I recently stumbled upon this one, where they talk about the new album Voulez Vous. However, my favourite part is around the timestamp 18:15 where Frida says “Oh, I have my own money” after the interview makes a sexist comment.
What are your favourite moments from interviews? Please share the links if you have them.😊
“Belle” was released in 1983 for the French TV musical ABBAcadabra. It is based on ABBA’s instrumental track “Arrival” from the 1976 album Arrival.
For this version, French lyrics were added by Alain and Daniel Boublil, and the song was performed as a duet by Frida and Daniel Balavoine.
Frida singing in French is just melting my heart😍🥹

Hi fellow ABBA fans, I made a compilation of (almost) all the costumes / outfits ABBA wore on stage during their active years.
Which one is your favorite?
Mine is 5, with 11 and 15 as close runner-ups.
Hi everyone,
I’ve been going through a lot of ABBA material recently (especially thanks to abbaontv.com), and I’ve started to notice some interesting dynamics between the two couples that I wanted to share and get your thoughts on.
To me, Benny and Frida seemed to have a very natural chemistry and warmth. There’s a lot of visible affection between them, both on stage and off. They often come across as playful and physically close, singing to each other, joking around, and generally looking very comfortable together. There’s a kind of spark there that feels quite genuine. For example, Benny is always hugging Frida and holding her by her waist.
In contrast, Björn and Agnetha (in the pre-divorce era, obviously I am not gonna compare a married vs. divorced couple), often seem a bit more reserved. Not in a bad way, just different. Their dynamic sometimes feels more like close friends or professional partners rather than overtly affectionate. Again, this is just based on public appearances, so it’s obviously a limited perspective.
I’ve also seen people say that Benny could come across as a bit dismissive or mean toward Frida in interviews, but I personally read it more as dry or sarcastic humor. He jokes about Björn in a similar way, and to me it feels more like a sign of familiarity than anything negative. Plus, there are plenty of moments where he clearly praises Frida: her talent, her contributions, even things like costume ideas.
Of course, we’re all just interpreting what we see publicly, but I’m curious if others have picked up on similar vibes or if you see it completely differently.
What do you think?
