Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson who passed away in 2019 after a long battle with a brain tumour, did do a duet with Frida from ABBA, called, "Alla mina bästa år" ("All My Best Years") - from Frida's 1996 album Djupa andetag (Deep Breaths)

[@BadMoonandStars]

Yes, and in the 80s Per Gessle composed the music for Frida's song Threnody.

[@mikesmithson6805]

Thank you Sweden for ABBA and Roxette.. When Abba dissolved in the 80s Roxette became the poster child of Swedens pop..

[@ingvarjensen1088]

Hey, you guys, the same time period? Roxette rocketed to stardom in 1989 with "The Look", that's ten years AFTER ABBA's heyday 😉

[@markcreek487]

Roxette are another Swedish pop group but not like ABBA. They are very good and have lots of great songs. This on was used in the movie Pretty Woman.

[@riaanbehr7976]

More Roxette please. The lead singer, Marie, passed away on 9 December 2019 after a 17 year battle with cancer and a brain tumor. She could sing the phonebook❤️

[@Tom_McMurtry]

I reckon you'll love "The look" by Roxette. ABBA had a tribute motiff in one of their songs on voyage whivh referenced Roxette's song listen to your heart (another decent one by Roxette). Perhaos due to Marie's recent passing in 2019.

[@John-gv2ug]

When Marie sadly passed away, Per said in tribute "She put the colour in my black and white songs".

[@edmonguy]

Tyler's all double-X today! Roxette songs to get a better feel of the band from: Dangerous, The Look, Church of Your Heart, Sleeping In My Car, Fading Like A Flower, Dressed for Success, Paint, Spending My Time. Being a male/female Swedish band, they'll always get the ABBA comparisons, but musically were very different. Marie died not that long ago after a lengthy battle with brain cancer... very sad.

[@Lisa-M]

I also recommend "Crash! Boom! Bang!" or the bassflow remake of "The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye".

[@niklaslundh8944]

Joyride! It's amazing how ppl have forgotten that song, think only must've been love was bigger seller in their entire catalogue.

[@bachatamusica]

@@Lisa-M don't forget "How Do You Do" 👍😉

[@Lisa-M]

@@bachatamusica This is a good song but not one of my favourites. 🙂

[@Abbadonhades]

Seeing "Pretty woman" in the background reminds me it's been some time since I last watched that movie. Abba was mainly active between 1972-1982, and had a clear disco style. Roxette was formed in 1986 and were active until 2019 when vocalist Marie Fredriksson died. Their genre is soft rock. Roxettes golden era was between the late 80's to the mid 90's.

[@Abbadonhades]

​@German Morawski You're probably right, I don't know their roots. But after ABBA got famous, their repertoire mainly consisted of ballads and disco music.

[@Aniballuis]

Rip Marie ❤️

[@PictureHouseCinema]

A great 80s sound, one of those tunes that is attached to so many folk's good memories.

[@bobtrouper]

Per Gesslle wrote a song for Frida called Threnody, Frida also dueted with Marie in 1992 at a environmental charity show in Sweden on What A Wonderful World.

[@karlturner9038]

Guys, that's an awesome choice to react to Roxette! That's another great Swedish band and they are truly worthy to be reacted since they have just plenty of amazing songs for that.

[@lenaengell8528]

Yes, THANK YOU SWEDEN for for all your wonderful and awesome artists! Lover from Lena

[@MatsAcane]

The chord change at the end of the chorus is very beautiful

[@gabrielcoutinho2708]

En argentina y toda la tino América la amamos y jamás la olvidaremos a roxette ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mickem4322]

This song was originally written to be a X-mas song with other lyrics.. but Per Gessle got a request for a song to the Movie Pretty Woman and re-wrote the lyrics which resulted in this version.. He is one he.. of a songwriter !!.. R.I.P. Marie, but also to Pelle Alsing.. the drummer who passed away only one year after Marie.. He was a sweet soul, I used to meet him at the local cafe/kiosk Cafe Brasco here in Stockholm !! Thank you for the Music !!

[@badlongon525]

Roxette's lead vocalist Marie Frederiksson and ABBA's Frida Lyngstad had a duet song entitled "Alla Mina Bastå Ar". Hope you will react to it. 🙂

[@petegtorcan]

She and Frida were good friends. Rosette had a few really big hits in the late 80s. Definitely a part of the pop soundscape of the late 80s.

