There's no reason someone can't be a fan of ABBA, the Carpenters, John Denver, Olivia Newton-John and also be a fan of Led Zeppelin, Queen, Journey, etc.
It’s easy for people to dismiss ABBA. But those people just don’t get how sophisticated some of their music is. And the girls voices....unmatched in so many ways. Seeing their songs live really gives you an idea of how good they are.
ABBA’s music has stood the test of time. Quality music and beautiful voices. ❤️ Re - bad comments - My grandfather used to say if you have nothing good to say, then just say nothing at all. James, I have to say that I love your reactions, and you are a lovely guy.
Their harmonies are superb. Their songs are far from simple, people who say that have missed the point. Pure talent makes the complex seem simple and Abba were pure talent. They wrote their own songs, did their own arrangements and interpreted them with those deceptively simple but beautiful harmonies. Groovy indeed!!!
The songs (especially the lyrics) are so well written, that they sound simple. How many performers can say they belonged to a group that 10 years existed from 1972 on, with music that nowadays is still world famous?
Originally, the lyrics were only meant to give Frida and Agnetha something to sing. Their voices were seen as instruments and the sound of their vocals meant more than the meaning of the words they sang. Their lyrics improved as Bjorn became more comfortable with English. There are a few channels on RUclips that breakdown the harmonies on various ABBA songs. They are VERY complex and that is the True ABBA sound in my opinion. Sometimes the guys would come up with the harmonies, sometimes the ladies would.
You're not alone, entire generations grew up loving Agnetha, she's stunning, even now at her age, such a beautiful woman, and voice, Mamma Mia indeed lol
My brother met Agnetha through his job (i'm from Sweden), and he told me she is very kind, positive and humble. She didn't use her stardom in a negative way at all, just wanted to be treated as everybody else. A very likeable person!
None of us could keep our eyes off Agnetha. As girls we ALL wanted to be her. Growing up we thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I've always been a fan being born in 1970, I grew up with their music and I loved it.
my mom's favorite Abba song was "I Believe in Angels"... i started liking it too. We played it for her when we laid her to rest. And now the lyrics of that song will make me think of her. I can just imagine her now singing WITH the angels.
Fantastic ABBA....ENTERTAINING and deep at the same time....happy and sad.. reality and glam.. alltogettheer...plus beauty and talent.. songwriting Genius and moving
You're my favorite reviewer JB because you listen with your heart and don't take too many breaks. When you say you are getting an education from the music, and healing, well that's great because you pass that healing on to us who also have been suffering from the 'dead zone' which is today's culture.
totally agree, other ones are screamers and do it for the views, here I got life/family stories and I see he really enjoys the music. I like his reaction when I know that something is coming and he didn't expected it
i'm a 56 year old guy who is into many styles of music. But ABBA are just about as good as it gets. Here in the UK, back in the 70's they were never respected by the cool people...it was considered to POPular. I never dissed ABBA, I always knew that they were incredibly talented. One hit after another.......And, all the really good British musicians and singers like Queen, ELO, Genesis etc., always praised the amazing song writing , arrangements, production and unique and frankly , jaw-dropping vocal performances of the two girls.
You bring hope to humanity, keep doing what you’re doing, I’m a metal head from the 80s but my parents listened to the 70s as it came out and two bands I loved from the 70s is Fleetwood Mac and ABBA!
I've always loved ABBA. My favorites by them are "The Winner Takes It All", "Fernando", "Chiquitita" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You". Catchy pop songs are always fun, and I have a certain nostalgic connection to this era of music.
ABBA is one of the BEST !!! I love their music and their clothes, epic seventies gold. Thank you for all your hard work I look forward to your reactions you are GREAT!!!! Keep up the great work !!!!!
This is astonishing. This song here is called amazing, funky and groovy by a young American. Back in my youth (70s´+80s´) in Europe it was kind of embarrassing to call ABBA as a favorite, allthough they hit the rankings there with 20 no.1 hits. People said: too clean washed, too smooth, no jive, just mainstream. That´s why ABBA never succeeded in U.S. (except for Dancing Queen). Now I see, today many Americans love ABBA songs. What has changed?
