To my mind, Agnetha and Frida are the best female vocal harmony duo of all time. Their voices are perfect together; the mezzo and the soprano complement each other without fighting for space on the staff.
I remember a documentary about them where they showed the ladies were exactly one octave apart with their vocals which is where they get that perfect harmony. The odds of that are almost impossible.
Apart from the songwritting genius of the guys,Abba's vocal and visual chemistry is a category on their own.These 2 girls vocal blending was Out of this world.
ABBA - is the best popband in history! Their music is timeless and versitale, have got so many kind of styles. I am from Sweden, close to Gothenburg 🎉 My favoritesong with Abba is hard to choose - for the moment I think it is ”The Name Of The Game” or ”I’ve Been Waiting For You”. You can’t find a better storyteller than Agnetha and her heartbreaking voice in songs like ”My Love, My Life” S.O.S., The Winner Takes It All, Slippering Through My Fingers or One Of Us. Cheers!
I couldn't agree more and I have been asking for years why that line is so special. I even saw a video with Frida back stage (older) singing that line as others performed the song. It has affected me forever. Something about those notes. Thank you.
It's not 200 but over 400 million records sold worldwide estimation also reported recently by the BBC in late.'21 and even more lately stated by BPI and still heading .Streamings are also solid strong and insistent for Abba from younger audiences and that's phenomenal for a band that was formed in 1972.Cheers.
Two pretty ladies. Handsome guys. Classy attire. No tattoos. Gaudy jewelry or nose rings. Great voices and a quality show offering classy entertainment. Dont get that combo anymore. From Bonita springs fl
Being born in 1970, I literally grew up with ABBA , it also happens I like the music and have all of the albums. I remember a documentary, which was released around the time of the Mamma Mia musical, and of course Benny and Bjorn were going through the music , and as a result they voiced displeasure at how complicated they made things with the arrangements. In another documentary, it was noted by both Ladies that Benny and Bjorn, never told them what part of the vocal line to sing , but let them ( Ladies ) experiment, and it always seem to work out, but that obviously the boys had an idea of what sound and of course they new the vocal ranges to a tee..
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes, a reaction to her performance of 'En Ledig Dag' would be cool. 😀 But for now I wonder where her other three announced ABBA reactions are? 🤔
ABBA got their first international break through in Australia due to Ian "Molly" Meldrum (host of Australian music TV show Countdown) "discovering" them and promoting them in Australia and internationally. They have a cult following and soooooo many hits. No one actually admits they love them - they just do. Like the Bay City Rollers lol
Tenino, Washington 56, old enough to have heard ABBA debut all their songs on the radio. Fave song is the rocker, Does Your Mother Know?, followed by Mamma Mia. ABBA is the band that established the Swedish Pop sound. Pretty incredible success story!
Benny and Bjorn along with Tim Rice wrote the musical "Chess" in 1986. One Night in Bangkok got some radio ariplay, but others are just as good like Mountain Duet, Embassy Lament/Heaven Help My Heart, Anthem. I Know Him So Well, You and I/Epilogue
My wife was 7 or 8 years old and living in Italy (Air Force brat). She watched the performance of Waterloo and distinctly remembers them since they were the only band she heard that sang in English.
Thanks for the memories! I remember the disco's I went to when I was 16 and this song started playing everyone rushed to the dancefloor. Great days thank you! I went through all me teenage years listening to them. We had a lot of fun!
