princess by marriage?? Her tittle is " Princess Anni-Frid Reuss, Dowager Countess of Plauen"

[@Smgs-ue7tj]

Omg, I love you! haha! This reaction was everything and beyond. I had a great time, and this has always been such an underrated song, and it's sung so beautifully. Thanks again 🤩

[@Bklynreau]

lol thank u!!

[@danbike9]

A poster below is right regarding that last note. More than a hold, she us working that note. She changes it's pitch, bending it... Extremely impressive. Sge has got total control over her instrument.

[@rubenrodriguez296]

Well, Bklyn Reau, it looks like you experienced an "eargasm" when you heard Frida's extended high note at the end of the song.😂

[@Bklynreau]

😂def did

[@panaydunn8535]

Oh man you are so funny. You have to meet Frida! A beautiful song, and yes that high note at the end is incredible. Thanks for another reaction.

[@Bklynreau]

😂😂Thanks so much!!

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Love that song. Nice tribute to Anna-Frid. In the beginning you asked how old she was in that black and white photo. I believe she was 21. She had just won a big singing contest and they brought her to the TV studio to sing it live. She didn't realize they were gonna do that but handled it like a champ. It was a song called En Ledig Dag. You can find the whole performance on KZbin. It's great and really made people take her seriously. They do a short interview before. Oh and it's in Swedish but still beautiful

Bro, what a sick track, man!!! F...k vocals... and f...k slide show... After 50 years or so, they're still the best ones.

[@DeidreL9]

The black and white photo at the start is from Frida’s first tv appearance, she’d just won a contest. I think she was about 22. Her vocals are insane, and at the end she hits the moon! Here’s a link to the video, wait til you hear the questions the host asks her….she has so much dignity, I’d have been stunned❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGiboZ9mrKaIesUsi=8WDtTQuk7dMm6i7g

One of my favourite songs ever. Great reaction. Can I be so bold as to suggest you take a look at Frida singing Dancing Queen acapella for the Queen of Sweden's 50th birthday? Just type in "Frida Dancing Queen acapella 1993" - you won't regret it!

When you get back on your ABBA 'voyage' good Sir, another Frida solo that never fails to bring a tear to my eye is Like An Angel Passing Through My Room from 'The Visitors' album. It drains me how hypnotically beautiful that song is 🤗❤️

About your singing talent one advice; don't quit your day job!😂 If I may give a suggestion, end the week with "like an angel passing through my room" another solo sung by Annifrid, never released as a single, but I real diamant among the lesser known ABBA songs.😂
