OKAY, THEY'RE BRINGING SOME 🔥 WITH THIS ONE! First Time Hearing ABBA - Take A Chance On Me Reaction 

Guys, may the reactions to ABBA be more frequent please, one of the best groups in history deserves it.

The winner takes it all is one of my favorites. The singing is exceptional!

Thank you so much for reacting to Abba. For me this is one of the best Bands of all times. They managed to touch the soul of people so many times with their music, over decades, they deserve to be reviewed. Not to mention their last Album, released after 40 years, and the great show in London. Abba was not always ahead of their time, but they influenced other musicians over the decades so often. Younger people, not knowing them do not recognize it, but us older ones (me being 55) do.

Thank you for a great reaction! "Does Your Mother Know/Hole In Your Soul" medley is probably one of their greatest liveclips that's available on youtube.

More ABBA reactions please. I watched a documentary and they have so many good songs. Enjoying your reactions

There’s a live performance of them doing their two songs “Does Your Mother Know” and “Hole In Your Soul” back-to-back and it’s really good! Probably their best live performance.

PLEASE “KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU”. another one of their huge hits.

They're such talented and very hardworking especially in the studio. The boys in ABBA benny and bjorn are perfectionist they try different styles and genres in every song they make

As a musician... I have one thing to say...ABBA ROCKS!! Call it a guilty pleasure if you will , and I won't..🤣 Does Your Mother Know That You're Out would be my next suggestion to you. It's a rocker... I played it with a few bands in it always fills up the Dance Floor🍻🇨🇦

AꓭBA are absolutely brilliant. I'm really enjoying hearing some of their songs again and hearing your thoughts.

Love this song. Also their videos, low budget and I think they always shot them in one day, it's impressive how fun they are. Does Your Mother Know/Hole In Your Sole, Summer Night City and The Way OId Friends Do from their live concert at Wembley are all amazing, think you'd like them.

Great reaction, Abba are just impossible to dislike. Great song writing. So many catchy melodies and choruses. I saw a documentary on them once and people from bands of the time, even punk bands were saying how great they were.

Having experienced this song when it was first released, I had, for the longest time, misheard the line "honey, I'm still free" as "olly-oxen-free"... yeah, I know.

The more time goes on, the more you realise just how fantastic ABBA were. Gimme gimme gimme is my favourite

DJ:ing and when you have mixed crowds in the leased clubs, some hardcore hip-hoppers, others crave house or techno, then you can always play Abba and the dance floor fills up.. like flies on a jam sandwich. It's funny how it works, breaking all barriers. People just want to dance.

Jane H commenting …. I loved ABBA. Everyone was dancing to their songs, & most of their songs were big Hits. They did a big concert in London, which was sold out. I was living in the Middle East for part of the 70s, & the Arabs loved them, & I saw their concerts quite a bit on TV when I was there.

Even the videos have become iconic - great cheese! The outfits, the dance routines - the originals!

THEIR GREATEST HIT IS CALLED " DANCING QUEEN " AND THE VIDEO OF THEM SINGING IT REALLY GIVES YOU AN APPRECIATION OF THEIR HARMONIES & CAPTURES THE ERA !

There's a great scene in "muriel's wedding" where Toni Collette & her friend win a karioke contest doing "dancing queen".

ABBA was so much fun! SO many catchy hit songs, 😀

A you-tube search of ABBA will pull up a few live songs

What a massive band they were. So amazing, so many hits. Thank you for this reaction.

How nice you two enjoyed one of my favourite ABBA songs! 😊 Another great one from a few years later is 'Lay All Your Love On Me' 😀👍

One thing you might not of noticed, music that came out before MTV the videos of their most songs came from TV appearances or shot from concerts. Someone from ABBA'S management had the forethought to film actual videos. I'm told they were 1 day projects on the cheap, probably why they had the Snowman.

KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU

The BIGGEST hits for them were Dancing Queen, Knowing Me, Knowing You, Mamma Mia, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), Does Your Mother Know, S.O.S., Fernando, The Name of the Game.

awesome... :) love your reactions

I am here for Abba and Elvis only. Thank you for reacting to them. I was 15 when mum intrioduced me to ABBA.

Swedens big band in the 70s and 80s ! 👍👍👍🇸🇪😎💕

There's a great live version of Does Your Mother Know here on RU-vid. They always brought killer musicians on tour and sounded as great as the recordings.

ABBA is just pure Gold of music

Mama Mia 🔥🔥🔥

Again, you need to go back to their first great hit Waterloo. It started them on the road to international fame. It is a great song with creative play on the historical battle of Waterloo. Fun, Fast, Furious. ABBA

From the same album, we recommend "One Man, One Woman".

