Sad and beautiful. The absolute genius that is ABBA is on full display in this song. The words, vocals,instrumentation ,compilation. It’s all here and it’s brilliant. The greatest pop music band of the 20th century. We will never see this again. Love ABBA.
This is one of Abba's more sad songs. Björn Ulvaeus admitted that the heartache of his breakup with Agnetha Fältskog inspired this song. In divorce no one really wins.
Agnetha Falskog the GREATEST POP Soprano in over 40 years . Range B 2 - F7 with a pitch perfect , Perfect Pitch, At 4:10 Agnetha hits a F 6 for six seconds ,a pause of only 2 seconds and does another F 6 again for six seconds . In 14 seconds Agnetha held a F 6 just over 12 seconds . She has gone higher but the song called for 2 F 6s ,and that what she did .
Undoubtedly one of the greatest pop groups of all time and although their music might seem rather light and bubble gum oriented on the surface when you look a little deeper there's so much more to their music. I took a tremendous amount of heat from my contemporaries for liking this group 40 or 50 years ago but ABBA's music has certainly stood the test of time and they still get lots of airplay on the memory sticks I rock out to in the car. The production values, the instrumentation and the harmonizing vocals are all exemplary. Cheers from Ontario, Canada!
HA! Same sentiments here--everything you said, right up to and including coming from the same place as you, although I'm not there anymore. By the way, I'm really worried about everyone living there, so please be careful and keep a close eye on your loved ones and things going on there.
It’s certainly not bubblegum. These lyrics were so poignant and written by a pair of Swedish guys whose second lt was. Anyone out there want to want to have a go at a hit song in Swedish?
She was singing from the real events of her recent divorce from Bjorn, her bandmate and Ex-husband. The emotion was real. This song always makes me cry.
Finally a reaction akin to the way this song has made me feel each of the thousands of time ive listened to it since 1980 when I was 16. I turn 60 in two days, 8/14. Thank you, Sarah 🥹
Absolute masters of their craft, Benny & Bjorn were excellent songwriters, Anni-frid (frida) & agnetha just had the most fantastic voices, but they way that Agnetha could belt out a note was just mesmersing, not to mention that growing up i had a crush on Agnetha despite her being 37 years older than me
Dear Sarah, I'm a teacher and musician from Denmark.....love your reactions. Best sounding reaction channel on RUclips......great big, beautiful, open sound!!
Brings back 70's memories. My parents had a casette in the car radio with Abba songs (and Boney M). I have lost count the number of times i have heard this. Now i have it on a USB stick in the car.
In an interview on Australian TV Agnetha said that this is her favourit ABBA song. It was inspired by her and Björns divorce so I guess it has special meaing for her and her performance is not only world class, it is Epic!
@dasmaurerle4347 : English is a funny language... do you mean "tears me up" as in crying tears, or "tears me up" as in tearing your heart, as both can apply? Our silly language lol! I'm sure it would be more logical in German. 🤍
Agnetha is the real Pop Queen and thats why everyone that hears it for the first time always want to cry ... that was a time where it all meant something
What an awesome video this group was so awesome another great reaction by you again like always you so awesome today too love your smile thank you so much for sharing this video with us love it .🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️👍
Hold the emotions Sarah, very beautiful to see you emotioned! I've heard this song since I was a kid and sometimes my eyes wants to down a tear untill today! A big hug from 🇧🇷
What a wonderful and heartfelt reaction to a brilliant band, a peerless pop singer and a great song, Sarah. I have watched not as many of your videos as I would wish, but you are so honest. Keep doing what you're doing. You are one of the very best reactors on RUclips.
Just one of those great sweet-sad songs getting impregnated in your soul forever once you have heart it. Its pop music at its best and at that time I fell in some kind in love with Agneta. Love to see your reaction.
ABBA in the begining two swedish couples, meet inb1969: Agnetha (blonde singer) & Björn (guitarist songwriter) Benny (pianist songwriter) & Anni Frida (brunette singer) Agnetha & Björn married in 1971, with two Young childrens Benny and Frida married in 1978, withouth own childrens 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 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 that begins exactly one year before, the encore song is... "The winner takes it all" ABBA have more than 20 worldwide hits, Their biggest Is "Dancing Queen" (1976) Their first worldwide hit was "Waterloo" (1974) when ABBA win the classic Eurovisión Song Contest in UK I wish to You a nice week my best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
