Well. the 2 guys are the girls husbands. They all 4 write the songs/music and the 2 guys 'adlib' in most of their songs. You might want to do a little study on their techniques. It is unique. BeeGees do that also.

These girls could sing.

Their sound engineer Michael B Tretow is a big reason why their songs still hold up, sonically (sure, they lack the sub bass of modern music but still). He was a bit ahead of his time with the mixing and layering of sounds. Nice to see someone paying attention to the mixing of their stuff! Another little well kept ABBA "secret" is their sometimes very funky basslines. The bass player they used most often, Rutger Gunnarsson, was a damn genius on the bass. A lot of people don't pay attention to the intricacies of the ABBA basslines.

I studied music many yrs ago and I listen to everything as the track is played. ABBA left no stone unturned and their songs are beautifully composed and worked out. They wrote ''perfect'' songs meaning you cannot improve them. ''perfect'' songs are very rare but they do pop up from time to time in the mainstream music. The Beatles wrote perfect songs too that cannot be bettered. ABBA also had a magical gliss on their songs which gave them a character all of their own. ABBA are in the top for brilliance for composition which cannot be toppled. They are of the best out there.

Their sound was made by Mikael B Tretow their sound engineer. Even called the 5th member of ABBA. And remeber, no computers or Autotune. Pure voices.

Abba is famous for their harmonies. They are the best of the best. These two ladies are absolutely fantastic at singing together. All the band members were famous singers in their own right before Abba. Agnetha was a singer-songwriter, Björn was in a band The Hootennanny singers, Benny was in band called The Hepstars and Frida performed with a dance band singing jazz, etc.

I discovered ABBA as a teenager in Phoenix, Arizona, but they just weren't catching on there. I heard them a lot more when I spent a couple of years in South America. When I returned to Phoenix, I put Chiquitita on for a cousin to listen to. Her mother came rushing out of her bedroom astounded. The song is magical.

What you are hearing in the background is a countermelody , an adlib is something different, in this context. The lady with the deep auburn hair is Anni-Frid, but she always went by Frida. What you are hearing from Frida is years of experience, she became a professional singer at the age of 13.

So true. It is very difficult to sing ABBA songs. Agnetha and Frida are incredibly talented vocalists

This song is straight from the Swedish folk music tradition. You can hear it in umm-pah umm-pah in the chorus and also the extra background vocal lines which you picked up on would be found in folk singing rounds. I've been listening to this song for 40 years and I never tire of it. I like that you appreciate the detail in their songs which only increased with their maturity. Have a listen to 'I let the music speak' from right at the end of their time together. The layers of almost choral harmonies towards the end are breath taking.

They donated this song to UNICEF incl all rights and income from it.

When AββA released their «all-Spanish» album.... «Gracias Por La Musica», in 1980, it was a big success in all Latin America. On the album is «Chiquitita» in Spanish, and it went to Nº 1 in México.......where it stayed at the top for 32 weeks. ♫♪♪♪♥

ABBA were magical and thank God for that:)

There is something about Frida's smile that is just a never ending joy to see.

My father (rest in peace, dad) was a MAJOR fan of ABBA, and they were the 1st music I heard as a child back in the late 70s. I've loved ABBA ever since then, unwavering. Bjorn (pronounced Byorn), Agnetha (Agkneetha). So glad you're loving this older, purer type of music.

Beautiful song & vocally one of their most powerful performances. Their "Gold Greatest Hits" album has just become the longest running album EVER in the UK Charts, over one thousand weeks & STILL in the Top 20.

Benny and Bjorn, aside from being talented musicians, also produced ALL of their music and are responsible for their incredible sound. There is NO auto-tunes or effects available in the day to make the girls sound that good. Their voices are that good.

Thanks for the ABBA. Man these girls could/can sing. And if you do any live stuff you'll see it's all real. Perfect harmony's every time. This song was done for the children of the world and most of the money from it still goes to UNICEF. The snow is because it was broadcast from Sweden.

