@@CeRz Well. He’s actually a Barytone, but can sing up to a B4, which is Tenor-range. Soprano is a high female voice. I said one of the worlds top tenors, but if Jussi was alive he would take the top spot in my book. Tommy is of course not opera-schooled, but I still stand by my statement that he’s a world class Tenor.

@@samardevneo soprano is literally a word for "a boys voice" And tenor "a mans voice" Even though both ranges are head voices. Show me proof for your claims because you currently hold no merit by making false claims. "You still stand..." is not a good argument.

Some more facts: Benny and Björn had their own bands for several years before ABBA. Agneta was a singer and song writer doing well on her own too. Frida (Anni-Frid) did a lot of backup singing (if memory serves me). Stig Andersson (a producer) "created" ABBA by combining the 4 talented people working for his company (Polar), and promoting them in a very intelligent way. Benny became the song writer for ABBA, doing vocals and playing the piano. Björn wrote all the lyrics, and sang a few songs and played the guitar. After ABBA split they turned to musicals. Few seam to have registered those facts. It was always Agneta and Frida people talked about. The men are not noticed the same way.