In the 1970s on NBC, Friday night at midnight central time was a show called Midnight Special. Rock stars would perform live on stage, but ABBA would send a music video. Thy were the first music videos I ever saw.
New subscriber so I'm a little late, but (1 - ABBA) - 56 year old retired Paramedic & a drummer since 1977 from NC. Dancing Queen is my all time favorite, especially that bass line (although I love all of their music). Add that 2 for having seen them live.
It’s been said , that when the group was in the studio as Benny and Bjorn was introducing the song to Agnetha and Frida , Frida began to cry when she read the lyrics, and Agnetha knew it would be the #1 worldwide smash that it was as they we’re recording it. ( of course they all knew!)
Actually, Benny came home with the background tape and played it for her, and she cried. Bjorn took a tape home but Agnetha was asleep so he took it to his sister, Eva.
ABBA is one of the greatest band ever. Their music is still better than today's music. Their music is timeless. From generation to another. And last, they are still better today than today's so called "music singers". In every level what you can think. Their music have melody, lyrics, rhytm, arrangement and singers' voices in perfect combination.
Hi Maggi e - to this song, as to almost all of Abba's songs, you dance the classic "disco fox" - something I danced a lot and enjoyed in those days and during my disco days. AND I met my wife through this dance.
Thank you so much for reacting to this. Though this song and style of music isn’t my taste, it does bring back wonderful memories of this time period of my life. ABBA was absolutely huge at this time. They are #8 in all-time record sales, selling 247 million albums. I am the same age of some of the kids on the dance floor in the video from 1977 (12-13-ish). I remember it well. My girlfriend, friends, and I, at the time, loved attending concerts after I got to high school. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife loved concerts as well during that time. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I can not describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, people got along better, and the music was spectacular. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Our 4 adult children (29-33) are big fans of 70’s-80’s music like my wife and I are. It’s great, lol. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
If I remember correctly, this song was their only #1 in the US, which has probably been mentioned by someone. I have several favorites, Chiquitita, Fernando, Waterloo, Mamma Mia, That's Me, Just a Notion, Lovelight I Am the City, Dreamworld, I could go on and on...Cheers, Steve A. EDIT: Their video, called The Last Video, released in 2014 on the 40th anniversary of winning the Eurovision Song Contest, is almost totally done with lyrics or song titles from their back catalogue, and has quite a few cameos.
I was stationed in Germany 78-80. I often encountered 'tweens' out for a dance with their parents watching, the had be gone by 10pm. One of the things the army taught us was Hey dude, when the lights blink at midnight and the girl who was on your lap gets up you just dodged a bullet because she was under 16
ABBA fan, I just turned 69. Part of the disco era, which was better than people make it out to be ; ). Favorite song Gimme Gimme Gimme, because it accurately describes what life was like in the 70s and 80s, pre-AIDS, when being out all night dancing, sex, drugs, etc etc was true hedonism.
I'm actually from North Carolina, and I grew up listening to Abba, because my Mom love listening to them. And I started listening to them as well. I'm actually 57
You missed the part on their #1 Album listings.. 7 #1 between 1974-1982, and the REFORMED to have a new #1 Album after a 40 year gap. ABBA Voyage was recorded and released with hem all in their 70s. AMAZING.
