ABBA'S 1990's revival - AGNETA FALTSKOG

Who's the best selling artist of the last decennium? Madonna? Oasis? The Spice Girls? No; Abba. The Abba Gold cd was sold 25 million times! Todays pop icons look bleak compared to Abba's worldwide succes. The singer Agneta is an E4 character;
- melancholic look
- naivity/negative focus; 'when we stopped with Abba I thought we would be forgotten within a few years…I never realized the impact our music had'
- 'I want to show my talent but not be adored by the masses'
- longing for what's not there and pushing away what's there; when Abba started she was the most ambitious, but when Abba became succesfull the ambition strangely disappeared and she started to long for time for her children, uncontrolled fears, conflicts in the band and her divorce of Bjorn.
- 'On the stage I was radiating but behind the screen I was a wreck'
- she hated the 'quickness' of the show world
