Special thanks to ‪@elvisgaragic9104‬ from ‪@SoundStruckStudios‬ Dubai for the mix/mastering
Thanks also to ‪@OvidioDeFerrari‬ for helping with the piano arrangement.
ABBA have made so many great songs! "The Winner Takes It All" was written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with Agnetha Fältskog singing the lead vocal. It is one of my absolute favs!
Lyrics:
I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain)
Why should I complain? (Why complain?)
But tell me, does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show (of the show)
Always staying low (staying low)
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all
And the loser has to fall
Throw the dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
And it's plain, why complain?

⭐️⭐️ 🏆 *An Award Winning Performance!* 🏆 ⭐️⭐️ Hi Emily! This is absolutely sensational in every way! You give us goosebumps as soon as you start to sing. This was actually Agnetha's favorite song; so what a delight in hearing you perform this in a way to make her proud! Your voice is epic! 👍 You look very elegant in that stunning brown frock, which is an impressive contrast to the golden frame of the Steinway grand piano! 🎹 Plus your playing is so impeccable and pretty as you show of your piano skills! The visuals and lighting of the video is bright and refreshing; plus the presentation has been brilliantly recorded with the piano in lovely stereo! 🔊 🎧 As soon as you start to sing at 0:15 with; ♫ "I don't wanna talk"♪; you draw us in with your majestic lower register vocals! Your voice has such a lush and rich smooth attribute; making it so irresistible to listen to as you sing! 🤗 We can't help but be blown away with the quality of your voice! It has so much emotion and is so heart-felt that it stirs us within; as we are totally captivated listening to this performance. 😊 💕 As you sing the chorus at 0:47, ♫ "The winner takes it all"♪; your dynamics come into play. The control in your vocals and vibrato is at an elite level indeed. Very impressive! Plus your piano arrangement must be commended; as you include such pretty playing like at 1:23 and throughout. 🎹 There's a beautiful close-up at 1:34 as you perform. Once again I must mention the lighting in this video is stellar! Everything is so crisp an clear! (nice work Christine!) 👍 Also it's worth mentioning that you work the camera well, though there's subtle eye-contact in this serious conveyance of the lyrics to this beautiful song! At 2:08 when your return from the chorus to sing; ♫ "Tell me does she kiss"♪; you sing so softly and tenderly in these gentler verses. You have the gift in your voice to continually stir our emotions from such fabulous vocals. This is truly remarkable and we are treated once more with a stunning close-up again at 3:05! What an awesome video!! 🎥 You blow us away with your performance, like at 3:14; ♫ "I don't want to talk"♪. It is so effective how you seem to caressingly speak (yet you sing), the lyrics about the relationship story of the song. Then wham with the dynamics of the chorus to follow! Wow what an impact!!❗️ At 4:08 you finish with a touch of pretty high notes; then your lovely smile at the end, that polishes the presentation nicely! One is left speechless after this performance!! This is absolutely sensational with just you and the piano! What a talent! This is one of your best recordings ever! *What a majestic performance!* What a dream for Agnetha to hear this recording, as she would be so impressed. I'm sure you'd make her very proud of this stunning rendition! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is massively incredible Emily! Bravo!! 👏 👏

Because Anni Frid had mezzo soprano voice, slighyly more metalic/bass while Agnetha was a soprano, with higher notes, more treble.