Hello again and thanks a lot for another reaction to ABBA songs remember: ABBA was swedish, two couples that recording as a group only between 1972/1982 You are reacting to Bee Gees too; curiosly: ABBA & Bee Gees was together in Concert for Unicef 1979 Bee Gees perforned "Too much heaven" and ABBA presents... "Chiquitita"! (all songs from this concert donated royalties to UNICEF) "Chiquitita" is an amazing ballad pop lyrics of hope, great melodies, fantastic harmonies, a beautiful song! "Chiquitita was a worldwide hit, specialy in Hyspan American countries You heard before "Dancing Queen" (with the two female in leads vocals) and "Chiquitita" now (with the blonde Agnetha in lead voice) And you are telling us that the next reactions will be Mamma Mia (the two girls in leeds vocals) S.O.S. & Gimme gimme gimme (both with the blonde Agnetha in lead voice) I suggest you for more reactions another songs with the brunette Anni Frid in the lead voice, to see the difference: Fernando Knowing me knowing you Super trouper (all these was #1 in UK) I hope for much ABBA videos Have a nice week!

ABBA recorded many of their songs in Spanish. Chiquitita turned into the great lockdown balcony song in Spanish-speaking countries during 2020 pandemic

Their music is going to sound different because as growing up they were exposed to many many different genre's including Classical and Theatrical. This song has a Spanish Influence as does the Great Hit Fernando sung by Anna Frid, the Dark Haired lady in the group.

One of my favourite ABBA songs, it's just got a happy uplifting vibe. Bjorn & Benny are songwriting geniuses, the more of their music u listen to I think you'll appreciate their instrument arrangements.

My favorite song from ABBA and the ending is killer! The backing vocal layers reminds me of Queen! Also their song Mama Mia came out in 1975 when Bohemian Rhapsody also came out and has this line Mama Mia!))) 2 hit songs from the same year with their owns Mama Mia)))

If you like the background riffs from this song, you'll like their song "Knowing Me Knowing You" as well. They use the background vocals more during the chorus of that song. Has a very haunting melody as well. One of my favorites.

hello, i'm so glad you were here again to continue with your reactions to ABBA songs several things to say about "Chiquitita" and its context "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence "Chiquitita" was composed especially for the Concert by UNICEF, it premiered that night and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF "Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America, that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary that in the following years ABBA recorded an album with its best songs entirely in Spanish And some of the intimacy "Chiquitita" was recorded in December 1978, before Christmas; days later the blonde singer Agnetha (28) and the guitarist Björn (33) was separated with two youngest childs (but they continue together in the group four years more, until their last recording in 1982) This promotional video was in February 1979 in Swizterland, their only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden "Chiquitita" is in my Top 10 of all ABBA songs All another 10 greatest songs and worldwide hits that You can react: Waterloo Fernando Knowing me knowing you The name of the game Take a chance on me Summer night city I have a dream The winner takes it all Super trouper One of us I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Argentina

This was filmed in Switzerland, the tv special was called Abba in Switzerland and they are outside in the snow. The reason for the snowman in the background.

If you studied recording arts. Well ABBA is for you!!! You will be amazed.

They were there own back up, the girls did all the back up vocals on the album they also did something very new by playing multiple recordings of the vocals on top of each other, basically the girls sing on top of their own voices which gave them a very unique depth to the songs, so creative

These guys will never be silenced. Timeless music. Never knew who produce them but it's always top notch.

Super Trouper released in 1980 was the band's 9th hit No. 1 in the UK. For 20 years, the performance placed ABBA in 4th place in the all-time rankings, behind the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard.

Abba are simply an amazing band that are too often overlooked because they are often associated with Disco, a musical style that some people are just "too cool" to like. Explore further, you will find that era filled with wonderful work that people prefer to ignore because it isn't cool to like them. I'm sure you know Donna Summer, and she is often relegated to just a disco queen, but her albums were also full of wonderful R&B stuff.

ABBA put Sweden on the "Pop Map" - starting with "Waterloo" in 1974. None of the members spoke very much English, since Swedish is their native tongue - and the ladies learned the text to each song (at first...) phonetically. Don't worry, Your "one hit wonder" comment is long forgotten - instead, Your enthusiasm for these four talented members of iconic Pop Royalty is what warms my heart.💕

Great analysis, like how you realized a lot of details first listening to the song, especially the emotions from Anni Frida that catched you. ABBA is really pure emotions, so uplifting. You see 2 married couples that got all the way from the Olymp down to hell when they divorced ("Winner takes it all" is the keyword here). Can't wait to see your other ABBA reactions!

Hello from Sweden 😀🇸🇪 Had to subscribe immediately after this great reaction!!!