One of the best groups ever. What a fabulous lead vocal on this one. I think they're Swedish so this probably was done in a second language for them. Bravo!
Such beautiful reaction to beautiful music. Abba are the Mozart of pop music, the magicians of the musical world. Some of the best songs ever written covering a range of genres. Happy sad music which transcends all other. Love this group
This song, Dancing Queen, Super Trooper, Sos...not sure anyone has written anything better and had it delivered so well by Agnetha and Frida. I just thought something very sad.... that when Agnetha passes, this song should be what everyone turns to illustrate her greatness.
This was one of the first songs I cried to when I was 12/13 years old back in the early 80s ... and it still can make me cry. Even if the text does not translate in your life (and it surely did not in my teenage years) the music does hit you soooooo hard if you feel the sadness of this song. What a wonderful sad song. Thank you very much for your authentic and honest reaction. Not wanting to feel others bad is just showing a caring heart. But everybody will feel bad in life sometimes. And then... these songs can make us help let out the emotions. Wish you all the best for your channel and your whole life.
Ce mnunatiei a fost aceasta Agnetha ,incomparabila ,de neasemuit cu altcineva ,din toate punctele de vedere . Ai sta zi si noapte sa o asculti si sa o privesti !
Sarah i just wanted to let you know when you teared up reviewing the American national anthem i teared up too! I just love your reviews, I'm not sure if you have ever reviewed Dionne Warwick- What The World Needs Now (1966) but it is such a beautiful song my favorite of all time, I really think if you never heard it before you would greatly enjoy it as you seem like such a sweet person and in light of the fact you do some war reviews as well as music I think you would also like the song Never Again - sung by Robin Moir (1985) in Canada public schools they used to play it for us every war vets day it is one that once I heard it i never again could hear the mention of war without the songs words again coming to mind. Thank you for all the reviews ya do.
we have all been losers, there are those who have lost so many times and have become so accustomed to their 100 small defeats that they suffer less each time it happens again. It takes courage and zero respect for suffering to be able to do this. There are those who have lost only 5 or 6 times in their life, but each time the pain doubled and they had to give up, protecting their despair and the memory of each single failure.
It as written by her then husband (Bjorn the guitarist in the group) - because it was his way for saying sorry for their divorce/ a few months earlier....so she really was singing the truth from both of them from the heart........ they continued to perform togther for 3 years and had to deal with their feelings. An epic pop song reflecting the ;lives of the performers themselves...poetry in action
Both laddies were each married to the prime male members so this was a band of two couples. They stayed together till death . Life long love of each other and beutiful music.
Perfection in music. Abba had it and they repeated it countless times. Even more amazingly, they sang in very good english, but never spoke it nowhere near as well.
Bjorn (her ex-husband) wrote this song in one sitting at the end of a drunken night after their separation, and then he asked her to sing it! My most beloved song, the song that marked the end of this band. I wish they never made it!!!
ME AT THE ROLLER RINK AT 6 YEARS OLD IN 1986: "Jesus! This song is so old. Can you please play some recent stuff by the sisters of Heart, please Mr. Owner, sir, of Skate Haven?"
Why would anybody let this Goddess slip through your fingers? This song touches my heart so deeply...
And her vocals are amazing. Never a dry eye for me listening to this song
Sad and beautiful. The absolute genius that is ABBA is on full display in this song. The words, vocals,instrumentation ,compilation. It’s all here and it’s brilliant. The greatest pop music band of the 20th century. We will never see this again. Love ABBA.
It's wonderful to see such a touching reaction to one of the greatest singers ever.❤ Made me cry watching you react.
I went to see ABBA Voyage in London. When Agnetha hit the long high note, I burst into tears. Perfection .
This is one of Abba's more sad songs. Björn Ulvaeus admitted that the heartache of his breakup with Agnetha Fältskog inspired this song. In divorce no one really wins.
One name comes to mind to rebut your view that in divorce nobody wins: Henry VIII
dagmars.6954 The devil wins.
Wasn't he shagging the redhead in the band?
He got a new girlfriend after like a week after splitting from her and then wrote this for her to sing
.....apart from the lawyers.

