RIP Marie Fredriksson. Roxette, one could argue are the most internationally successful band (apart from ABBA) to come out of Sweden. This was one of their biggest hits, going gold in 1990. For your next one, I recommend "Joyride", which is just a fun groovy song. You can also do "Fading Like a Flower", "Dangerous", or "How Do You Do!". BTW, if you haven't yet, add "Pretty Woman" (which this song is from) to your movie list. It stars Julie Roberts and Richard Gere and is one of the most endearing films of all time.

Right. From what I understand, Per had taught Marie enough about guitar work to make it look like she could play during the MV. I am not sure she actually played guitar (or was it Bass?). I could be wrong, she may have been a great player, I just never got to see them live in order to know. Obviously she really did play Piano, though, which is difficult enough on its own. RIP to an awesome performer.

This is one of Roxette's biggest songs. It hit number one on the Billboard chart in the summer of 1990. Amber and Jay, please react to the movie "Pretty Woman" which this song is from and is played in snippets in the video. The film is a classic and stars Richard Gere in a great comeback role and Julia Roberts in a huge star making performance. The role of Vivian in "Pretty Woman" is arguably her best performance and she received a lead actress Oscar nomination for it. You both would love this film. I am shocked you guys didn't recognize her in the video.

Once you're done with spooky season movies, please add Pretty Woman to your movie watchlist. Yes, Jay, it's romantic, but it's romantic, but it's so good! My late dad loved Julia Roberts, and this was his favourite movie of hers (probably his favourite movie period), so it holds a very special place in my heart. I can't even count how often he, my mom (also a fan, also gone) & I watched it together.

I was a teenager when this first played on TV. I was passing the living room fast to go out. I stopped at the front door, walked backwards to the living room, leaned on the door frame, and listened to the end. There was something about the lyrics and that unique voice that captivated me. Everytime I heard it since, it had the same effect as the first time. I have goosebumps hearing it now. RIP Marie Fredriksson. It must've been love from your fans, and I doubt it was ever over. Her other song "Listen To Your Heart" has similar effect.

She had an amazing ability to convey emotions with her voice!

R.I.P. Marie!💫💫 A wonderful voice, a magic artist is gone way too early!😔 Saw you least at 'night of the proms' in germany 2009!! You and Per performed wonderful!!!🙏🙏

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Dressed for success"

I love the old songs ! Back when you actually had to have a voice to sing

Roxette... the soundtrack of my youth!!

Her voice was one in 10 billion. Shear beauty.

Such a stunning lady that passed way before her time! Her voice and talent is amazing!

Marie Fredriksson was a great singer and a courageous woman. Roxette's best song to show off her voice is "Spending My Time," and to hear her really rock out try "Hot Blooded". You may not remember Roxette because she and Per Gessle split the lead vocals, and I think you did a song where he was out front more.

Fun fact. This song was originally a christmas song, first rejected ny EMI Germany. But the song was popular at EMI Sweden in 1987 . The movie director Garry Marshall called Per Gessle and asked him to present a song that would fit the movie. Per who was in the middle on a tour panicked and said he didnt have the time, but remembered the christmas song. He said they could change some lyrics and present it. Garry loved it, and said they would re edit the movie because he didnt want any dialog over the song.

This is actually your third time listening to them. You first did The Look for female Friday - but didn't hear much of her voice. Then you did Listen to Your Heart - which is just a fantastic vocal and one of her best. And this is your third.

It’s the key changes in this song. it’s incredible. Notice the key she starts in and then where she winds up at the end. SO many singers could never do that- If you sing, she’s phenomenal to be able to just take it higher and higher 3 times. And she just gets better and stronger as she goes higher- 10 🌟 s

I also recommend "Call of the Wild", "Surrender", Fading Like a Flower", and/or "Almost Unreal" to hear more of Marie's wonderful voice.

An absolute classic, beautiful. Another lovely ballad they did was Crash Boom Bang 👍. Such a talent and taken way too soon 😢

Jay & Amber, You did their "You Got The Look" and "Listen To Your Heart" about a year ago.

YES!!!! its been too long since you did Roxette. Now you Just need to do alot more of them. The last song you did from them was "listen to your heart"

This song was made for headphones with the volume UP!!! RIP Marie, you wonderful Angel. 💜

Roxette were HUGE in the 90's. Brings back lots of memories.

Roxette is one of my all-time favorites with a hefty playlist. Joyride album is so great. But they had come great songs all around, The Look, Listen to your Heart, Do You Get Excited, Crash Boom Bang...the list continues. Marie went through so much health wise, but came back and toured with Per and the band for years. She passed a few years ago and is still missed.

Listening to this and watching Pretty Woman on the same Friday, would've been perfect♥♥♥ "Listen to Your Heart," is another great listen.

Such a tragedy to lose her voice! I loved Roxette from the minute I heard them back in the 90's (how's that for dating myself?) and own about everything they ever produced. RIP Marie, you'll forever be missed!