I'm glad you enjoy them. They are my favorite group of all time. As a big ABBA Fan, please react to "Take A Chance On Me". It's my favorite song from them & you might like the sound.

Bro, you have one of the few reactions channels where you actually offer insights and analysis, not just "Oh wow" like many other channels. Although every Abba song is legit "Oh wow".

ABBA s music makes you feel good even today it stands up ,they had many many hits !

Thanks for reacting to this. This song, I would say, draws on traditions in European folk music. Very singable, harmonic, balanced and with a message. In the end you feel good and complete. It doesn't aim to be hip or cool. It aims to be timeless. I think it's aged well. On another note, I remember hearing about a computer program that was written to predict the greatest pop song of all time. Countless songs were fed into the algorithm and in the end the song it finally chose was one by ABBA . . . called "Waterloo". Give that one a spin if you have a moment. It's pretty catchy. (Sorry, I just see that you DID react to it. I'll go check it out now. Cheers!)

Bro I'm Canadian your one of the best reactors...just saying !

I have just subscribed and immediately i got shocked,paralized, almost a stroke when you said abba is a one hit wonder.Jesus!!!Which planet do you actually live on?I'm from Hungary/Europe/and Abba had so many huge hits here i can't even count them.They were by far the most successful musical act from 1976 to 1981.They are still very popular.Wherever you go you can hear Abba songs on the radio,in clubs,at shopping centres,everywhere.

The lines “so the walls came tumbling down / and your life’s a blown-out candle / all is gone and it seems too hard to handle” absolutely wrecks me!!!!

Agnetha wrote a lot of songs before Abba. But when she met Björn and Benny, she let them do that work :) I belive she contributed just one or two songs to Abba, one was "Disillusion" the other a little solo piece on stage.

Finally today in September 2022 your video reaction to "Chiquitita." by ABBA surpassed 50.000 views fantastic! These are the 12 most viewed ABBA songs on your channel: #1 105,000 SOS #5 88,000 The winner takes it all #10 54,000 Don't shut me down #12 50,000 Chiquitita #13 49,000 Knowing me knowing you #14 47,000 Gimme Gimme Gimme #15 44,000 Thank you for their music #17 43,000 Dancing Queen #24 34,000 Mamma Mia #35 26,000 Fernando #37 26.000 The name of the game #40 25.000 Take a chance on me Is incredible how much videos of ABBA are in with the most views 12 in the Top40 8 in the Top20 3 in the Top10 2 in the Top5 and the Top of all: "S.O.S." and the ABBA videos with most views are with Agnetha in the leading the first four, and six of the seven first

Fabian, I think you're the first reactor to notice - or at least mention - those counter melodies in the background towards the end of the verse. Kudos. Such a simple thing that makes the song instantly 20% better. God is in the details.

If was to recommend an Abba song for you to react to I would say, Every single song they ever laid down on a track.

ABBA includes so much musical genius in a pop song, it's amazing. The song writing is incredible.

Like a angle passing though the room -long version is a great ABBA song .

Chiquitita needs to be listened in its Spanish version. You may only get a word of two, but it has an entirely different feeling. Number #1 song in basically all Latin-America countries back in the day.

I'm a Spanish native speaker and Chiquitita is a little girl. They're talking to a little girl and this song was used by Unicef in those days.

My favorite Abba album is Arrival

You're absolutely right about that background vocal...just adds another dimension to the song

I am a different generation as well but ABBA has been a treasure box for me since I was 10 🤩

ABBA was a huge hit for us Aussie kids back in the day (1970s). There were kids to loved ABBA (myself included). There were kids who hated ABBA. And, there were kids who loved to hate those who loved ABBA! The popularity of ABBA has withstood the test of time, even long after their break up, earning that well-deserved definition of Timeless!

I like your honesty. You say you studied recording arts, 42 years ago when this song came out there was no "Recording Arts" they practiced what sounded and this good is still good today. I really do appreciate your point of view on ABBA, please say it right its Ab as in your stomach muscles, and AH as in the noise of relief AbAh. Cheers mate, keep up the good work

Chiquitita means "Little Girl" in Spanish.

I love ABBA sm and I feel like everytime they sing the more calm I become

ABBA gave all Royalties to UNICEF for this song. For ever.

