ABBA ... My mom played this album a million times. My sisters and I knew every word. I STILL DO. It brought tears to my eyes. My sister was killed in a car crash. She 17, I was 16. Every song makes me think of our memories. MUSIC IS SO POWERFUL. It hurts and is beautiful at the same time.
Sweetie, I love your channel, it is my favourite reaction channel, I have found you to be the most genuine and true to who you are. It was thanks to you that I discovered Dimash and fell in love with his music. Never apologise for having an additction to music, it feeds the soul. Ignore the haters, they are just bitter and jealous. You have to listen to Thank you for the Music though.x
I started to really listen to Abba about 2 weeks ago. I knew parts of some songs before, because I think every person at least in Europe does :D But I never really listened to them on purpose. Well, since I did that, I'm not really listening to anything else anymore. They were and still are brilliant!! I mainly listen to metal normally but like I said, Abba is just amazing and I'm very happy I felt like listening to them for some reason.
You're the first person I've found that understands how I feel about ABBA. I love your reactions to them. One of my regrets is never getting a chance to see them perform live.
@@abbagodz I suppose that a pair of husbands and wives wasn't very cool. Americans care to much about something looking cool over everything else. At the end of the day, American pop music took a lot from them without giving them the credit. Madonna is an example of it.
I reckon that's the first time the girls' voices have been described as going together like peanut butter & jelly! But it's nice to see Abba being appreciated by a new generation. It just proves what I've always believed: that true quality is timeless.
You should listen "ABBA - Happy New Year" right after decade has changed. 1st January 2020. That's what I'm going to do. Also did you know that ABBA returned to studio for the first time in 34 years during 2018. They may release brand new music sometime in 2020.
Are people seriously telling you how to run your channel?? LOL have they ever heard of a SERIES?? this is your ABBA series, they need to take a few seats and start their own channel. I hope you come back to reacting to them, i'm not telling you how or when lol but hopefully soon ;)
I love watching your reactions to this group 😁 As an 8 yr old Aussie kid in 1976, ABBA's Arrival album was the first record I ever owned. It was ABBA-mania in Australia around that time, we lived for this group! I've seen ABBA credit our obsessive Aussie love for them as pivotal to their world wide success. Those two women were like Goddesses 💕
There's no rush. Take your time. ABBA are unique and you won't find another band to compare them to. They were geniuses and their music will live forever. There are still so many good songs of theirs to react to. Forget the idiots who spread their negativity. This is your channel and you get to decide who you want to listen and react to. With almost 40,000 subscribers you must be doing something right. Just keep on doing what you do and your channel will continue to grow and all the jealousy and negativity from the legions of trolls that infest the Internet can be deservedly ignored and consigned to the bin where it belongs.
Done in 1981.Before they disband later...My Fave Group ever...Pitch Perfect Ever...Agnetha and Frida...#WelcomeBackABBA #ILoveABBA #ABBAForevermoreEternity
Thanks to you l have just taken a trip down Memory Lane listening to three cracking ABBA songs. I am 64 now but in my early twenties when these songs were in the charts. My friends and I always leaned towards heavy rock but accepted ABBA as a way of life I suppose. So it has been a revelation for me, thanks to you and really paid more attention to three of the best songs of all time. Like you, I have a very strong passion. for songs which I revere and become an important part of my life...Incidentally I am referring to Take A Chance, Knowing Me and Souper Trouper.
When i was a kid n the late 70's and early 80's, i looked forward to getting an ABBA album each Christmas!! They're still one of my fave all time bands!! I was heart broken when they disbanded. Thank you for sharing your AMAZING reaction and i hope you stay an ABBA fan forever!!!
This song was their last UK No.1 hit - November 1980. They wrote the best ever harmonies......no one else comes close, and they (Benny and Bjorn) absolutely deserve to be up there alongside John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They 'owned' the 70's just as The Beatles 'owned' the 60's.
The camera approaching Frida's face, slowly and calmly, with no heart-attack editions...wow...And the way their voices match is a unique experience in the whole pop music. In every ABBA's song it is perfect. But, I guess that #1 match is the incredibly underrated and almost forgotten 1976 song THE TIGGER. Never, I mean, NEVER, heard 2 female voices matching and sounding so incredibly as in THE TIGGER
I love all your music videos but Abba I my ultimate favorite and watching your face as you just live in that video at the time &your love of good music you make me feel so happy ⭐⭐⭐⭐💯
ABBA was the first group to make music videos like it's standard these days, back then people in the business said, it's crazy you should do more concerts.