I'm so happy you found ABBA. They have such a huge catalogue of songs. Their voices are so unique and many singers find it hard to replicate their notes. :)
I love ABBA. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. People who come here with their hate obviously have other issues they need to deal with instead of lashing out here. Take care of your problems elsewhere. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your reactions.🖤❤️
ABBA is perfectionist. They made sure that whatever they put out there is nothing short of perfect. Even their musicians, they only hired Sweden's creme-dela-creme. When all these talented people get into work, they can only produce magic.
You know the guitar player and blond were married and the piano player and dark hair lady were married. The men wrote all the music, lyrics and composition. Very talented group
ABBA has such a fun uplifting songs. They sound shiny and bright. Enjoy them. I listened to them back to in the 70s. Ignore the negativity, you are doing great. Enjoy exploring some fantastic music.
I’m from the 70’s and I’m a Latina who listen to all kind of music than & now. I knew than that lots of my peers didn’t like ABBA music and were negative. I didn’t care I love & enjoy listening to their music. So for those with negative comments TOUGH!!! You keep doing what you’re doing. Love your reactions & your love for all kind of music. Bravo! 👏🏼👍🏼😊❤️
FUN FACTS - ABBA is an acronym for the members names. Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, Anni-Frid ''Frida''. Early on, the girls had to learn the songs phonetically because they didn't speak English. Agnetha and Bjorn were married and Frida and Benny were married. Unfortunately, the marriages didn't last.
This was Abba's second (UK) No.1, in 1975. As soon as I heard it, I just knew there was a lot more to come from the group & they would be one of the all-time greats. I enjoy seeing your reactions, too, James. They help me rediscover the joy I first felt hearing the music.
If you couldn't take your eyes of Angetha, watch 'My Love My Life'. Angetha's finest performance ever and my god she was so so so so so so stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both the female singers were classically trained opera singers and you can see how they pronounce each word that they are truly gifted artists. Love the band.
Anni-Frid...is so beautiful and has the most beautiful singing voice aswell as a very elegant speaking voice...she is very humble....she has the most beautiful accent when she talks to everyone...she's playful and very exciting to watch in the live performances...she has heaps of crisma and energy.....Agnetha is the same, she has totally beautiful attributes aswell.💖 💖
Nice to imagine you working in your warehouse with ABBA songs going through your head. I’m sure you would agree, even the “sad” ones are so melodic and colourful. One thing l love about many of their songs is that echoey intro with the piano and the girls expressing themselves with such feeling and conviction.
People that can hate on ABBA must have some personal issues. I get not like a certain type of music but there’s no reason to spew hate over it. ABBA were 4 talented people and the music was just so well crafted and there is no way you can feel down while listening to them. The quality of their songs are the reason they are still fresh in 2019
This Song has a Movie Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia(Here we go again) and the 2 ABBA Boys might plan to make a part 3...and soon by 2020 they will release new songs newly recorded...as Usual the 2 girls are so Pitch Perfect Ever...Agnetha and Frida...I am glad that they are back ...My fave Group Ever #ILoveABBA #WelcomeBackABBA #ABBAForevermoreEternity
The blond, Agnetha, is hard to keep your eyes off of even though Anna is gorgeous too. There’s just something about Agnetha. Even now at 70, she’s still beautiful...
Your mention of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' brings to mind one of ABBA's very best songs, 'I Let the Music Speak,' which has a similar sound. They never made an official clip for it and it's not one of their well-known songs, but it's definitely worth a listen.
ABBA is one of those groups I grew up with and It makes me smile and even kinda tear up that your generation finds them entertaining as well. Thanks man. And I too worked in warehouse on 1st, 2nd shift and 3rd shifts.
James you are so sweet and I LOVE your reactions!! I'm a new subscriber and I LOVE all the old songs! I was in my teens and early twenties when Abba was popular! Thank you for the videos! Don't listen to the negative comments, just listen to ALL the good ones! Take care! Your new subscriber from Australia!
