It gets more impactful when you realize that the song was written after Agnetas and Björns divorce and it was very hard for Björn to write the lyrics as it was so personal to him. He was also worried about if Agneta could manage to sing it but she said she could put her own feelings into the song.
This song is about her. She was married to the guitar guy next to her but he divorced her for someone else. My understanding is he wrote the song about he thought she felt.
@@danalynch8889 Bjorn is full of it. For Agnetha to perform that song projecting the emotion she did it is from the heart, not some figment of Bjorn's imagination
@@m.menneke8513 that is what he said then but now he says is what they all were going through. Watch some of his recent comments when asked now. That is Agnetha's favorite song as she has stated in recent interviews.
This was actually a true story. Agnetha (lead singer) sung this sad emotional song. It was about her ex-husband (playing the guitar next to her), & felt so sorry for her. But she is a sensational singer no matter what!! xx
What is so crushing is seeing all those happy pictures of ABBA together and then knowing that they all divorced and stood on stage next to each other "singing" of their break up... except it is almost not singing... but telling... telling the story. These four were SO happy together with their success and lives... but it crashed when pressures overwhelmed them. Great band, great music, great lyrics, great singers... so tragically sad and relatable for anyone that has had a divorce.
ABBA is acronim with initials of Their first names, 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 end of 1980 ABBA have more than 20 worldwide hits between 1972/1982, included: Waterloo, Mamma Mía Fernando, Dancing Queen, Take a chance on me, Chiquitita Super Trouper All these songs are in your album recopilation GOLD (1992) that a year ago arrives to 1.000 weeks at Top 100 in UK Official Charts (first group singer or artist to do it) and have more than five years consecutively in the UK Top 100 (these week at #6 in the 30th anniversary) After more than 35 year all four ABBA members return to studio together and recording initialy two new songs and finally a full new album Voyage released in last November 2021 that is a worldwide success And in last May 2022 all four ABBA members asist to the premiere of the Voyage Concerts in the new ABBA Arena in London UK the ages of all ABBA members now is: 72 Agnetha 77 Björn 75 Benny 76 Anni Frid (Frida)
I love many of ABBA's songs, like this one, which I particularly like. What I don't understand is how can you be proud of something you didn't create or control? A German would be proud of BMW because the brand is German 🤔 It's strange how some people interpret pride.
I've listened to the song for 40 years and it still get's me right in the soul. It is truly a great song accentuated by Agnetha's incredible vocals. Arguable one of ABBA's best songs.
@@ROYALTEHILLAHTVREACT I'm also impressed by how well you and all the other music types in these reaction videos pretend to hear these very strong, well known hits for the first time. There's no way you Americans are this ignorant. Pull my other leg - it's got bells on!
Hello, have a nice stat of the week and thanks for your first reaction to ABBA songs "The winner takes it all" (1980) is one of the Best Songs by ABBA and the Most sad and emotional too The best lyrics and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation of the blonde singer Agnetha Fältskog and her soprano voice The lyrics is a fiction abouta divorce, it is not about Their real life, although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences and the realization of the legal divorce 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 There is an Official Video with more than 120 millions views in RUclips, was filmed on July 1980, is a Masterpiece 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 These is a TV special in Germany 1980, it was the first of three songs, follow by another great song "Super Trouper" "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 You "Super Trouper" (1980) the following single and last #1 in UK with the lead voice of the brunette singer Frida these is a link to the same TV special: ruclips.net/video/1V_CpamITxY/видео.html I wish to You a great start of the new week my best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South América
you, my dear lady, have been moved emotionally by this wonderful work of art. teared up, didn't you? yeah, so do i every time i listen to it. this one will live longer than we will and so it should. Agnetha is one hell of a vocalist. a not so secret weapon in ABBA's arsonal . j.
