My sister (60 now) was a rock nut. I liked my pop, electronic and of course disco at the time. We both sneered at each other's music taste. Years ago when the Mamma Mia movie came out she got in touch to say "WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT! ARE YOU COMING?!" She admitted then she secretly loved them! 😅 Of course thanks to her I'm still in love with ELO and Meatloaf etc! 🤗

ABBA and Heart were my husband's favorite groups.

I love Frida's voice. So rich and velvety.

Best group musically. The groove and beat is unreal. The Beatles wudn't stand a chance against them. Magic.

So glad Abba now get the respect they deserve.. Great pop songs, later songs full of maturity in the song writing.. One of the best groups of all time..

The track has quite a sinister undertone and gives a nod to Cabaret, Minelli and Fose.

I think it is safe to say they are THE Greatest Pop Group of All time. Their music resonates and is as relevant today as it has always been, across generations. The 2 Mamma Mia films have been huge worldwide box office hits, with a 3rd movie being discussed Mamma Mia The Musical celebrated its 25th anniversary this year and is playing all around the world. Mamma Mia The Party is playing to good audiences for 5 years The Abba Voyage concert has been a phenomenon success for over 2 years. Abba Gold is still I'm the UK top 20 this week Abba Gold is the 2nd best selling album in the UK ever Abba Gold has spent the most weeks in the UK charts than any other album. 1154 as of 14th June 2024.

Great song and reaction. Love me some ABBA . Fridas vocals are stellar here. She did some great acting too. She did modeling and commercials and was in Some Swedish films so she knows how to play to the camera. Very natural too.

Yay! More ABBA please. I don't think they have a bad song. Fernando shows a different side to the groip. Great reaction❤

How can one not be an ABBA fan?

Wikipedia: Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad (born 15 November 1945 in Bjørkåsen in Ballangen, Norway). ABBA went on to become the biggest-selling group in the world, second only to Volvo as Sweden's biggest export earner, topping the charts for a decade with hits like Dancing Queen (performed to celebrate the marriage of Swedish King Carl Gustaf to German commoner Silvia Sommerlath in 1976), Mamma Mia and Money Money Money.

All of what you said about the quality is probably why, since 1992, when ABBA : Gold was released its been in the UK Charts for over 22 solid years, currently the longest running entrant on the UK Album charts at 1152 weeks, and last week, its back in the Top 10!!

Money Money Money is one of Abba's masterpiece songs. I only ever reserve that title for very few songs unlike today where people claim every second song by an artist is a masterpiece. It should be awarded sparingly. Money is one of those songs where every element comes together perfectly. Music, lyric, vocal and production. A fitting masterpiece song in the pop genre.

Would have perfectly match the original lyrics ('Gypsy Girl').

We would all appreciate a bit of an ABBA blitz here.

Hey Salvador: very enjoyable reaction video and I appreciated the enthusiasm and excitement because that’s really the whole point of what Benny and Bjorn set out to do when they composed, recorded and then labored in the studio (which they actually loved) on the production aspects with the ultimate goal being perfectly crafted and technically flawless musical gems. My favorite of your ABBA reactions to date has to be “The Name Of The Game” which is one of my favorite ABBA songs and you responded to it perfectly. This reaction is pretty damn close though and it was a joy seeing your expressions as you heard and watched. I agree with you when you said you don’t react to enough ABBA songs. With that in mind, as I mentioned that “The Name Of The Game” is one of my favorite ABBA songs (actually it’s my #1 favorite), here are two suggestions for your next ABBA reactions, which also happen to be my #2 and #3 favorite ABBA songs “The Visitors (Crackin’ Up)” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. And here is a bonus suggestion “Lay All Your Love On Me”. Peace brother!

I was in a social club with some friends on the night in 1974 when ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo". One of my friends said "they'll be number one next week, then nobody will hear of them again." She was right about the number one. She was so wrong about the second bit.

The Fernando/Arrival is the the era put ABBA into orbit: 1. Fernando 2. Dancing Queen 3. Money Money Money 4. Knowing Me, Knowing You Fernando was ABBA's most successful #1 on a major chart. #1 for 14 consecutive weeks on Australia charts. It was a non album single. Eventually incorporated in Arrival promo era. ABBA's Fernando is technically a cover. ABBA covering Frida's original Fernando in Swedish. A big #1 radio hit. Stig Anderson wrote the Swedish lyric. Bjorn wrote the ABBA english lyric. Arrival album was ABBA's biggest seller of all their albums.

Hello , so nice to see you again reaction to ABBA songs "Money money money" (1976) it is a very good song in a different musical style, cabaret type, set in another era "Money money money" is the single that followed "Dancing Queen" and reached # 3 in the UK, #1 in Australia and several European countries. It is a different song from its predecessor "Dancing Queen" and also from its successor "Knowing me knowing you" This is the versatility of ABBA, they go from genre to genre, as well as from success to success The song lends itself well to the brunette Frida's lower voice the choruses are sharper in contrast (and very catchy) specialy with the voice of Agnetha in high notes The instrumentation is excellent The official video is one of ABBA's best, very creative, it shows Them in fashion situations and also with their famous kimonos and a year ago ABBA premieres the new official lyric video of "Money money money" I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best regards to You from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

Yes Salvo, more ABBA please haha. You still have so many great ABBA songs to get to. When you have a fantastic songwriter, a melodic genius and two world class singers and they are all perfectionists, I guess the result is a great song almost every time. Then you add a great manager, great sound engineer and all the great musicians they worked with as well to their own talents.

Super! Abba fait parti des groupes que j adore ❤

such an absolutely brilliant track. musically just awesome, harmonies as always perfect, but it's the beat! it just drives.

Your reactions are a breath of fresh air! If they ever do make you feel bad, they'll make you feel good about it, at the same time! Benny is a Master with those Ivories and their layered style in music is unmatched. Glad you enjoyed. Also wonderful you declared yourself a fan!

If you’re into musicals, you should listen to the soundtrack to the musical ”Chess” from the eighties. If you do you’ll find that it’s very abbaesque due to the fact that is was written by Abbas two geniouses, Benny Andersson an Björn Ulvéus in collaboration with the British lyricist Tim Rice. Musically it’s a Masterpiece.

I wish you were doing more ABBA, too. They had a few not-so-good songs that they regretted releasing. To find them, you have to dig through their entire catalog.

PLEASE for the love of GOD do The Visitors by ABBA!!! Like nothing they ever did and one of their last songs. It's what I imagine they would have sounded like if they didn't split. It's an amazing dance track with Frida in the lead and about the KGB knocking at your door in 80's Soviet Union!! It will blow your mind trust!! Other reactors have used words like Chills, Unique, and Alien!!

Below is a little history of the group and singer. Bucks Fizz star Jay Aston has endured a hellish ordeal over the last few years. The singer, who rose to fame when the British band won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 with 'Making Your Mind Up', has suffered from her own agonising health battles. Jay was diagnosed with mouth cancer in June 2018, had a gruelling seven-hour operation to remove a section of her tongue and then had it rebuilt using part of her thigh. They recorder this track on the day Jay was diagnosed with cancer which make it very emotional. Jay has recovered and is still touring with the group they just played a sell out concert at the 02 arena in London 43 years after winning the Eurovision.