There is a movie called Muriel's wedding which stars Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths. The movie features a lot of Abba music and is a terrific movie to boot. If you ever get the chance, watch it. You will love it.
Cant really tell how happy I am to have found your ABBA channel!!!!! I am a fan of YOU . Just beacuse your reactions makes me happy! Just soooo found it ....makes my heart sing!
Ur positivity and kindness brings me back everyday to watch your videos I love these man keep up the good work! Also try out some more Bruce Springsteen songs he’s a legend!
Great review....next do ABBA’s “Fernando”....only song that the first time I heard it on the car radio I looked at my wife and said “that’s going to number 1”....
You know what's really cool? Watching Abba's debut on live television. It was the Eurovision contest (kind of like America's Got Talent, except in Europe). It's a live performance. No lip synching. Google "Eurovision 1974 Waterloo". This was when the world first saw them.
Agnetha, the blonde made an album in 2013. Maybe you can react to her single ‘when you really loved someone’. You’ll see and hear what she looks and sound likes these days.
It's awesome to see a smile on the face of such a young person that is being exposed to the music of my generation. Back when they had to KNOW how to play/sing and wasn't reliant on auto-tune. Glad you enjoyed this!
You have to listen to the song "I wonder" from ABBA. THere is no video, but you can find the song on RUclips with the album sleeve as thumbnail. It still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.
Abba's songs written by the 2 guys and sung by the 2 girls. You've still got SOS and Fernando to look forward to. Surprisingly, they also wrote One Night in Bangkok by Murray Head.
Good honest words JB..yeahi remember watching Abba on mtv in early 80s.thinking as a lil guy.i love that blonde...lol.Agnetha is her name.got me thru puberty LOL
Although I have never met you & live far away from your country, to me you are very special. I understand how you felt with Mama Mia & others from ABBA. Take care of yourself. Don't work TOO HARD!!! xxx
I have soon seen/ watched all of your ABBA reactions. I have my favourite song, but for every single song I listen too, I'm surprised. Oh yeah, this one is so good to!
I have been an ABBA fan since I was a kid in the 80’s thanks to my late father we played and sang ABBA all the time!! My sister and I have kept that tradition going with her kids and I hope to share ABBA with my kids if I ever have any God bless ABBA and I will love them till the day I die
You are a beautiful person. Thank you for everything that you say and do. Do NOT waste your precious time listening to the haters. They are empty inside. And your soul is full and soaring. Let it go, brother. Be you. Be proud. Be happy! Love you some good music
Just discovered your amazing channel this weekend and have been binge watching! I love you and your very positive energy. Has anyone recommended the movie, Mama Mia? The whole thing is an Abba soundtrack. I think you'd enjoy it. Thanks for all you do!
You seem like such a nice guy. I'm not the biggest Abba fan, but I love them a little more because you do. You do bring a nice light to this kaleidoscope of color we call life.
Talking about Bohemian Rhapsody: Which song got to #1 in Britain in 1975 right after Bohemian Rhapsody sat there for 9 weeks? exactly, this song, Mamma Mia. Golden 70's.
Thx JBL - During the 70's, I didn't admit to liking Abba, or similar music, as I was more into the rock bands, but I definitely appreciate them more and more as the years go by. HAVE TO react to "Dancing Queen" = their best song IMHO!!
Thanks. I don't want to see any hateful comments, either. That's not why I watch these reactions, but I've had a couple of negative reactions to my own comments on other channels, just because someone disagrees with my opinion. There's no point in responding to negativity from someone I don't even know. This is your channel, & your right to set limits. Good for you!
Don't underestimate yourself JB,,, one person can change the world, it's just a work in progress. Love you much, you change my world cuz it feels like im sitting with a good friend, just listening to tunes..
Yes J, there is soooo much music to listen too, also , try to read about the groups and try doing 3 or 4 reactions of the same groups in a row . That would be kool.I said to you before ,go back in the way back machine and listen to the big bands , and work your way up to though the years. When I was in high school , I never listened to the music of the day, I listened to CBS FM an oldies station in NYC. And never ashamed to admit it. I’m glad your spirits are up! Good luck at work!