Agnetha for me is the top female vocalist of my lifetime. When i hear better i may update my opinion. But, listening to her again, after soooo many listenings....it just doesn't get better than this. A unique voice. A unique woman.
The song was written by her husband (the one playing the guitar) and at the time as they were getting divorced. This makes the song so much more emotional and poignant. I knew this at the time when it was released and it must have been so hard to sing. One of Agneta's best performances and my favourite ABBA song. Sucker for this type of song.
What a beautiful reaction. I w could see it was genuine when you abandoned your mic mid- video and reacted! Hanks for doing this one keep on keepin on!
You have every reason to be proud..such a gift Sweden gave us. I have adored and continue to adore their music. Pop royalty. Song royalty. How do you say, "God bless you Sweden in swedish??
Hi dear Madame, this is my favorite song of Abba, I have tears in my eyes every time I listen to it ( you could try "Thank you for the music" and "Happy New Year" in which in found comfort besides the deepness of the harmonies and lyrics). In history, showing his emotions were always seen as a weakness.... I know what I'm saying ; but for me and a lot of people, seeing your honest reaction make feel happy, as a catharsis.... For me, it is a proof of humanism to be so sensitive to this song.... With all my affection, a random gay French guy
I know die hard metal heads crying like babies listening to this song. The song is mainly about the divorce between Agnetha and Björn. If you look closely you can tell by Agnetha`s eyes in the beginning that she is angry and Björn is very uncomfortable standing next to her singing about him. No one knew this at the time but figured it out after a while. But by then, ABBA was history.
It is one of the most special songs for me. I grew up with ABBA and the emotions in their music touched me before I knew enough English to understand the lyrics. I'm happy also many younger people learn to appreciate this and so many other special songs by ABBA, who were one of the greatest bands ever.
This is Sweden great gift to the world thank u would love to these songs released again with nowadays singers Taylor Swift comes to mind just to new generations to enjoy maybe help swedish music industry to help new artists to launch anotherSwede invasion that what ABBA was when only Brits.and yanks had it going
Noone can sing this song like Agneta , this is her song !! There is a reason why ABBA is pop royalty ..
Hmmm
Oh yeah ❤❤
I agreed with this until I watched Mazz Murray sing it. Go check it out - she does a great job (she's also Donna in the musical)
Only a person who is hurt in love can feel the depth and feelings of this legendry song
So happy to see so many channels liking ABBA. So proud as a Swede of their legacy!!
Beautiful
@@ROYALTEHILLAHTVREACT agreed. Agnetha sings like an angel 😊😊
It gets more impactful when you realize that the song was written after Agnetas and Björns divorce and it was very hard for Björn to write the lyrics as it was so personal to him. He was also worried about if Agneta could manage to sing it but she said she could put her own feelings into the song.
So painful and heartfelt
LOVE this song and her voice is stunning
🤩
Ja und Agnetha legt so viel Seele mit in den Song......da kommen die Emotionen hoch ....
This song is about her. She was married to the guitar guy next to her but he divorced her for someone else. My understanding is he wrote the song about he thought she felt.
No it is fiction bjorn said.
@@m.menneke8513 Thanks for the correction. I was going by my online research. It really is odd that shortly after song came out they got divorce.
@@danalynch8889 Bjorn is full of it. For Agnetha to perform that song projecting the emotion she did it is from the heart, not some figment of Bjorn's imagination
@@m.menneke8513 that is what he said then but now he says is what they all were going through. Watch some of his recent comments when asked now. That is Agnetha's favorite song as she has stated in recent interviews.
Not true ,both Agnetha Björn have said its not about their divorse. No it's about a much bigger divorse 2000 years ago
Abba is timeless 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
🤩
This was actually a true story. Agnetha (lead singer) sung this sad emotional song. It was about her ex-husband (playing the guitar next to her), & felt so sorry for her. But she is a sensational singer no matter what!! xx