[@bachatamusica]

I saw Roxette live in Boston in 1992 during their "Join The Joyride World Tour". Marie Fredriksson sang with Frida in Europe (during one of Roxette's European tours). My favorite song from them is "Joyride".

[@bachatamusica]

I recommend "Listen To Your Heart", it has a great video, which was filmed in a very old Swedish castle.

[@elin4784]

You should definitely check out more Roxette!!! Abba are from the 70ts, Roxette are from the 80ts and then we have another really good group from Sweden, from the 90ts called “ace of bace” that you should check out!!! They’re really good, you’ll won’t be disappointed!!! I would recommend “the sign” by ace of base☺️

[@christophermilner1808]

Per Gesle is a truly great songwriter.

[@henrikechers9995]

Roxette - "Joyride", "Anymore", "Queen of Rain"

[@terrykemp1876]

Try Joyride by Roxette. Big ol' pop song!

[@EMWMIKE]

Love Roxette, next really big export from Sweden after the abba era 85-95

[@javierlb7826]

Hey guys, Roxette was one of the most famous bands in 8os and 90s. This song reached #1 on the billboard and in many countries and was included in Pretty Woman's movie. They recorded many hits, and you can react to Joyride, fading like a flower, crush boom bang, spending my time...Love your channel

[@zaklina.4822]

Yeah, Roxette was one of the most famous band, and somehow I can't believe these kids (i'm not much older than them) doesn't know their songs... All the radios are still playing their hits, even 30 years later. Now I won't be surprised if these kids haven't heard about a music band like Queen or ABBA...

[@josue-joshuacordova3847]

ABBA, Roxette, Ace of Base, Avicii great Swedish acts

[@tapanim6576]

Roxette are amazing. Please more Roxette reactions, they have so many great songs.

[@thehoogard]

Roxette's amazing. Marie's voice is that of an angel :)

[@charleswilliams6236]

This song is an awesome song

[@mitchellquartero]

This song was soundtrack for the 1990 movie pretty women

[@jesicadpsc]

Roxette did three worldwide tours and more than 3,5 million people went to their concerts. They sold 80 million albums around the Globe. 4 number one in the USA. The first band who played in the MTV Unplugged outside the USA. And many other achievements that I forgot. Definitely Roxette had nothing to do with Abba, the only similarity is that both band are Swedish but Sweden have a lot of good musicians.

[@kentjohnson1229]

A lot of people liked this one. It reached #1!!

[@SebastianPerezG]

Fun fact, this song was a christmas song .... but they change it for the movie.

[@birgittae9046]

This song is in the film Pretty Woman with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.

[@rowaystarco]

Gotta check out some of Sigrids songs as well: Strangers, Mirror, Dynamite. A lot of great songs

[@marissa6805]

Omg I've been waiting for someone to suggest her because I think Tyler would love her music!

[@abrahamesteban4808]

Muy buenos recuerdos ☺️

[@Robskicamden]

You will Love Roxettes, Spending my time

[@hakanlennholm3331]

Their producera Clarence Öfwerman plays the keyboards. Fantastic. Maybe he is responseble for the wonderful keychange ❤️

[@plerpplerp5599]

This is a good song to play at a wedding. Just kidding. 🤭

[@thankyouforthemusic4881]

Up there with Agneta vocally. RIP Marie.

[@niklaslundh8944]

Not really, but she was great, no doubt an worldwide star singer though.

[@sonic3dblastdude]

Roxette is not just a sequel to ABBA, it’s also a prequel to to PG Roxette and ABBA: Voyage.

[@RalphWigg1]

The video is a mix of Roxette & 'Pretty Womam'

[@Phonik.]

Try Listen to your heart, you won't be dissapointed

[@guentherk.1082]

You dont know this movie? Pretty Woman. I miss a reaction like "Oh look, Julias Roberts and Richard Gere! But I think you dont know them. The film saw the highest number of ticket sales in the US ever for a romantic comedy. The film grossed US$463.4 million worldwide and at the time of its release 1990, was the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.

[@CB-ci5ys]

This song was from Pretty Woman and was originally a Christmas Song!!! Weird right? Also, Roxette and their songs hold up better than most songs these days.

[@RolandDeschain1]

The Swedes sure know how to write a song.

[@christophermilner1808]

Marie makes me think of Amy Grant.

[@nealwhaley63]

Make-out music from the ‘80s. This and “These Dreams” by Heart.

