Is it me or does she seem different in this interview?  I find her flirty, "breathy" and giggly which doesn't seem her usual style. She also seems very much like Princess Diana. In the interview, she was asked about making another ABBA album and she says, "I don't mind".

Agnetha stalling at the start of I Won't Let You Go - it seems that if she doesn't get a move on and get up from her seat, she's going to miss her cue but she does it just in time!
