Linn's vibrato control and tremolo at 3:36 and 3:56 is the best I've ever heard in "pop music". I wonder if she was mimicking Nordic folk style techniques like kulning (yodeling) considering where she grew up. She seems to enjoy tweaking words/syllables into different pitches and through different registers with incredible quickness and fluidity in most songs I've heard. It's almost like she's too bored just singing things straight, like she needed a challenge maybe? A TRUE rare talent. We probably won't ever see someone like her again in popular music. God bless, where ever you be Malin.
Perfect band, perfect voices. Linn, how we miss you. I know you got tired and dissapointed for some sort of things, but you really were loved by your fans.
They are perfect! Even though they looked tired but still they're powerful and Linn is the sun which never gets down the hills. I love you Linn, hope you'll come back one day.
Dios mio, desde los 90s hasta ahora que veo estos videos de estas preciosuras cantando mi corazonsito❤️ me recuerda que sigo enamorado de ellas😍, todas unas divas, unas diosas.
I've seen many live performances of AoB of course, i feel Linn is uncomfortable in such live concerts. She all the time closed her eyes. I believe she wanted to escape through her song to feel better. She loves singing but not in front of that crowd. She seems to be a kind woman, a great Lady. She really gave her best in studios. She is the leader and the singer.
NAD BALLY she always seems uncomfortable in live performances and it's simply because she doesn't want to be there I've read that she's an introvert and that she never wanted to do this in the first place and never thought that they would rise as high as they did and what have to perform in front of crowds like this. She's beautiful and she has the voice of an Angel it would be great if she came back but it probably won't happen.
1:20 that is so funny, the keyboard player plays the wrong note and linn is like "wtf?" but she finds the beat again and does the thing with her finger
She's retired since the flowers album and her sister jenny is the front singer. The reason why she withdrew... i think it's the thing she hasn't been longer the front singer... and then she got depressed. In fact it's really sad... she's a goddess and her voice is one of the best i have ever heard. Malin i miss you so much!!! :-((
+bufferl Actually, Linn sang on Da Capo, the album following Flowers (and the last real Ace of Base album). She even sang lead on "Ordinary Day". As for why Linn left, basically it was because she had never wanted to be famous (her brother Jonas kind of pushed her into this business, and nobody expected such a high level of fame), and after several years she got tired of being a pop star. It was too much attention all of the time for her (she is introverted and a very private person), and the stalker attack didn't help. Jenny took over the lead singing role because Linn no longer wanted to do it. The record company executives tried to force her to be the lead singer, but she fought back until they gave up (on her and eventually the band). Linn stayed with the band in the background for years, due to contractual obligations, and once those were finished, she left and has been much happier since. I don't know whether Linn suffered from actual clinical depression (I hope not), but she was unhappy to be forced to remain for years. She's doing fine now, though. And she was never upset over Jenny becoming the lead singer--it's what she and Jenny both wanted. I think that Linn had always planned to be the second or backup singer from the start, but when the producers had Jenny and her sing every song solo, so that they could choose which parts to mix and match, they fell in love with Linn's voice and singing, effectively making her the lead singer, and then the executives fell in love with her face. From the band's point of view the two sisters were always equal until Linn decided to step back; to most everyone else, however, Linn was the frontwoman, and indeed without her Ace of Base no longer had any success. So they will no longer attempt to come back without her (tried twice and failed), and while Linn is feeling good and is well rested now, she has never given an indication that she has any interest in coming back. If she changes her mind and Jenny is also willing, then Ace of Base could return, but I don't see that happening, so Ace of Base is probably finished. The only hope is if Linn feels a need to sing songs that she wrote and are important to her, like she once wanted to so much, but the record companies burned her on this, and she very much dislikes them and the whole music business as a result. She's happy now and wants to stay that way, so I don't think her return is going to happen. I want whatever makes her happy--I just wish that there were a way for her and her fans to be happy at the same time. :) Linn never wanted to be a pop star, though, so we're lucky that we had her at all, and will have to be content with that. But still, once we've heard such beauty, it is hard to not want more of it....
Hey syik! Good to see you again. I remember you from the TAB forum! Just be aware: the above "rbrtck" has a long history of mixing truth, half truths, and false claims in countless videos of AOB. Examples: he claims Jenny refused to do any collabs with Jonas and Ulf. I disapproved this with receipts from Jenny's own channel, and now rbrtck pretends he never mentioned it. Another example: he claims Ulf got the AOB name from a really obscure natsi submarine base. Again he failed to back up his defamation. Another: he claimed the guys mistreated Clara n Julia. Aside from the admittedly questionable ghosting, there is no evidence of so called mistreatment Moral of the day: be aware of deliberate attempts by bad faith posters to push misinformation
Ace of base рассыпалась.Эта песня класс и песня. НО хочу сказать один минус песне.Минус то что мужчины только подпевают.А девушки поют почти всю песню.Но всеровно песня вау...
que buena banda y que buen recital!!! Es una lástima que Linn no haya querido seguir porque evidentemente después de 1998 -que ella empezó a participar menos- decayó bastante la popularidad del grupo, sin desmerecer a Jenny claro pero sin Linn no fue lo mismo...
¿Cómo pueden haber tantos necios que digan que no cantan en directo cuando la voz de Linn suena muy bien pero con una clara variación al acabar las palabras?Da un giro en las últimas vocales que no lo hace en los temas grabados,escuchen atentamente pues se oye con mucha claridad.Jenny acaba de estar de gira por USA,ella sigue con su carrera y actuando por todo el mundo.