[@bobbyyounger7632]

Abba's influence on pop culture. React to these Abbaesque groups tunes: The Cardigans 'Love Fool' then Ace Of Base 'The Sign' and from America the country rock group Little Big Town 'Pontoon'

[@ekixman_6693]

It’s ROXETTE with just One X

[@jay_ooh]

I mean I'm sure people are gonna come for me but whatever...I love ABBA and it's not an insult AT ALL...but I really believe that Ace of Base were more of an ABBA sequel...in a more cheesy poppy way, it was the same set up (2 guys, 2 girls) and they were Swedish, and the guys wrote all of the material. The songs weren't nearly as good as ABBA but they had the desire that's for sure, another group that captures the essence of ABBA is Steps...who were huge in the UK and other parts of the world in the late 90's and early 2000's but then broke up in 2002, only to reunite in 2017 for another album which was AMAZING ("Tears On The Dancefloor), Steps definitely has the harmonies of ABBA, and have bright happy sounding songs with very dark lyrics.

[@polmus]

Something i TOTALLY adore, people nowadays: nah, kinda ok.

[@Irishguy1978]

1990 pretty woman movie soundtrack

[@MarceloAugusto-ym8oz]

Love Marie fredriksson

[@charleswilliams6236]

It's on pretty woman

[@archit2894]

please react to Now United's lean on me and One love and if you want savannah singing, you can react to golden, savannah has sung the song completely, my english doesnt sound right but ig you got what I'm saying, pleeeeeeease

[@Bandido894]

There's no similarity in music style between Abba Roxette, except both are pop and from Sweden, not Ace of Base in 90's either.

[@fredrikmoller629]

They have one thing in common that both Benny and Per have talked about. Swedish melancholy

[@Bandido894]

@@fredrikmoller629 Actually another pure musical connection Threnody is originally made and performed by Per and Frida has covered it in her solo record 1982. I meant considering Roxette being more pop-rock.

[@spackar2720]

Hello. Abba and Roxette are from the same country, Sweden. However they are not from the same time period. Abba became famous in the seventies. Roxette became famous in the eighties and nineties. I also must disagree with you regarding your review of this song. "It Must Have Been Love" is a wonderful power ballad. The vocal performance of Marie Fredriksson is beautiful, sensitive, and powerful. The lyrics are poetic, and profound. The lyrics are not "empty" and they do not "hinder" the song. I think that the two of you seriously misjudged this song.

[@sirjohnmara]

Yeah, musicians used to play music instruments. Very strange concept... :-) Not to mean to you two :-) Also you can't compare to ABBA - it's one of best groups of all time!

[@tomrox2]

Roxette si everything. It s fool You talk that You never heard them

[@TboneSteak1992]

English please?

[@siv-annsjostrom347]

R.I.P Mari Fredriksson Why talk about Abba?

[@TylerCreatesContent]

thats where we got the suggestion to react to roxxette, so we wanted to make comparisons to see if that was the reason it was suggested! :)

[@tomrox2]

Don t You know roxette? Do You live on planeth earth!!??? They are like they beatles. Veryyy popular

[@jay_ooh]

@@tomrox2 The Beatles... That's a bit extreme, alot of people don't know of Roxette..

[@jay_ooh]

Well you talk about ABBA when you refer to Roxette mainly because the Swedish connection of course... But there's a lot of similarities in the songwriting, the melancholy, the melodies, and vocally the male paired with female vocals are on point in similar to ABBA

[@jeremiah8012]

react to nba youngboy “achievements” pls

[@jorgenadernazur4770]

It is not a sequel ! Roxette is more rock or soft rock and it sounds better than ABBA. Gretings from Argentina !

[@jay_ooh]

Better than ABBA... Hmmm you sure about that? 🤔🤔🤔

[@jorgenadernazur4770]

@@jay_ooh 😊 I really like ABBA but I think Roxette is better in their kind of music Greetings from Argentina !!

[@zaklina.4822]

Sorry, but something is wrong here. Roxette was very popular band all over the world around 80's and 90's, and still I'm sure, some radios are playing their songs. Somehow I can't believe You don't know Roxette, or You have never heard that song before. I would understand if you don't know Jason Donovan, or Samantha Fox, but Roxette? It's unbelievable for me.

[@flugsven]

I like this song, because of Marie, but Roxette on the whole was never for me. There was something missing, i m h o .

[@fedorshefer1634]

Out of curiosity - are you guys homeless???

[@marissa6805]

No, it's just easier for us to film in a car.

[@juany1031]

No at all. Roxette sing pop rock