Spending my Time & Fading Like a Flower are two of my favs you should def check out! I love Roxette

Oh a huge rabbit hole of loveliness!Marie's voice is amazing xx

I can't hear this song without thinking about the Pretty Woman movie with Julia Roberts. And yeah she was awesome singer RIP Marie Fredriksson.

Great voice, RIP Marie

The look, the gestures, the voice. Sublime. So much music, but not enough time.

If you ever see the film Pretty Woman you’ll hear this song.. Both this song and the movie were huge back in 1990

RIP Marie. This is from the Soundtrack for "Pretty Woman" which is why you keep seeing Julia Roberts & Richard Gere throughout the video. Huge movie in the 80's and put Juila Roberts on the map but might be before your time.

Roxette is awesome! And they are so much more than the songs they play in the United States. Their record label, EMI, refused to promote them in other US, so they didn't get proper exposure here. Some of their other great songs are "Go To Sleep", "It Hurts", "Things Will Never Be the Same", and "Opportunity Nox"...just to name a few. They are so underrated, it's really sad.

Sorry she passed away…she had a great voice. And yes, you MUST watch Pretty Woman if you haven’t. One of Julia Roberts’ and Richard Gere’s best.

She's got the look by Roxette is arguably their best song and I like it.

Dangerous by roxette is another banger you should check out R.I.P. Marie you are missed incredible talent Gone to soon 💔💔💔

Saw them at the Fox theater in 1991. Totally awesome show. Surreal graphics, all shadows and light. You've Got The Look also a very good song.

“Listen to your heart” was their biggest hit, but they had so many others. They could rock and they could ballad.

This was originally a Christmas song in Sweden buy was rewritten by Per Gessle of roxette for the sound track for the film Pretty Women

Yessss, such a great song…..love Roxette #PrettyWoman

I have never been able to figure out what it is about this song but there is just SOMETHING. Absolutely love it.

Love this song so much. I was going through a break up after 5 years when this song came out. Wow all those feelings keep rushing back.

I love this song!! They play it on the movie Pretty Woman

Their Spanish album is fantastic and I really only listen to that Lol She sounds great in Spanish. She was friends with Frida from AꓭBA and did a couple of duets with her. And this song was HUGE back then.

Oh man! Reminds me of Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Roxette, beautiful voice, gone too soon 😔

I loved Roxette. Their song “Joyride” was the soundtrack of my junior high summers. As many have mentioned, Marie Fredriksson died in 2019 after battling brain cancer for 17 years, may she RIP

Such a powerful voice, gone too soon. RIP

This is still one of my favorite ballads from one of my favorite bands!!! Fading like a flower.

Amber this is Roxette's most famous song due to being in the film PRETTY WOMAN and definitely one of my favourite slow love songs.

Ever since they came along, there was never that long of a gap before I put on their music again. Including a CD of their I got from McDonalds. Yeah, McDonalds. Marie Fredriksson's voice is just so magical.

Now you have to watch Pretty Woman on your movie channel. This song is very dominant in the movie. Also some Roy Orbinson as you might guess from the title. Great song!! Some of the scenes your seeing in the video are from the movie.

Fading Like a Flower is their best song, I think

RIP Marie. There's a live version out there and it really showcases the emotion from the band and from the fans.

I got this single when it came out. I literally listened to the cassette so much it wore out.

Always loved this song. Could not remember which one you all did but Jay it was not only one but two. You Got The Look and Listen to Your Heart. Keep up good work. You are such a cute couple.

This song was in the movie Pretty Woman Love you guys ❤️

Marie Fredriksson had such a beautiful voice .... Rosette were a great group. RIP Marie 😢

The lines Amber was paraphrasing was actually..."its were the wind blows" and "its were the water flows"

Roxette has some bangers. Check out "Dangerous" and "Joyride"

LOVE this song!!! Loved the movie too you should check it out when you're done with Halloween stuff. The lyrics are so sweet and tender. Make-believing we're together That I'm sheltered by your heart But in and outside I turn to water Like a teardrop in your palm 😭😭😭😭

Marie's voice gives me goosebumps. Roxette have so many amazing songs. I still remember hearing "The Look" for the first time in the '80's....and then it was hit after incredible hit! "It just happens" is simply stunning. RIP Marie - you are truly one of a kind!

This song (originally a christmas song), after being in 'Pretty Woman' shot to the top of the charts and they were not ready for the instant fame. After the tour for this album, They never toured the U.S. again.

More great Roxette songs are "Listen To Your Heart", "Fading Like A Flower" & "Spending My Time".

Ya'll definitely gotta do Pretty Woman over on your movie channel! That would be awesome 👌

Being a teenager back in the 90’s I remember this band were always in the charts, literally every song they released was a hit !!! Definitely have their own sound which is hard thing to do in the music industry. Great band.