Abba are one of the best groups ever. So catchy and nice lyrics and later on they also had a bit more sad songs. I hope someday you gonna react to alot Depeche Mode aswell. They are like Abba but in a more darker way. Catchy, danceable, teenage lust / angst. Great band!
Take the time to explore every artist that grabbed your attention, we love your reactions! All those songs are so "normal" to us, and your reactions make them special again. Let me assure you that you have only listened to the tip of the musical iceberg :)
It's a lot of fun to listen to songs with you. You have a big heart and wonderfully empathetic nature. Music is a natural part of your being. Keep them coming.
There is no question in my humble opinion that ABBA is the greatest group ever ! If you don't mind going without lyrics and want to hear the girls use their voices as instruments ,try Arrival ! Shiver inducing ,trust me my friend :)
I remember someone offered a billion dollars to have ABBA get back together and they turned it down and made a statement that it was a grossly shameful offer and that kind of money should be spent on something more important. Good on them.
I have been in RUclips for years and I am so glad I found your channel. If this music makes you smile, groove, and love life then it's all good. I am glad you are ignoring negative people. If this person doesn't like it, they can stop watching and go somewhere else. Simple. Keep on keepin' on. I love your reactions and thoughts.
If you ever go to Stockholm, visit the ABBA museum. They have a piano that is connected to the one in Benny Anderson's house so whenever he plays something at home the piano in the museum also plays it.
One of my favorite bridges on any song. So simply arranged but emotional at the same time with how she sings it. and how it leads back into the chorus with only the sequencer.
Im in love with the depth of your heart. I get goosebumps off your goosebumps. That kind of Joy cannot be misinterpreted. Thank for reminding me of the wealth of musical background I grew up with and how very talented they all were and are.
Mate I watched every ABBA song you reacted to. Do you realize you grew a beard during those reactions. You are a good man with a pure heart. Keep smiling. Cheers from Australia
I love how music moves you. It's beautiful. And yes, take your time and explore deep when you find something you love. ABBA was one of the biggest pop groups of the 70's for a reason. So great that you appreciate them so much. Music that I love moves me the same way.
Man, I love your ABBA reaction videos! But you still have a long way to go! So many more beautiful songs to listen to!!!! Keep going! Eagle, The Day Before You Came, Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie, Lay All Your Love On Me, Voulez-vous, The Name of the Game and so on...
Super Trouper reminds me of Christmas. The harmonies in the chorus are on a par with the Beach Boys. Unbelievable. Never worry about people who don't like you, bro. They are having just as much trouble liking themselves. That's why there are so many makeover shows on TV. People who hate so much need to listen to more ABBA.
With a heart as open as yours there is no limit to the genre and variety of music that is waiting to touch you. From the Beatles to ABBA to Linda Ronstadt to REM to classical, rock, pop etc, your mind and soul will be made love to by the composers and artists who have given their all. You take as much time as you want. No one has the right to tell you how long you should take or what artists you should listen to. We might make suggestions of groups or songs but we cannot tell you what to do. Keep being you. You are one hell of a man. I feel as if your heart is full of love.
A quote from the movie Muriel's Wedding: "Since I left Porpoise Spit and moved to Sydney, I haven't listened to one ABBA song. That's because now my life is as good as an ABBA song. It's as good as Dancing Queen."
Yeah, I love it too, Samantha and Forest. I saw one online movie review call Muriel’s wedding a “feminist masterpiece” where Muriel, whom we love for being goofy, real and kind, breaks free from her “crutch of ABBA therapy”. 🥰🧡💛💚 I think I’m still enjoying a bit of ABBA therapy! Must be helping James with “loving life” too - have a wonderful day y’all.
It's great to hear the opinions of the younger generation.. When Abba was in their hey day there was no one like them the girls were glamorous and that sound.. We all waited for the next song and film clip.. Great you can see what we did 40 years later
Happy you love ABBA. I love them so much. They came out when I was in my teens and twenties. So great. Forget that person dissing you. She doesn't know great music.