More reactions of Abba

Usually, those who won the «Eurovision Song Contest», were one-hit wonders, so when ΑββΑ won in Brighton (England), on 6 April, 1974, many had already written them off as such. But, Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Ann-Frid Lyngstad, had other plans. ♫♪♪♪

You need to listen to their SPANISH VERSION OF CHIQUITITA...they translate perfection

I have to say I LOVE your reactions, that you love ABBA and appreciate music!! I found you bc I have been on ABBA kick since the 2 new songs. (Those 2 were played the most this wk lol) I have been a fan since my childhood and couldn't believe they came back after all this time. Absolute dream come true. I either wasn't old enough, or my dad probably couldn't afford (or even get tix) at Boston Garden when they played in either 79 or 80 I think. My neighbor went I was SO bummed. I am going to watch all your ABBA videos....thank you for loving them! Makes me so happy when I see brand new fans. 😍 I was heartbroken the day my father told me they broke up and he showed me the newspaper article 💔. This has been the happiest week of my life in a long time,. Finally... new, real, music is back!!!!! Can't wait for the rest of the album and your reactions!!

Try out Knowing Me Knowing You, Fernando, Money Money Money, or The Name of the Game --- brilliant stuff and huge hits back then. But my favorite track is The Visitors, which is the title track of their last album from 1981. There is no video, just audio - but what brilliant audio :-)

THE BUILD UP OF THIS TRACK, PERFECTION. WHEN THE GIRLS HARMONIZE, SOMETHING MAGIC HAPPENS. THE REVENUE OF SALES FROM THIS SINGLE, THEY DONATED TO UNICEF. HAVE A GO AT THIS SONG: SO LONG, FROM THEIR 3'RD ALBUM TITLED: ABBA. U HAVE A ABBALICIOUS DAY🤗🤗🤗🤗

Your observation of the background vocals is spot on. A "small" detail overlooked by most. ✌

Try their last album "The Visitors", a true gem.

Chiquitita: Little one, young one, child, baby. I used to sing this to my daughter when she was upset, and still do sometimes even though she's now in her teens. It's such a loving song, written from the heart with the full intent of giving strength and guidance to your child.

What a Happy chappy here. ABBA rocks!

Abba es una belleza de armonías y composición musical que vienen a llenar de luz esta mundo que oscurece!!!❤

I remember watching this for the first time in 1979 as part of a concert to raise funds for UNICEF. They donated proceeds from the song to a UNICEF cause. I remember upon hearing it for the first time that I thought the song was going to be a big hit & it was. Enjoying your inciteful reactions.

The Gods of pop matey..

One of my favorite ABBA songs is Waterloo.

Thanks for your reaction, Fabian

Chiquitita is a refugee from South America to Sweden, but now she is Anita’s and Annefried’s best friend, and they are trying to help her. The piano outro is amazing.

These guys were masters of the studio. They wrote the book on "recording arts". They were also great composers. Back in the 70's and 80's people bought vinyl albums brought them home and listened to them on really good stereo systems not crappy cell phones. So all the nuances of the recording had to be perfect. And these guys played the studio like a instrument. Multitracking of vocals was also a big thing. Guitars were also multitracked. This gave everything a much bigger sound. ABBA is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get!!

Listen to the song 'Like An Angel Passing Through My Room' sung by Frida, It's from their album 'The Visitors', their last album. it always makes me emotional.

Abba sempre e tu quanto sei simpatico?❤❤❤❤

Chiquitita means little girl... This song is a piece of art, and their voices...

I don't think Frida ever wrote. Agnetha wrote her 1st hit at age 17. Her stuff was all in Swedish. I think in ABBA she never felt a need to. And Benny and Bjorn were just so good at it she probably was intimidated. They were all big stars in Sweden on their own. Kinda like Swedens best got married and formed a group.

ABBA singing Thank you for the music, amazing

When they initially came out they spoke no English , but they knew to have real success they would have to breakthrough the language barrier .

Benny, on piano, wrote much of the music & Bjorn, the one on guitar, wrote lyrics. The two women did the primary singing and their voices worked so well together that the sound was fantastic. They had excellent studio musicians including a bass player named Rutger Gunnarson who died recently and very highly regarded for his skills on bass. There was a great studio engineer, Michael Tretow, and a sound man named Claes Gaiijerstam who both helped create the ABBA sound. They sold 385 million albums around the world. The combined net worth is more than $1 billion.