Actually 8 No1 albums from '74-'82.GHV1/ARRIVAL/THE ALBUM/VOULEZ-VOUS/GHV2/SUPER TROUPER/THE VISITORS/THE SINGLES-THE FIRST 10 YEARS(Nov,''82) plus GOLD(n01 in 1992/1998/2008) and finally VOYAGE 2021.!)...10 No1 albums in total.
p.s.also worth mentioning the two Mamma Mia movie soundtracks that got also to no1, last one was in 2018 no1 for 5 weeks but not actually The band's recordings,...phew!
great reaction dear Maggie , as always :) for me is it impossible to pick up only one favorite ABBA-Song..they have far too much superbe Songs as to choosen from..for me is it always coupled with my mood/feelings.. sometimes "The Winner takes it all", sometimes "Super Trooper" , for me "Under Attack" is one of the best and underestimated songs from ABBA...ah not forgetting: "Thank you for the music"...oh Lord..way to much glorious songs to decide ;)
In 2022, ABBA built a theater in London where you can watch an ABBA "concert." The tech trick is that the band members wore movement-recognition body suits and computer images were crafted for each member. So the end result is you are watching a 3D concert projection recording of the band as if they were still in their prime (20-30's). Like a live concert, but not. P.S. Listen to The Winner Takes It All!
They were offered 1billion dollars, ( Yes') a billion dollars to go out and do concerts again. And I don't know what time or the date this washing airing, but' it's right now' from writing this, it's August 5th 2023
To my mind the best group ever. Ever since winning the European song contest way back in the 70's their talent has shone through. World Wide Fame and every song a no1 through decades their talent is phenomenal. The list is long but you should listen to more.
Side note: when they started singing together they, or at least 3 of them, couldn't speak english. So they mastered the songs by memorizing the words and annunciation of them. Then they added their beautiful vocals....
Doubt that was strictly true. English became a compulsory subject in SWE schools post WW2 so they would've had, at minimum, a baseline of familiarity. Frida was working as a jazz singer in the late 60s so she would've been singing a good deal of Eng language material. Whilst there were a couple of songs converted from their original Swedish (ie Fernando), Benny & Bjorn wrote in English which suggests they had attained a good deal of fluency. The one member with the shakiest English is Agnetha
First time hearing winner takes it all was from a local rock band called storm project with lead guitarist Raven Storm who did that song using a craven guitar double neck and made some great guitar solos the unique thing they did it metal style
I recall watching a tribute act for ABBA on British TV, where they had half a dozen “girl groups” recreating their songs. Two dozen girls couldn’t get within an inch of those ladies’ pitch…
My favorite ABBAsong is Winner Takes It All, of course it would be Dancing Queen, but Winner Takes It All is so musically brilliant and lyrically heartbreaking at the same time.
ABBA fan since the mid 70s. Listening from Michigan. Check out “I’ve Been Waiting For You” from ABBA as well as “Just Like That” sax version and tell me these aren’t some great singers. They harmonize beautifully.
People think of Benny and Bjorn as songwriters. They’re so much more than that… They are arrangers, comparable to Burt Bacharach… They have the unusual capacity to hear the music in their head, and find a way to make it a reality…
They opened the piano for the same reasons why every pianist opens the concert grand for concerts. It makes the sound louder and a little bit more 'open'. Another reason is that it is much easier to record or amplify the opened piano with microphones because you can place them just on the acoustically right spot. Every sound engeneer hates closed pianos or grand pianos. (OK, today we have Electric Pianos, but why do all the famous pianists use these old-fashioned normal concert grands???)

