    Love those strings too.Btw all sounds and instruments can be heard in such a crispy way.Their genius engineer Michael B Tretow was a real scient of sound conception.Great reaction.

    Their costumes were made by a high school teacher, Owe Sandström. He taught farming and about farm animals, a very talented, kind and appreciated person and teacher. He's born 1944 but I know he was still teaching at Spånga gymnasium until just a few years ago, I would'nt be surprised if he still does from time to time❤️🇸🇪

    Frida with melted chocolate vocals and Agnetha with the precision iced high notes all wrapped in a multi-layered delicate flake pastry, the perfect dessert.
    It made a pretty good pop song and delicious video too!😄
    Totally agree with the stage performances as well, they didn't need gimmicks to distract from two naturally beautiful charismatic women and the great music.

    hello again, good start to the weekend for You,
    and thanks for take this new reaction to ABBA
    These is a video from TV special ABBA in Japan
    "If it wasn't for the nights" (1978)
    is a cute disco-style ABBA song that combines the contrast of dense lyrics with a catchy melody and impeccable singing by the duo Agnetha & Frida
    is another track with disco sound influenced by Bee Gees and the movie Saturday Night Fever
    "If it wasn't for the nights"
    also has a story
    ABBA had been invited to participate in the UNICEF Benefit Concert and was going to go with this song, which was to be the new single (at these time Björn & Agnetha was in the middle of your separation)
    But weeks before ABBA composed a new song,
    a Masterpiece, that changed it's history: "Chiquitita"
    "Chiquitita" was chosen by ABBA to perform in that World Concert, they premiered there and it was their new single, and its worldwide success was colossal (especially in Latin America)
    and "If it wasn't for the nights" finally wasn't a single,
    only was a traçk in the "Voulez Vous" album
    To clóse the story of "If it wasn't for the nights"
    now you could react "Chiquitita" at the UNICEF Concert
    May your day continue well
    Kind regards from
    Buenos Aires Argentina
    South America

    ''I actually prefer this to a very choreographed dance' it does look 'non-fake' indeed.
    Yes!I love that too.Some may say it's unsynchronized or kinda awkard but to me It's spontaneous and quite charming.

    hey great song and great reaction. this indeed was from their tv special in Japan where they did several songs on that stage. Frida has some moves! she was known for dancing all night in her favorite Swedish discotech. Benny hated dancing so she would have to dance with others and would wear them all out whiie she'd still be going strong till Benny dragged her home lol. Benny and Bjorn were way ahead of their time with all the layering of music. so good. they also layered the girls voices doing take after take till the girls complained they would have no voices left have you done Summer Night City? Another great dance song that is a tribute to their beloved Stockholm, they are shown all over the city including a discotech. take care

    They are all so sponteanous singing,dancing and playing the instruments, they don't pretend they are enjoying, they are REALLY enjoying. That's for me the main factor that made them great!

    I wouldn't care if they could sing a note.I just wanna look at the sight of these two beautiful girls.But i'm double lucky since they sing with divine blended voices and can sent a lwhole flock of some of today's autotuned music female 'singers" to hide in shame and never to come back again.

    This was from a Japanese TV Show. I love the fact that they just did their own thing regarding dancing, never copied anyone else, no organised choreography, just pure spontaneity. Another hugely successful group who did that was Boney M, they didn't care either, just did their own thing and it worked.

  • @kristianmapage9742
    @kristianmapage9742 10 месяцев назад +10

    Thx ! But girls' voices are like instruments for overall musicality, to exclude voices, would be to reduce musicality. They have voices that fit together as we know, but they are very, very good performers outside of their voice. And Agnetha's clear and powerful voice when needed is out of the ordinary.

    All four were very good in what they do, professionals 100%, but my heart beats more for Agnetha. I started seeing them in Eurovision, and still now in 2024, goosebumps come to my skin every time I see or hear them. Excellent band!!! Went to London only to see Voyage, and wow.

    "is there a bad ABBA song?" Yes. For instance "Rock Me" is one of the worst songs and performances ever to assault the listening public. (And that's coming from an ABBA fan).

      @@coachmichael1015 It really is horrible. Bjorn puts on this ridiculous, grating "rock guy" voice and the tune is just a stumbling, loping doesn't know what it wants to be jumble. I know you can find ABBA fans who like any song, but yeesh. On the other hand you might want to check out an ABBA song that some think is a slight ABBA song, but others like me think is one of the better deep cuts: My Mamma Said.
      It's their early attempt at some slinky R&B. I think they saw it as an unsuccessful attempt at a genre that wasn't natural to them at the time. But I think that's much of it's success. It's R&B put through the ABBA-Swedish filter so it comes out with this really icy, laid back, mysterious vibe. With a terrific little jazzy, funky guitar solo by Janne Schaffer. The song manages to sound amazingly contemporary even now.
