“When She Sings The Sun Always Shines . . . “
And I think I'm gonna write it on the walls of the world,
So everyone will know today the love I hold for you.
I will write it on the walls of the world,
So that the sun won't fade away the words I say to you:
I love you.
[Mike Batt, The Walls of the World. Album: Shizophenia]
The following tributes to Agnetha were sent to agnetha-forever by the participants of a quiz contest. They not only had to answer a quiz question (“What does Agnetha’s second forename “Åse”
mean? – Answer: “Goddess”) but had to contribute to a collection of nice comments about Agnetha.
So here it is, a wonderful bouquet of love declarations, published on the internet, written “on the walls of the world”. See the contributions of those who the
Goddess of Fortune declared winners, followed by those who didn’t win a prize but now can feel consolation by seeing their words appear in this collection.
Prize Winners:

Agnetha is a wonderful woman and artist. Her sweet smile delights me when I feel down and her charming voice can even make me cry. She puts all her feelings into her music, what makes it unique and very special.
I just love her!
2nd Prize (“De Första Åren” Box-Set): Petra Vovčko (Slovenia) petra_vovcko@email.si
The fact: We all love her!
The truth: She is a true goddess.
What can we say about her that hasn't already been written or said?
She made a great contribution to ABBA with her voice and she had a great solo career too. She gave us a new gift last year with her new album “My Colouring Book”. We all miss her being on stage.
Thank you Agnetha!
3rd Prize (Tio År med Agnetha CD): Pam Alvarado (USA) PamAlvarado@cox.net
Åse means goddess. We, as Agnetha fans love her. Some consider her the Goddess of Glam. I consider her a talented beautiful woman. I appreciate her and that is why I did a website based on her.

The following fan tributes appear by order of arrival:
I love Agnetha. She has the most angelic voice of an angel. She can sing the low notes, the high notes; she can sing all the notes! She had great costumes (like Waterloo) and I admire her. She inspired me to enter the junior Eurovision song contest. She loved to entertain, and I just would love to meet her some time!
Sam (United Kingdom)
I listen to Agnetha's records almost every day and can't get enough. She is so good in every way.
Jari (Finland)
To me Agnetha's voice is a bit like a goddess. What would ABBA be without her and her voice that blends so beautifully together with Frida's and forms a perfection.

I loooooove Agnetha so much! Ok, so you've never heard that before. :-)
But when I was about 11 years old and I first got ABBA Gold I was mesmorized by the beautiful music and, oooh, those pictures in the inner sleeve, of course Agnetha, who was this beauty, I was so in love and that's when my ABBA collection grew, when I first got a sneak at the solo stuff I couldn't stop. I was so grateful to be caught up in the hype of “My Colouring Book” last year, it meant so much to go out to HMV and see our Agnetha on the shelves with her NEW release, even better to hear her playing in stores and see shelves emptying!!
I LOVE AGNETHA !!! Hot pants and feeeeeeet !

Agnetha – The #1 Goddess
Linnie (Sweden)
Namnet Åse säger det redan: hon är en gudinna, vars röst är direkt från himlen. Hon sjunger som en ängel och så himlavacker!
The name Åse does express it already: She’s a goddess, her voice comes straightly from heaven. She sings like an angel and so heavenly beautiful! [Translation by webmaster]
Jarkko Ahonen (Finland)
Agnetha is a caring, nice and beautiful person. She loves her fans! She has given us so much! She sings from her heart, with her soul to us. Her beautiful voice! From the first time I heard her voice . . . I loved it! I will always be an Agnetha fan!
Thank you Agnetha! I love you!
Marita Kallekleiv (Norway)
Agnetha, an ethereal-looking lady with a crystal clear voice, is a fine example of a natural, gifted singer. So is Frida in her own way. We have been lucky to enjoy the beauty of their unique voices. Agnetha's fame has not gone to her head, and neither has Frida's. This is rare among today's stars.
Juan C. Laye (Uruguay)
I've always loved ABBA music, but what I especially like about their sound is Agnetha's voice, how you can hear the feeling she puts in every song, even when she's not the leading voice. I admit I became an ABBA fan because of that lady's voice . . . and I'll be always grateful to her for making this comeback to music after 17 years. And I hope it won't be her last work.
Liliana Nigro (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Is Agnetha a goddess?
Well, no, of course not, but she is a human being with the voice of an angel, and it’s the VOICE that makes her so special. Her voice is so emotive, she can make a simple word like "and" bring one close to tears. (Example: in "My love, my life," when she sings "You are my love AND my life, her voice quivers on the word "and" and this packs so much power that I melt every single time I hear it, and I’ve heard it a thousand times in the past 20 years.)
Richard (Canada)
Åse means goddess and to me she'll always be one. Much love Agnetha. Health and prosperity.
George Kocik (Canada)
Many pages have been written and tons of ink have been used to describe Agnetha.
What can anyone write anything anymore? We still try to find words and we still are pictures-addicted showing that our hobby wasn't only a teenage phase. People say that we are "trapped in the past" , I just call myself "stable" and trapped or not, that's what I enjoy.
I wish she can have a quiet life and to be left alone by the media who hurt her a lot.
Magda (Romania)
Mais forte do que estar apaixonado é o sentimento de reencontrar alguém de quem gostamos muito. Rever Agnetha é isso.
Stronger than being in love is the feeling of seeing someone we like very much again. Seeing Agnetha again is just this. [Thanks to Milena, Brasil, for the translation.]
Kiko Weber (Brasil)
Wenn sie singt, scheint die Sonne immer,
Wenn sie singt, bin ich glücklich wieder.
Sie hat die schönste Stimme der Welt,
sie bezaubert uns und wir scheinen, wie der Morgenstern.
When she sings the sun always shines
When she sings I am happy again.
She has the most beautiful voice in the world,
She charms us and we shine like the morning star. [Translation by webmaster]
Annamaria Kiss (Hungary)
She is that singer who captures me the most with her talent and personality. Her voice is so magical, her eyes are so sparkling, and she has always something to tell me through her songs, life, happiness and sorrow. She always gives me joy and inspiration.
Szabó Eszter (Hungary)
Thank you all for contributing! And who knows, perhaps you are among the winners next time.