I couldn't agree more and I have been asking for years why that line is so special. I even saw a video with Frida back stage (older) singing that line as others performed the song. It has affected me forever. Something about those notes. Thank you.

None of those have anything to do with musical ability, i wouldn't care if they were all had horns and fur... Not if they sounded like this.
Great song, classic from Abba!
I was always a metal head but also an ABBA fan.

I'm from 1970 as well! I had such a crush on Agneta...
The little kid is Linda, Agnethas and Björns daughter..
I was wondering if that was Linda.
No it's not as Linda would only have been 3 years old when Dancing Queen was released.
Frida was trained in opera. Listen to her background vocals in 'The Day Before You Came'. 😃😍
and last but not least she was a fantastic experienced live - jazz singer. pre-Abba era.
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes, a reaction to her performance of 'En Ledig Dag' would be cool. 😀 But for now I wonder where her other three announced ABBA reactions are? 🤔
@@Lisa-M Yes i also searched on her profile but no Abba videos where found apart from this one.Maybe would be posted in time...?
@@alexioverdo5225 Or they are only on her Patreon channel... 🤔
@@Lisa-M Oh!? ok.thanks for letting me know Lisa.
More reaction from ABBA please, my favorite group evaaa!!!
Thanks Mike!😀

ABBA is the band that established the Swedish Pop sound. Pretty incredible success story!
Both girls are worth to listen to the songs, where they sing lead, both have incredible voices
Greatest Pop song ever written 💯🔥 and this is coming from a metalhead 🤘 Love it
Pete Townshend calls "SOS" by ABBA the greatest pop song ever written.
Benny and Bjorn along with Tim Rice wrote the musical "Chess" in 1986. One Night in Bangkok got some radio ariplay, but others are just as good like Mountain Duet, Embassy Lament/Heaven Help My Heart, Anthem. I Know Him So Well, You and I/Epilogue
I’m a rocker at heart, but even I have a lot of respect for what ABBA has done in the music industry , love it , 1
My wife was 7 or 8 years old and living in Italy (Air Force brat). She watched the performance of Waterloo and distinctly remembers them since they were the only band she heard that sang in English.
It's a normal acoustic piano, but it's partially taken apart just to make it louder in a band situation.
One. Huge Abba fan I watched the movies one hundred times each
Thanks for the memories! I remember the disco's I went to when I was 16 and this song started playing everyone rushed to the dancefloor. Great days thank you! I went through all me teenage years listening to them. We had a lot of fun!
If you ever went to a ABBA concert you would have to notice everyone had a smile on their faces and their body was moning even if they did not want to
I wasn't a big ABBA fan but when I heard Dancing Queen for the first time I thought, that's a hit, that's a big hit.
In the 1970s on NBC, Friday night at midnight central time was a show called Midnight Special. Rock stars would perform live on stage, but ABBA would send a music video. Thy were the first music videos I ever saw.
I'm older than DIRT LOL Enjoyed ABBA a very long time. DQ is my favorite & Mamma Mia!
ABBA is wonderful. Great job guy.👏👏👏
Maggie, Love your facial expressions! Love the song, I have always loved ABBA!

Saw them live here in Toronto. Was around 1980 and I gave the photo to prove it. Pretty close to the stage and quite revealing
ᗅᗺᗷᗅ Dancing Queen

He did all of their videos in the 70s and 80s except for the last two
He also made ᗅᗺᗷᗅ The Movie

One of the greatest disco song ever recorded. Beautiful harmonies,up beat dancing tune!! An iconic song.
Per Google this video was filmed in 1976 so the youngest girl on the dance floor is in her fifties.
Hi Maggi e - to this song, as to almost all of Abba's songs, you dance the classic "disco fox" - something I danced a lot and enjoyed in those days and during my disco days.
AND I met my wife through this dance.
just now getting to see this for the first time. ABBA is one of my fav's. I'm a product of the 70s, so always quite partial to 70s and early 80s.
She talks, and talks, and talks for 10 minutes before she starts the song so you may want to skip through to 13:15.
I got to sing this onstage before covid and my community theatre produced the musical Mama Mia in 2018
Frida is natural fire, when I get old much love come in, what a girl!

thank you so much Maggie for bringing the 70's. The Golden Age of Music.
It was the 70's, dear Maggie, that's how people danced. Greetings. 😘😉👍✌🤟
You gotta watch “Muriel’s wedding” main character is obsessed by Abba and it’s always in the background.. funny and sad movie
I saw them live plus even saw them live at the Eurovision when they won
Saw ABBA live once, really back in the day ... And went to the ABBA Voyage this June. Awesome experience. Still love them so much.
If I remember correctly, this song was their only #1 in the US, which has probably been mentioned by someone. I have several favorites, Chiquitita, Fernando, Waterloo, Mamma Mia, That's Me, Just a Notion, Lovelight I Am the City, Dreamworld, I could go on and on...Cheers, Steve A.

I am from a town called Eastbourne on the southeast coast of England. I am 71 years old. I have always liked this song. Love your reaction too.
ABBA fan, I just turned 69. Part of the disco era, which was better than people make it out to be ; ). Favorite song Gimme Gimme Gimme, because it accurately describes what life was like in the 70s and 80s, pre-AIDS, when being out all night dancing, sex, drugs, etc etc was true hedonism.
I'm actually from North Carolina, and I grew up listening to Abba, because my Mom love listening to them. And I started listening to them as well. I'm actually 57

They won the one and only Eurovision Song Contest that I watched. I only started enjoying their music in my 40s. They're pretty ace musicians!