I agree with you ... this is "happy music" ... music that makes you feel good. What is wrong with that ... Nothing!! You keep it up and I for one, will follow along on your "Happy Train"!
Much love and blessings from Canada. Thank you so much for reacting and sharing the music I'm so glad you're out told you to react Alba they seem to be so awesome and I watched a movie called Mamma Mia so I am so enjoying this but I have also enjoyed a lot of your reactions you have I'm very real expression or comments you can tell it's just pure music that you enjoy God bless you

I’m a 70’s rocker and am proud to admit I love ABBA....
There's no reason someone can't be a fan of ABBA, the Carpenters, John Denver, Olivia Newton-John and also be a fan of Led Zeppelin, Queen, Journey, etc.
It’s easy for people to dismiss ABBA. But those people just don’t get how sophisticated some of their music is. And the girls voices....unmatched in so many ways. Seeing their songs live really gives you an idea of how good they are.
oh yeah... 70s had it all
laura kali A 70s rocker could never have admitted that at the time
@@personalcheeses8073 in that way, things are better now, good music is good music...
ABBA’s music has stood the test of time. Quality music and beautiful voices. ❤️
Re - bad comments -
My grandfather used to say if you have nothing good to say, then just say nothing at all.
James, I have to say that I love your reactions, and you are a lovely guy.
He is. Lovely soul. Empathic to the world. Bless him.
SECONDED! There r a lot of angry, sad ppl who feel free 2 behave like trash. So sorry, kiddo~
I totally agree! What a lovely guy James is, and so very intelligent.
Their harmonies are superb. Their songs are far from simple, people who say that have missed the point. Pure talent makes the complex seem simple and Abba were pure talent. They wrote their own songs, did their own arrangements and interpreted them with those deceptively simple but beautiful harmonies. Groovy indeed!!!
And they had a great recording engineer in Michael B Tretow who made magic in his studio long before computers.
The songs (especially the lyrics) are so well written, that they sound simple. How many performers can say they belonged to a group that 10 years existed from 1972 on, with music that nowadays is still world famous?

Even us girls loved her and all wanted to be her lol
ABBA has a lot of beautiful music. They were different from everyone. Dancing Queen is one of my favs....ignore the haters. We love your videos.
As a teenager, i always fancied Frida (Brunette). The vocal range of these women was amazing.
Me too. Everyone loved the blonde...but I really like the brunette!
Mike Dignum They were very good vocally but to use the word amazing to describe their voices is amazing
A Frida man myself from day one😀
The smile on your face tells us everything we need to know about how you feel about ABBA
The biggest band that came out of the Eurovision Song Contest and they didn't look back
None of us could keep our eyes off Agnetha. As girls we ALL wanted to be her. Growing up we thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I've always been a fan being born in 1970, I grew up with their music and I loved it.

I Have A Dream. Yes, such a beautiful song. My condolences.
Waterloo, SOS, and Fernando are great ones as well. Amazing actually
SOS is one of my faves
You're an empath JB. 💕 ABBA is amazing. This was my early childhood; you're right. My generation grew up with the best music. 🎵🎶🎵🎶😍
Fantastic ABBA....ENTERTAINING and deep at the same time....happy and sad.. reality and glam.. alltogettheer...plus beauty and talent.. songwriting Genius and moving

Bob. My 2 Faves as well!
Best band ever. I have never found a bad ABBA's song.
I've always loved ABBA. My favorites by them are "The Winner Takes It All", "Fernando", "Chiquitita" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You". Catchy pop songs are always fun, and I have a certain nostalgic connection to this era of music.
4 of my absolute favourites, as well along with "I Do,I Do,I Do,I Do,I Do "..:)
ABBA is one of the BEST !!! I love their music and their clothes, epic seventies gold. Thank you for all your hard work I look forward to your reactions you are GREAT!!!! Keep up the great work !!!!!
Loved ABBA for 45years-still among the absolute favs♥️
I'm. Metal head and love ABBA, so do my friends 😎
I.m an old man now and ABBA still fill me with joy.
This is astonishing. This song here is called amazing, funky and groovy by a young American.