I think that some people get confused and think that the singers are Super Troopers - Super Trooper is the name of the spot lights that are used to light the stage.
You're a sensitive, open-minded guy - the world needs you, keep at it.
I`d like to second that
I tend to believe that people who loves these music are sensitive, caring and affectionate.
Richard Towell
I will third it.
Peter's Village
Great comment Peter.
@@bpfromowc It just seemed to need saying.

Can never have too much ABBA!!!
Or too much Agnetha
Agnetha is a sopran, Frida is a mezzo. You're right James, they complement each other in a wonderful way.
Punchy Angnetha and soft Frida (M.Tretown about their voices).
They could also cover for each other live if one had a cold or sore throat or something.
The Gods of pop, joyful beautiful music..
I enjoy watching the emotion and joy on your face when you listen to ABBA - it's the same reaction I have. Thank you!!!!!!
Sweetie, I love your channel, it is my favourite reaction channel, I have found you to be the most genuine and true to who you are.

ABBA is definitely addictive, you are awesome 😎 and take all the time you need .
Abba figured out the secret formula for making incredible songs
I started to really listen to Abba about 2 weeks ago. I knew parts of some songs before, because I think every person at least in Europe does :D But I never really listened to them on purpose. Well, since I did that, I'm not really listening to anything else anymore. They were and still are brilliant!! I mainly listen to metal normally but like I said, Abba is just amazing and I'm very happy I felt like listening to them for some reason.
Please do Gimme Gimme Gimme by Abba.
Notice how they didn't need sexy costumes or fancy choreographies back then, the focus was on the music quality.
Why is watching a young black dude fall in love with ABBA so great? 🥰
If everyone just listened to ABBA there would be no need for Prozac!
Yeah, their music uplift and heal your down feelings 👍
That peanut butter & jelly comment is ABBAsolutely the best thing I've heard in a long time!! Thank you very much for posting all your ABBA videos!
Remember, they composed these songs in their second language!!
You're the first person I've found that understands how I feel about ABBA. I love your reactions to them. One of my regrets is never getting a chance to see them perform live.
Keep up the ABBA posts, I'm loving it!
I was so proud my city of Glasgow was mentioned in an ABBA song :-)
They even mention Dallas in one of their songs. I think that was in reaction to the rumor that Agnetha was being added to the cast of Dallas.
Oh yes I remember my pals and I being so excited at that mention of Glasgow lol
Me too.
@@michaelbain399 I would watch any show with Agnetha in it.
@@aaronbarlow4376 Me too!
I always come back to this reaction when I need a smile.
Me too
You, mate are the hands down the best reactionist on the planet at the moment, keep it up son.
That's a big ole smile you had on you at the end. That's what ABBA does to you - it's just so full of joy!
Super Trooper is a name they give to a large spotlight. PS, You can always come back to Abba, they have a lot of songs.
Take all the time you want with the groups you love! One only really gets something if one spende the time needed to dig deeper and really know them.
”there is no rush”. Well Said. ABBA is fantastic!
Abba was huge everywhere, like England, Australia, Latin America. They're legendary. USA was the only one that kind of hated them.
Oh yes...it was VERY hard to be an ABBA fan in the U.S. back in the 70's/80's!!!
@@abbagodz I suppose that a pair of husbands and wives wasn't very cool. Americans care to much about something looking cool over everything else. At the end of the day, American pop music took a lot from them without giving them the credit. Madonna is an example of it.
@@Caprizonica I could not agree more!!!
I don't know why, some of the best Metal comes from the same place.
YES!.... oh and if you are taking a break from ABBA their song 'thank you for the music' might be a nice way to leave it and take a step back.
I still would like James to react to Happy New Year on Januari 1st :)
Yes a good song to finish with,thank you for the music!
Abba were absolute superstars. Just no other word for it :D
I reckon that's the first time the girls' voices have been described as going together like peanut butter & jelly! But it's nice to see Abba being appreciated by a new generation. It just proves what I've always believed: that true quality is timeless.
Carry on being obsessed by ABBA. React to more. I love your reaction videos, it’s like rediscovering them all over again. Happy times.
