TEENAGE HIP-HOP FAN REACTS TO | ABBA - The Winner Takes it All (Official Video) | REACTION !

[@JustinMcCarthy-cy1mv]

I´ll tell you a secret. Sometimes I listen to this song and cry. It is so heartfelt and raw. And beautiful.

[@MrFishface1]

Not only it’s the best song they have ever done (in my opinion), but it’s probably one of the songs ever. Agnetha’s voice is simply stunning, a perfect singing performance.

[@mervinmannas7671]

You have just listened to one of the greatest songs ever compsed. The lyrics were written while Bjorn was getting drunk with a bottle of whiskey following his and Agnetha's divorce. He swore for years it wasnt about them but admitted many years later it was fueled by the emotions of their split. It is said when Agnetha read the lyrics she cried. It was towards the end of ABBA's reign on the charts. And as long i live i will remember hearing this song for the first time. I was 16 and it was a Sunday morning on the radio at my Aunts house after a party. When it finish I went to the bathroom and cried my eyeballs out I had never heard anything so heartfelt and beautiful.

[@mickwelly6123]

yes abba just pure pop gold brilliant.

[@aripaule]

thank you for sharing your feelings @mervin, i think it was a suuuuch experience...

[@stevehulse4005]

One of Agnetha’s best vocal performances on an ABBA record. It almost feels like it’s just Agnetha and Benny on this but Frida’s voice and Bjorns are there in the background and you will be equally amazed when you hear some of Frida’s leads.

[@stevetournay6103]

Frida sings lead on my favourite ABBA song (which doesn't sound very ABBA-like), Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, which was the last track on the original release of The Visitors. Sounds like a haunted music box...

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Our of the finest soprano voices in popular music.

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

This song is supposed to be a fiction, but without a doubt it is at least influenced and also enhanced by the divorce of Björn (who writes it) and Agnetha (who performs it masterfully)... This song is from 1980... already in the most mature period of the band musically speaking. Great video, Chase... see you next time... Happy 2024! ❤️🇨🇱🤗👍

[@TheRatsCast]

This is also near the end of Abba's career. Both couples would divorce, and the 2 ladies would leave the music scene, but not before Anni-Frid Lyngstad or Frida Lyngstad would have a solo album. The guys kept busy writing misgivings for other artists; movie soundtracks, even helping to create the play Mama Mia. They did come back a very recently with a new album, and a virtual tour.

[@pcch7831]

@@TheRatsCast They didn't really leave the music scene, Frida made two albums and Agnetha released three albums in the 80s. Agnetha didn't do anything in the 90s, Frida released her last album and then in the 2000s Agnetha has released three albums although the last one is a remix of the previous one. Personally I love Agnetha's stuff, Frida's didn't work quite as well for me but there are some good songs in there too.

[@peppermintcrush5794]

The guys also wrote two musicals after ABBA. Chess and Kristina från Duvemåla.

[@chrishaas2376]

Both Woman are world class vocalists. Frida I is very versatile. You should try listening to her as lead in a straight Ballad "Cassandra". Also the only time I can remember one of the ladies alone on an ABBA track, "Like an Angel Passing Through my Room". There are countless more by both women. They recorded and released over 120 tracks. At least 80 maybe 90 are incredible.

[@stevetournay6103]

Like An Angel Passing Through My Room is my favourite ABBA song. Almost funereal, and Frida's lead vocal is marvelous.

[@jorgenfrinell5369]

Well, Frida, the dark one sure sing solo on many songs too. Try ”Fernando”, ”I let the music speak”, ”The visitors”…….The best pop group ever in history…..will live forever

[@helenpeterson]

Although you may think Agnetha sings lead mostly they both actually have almost the same amount of lead vocals throughout their very extensive catalogue and many shared lead vocals. The men also have a lot of background vocals and in their early years were very dominant.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

ABBA doesn’t have a biggest song. Too many hits to choose from, equally infectious and/or beautiful.

[@tomnoziglia8385]

Great selection Chase. The Winner Taks it All (1980) is ABBA's Masterpiece. It was recorded right after Agnetha (blonde) and Bjorn finalized their divorce. Bjorn wrote the lyrics, and Agnetha's vocals were raw as the divorce was devistating for her. Later Frida (the red head) and Benny divorced, and she recorded her breakup song "When All is Said and Done" (another recommendation). You have to react to "Dancing Queen" which is their 1976 most iconic #1 Disco hit. It is another Masterpiece and their most iconic song.

[@chasevickerss]

THANK YOU !

[@abbagodz]

​@@chasevickerssYes, 'When All Is Said and Done' was ABBA's last U.S. Top 40 hit (peaked in 1983) and is also my personal favorite.

[@polmus]

One of the greatest songs in existence. Just shows so many aspects of breaking up and divorce, such a great song! Very comforting also, when you are in such a situation.