Love the way your EYES LIGHT UP when you hear a song you DIG..
I'm so happy you found ABBA. They have such a huge catalogue of songs. Their voices are so unique and many singers find it hard to replicate their notes. :)

Abba was polished band . Amazing harmonies . The writing was so creative .
ABBA is perfectionist. They made sure that whatever they put out there is nothing short of perfect. Even their musicians, they only hired Sweden's creme-dela-creme. When all these talented people get into work, they can only produce magic.
ABBA always have a story in their songs that´s why you got hooked,,,,,,,,,,,,,LOVE FROM SWEDEN❤❤❤
More ABBA! Knowing me knowing you is a great song, too!!! Give it a shot.
My fave ABBA song ;)
You know the guitar player and blond were married and the piano player and dark hair lady were married. The men wrote all the music, lyrics and composition. Very talented group
ABBA has such a fun uplifting songs. They sound shiny and bright. Enjoy them. I listened to them back to in the 70s. Ignore the negativity, you are doing great. Enjoy exploring some fantastic music.

Man, do I feel that. Agnetha's voice is amazing, as well as her looks. You should check out ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All."
ABBA is magnificent! Too many songs that are so great I cannot pick one over the other.
They get their name from the letters of their first names Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid.
Very good all the ABBA music always .
This is an extraordinary pop group to World level . Very high standar . I love ABBA !!!!
FUN FACTS - ABBA is an acronym for the members names. Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, Anni-Frid ''Frida''. Early on, the girls had to learn the songs phonetically because they didn't speak English. Agnetha and Bjorn were married and Frida and Benny were married. Unfortunately, the marriages didn't last.
Good job on the name most people don't know that I was going to say that ,I'm 52 and just learned that, cool
Abba have fans around the world After 40 years. Their. Music is timeless. Welcome to the club
Я кайфую від того, як ти кайфуєш, коли слухаєш Abba . :) Your reaction is cool. Thank you!
This was Abba's second (UK) No.1, in 1975. As soon as I heard it, I just knew there was a lot more to come from the group & they would be one of the all-time greats. I enjoy seeing your reactions, too, James. They help me rediscover the joy I first felt hearing the music.
Blonde girl is called Agnetha.
Paddy P WOW go back to 😴
Yep! She is really beautiful, just like Frida! Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Frida make ABBA!
after Queen this is my second favorite band.
I totally agree ABBA and Queen are my top two favorite bands!!
not a bad choice
Sorry but abba are no1...then bee gees...
If you couldn't take your eyes of Angetha, watch 'My Love My Life'. Angetha's finest performance ever and my god she was so so so so so so stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck with your job! I love your enthusiasm. Yes Abba is great, and Agneta is a beautiful girl. I agree.
Both the female singers were classically trained opera singers and you can see how they pronounce each word that they are truly gifted artists. Love the band.
"She's hot." You said what we were all thinking.
Anni-Frid...is so beautiful and has the most beautiful singing voice aswell as a very elegant speaking voice...she is very humble....she has the most beautiful accent when she talks to everyone...she's playful and very exciting to watch in the live performances...she has heaps of crisma and energy.....Agnetha is the same, she has totally beautiful attributes aswell.💖 💖

What was so fantastic about ABBA was that their Swedish and could write songs in perfect english dialogue
I subscribed because of all your ABBA reviews! Thanks much!
Great review....next do ABBA’s “Fernando”....only song that the first time I heard it on the car radio I looked at my wife and said “that’s going to number 1”....
Can't help thinking of the way this song was used in Priscilla Queen of the Desert! Classic!
Amazing music unites us all. 💕
This was the first 7" vinyl I ever bought. 45p (British pennies), The Record Room, St. Albans January 1976. I remember the day well.
ABBA rocks. Hugs from Europe. Forget all the hate. I am am with you.
Love how you discover these great old songs the same way I felt when I first heard them . Jblethal you are the best. Thank you
You know what's really cool? Watching Abba's debut on live television. It was the Eurovision contest (kind of like America's Got Talent, except in Europe). It's a live performance. No lip synching. Google "Eurovision 1974 Waterloo". This was when the world first saw them.