Wonderfully formulated and I wholeheartedly agree with you!

To hear music is one thing but to feel it in your heart is a true gift. You have that gift! You reaction lights the darkest room!
Top 10 songs ever made. Simply hard to talk about all feelings runs through this amazing masterpiece.
She was singing from the real events of her recent divorce from Bjorn, her bandmate and Ex-husband. The emotion was real. This song always makes me cry.
Bjorn has said many times is that this song is not autobiographical and does not tell the story of his divorce from Agnetha
@@cserranowebdo we really believe it, really?:)
No she wasn't
ABBA FOREVER WE LOVE ABBA
The final lyric just KILLS me, even after 40+ years. "...seeing me so tense... no self-confidence... but - you see - the Winner Takes it ALL".
Finally a reaction akin to the way this song has made me feel each of the thousands of time ive listened to it since 1980 when I was 16. I turn 60 in two days, 8/14.

I was crying while listening to this song and so is Sarah Dengler. I don’t know why I am crying but I went to the same emotions 2 years ago.
Thank you for your wonderful, deep, insightful and heartfelt reaction.
Love from Germany
I feel like we all win when we get to see Sarah react to a beautiful song from Abba! Thanks, Sarah!
Beautiful, sad, touching song. Such s fabulous group. Always enjoy them. Thanks Sarah for this and your lovely reaction. 😊
Thanks Pa, appreciate your continuous support
Agnetha was divorcing Bjorn went this song came out, it's very emotional.
The pain in her eye's real 💔
Wrong.
Thank you for sharing your reaction I can feel your emotion
Dear Sarah, I'm a teacher and musician from Denmark.....love your reactions. Best sounding reaction channel on RUclips......great big, beautiful, open sound!!
Listening to Agnetha hit that note near the end is amazing.
Brings back 70's memories. My parents had a casette in the car radio with Abba songs (and Boney M). I have lost count the number of times i have heard this. Now i have it on a USB stick in the car.
Agnetha vocals are perfection. A genuine sad song and performance.

As a 50-year old German, this song always tears me up...

ABBA in the begining two swedish couples, meet inb1969:
Agnetha (blonde singer) &
Björn (guitarist songwriter)
Benny (pianist songwriter) &
Anni Frida (brunette singer)
Agnetha & Björn married in 1971, with two Young childrens
Benny and Frida married in 1978, withouth own childrens
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 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 that begins exactly one year before, the encore song is...
"The winner takes it all"
ABBA have more than 20 worldwide hits,
Their biggest Is "Dancing Queen" (1976)
Their first worldwide hit was "Waterloo" (1974) when ABBA win the classic Eurovisión Song Contest in UK
I wish to You a nice week
my best regards from
Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷

Same old copy and paste, same repeated comments you post on every single ABBA reaction video on RUclips.
YAWN
When music transcends music … that can only be Abba !
this one has always been one of my favorites - great reaction👍
One of the best groups ever. What a fabulous lead vocal on this one. I think they're Swedish so this probably was done in a second language for them. Bravo!
Yes, they're Swedish. Doesn't everyone know that?
Yes,they are from Sweden
Outstanding 👏👏👏👏👏👏
good lord, girl, .....you get I!! Music is awesome
Such beautiful reaction to beautiful music. Abba are the Mozart of pop music, the magicians of the musical world. Some of the best songs ever written covering a range of genres. Happy sad music which transcends all other. Love this group
This song, Dancing Queen, Super Trooper, Sos...not sure anyone has written anything better and had it delivered so well by Agnetha and Frida. I just thought something very sad....
that when Agnetha passes, this song should be what everyone turns to illustrate her greatness.

For better or worse....this is my song. Thanks.
This is a hard song to take at times....no one really wins ...
Listen to Our Last Summer by Abba. It is one of their finest records but was only an album track.
It as written by her then husband (Bjorn the guitarist in the group) - because it was his way for saying sorry for their divorce/ a few months earlier....so she really was singing the truth from both of them from the heart........ they continued to perform togther for 3 years and had to deal with their feelings. An epic pop song reflecting the ;lives of the performers themselves...poetry in action
Björn has been outspoken about how this wasn't about his divorce, which happened the next year. Get your facts straight, Dave.
What Bjorn has said many times is that this song is not autobiographical and does not tell the story of his divorce from Agnetha
@@cserranoweb Thank you!
Both laddies were each married to the prime male members so this was a band of two couples. They stayed together till death . Life long love of each other and beutiful music.
Now you have to watch "Mama Mia" . :)
Only the beginning of the song can bring you down
Ey have so many great songs i