[@brt5273]

I was in Highschool when this came out. For a few years ABBA hadn't been so popular with my age group because many of their songs were associated with "Disco", which was on the way out. Then this song came out. Agnetha and Bjorn's impending divorce had been publicized, so when we heard this it cut to the heart. It was soooo good that most of us fell in love all over again with them. Their popularity throughout the world is really unpresedented and transcends musical genres. There are aficionados of every type of music....even Death Metal rockers... who also cite ABBA as a fave and inspiration.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thank you, Chase! 💎 These lyrics really cut to the core.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Appart from the views in the Official video there are another '140millions' if someone combines the views from the German tv show 'Show Express",the lyric video and other fan's uploading of this great breakup song.Also i'm sure you'll give a chance to the band's mega no1 hits 'Fernando","Knowing me knowing uou","Super Trouper" with Frida on the lead .Abba were priviliged to have two top leadsingers in their tream.We were lucky fans too.

[@sifridbassoon]

It's probably not their famous song, but it definitely is their best ballad. The lyrics are devastating. 😪 Yes, the song is losely based on her breakup with her husband Bjorn (the lead guitar player). He was in the process of writing the song when they split. There is a video here somewhere where they are performing on stage. It's terribly sad - she is singing a song written for her by her ex-husband while he is on stage with her only a few feet away.

[@danfrost3043]

It IS one of their most famous songs, have you seen how many times it's been covered on those X Factor type shows? Huge hit all over Europe & The UK plus Top Ten in America.

[@bobbyyounger7632]

Enjoy your ABBA reactions ....Happy New Year Chase !

[@chasevickerss]

Happy new year!!

[@ruuddhont2098]

It was about her and her divorce from bjorn....back in the days one of their biggest hits ...I've seen them live in concert

[@chasevickerss]

WOW !

[@daveloboda1769]

So many great songs from Abba of which this is one of the best. It's a deep rabbit hole.

[@russtex]

Great song!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

This is from their semi final no1 album that gave 2 huge no1 classic hits.This one with Agnetha and 'Super Trouper" with brunette Frida on the lead.

[@NoFinalWords]

For many years Bjorn insisted it wasn't about he and Agnetha, yet in the last few years he's admitted it was directly influenced by their breakup. If it was, I'm impressed by his humility in seeing it from her perspective. 💖💖💖💖 Super Trouper with Frida as lead would be a great follow up. When All Is Said And Done is said to be Frida and Benny's breakup song. The two breakup songs seem to match the couples. One is melancholic and the other fiery and fatalistic. Enjoying your channel Chase 👍🏼

[@michaelp2776]

Another great Abba song and another great reaction from you. Happy New Year Chase.

[@chasevickerss]

THANK YOU, YOU TOO !

[@alexioverdo5225]

A good rocky tune that features Bjorn on the lead is the fast paced hit single 'Does your mother know?""from a year earlier to this.Different again.

[@rde4017]

This has to be one of the saddest songs ever written, but somehow it is also one of the most unspeakably beautiful. Yet another Abba masterpiece.

[@bayasafer9035]

I love it ❤❤❤❤

[@paulogaray6666]

Great reaction and once again, you're trying to figure it out. This song is so popular that when you hear a pianist hit those first few keys, the tears will come. It is a powerful song.

[@eduardooscar309]

ABBA in the begining two swedish couples: Agnetha (blonde singer) & Björn (guitarist songwriter) Benny (pianist songwriter) & Anni Frida (brunette singer) 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 Official Video with more than 130 millions views in KZbin, was filmed on July 12 (1980), is a Masterpiece as the song it shows the blonde singer Agnetha alone so sad and remembering happy times, and the others members so nice together, a perfect example of contrast feelings It's the first ABBA vídeo with images in black and white about Their previous history, to introduce us in the context; I think it's their best official video but just as a great performance by Agnetha is seen in these video, almost like a dramatic actress, transmitting the sorrow, anguish and pain, there are also videos in the back room of the filming, which show the four cheerful and funque "The winner takes it all" return ABBA to the Top of the charts, gives ABBA their eighth #1 in UK after almost two years and half 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 the encore song is... "The winner takes it all" For a new reaction I suggest "Super Trouper" (1980) the last #1 to ABBA in UK with the brunette singer Frida in lead voice I wish to You a great week my best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

[@ewonnestrand7298]

They use to sing the lead more or less 50/50. Listen to (Lovers) live a little bit longer. There is Frida the lead.

[@frangomares]

Of course we all feel, and it's probably true, that these songs are about themselves. Have you reacted to "One of Us". One of my favorite songs. Also about themselves. To me, it feels like "Don't Shut Me Down" is like a second part to "One of Us"

[@andyjenkinson5070]

The one it certainly was NOT about was Frida, the other singer. If that was not what you were thinking I misunderstood. As a fiction it is about a divorce, a husband and another woman. As it was written by her ex and sung by his ex you are free to speculate how much it was about them. Good reaction. Thanks.

