Frida a beauty or a beautiful singer?
Frida was as member from abba, like agnetha, a singer and also an image; when i listened abba for the first time, i didn't know if she was beautiful or not as a woman. After that, i saw her in tv and on the album's covers and found it so sexy and beautiful.
Last week, i met 2 swedish women: the mother and her daughter: she spoke about abba: great music, international success good for sweden and about frida or agnetha, just about their beauty, not their voice or their talent. The mother was fan from Frida's beauty, her daughter for Agnetha (i promise you it's right but funny).
Do you think that Frida or Agnetha are just considered (except by the fans) as 2 beautiful ladies, just like that?
Is it the reason they didn't have great solo's success?

Hi Pierre,

I think you'll find that most people with a brain and awareness of vocal ability realise these days how good a singer Frida was/is and also the consensus is that both ABBA women are very physically attractive, too in their own right.

Regards,

Joe

Frida made important contributions to ABBA with her voice and her beauty. I believe the record buying public, who carried ABBA to the top, were primarily moved by the music and the aura surrounding the group and not by one member's appearance. Frida was a major part of that aura. Those who lusted after Frida and/or Agnetha (Aggie is off topic here) talked a lot, but never put their money where their mouth was. :wink:

A female performer has to be tremendously talented to find success without raging beauty, although Barbara Streisand is one example. Serious people see beauty in talent regardless of what the eyes disclose. My second favorite singer, Shania Twain, is well endowed with both. :D

My reflection on beauty vs talent may be from a male perspective, but appreciation of talent is genderless. I've heard rumors that some females lusted after Björn, but I doubt this drove them to buy ABBA records. 8)

To tread on more controversial ground, I'll suggest that Agnetha's solo career was limited by her personal attitudes toward travel, the press, motherhood, publicity and exploitation. Frida's solo career was limited by album sales. :wink:

I think that was not what Pierre meant, Maxi.

Anyway, it is a fact that usually people find beautiful women and men nicer, friendlier and more realiable than less prettier ones. ( only at first sight of course, I mean a beautiful woman can turn a out to be a b****)
I think Benny and Björn made the right choice with their respective girlfriends: they could sing and they were attractive. It made their breakthrough so much easier.

Frida was always looked upon as an elegant and beaautiful woman so that was very much in her advantage. When you read old reviews from the 60s and the 70s ( and later on too BTW) you will find that she was not only praised for her distincive, warm and sultry voice but also for her looks.

We rather look at a young Anni-Frid



than at a young Kelly Osbourne

frida as a beauty
I never want in this topic compare Frida and Agnetha: both are beautiful ladies.
About Frida, this day i see the movie from François Truffaut (frenh "nouvelle vague", named "la nuit américaine" with Jacqueline Bisset and this actress seems like Frida in the seventies. Very beautiful.
About Kelly Osbourne, Barbra Streisand etc..., i think that their success are so great because, like Streisand, she has a majestic voice but also because she has this kind of physical, a little strange perhaps, but which gives her such personnality.

Hi Pierre
I think Frida has all these attributes aswel as being gifted with a fantastic voice and being a very beutiful elagant lady Frida has a good fun natured careing personality this is given Frida the whole package,The same can be said for Agnetha,There are many reasons why Frida and Agnetha did not recieve the massive solo success that they deserved the main factor/reasons for me personaly is i think that the general puplic wanted ABBA as a group not as individual solo singers there was also the lack off or little touring/promotion this may have been the main factors though im not 100% sure!
