Love, Agnetha - The Fan Video

Agnetha TV Special: First review

The Agnetha documentary finished about half an hour ago. It was wonderful, heartbreaking and fabulous! God, that woman can always make me cry.

I have never seen such a relaxed and happy Agnetha! I won't ever believe a word what the so called newspapers tell about her in the future. She giggled like a little girl and the documentary ends up with hers and Lotta's sparkling laughter that leaves the audience in a happy mood :D.

In the beginning of the documentary Lotta asks Agnetha: How would you describe me? Agnetha is a bit puzzled by this and repeats Lotta's question. Lotta says that Agnetha can be the one who makes the documentary. "Let's change roles", Lotta says.

"I had not though about such a question, Agnetha says, and then adds: "Curious".

"How would you describe yourself", Lotta quicky changes roles and Agnetha says: "Careful, in certain situations".

The funniest moment in the documentary was when Agnetha and Lotta are teaching the viewers Swedish:

L:"We are drinking coffee and eating buns. I think we could teach them some Swedish. It's about time for you to learn some Swedish."

L: Hotdog A: Varmkorv
L: Hospital A: Sjukhus
Lotta: Nurse Agnetha: Sköterska
Lotta: Seven nurses at the hospital
Agnetha: Sju sjuksköterskor på sjukshuset

Another cute little moment is when she tells about her first compositions and when she realised that she could compose songs. She says that she would play the piano and know the chords, that they came naturally for her to find the right chords. Then she sings a song that was her first composition at the age of 5 or around that time.

"Två små troll treffades en dag
(two little trolls met one day)
Två små troll lekte med varann
(Two little trolls played together)
Kom sa den ena
(Come said one)
Kom sa den andra
(Come, said the other)
Då ska vi leka med varann.
(So we will play with each other).

At the end of the interview Agnetha says that "this has been one of my funniest interviews" and you can hear her laughter.

Lotta and Agnetha sit by the lake (most of the interview is done outside, but there are also shots of her sitting inside on a white sofa with a bowl of flowers behind her).

The saddest moment in the documentary is when she sings her song "Sometimes when I'm Dreaming". During that song Lotta and Agnetha talk about love.

L: Is there happy love?
A: Love should be happy but, unfortunately, it is not always that. There's also a tremendous amount of unhappiness in love. The one who finds happiness and love should be congratulated. And be able to make that love last. One needs to work a for it.
L: One can yearn and one can always also dream.
A: Yes, you can do that. One can yearn. Yes, it is fine when you can have that.
L: Can you do that? A: Yes

It is a touching and very special interview.
