The singer/actor was "on top of her game" in (solo) public interviews, TV and certain music singles. (And generally, the period 1983-85 in her solo career. Although she was also about ready to step back from the limelight for extended periods. The link is to an essential 1985 interview for understanding Ms.Fältskog's direction and feelings at the time.)
Much more about Agnetha's various 1985 efforts, here (link). (Pronounced [aŋˈneːta] )
One sample video from that year: The artist trying a little different look/concept. Though perhaps not her absolute best song effort, an edgy (promo) video that could have been something of a hit at the time, IMO. (Wonder if she got to keep those 'MJ' glitter gloves.) A charismatic performer, almost no matter what (even in old vids., or with a play arrow covering her nose): We're treated to the pop soprano's (aside: Is it correct to "classify" pop voices?)... sexy lower voice at moments here. Plus, good Swedish-tinged English (language skills) on display in the fast-paced song:

And a better-looking/sounding version of the song is currently here (though truncated), as part of the nice 1985 TV special "A is for Agnetha". ("Click Track" is near the end:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8D1sOklwiw
Bonus: As long as it remains posted on YouTube another glimpse of the singer as a solo artist, from 1985 Belgian TV (link): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sTl0wAUDWQ