Hi Maggie! Love ABBA
From India
In 2022, ABBA built a theater in London where you can watch an ABBA "concert." The tech trick is that the band members wore movement-recognition body suits and computer images were crafted for each member. So the end result is you are watching a 3D concert projection recording of the band as if they were still in their prime (20-30's). Like a live concert, but not. P.S. Listen to The Winner Takes It All!
Ron from northern Ontario Canada I NEVER HEAR ENOUGH ABBA
They were offered 1billion dollars, ( Yes') a billion dollars to go out and do concerts again. And I don't know what time or the date this washing airing, but' it's right now' from writing this, it's August 5th 2023
ABBA and Nightwish. Must be the long dark winters. Huge fan of both!
ABBA Fan. 73 years old. ABBA was 4 most known words behind the Bible, Coke a Cola, and VW. ABBA was the largest income in Sweden for some time.
You probably have eaten ABBA conserved fish products.
To my mind the best group ever. Ever since winning the European song contest way back in the 70's their talent has shone through. World Wide Fame and every song a no1 through decades their talent is phenomenal. The list is long but you should listen to more.
The blonde girl, red top dancing at the front of the stage, sung in an abba tribute band.
Side note: when they started singing together they, or at least 3 of them, couldn't speak english. So they mastered the songs by memorizing the words and annunciation of them. Then they added their beautiful vocals....
Doubt that was strictly true. English became a compulsory subject in SWE schools post WW2 so they would've had, at minimum, a baseline of familiarity.

Whilst there were a couple of songs converted from their original Swedish (ie Fernando), Benny & Bjorn wrote in English which suggests they had attained a good deal of fluency. The one member with the shakiest English is Agnetha
In London they have built a special arena were you can see avatares perform Abbas music.
Bizarre, but in Sweden Agnetha is pronounced Ang-nay-tah. Don't ask why,
First time hearing winner takes it all was from a local rock band called storm project with lead guitarist Raven Storm who did that song using a craven guitar double neck and made some great guitar solos the unique thing they did it metal style
I am an ABBA fan! I am 52! I am from Hawaii!🙋🌴🤙🏄 My favorite ABBA song is Ring Ring!!!👍🤗
Truly old school!
Hello beautiful lady 😍 LoL I've seen this video a hundred times and never noticed the kid dancing! I'll never not see her again.
82 ABBA a few months late I ran into this reaction. Thanks Maggie...
ABBA is top 5 all-time in album sales worldwide.
Second after Beatles?
@@annicaesplund6613 I believe so.
Did you all hear Agnethas super high A just before the last "You can dance, you can jive...."? Listen for it, it's superb!
Of course' it's Dancing Queen, do love SOS.
I am Abba fan, first fall in love in 1979 with blondie!
I recall watching a tribute act for ABBA on British TV, where they had half a dozen “girl groups” recreating their songs.
Two dozen girls couldn’t get within an inch of those ladies’ pitch…

I am ABBA fan for a whole life.
I used to have such fun singing Dancing Queen with my bass voice in Karaoke!

My favorite ABBAsong is Winner Takes It All, of course it would be Dancing Queen, but Winner Takes It All is so musically brilliant and lyrically heartbreaking at the same time.
My favorites are: 1. Knowing Me, Knowing You 2. Angeleyes 3. The Winner Takes It All
ABBA fan since the mid 70s. Listening from Michigan. Check out “I’ve Been Waiting For You” from ABBA as well as “Just Like That” sax version and tell me these aren’t some great singers. They harmonize beautifully.
17:20-17:40 ,fun question ! You have to ask Benny about that :-) of all 100 s of reacting to this song,you re the first to react to that.
I don't know why, but all that hair flicking about toward the end of the video to Dancing Queen always reminds me of a Timotei advertisement. 😁
Wasn't here for the chat and the debut of this post. LOVE YOU, Maggie.1 Gatlinburg, Tennessee 57 years old
Winner takes it all my most favorite
People think of Benny and Bjorn as songwriters.
They’re so much more than that…
They are arrangers, comparable to Burt Bacharach…
They have the unusual capacity to hear the music in their head, and find a way to make it a reality…

I can't believe that you didn't react to the version performed live at the Royal Swedish Opera House, you being an opera singer and all. :)
They opened the piano for the same reasons why every pianist opens the concert grand for concerts. It makes the sound louder and a little bit more 'open'. Another reason is that it is
much easier to record or amplify the opened piano with microphones because you can place them just on the acoustically right spot.
Every sound engeneer hates closed pianos or grand pianos. (OK, today we have Electric Pianos, but why do all the famous pianists use these old-fashioned normal concert grands???)
LoL remember it's just a number
