I only ran across a Russian talk show with them.

INDEED

не, ну Дженни то настоящая, а звучание такое потому что в живую поют. А вот толстяка где-то нет, который автор песен и музыкант

solalexx Этот толстяк, как ты говоришь, родной старший брат Дженни и Малин!

Да ладно,не гони на неё.Нормально она пела в 90х,просто девочка постарела.В живую они в 90х обе не сильно вытягивали.Я имею ввиду целый концерт,а не 2 песни.

+Viktor123Viktor That's a bit rough, but yes, of the two voices, Linn's was the more memorable, iconic one, especially if you're more focused on their early era when they were at their most popular. Jenny almost always sang lead on the later albums and sang a number of songs solo (while Linn only had one solo song), so in the big picture Jenny was as much a part of their sound as Linn, though. In my view, Ace of Base needs both of them--especially Linn, but Jenny, too.

She's a smoker. Don't know if she quit, but she started aging rapidly and her live voice started to weaken as a result.

+FOTOJADAMO Jenny quit smoking many years ago, but yes, she does seem to have aged rapidly for some reason. I'm her age, but I look much younger, and I'm not noticeably less physically vigorous than I was 10, even 20 years ago--not yet, at least. It's odd how slowly and carefully she moves these days in comparison to the past--she moves as though she is elderly. She is really not that old, only in her 40s, so it's sad and strange to see. Perhaps her voice is no longer fully up to doing concert tours, but with rest she'd probably sound fine on records, at least. She sounds strong on Ace of Base's 2005 songs (released on "Hidden Gems"), although that was quite some time ago by now. By the way, I don't know how well Linn has aged, but her voice certainly hasn't been overused over the past decade, and she sounds wonderful on their 2005 songs. Yep, ultimately the subject always turns to Linn and whether Ace of Base can make a real comeback. ;) I think they could, but don't think that they will. It's pointless without Linn, and she is happy now living without all of this (yes, she was always dead serious about not wanting to be famous--it was never some kind of bluff), and Jenny still doesn't want to be in the band anymore, either.

+Ola Zduńska Maybe Jenny is just tired for some reason. As for her voice in the 1990s, while her voice itself didn't change, her technique did after she went and got vocal training, and while this netted some improvements in her ability to project and other fundamentals, I think she lost a fair amount of her uniqueness in the process. To me, Jenny sounds more distinctive and recognizable on the first two albums. Her timbre is the same, as it pretty much still is now, but there is more to singing than that, of course. Linn, on the other hand, kept doing things her way, and while she's always finding different styles to sing in, as of 2005's "Would You Believe" she sounded as iconic as ever--there can be absolutely no question that is her singing the chorus (which this song starts with). I could have heard this song for the first time at some random place and time with zero context, and I would still have recognized Linn instantaneously. :) That sweet sound is quintessential, definitive Ace of Base, whether it's from 2005 or 1992. But still, I'd take Jenny over any other singer(s), aside from Linn, when it comes to Ace of Base--in a heartbeat. Genuine, if incomplete, Ace of Base is worlds better than fake "Ace.of.Base" (yes, that's over with now, but I don't want it to rise again), and it's not as though Jonas and Ulf contribute anything important on stage. It's too bad that Linn won't join Jenny's act on stage, without the guys--that would not only be awesome, it would sure make an impression on them. ;)

+mikensca1 No, just Jenny and other people. It is still MUCH closer to real Ace of Base than Jonas, Ulf, and two other singers, though.
