It's a very good 'video montage' 👍 Hey... Hola, amigo David! Nice to see you as usual in 'ABBA's Sunday'😊 I think maybe you could review some (or all) of Abba's songs in Spanish... think about it...🤔 take care and see you very soon amigo. Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
Hello David ! Thank you for your Abba Sundays! This song is probably not one of Abbas' best songs, but it's still fun to see and hear the group. Abba has made so many hits, so we have a lot to look forward to! May you continue to have a good day! 😍
@@Zinatra all opinions are differents ... for me, "As good as new" is a great song, in my Top3 of "Voulez Vous" album and in my Top 25 of all ABBA songs
If you are still having trouble uploading the current comparison video that you are working on, i highly recommend that you react to this comparison video that i am about to request instead. Here goes: Could you please do a comparison video of who sang it best between Cyrus Villanueva singing his cover version of Jealous on the X factor Australia in 2015 versus Aliyah Moulden also singing her cover version of Jealous at the top 10 stage of NBC’s the Voice in 2017 versus Jex de Castro also sing his cover version of Jealous on TNT All Star Grand Resbak Round 2, 3 years ago versus Rhap Salazar also singing his cover version of Jealous on the Tawag ng Tanghalan Celebrity Champions Show 4 years ago versus the defending champion Etham Beckton again singing his cover version of Jealous using the same performance at his audition on the Voice Australia this year 2023? I wonder how Etham Beckton will do against this tough line up?

This song is so underrated, so great and upbeat.
"As good as new" (1979)
is the opening track of the album "Voulez Vous"
and it is one of my favorites from the album (8/9pts)
it has a surprising opening
with strings reminiscent of classical music,
to move to a constant danceable rhythm,
Agnetha's voice fine and powerful
and that "Ma ma ma ma ma ma..." outstanding
(i believe is unique in ABBA songs)
and then a beautiful pre-choir and pure choir together with Frida
ABBA's trademark with their magical 'Third Voice'
and an ending as abrupt as it is great
a little more than three minutes of concrete music
prettier to listen than to dance
and that is what I value the most
(it seems that Agnetha's voice suits the disco rhythm very well
in fact at the current 'Voyage Concerts' in London
of the four songs in the 'disco section'
two are with Agnetha on lead vocals
even if they are not from this album)
"As good as new"
paradoxically it is one of the most underrated songs on the album "Voulez Vous"
It was only performed live on the 1979 tour of North America and Europe,
which ended in Japan in 1980.
It does not have an official video,
although a fan made one with images showing ABBA during the trip in the United States
and it was released as a single in very few countries,
but coincidentally one of them was Argentina
Thanks again for your fantastic reaction
I wish you a great weekend
see in the next ABBA Sunday
my best regards from
Buenos Aires, Argentina
South America
P.S: as my friend @alejandro said,
I think that you could included ABBA singing in spanish
with "Chiquitita" in first place
there are two TV perfomances of ABBA in Spain 1979
ABBA recorded 15 songs in spanish
more than in others languages (exception english obviously)
It's a very good 'video montage' 👍

A top song!
1979 was a sad time in both Agnetha and Bjorns life as their marriage was coming to an end.