[@kungsverige1886]

'The other singer' Agneta...🇸🇪

[@shinakuma2774]

Great track

[@discogareth]

May I suggest ABBA’s ‘Lay All Your Love On Me’ for a future reaction. A great early 80s dance song.

[@chasevickerss]

WILL DO !

The blond one is Agnetha Fältskog, during ABBA she married Björn Ulvaeus who plays the guitar. They divorced in 1979 and this was actually the brake-up song as also the other couple had troubles and divorced in 1981. The group dissolved in 1982 although the guys of ABBA had more plans and songs for the group.

[@rozequinn1519]

Actually ABBA had many top 40...only 4 top 10 in the U.S..... nine #1s world wide... But only one #1 in the U.S. Dancing Queen But The Winner Takes It All is my favorite song of theirs.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Well US wasn't actually the strongest field for them compared to their global appeal in the rest of the world but they also did it quite good there.(Also their "Gold" album has overtaken 12million sales there if all formats combined).Australia,S.Africa,Latin America(esp.after 1979) and of Course Europe This band were huuuge.And still big deal today.Their virtual gigs in London have managed way over 1,6million tickets sales up to now.HNY.

Great song. As for your new year's resolutions, don't worry about them. Just resolve to be a better you.

[@chasevickerss]

I'll check it out!

[@birchleaf]

It is a song about a divorce, written right after Björn and Agnetha divorced, but it is not specifically about them. Their divorce was amicable, they shared custody of their children and lived near eachother to make it easier on the kids. They continued to work and tour together, etc. Björn wrote the lyrics and Agnetha sang them.

[@mral8145]

Im catching up with your back catalogue, but if you haven’t done so, I’d suggest ‘one of us’ next.

[@bobshep]

Hi I would really appreciate it if you would react to, From Here to Entity by The Fizz, formally known as Bucks Fizz The Fizz - From Here To Eternity (Official Video). Below is a little history of the group and singer. Bucks Fizz star Jay Aston has endured a hellish ordeal over the last few years. The singer, who rose to fame when the British band won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 with 'Making Your Mind Up', has suffered from her own agonising health battles. Jay was diagnosed with mouth cancer in June 2018, had a gruelling seven-hour operation to remove a section of her tongue and then had it rebuilt using part of her thigh. They recorder this track on the day Jay was diagnosed with cancer which make it very emotional. Jay has recovered and is still touring with the group they just played a sell out concert at the 02 arena in London 43 years after winning the Eurovision.

[@sds6303]

This song is about Agnetta & Bjorn’s divorce. Bjorn wrote it for Agnetta to sing. Bjorn started dating his second wife literally a few weeks after his divorce was finalized & Agnetta was crushed by the fact that he moved on so quickly. There was no cheating at all.

[@electromaniac1]

Bjorn met his second wife at a new years party at Benny's and Frida's home.

[@ABBALAURAFAN]

Some of this is true but any google search will tell you that it was not actually.. “about “ ..

[@brucethrasher8551]

​actually, Bjorn finally admitted in an interview what we all knew...it actually IS about their divorce. They both had denied it publicly up to that point. We all knew that it was.

[@supastah68]

@@electromaniac1yes, Agnetha and Bjorn separated in ‘78.

[@eduardooscar309]

a separate comment, to help you understand the dynamics of ABBA in the midst of the vertigo of your emotionality when discovering their fantastic music This is a different video, for a different song Unlike most ABBA songs, here the dominant piano melody is almost linear, there are almost no hooks, and it does not have a classic catchy chorus. and here it is Agnetha's voice pure and alone, changing the tones and rhythm, while the chorus, which appears in the second half, goes separately and in the background That is why the official video also focuses on Agnetha, who takes the place of an actress interpreting a divorce story, and alternates the contrasts of happy times with the loneliness of loss. Agnetha looks very convincing, both in the grief and emotion of her singing and storytelling (told by her own peers, Agnetha is the Best as a storyteller) but there are also scenes from the back stage of the video that show her smiling and fun. In any case, the song was made a year and a half after the separation between Agnetha and Björn, and there were two more years of ABBA recording and performing on television. The divorce between the other members, Frida and Benny, months after recording and filming "The winner takes it all", was more difficult (their own words) As I always say, try to balance the songs between the two lead singers, since they both contribute equally to ABBA If you did one with Agnetha on lead vocals, now go with one that has Frida on lead. and several of us leave you suggestions "Fernando" will show you another different musical genre "Super Trouper" is a great upbeat "Knowing me knowing you" is another breakup song "The visitors (crackin'up) is more political and has a disturbing rhythm and few have mentioned "I still have faith in You" one of ABBA's songs returns after almost 40 years with a very special official video

[@ABBALAURAFAN]

Great reaction!! Although there is a lot of truth in this song it has been denied that it was about there divorce.. of course there is influence.. a lot! 😜

Ok so Björn wrote the lyrics and Agnetha was chosen to sing it and the video was filmed one week after their divorce was finalised. It was released in 1980 and they got married in 1971. Frida and Benny were still married at this point.