Good honest words JB..yeahi remember watching Abba on mtv in early 80s.thinking as a lil guy.i love that blonde...lol.Agnetha is her name.got me thru puberty LOL
Rock Me, Does Your Mother Know, Andante, Andante. All by ABBA, all great. Give a listen.
Although I have never met you & live far away from your country, to me you are very special. I understand how you felt with Mama Mia & others from ABBA. Take care of yourself. Don't work TOO HARD!!! xxx
You may already know this but ABBAs songs were so good they wrote a Broadway musical called Mamma Mia that included the songs you are listening to.
Congratulations JB! Good luck! Nobody has time for hate! We are all just trying to get through life!
I have soon seen/ watched all of your ABBA reactions. I have my favourite song, but for every single song I listen too, I'm surprised. Oh yeah, this one is so good to!
I have been an ABBA fan since I was a kid in the 80’s thanks to my late father we played and sang ABBA all the time!! My sister and I have kept that tradition going with her kids and I hope to share ABBA with my kids if I ever have any God bless ABBA and I will love them till the day I die
ABBA4EVR 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I miss the 70s. Great music, great times. ❤🥂👌🌟
You are a beautiful person. Thank you for everything that you say and do. Do NOT waste your precious time listening to the haters. They are empty inside. And your soul is full and soaring. Let it go, brother. Be you. Be proud. Be happy! Love you some good music
Just discovered your amazing channel this weekend and have been binge watching! I love you and your very positive energy. Has anyone recommended the movie, Mama Mia? The whole thing is an Abba soundtrack. I think you'd enjoy it. Thanks for all you do!
You seem like such a nice guy. I'm not the biggest Abba fan, but I love them a little more because you do. You do bring a nice light to this kaleidoscope of color we call life.
Talking about Bohemian Rhapsody: Which song got to #1 in Britain in 1975 right after Bohemian Rhapsody sat there for 9 weeks? exactly, this song, Mamma Mia. Golden 70's.
Yes, Agnetha was smokin'!
I love your comments and your reactions to the music, you're so positive and uplifting. Keep going you're great xx 🎧👏
Thx JBL - During the 70's, I didn't admit to liking Abba, or similar music, as I was more into the rock bands, but I definitely appreciate them more and more as the years go by. HAVE TO react to "Dancing Queen" = their best song IMHO!!
Those were great times. Music is wonderful!
Love your attitude, love your music choices, enjoy your vibe, so ignore the haters; they're jealous of the joy you find in this ol skool music x
Thanks. I don't want to see any hateful comments, either. That's not why I watch these reactions, but I've had a couple of negative reactions to my own comments on other channels, just because someone disagrees with my opinion. There's no point in responding to negativity from someone I don't even know.
This is your channel, & your right to set limits. Good for you!
Don't underestimate yourself JB,,, one person can change the world, it's just a work in progress. Love you much, you change my world cuz it feels like im sitting with a good friend, just listening to tunes..
My favorite ABBA song
Yes J, there is soooo much music to listen too, also , try to read about the groups and try doing 3 or 4 reactions of the same groups in a row . That would be kool.I said to you before ,go back in the way back machine and listen to the big bands , and work your way up to though the years. When I was in high school , I never listened to the music of the day, I listened to CBS FM an oldies station in NYC. And never ashamed to admit it.
I’m glad your spirits are up! Good luck at work!
I agree with you ... this is "happy music" ... music that makes you feel good. What is wrong with that ... Nothing!! You keep it up and I for one, will follow along on your "Happy Train"!
Much love and blessings from Canada. Thank you so much for reacting and sharing the music I'm so glad you're out told you to react Alba they seem to be so awesome and I watched a movie called Mamma Mia so I am so enjoying this but I have also enjoyed a lot of your reactions you have I'm very real expression or comments you can tell it's just pure music that you enjoy God bless you
My fav ABBA is gimme gimmie gimmie
Love it! They just made perfect pop songs, you could drop the needle anywhere on this track and land on a hook.