You should listen "ABBA - Happy New Year" right after decade has changed. 1st January 2020. That's what I'm going to do.
Also did you know that ABBA returned to studio for the first time in 34 years during 2018. They may release brand new music sometime in 2020.
K0rpi sorry got to disagree,1st song after the bells has got to be Runrig - Loch Lomond then Abba ,that's a night to remember lol
New music now?? That would be amazing. Here's hoping.
Love what you love, be who you are, that's enough, that's why we love you!
Are people seriously telling you how to run your channel?? LOL have they ever heard of a SERIES?? this is your ABBA series, they need to take a few seats and start their own channel. I hope you come back to reacting to them, i'm not telling you how or when lol but hopefully soon ;)
I’m in love with that Group !!! I’ll be back soon
You see in them the mother you love. You are seeing their beauty and innocence, and they are the woman you need. The Good Girl. They bring you Home
I love watching your reactions to this group 😁
As an 8 yr old Aussie kid in 1976, ABBA's Arrival album was the first record I ever owned. It was ABBA-mania in Australia around that time, we lived for this group! I've seen ABBA credit our obsessive Aussie love for them as pivotal to their world wide success. Those two women were like Goddesses 💕

ABBA reactions is enough to do...,their music ranges over almost all genres..and they do it better then anyone else...
Love, love, love your ABBA reactions. They wrote and performed some of the greatest pop songs ever recorded during the 20th century.
It’s so exciting to see someone who really appreciates the music I was brought up on. ABBA was exceptional.
ABBA is stil great after all these years. Still unmatched as of today. Once in a lifetime genius band.
When i was a kid n the late 70's and early 80's, i looked forward to getting an ABBA album each Christmas!! They're still one of my fave all time bands!! I was heart broken when they disbanded. Thank you for sharing your AMAZING reaction and i hope you stay an ABBA fan forever!!!
ABBA did a song for New Years called Happy New Year so you could do that one when the time comes.
This song was their last UK No.1 hit - November 1980. They wrote the best ever harmonies......no one else comes close, and they (Benny and Bjorn) absolutely deserve to be up there alongside John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They 'owned' the 70's just as The Beatles 'owned' the 60's.

This is my favourite ABBA song. I’m nearly 50 & I’ve been listening to ABBA since I can remember my mother played these . Timeless. Tunes.
One of the most successful and talented group of all time. Simply Abba. :-)
ABBA is awesome! I grew up on them and there will never be artist like this! You need to listen to what you want man! Awesome guy!

You should listen to S.O.S. it's one of their top 5 songs imo
Absolutely!
S.O.S. is a must!
There wouldn't be ABBA as we know them without the guys.

@@neocarrick2870 same here, that's why I call it their best song...
I do agree. Their best. Just close your eyes and listen and enjoy. I'll get both tears and chills.
Very happy that you reacted to this song, one of my favorites. The intro is sooo mesmerizing!
JB Lethal THE King of Abba reactions 2019!!!! Had So much fun seeing them. Pls NEVER leave Abba !!! Keep up your good work!
It's great to hear the opinions of the younger generation.. When Abba was in their hey day there was no one like them the girls were glamorous and that sound.. We all waited for the next song and film clip.. Great you can see what we did 40 years later
Don't let a few commenters rush you to move on to other artists if you are not ready. Quantity does not necessarily mean quality.
Who does not love a bit of abba ... many a night out dancing to these guys .. love it ❤
You're lovable and popular and your fans love watching you loving music like we do. The world needs more people like you in it.
Happy you love ABBA. I love them so much. They came out when I was in my teens and twenties. So great.
Forget that person dissing you. She doesn't know great music.
I think that some people get confused and think that the singers are Super Troopers - Super Trooper is the name of the spot lights that are used to light the stage.
I grow up hearing this Band,and I still ask How they did so amazing songs??
Great job again JB.
You can't listen to just one ABBA song. Once you start .....
So true!!!
Thank you for doing this one. My dad loved ABBA and this was one of his favorites. 😍
I was stunned, when hearing this at the first time from the radio on December 1980, but even I didn't got this emotional. :)
You need to listen to The Piper,which is the B side to Super Trouper,it's a fantastic track
You should do ABBA:Thank you for the music. It would be great.