Great band, great music, great lyrics, great singers... so tragically sad and relatable for anyone that has had a divorce.
One of the best songs of all time, like many other unique and different worldhits and albumtracks from ABBA
Yes
Watching you, and the way you were moved, I think you actually got it. Good girl.
What a truly gorgeous song.
Thanks so much

I'm 32 male and can't listen this song without a tear in my eye lmao what is this
Im commenting before I even watch. This song is pure gold and has emotion and mystery.
Agnetha was in tears when she first read the words to this song.
ABBA - Goat of pop! So much to discover for you! Good luck! 🥰
Thank you
I love her reaction. This song often brings me to tears as well....
Glad you love it
@@ROYALTEHILLAHTVREACT I'm also impressed by how well you and all the other music types in these reaction videos pretend to hear these very strong, well known hits for the first time. There's no way you Americans are this ignorant. Pull my other leg - it's got bells on!
Owwwnn... I love - LOVE - this react. ❤️
ABBA is so perfect.
Thanks so much
Hello, have a nice stat of the week
and thanks for your first reaction to ABBA songs
"The winner takes it all" (1980)
is one of the Best Songs by ABBA
and the Most sad and emotional too
The best lyrics and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation of the blonde singer Agnetha Fältskog and her soprano voice
The lyrics is a fiction abouta divorce, it is not about Their real life, although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences and the realization of the legal divorce 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
There is an Official Video with more than 120 millions views in RUclips, was filmed on July 1980, is a Masterpiece
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
These is a TV special in Germany 1980, it was the first of three songs, follow by another great song "Super Trouper"
"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 You
"Super Trouper" (1980)
the following single and last #1 in UK
with the lead voice of the brunette singer Frida
these is a link to the same TV special:

THANK YOU for crying - I do the same.
I'm a swede who grew up with ABBA and I just LOVE your reaction!
And.. you're SO gorgeous too :)
The moment you put down your little black mic, you fall in love with this masterpiece of music and lyrics.
Whenever I hear this song I get goosebumps, it touches me very much. Greetings to all from Germany 👋
Thanks so much for watching
It's almost impossible to look past Agnetha here, but every member has an amazing contribution to this song.
I beg to differ. This song is all Agnetha. 100%.
I agree with you.
goosebumps, teary eyes, it's amazing how abba touches your heart and soul. get to know more of abba, they are amazing ❤
you, my dear lady, have been moved emotionally by this wonderful work of art. teared up, didn't you? yeah, so do i every time i listen to it. this one will live longer than we will and so it should. Agnetha is one hell of a vocalist. a not so secret weapon in ABBA's arsonal . j.
Thanks so much
The one in the best group EVER !!!
Lady, Abba is HUGE!
Muito bom !!! Sou fã do ABBA.
Thanks so much
TAMBIÉN LLORÉ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It is well
Even though it is a break up song it is sung so beautifully. ABBA was and is still a great band.
So awesome
Agnetha for me is the top female vocalist of my lifetime. When i hear better i may update my opinion. But, listening to her again, after soooo many listenings....it just doesn't get better than this. A unique voice. A unique woman.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written, and performed close to perfection.
Dancing Queen is their biggest hit
I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to record this song.
It actually looks like Bjorn doesn`t know the lyrics very well by looking at him singing. Maybe it`s a reason for that.
A difficult one like that
yes i been listen to this song over and over again, since 1981,remind me of my sadest moment in my life
Wow! this really hit home with you x
💗
Beautiful reaction🤗
This song always gets to me 💕😢
To me ABBA is/was greater than The Beatles 👍
Love from Norway 🥰
Каждый вспоминает свою историю
Thank you so much for the video, my reaction to this song is the same. Love you and Abba.
so beauty girl, regard from croatia middle europe
The song was written by her husband (the one playing the guitar) and at the time as they were getting divorced. This makes the song so much more emotional and poignant. I knew this at the time when it was released and it must have been so hard to sing. One of Agneta's best performances and my favourite ABBA song. Sucker for this type of song.

Thanks so much

Oh I felt your pain. Specially during the last minute.💔
♥️
언제 들어도 명곡 입니다 가슴이 지며오네요 지난 추억들이 주마등 처럼 스쳐 가네요
The saddest thing is the story behind the song and what the singer endured
Как их жаль,тех кто АВВА слушает впервые и именно эту композицию,никаких слов не выразишь и не напишешь ,чтобы выразить свои чувства
Les yeux d'Agnetha..
Que dire d'autre que merci à toi pour ce partage
♥️
Thank you 💝
Simply a masterpiece of the disco music.
What a clear voice so beautiful
you are a good wise woman with an amazing hart
Thank you
I love this Channel. ,

I'm happy also many younger people learn to appreciate this and so many other special songs by ABBA, who were one of the greatest bands ever.
In these situations there's NO winner. If it is over, its OVER. The life continues till death. (But I like your reaction)
Well you've gone down a real rabbit hole, I'll save a little trouble, watch the video version of ABBA GOLD.
There‘s no need to hold this microphone in your hand. 😉 It‘s meant to be clip on. To your shirt. - Abba is great. ❤️
Thanks
For you Amber
You made me cry!!!

Love Abba
Great Track
That kind of músic supere any era