Knowing Me Knowing You is hauntingly beautiful, Fernando is different etc etc etc :) Keep going with Abba :)

All of ABBA reminds me being stationed in Germany back in the 70's. Outdoor ice skating rinks played a LOT of ABBA. What a great time.

You can bet that when every one of them passes away, there will need to be a state funeral in Stockholm with a 3-day visitation since the line to pay respects to them will be miles long.

Next should be Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight. You will love it 💣

ABBA was huge. You have no idea.

Abba are great fun to listen to.

During the 70’s and 80’s ABBA was the majority of Sweden’s GDP

Abba singing Why does it have to be me live in Australia. Very good

Erasure did a brilliant comic cover of this the video is brilliant.

So damn catchy..

Awesome song

They did in UN one time and I have seen that video on RU-vid

Parabéns pela reação. Adorei. Sugiro does mother e hole your soul ao vivo

Gute Laune Musik 😊

Not everybody was embarrassed to admit to being ABBA fans. But back in the day it was a "THING" among "THE SERIOUS/HARDCORE ROCK FAN". to look down on ABBA. A lot like it was a "thing" for them to " look down on the "CARPENTERS" But in both cases "the serious/hardcore rock fans" were being silly, and were wrong.

They really knew how to make decent music back than.

Great reaction to a greate song and video! Love how Benny "chases" after Frida 🤣

Hate em and love em. Complicated and involves roller skates and 80s teen angst.

I did not hear you mention one of their biggest hits. > Dancing Queen

This band is Swedish I believe. The English wasn’t so great. But they were a global sensation, after the disco world of music

My Best friend always made fun of me because i Love ABBA all the time. He went to the movies with his wife to see Mama Mia. He told his wife as they were watching how much he Loved the music. His wife replied "Really Corey? This is ABBA singing all the songs. 😂😂😂

Take a listen to their 1981 club hit, The Visitors. Very different for them.

GIMME GIMME GIMME is a very upbeat ABBA song and sounds great. Of course Dancing Queen is another must that is more popular but I think the GIMME GIMMe GIMME is better.

Not much live stuff on RU-vid, but som from UK an Australia

ABBA put the pop in pop Best pop band next to the Beatles the Beatles however were much more than a pop band by the end

Speaking of the late 70s how about something from the first album of The Cars. Maybe…”Just What I Needed”.

Just for fun facts.. Bee Gees was huge fans of ABBA.. not the other way around 🤘

Some 'live' performance suggestions. Yeah, the 'Does Your Mother Know' / 'Hole In Your Soul' combo is really good. There is also a great version of 'Why Did It Have To Be Me' from ABBA's iconic Australia tour in 1977. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TnKydgJz5Eo.html . 'Dancing Queen' from the same tour is fantastic too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7A9jbN_1Ufw.html 'Super Trouper' and 'Slipping Through My Fingers' from the Dick Cavett mini concert are also excellent. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oy3wVAmm1yk.html

Just for the record, they weren't "two couples who came together" as you said, but four singles who all had successful recording careers BEFORE ABBA. They first started collaborating on each others studio recordings and at music festivals in 1969 and first became a couple and two singles, when Bjorn and Agnetha married in 1971, during the formation phase of the group. By the end of 1971 Benny and Anni-Frid were also living together, but would not start their short-lived marriage until 6 October 1978. The year after THEIR marriage, in 1979, Bjorn and Agnetha divorced, which also lead to 'The Winner Takes It All' as a vocal way to deal with the painful experience of separating from a long-term partner ... so they were two married couples for only about 9 months. Benny and Anni-Frid Separated on 26 November 1980, two years and seven weeks after their marriage, and were divorced exactly twelve months later (26 Nov 1981)

Clearly we all live in the worst timeline, but is there a timeline where Benny Andersson and Jeff Lynne composed albums together?

Now you have to go watch the Erasure cover.... you won't believe it.

English was not their first language they are Sweetish

Try ..hole in your soul ..live..

NO! NO LIVE VERSION OF DANCING QUEEN! OFFICIAL VIDEO PLEASE! As for live do "So Long" 1975 live from Germany, "Money Money Money" live from Japan, to hear them really rock out try "Hole in Your Soul" live. other good videos are Knowing Me Knowing You" , "the name of the game" and "If it wasn't for the nights" from Japan. Also Summer Night City official video. Hope to see more ABBA on your channel. Take care

so many bands learnt from the Beatles... :)

ABBA is known for Dancing Queen, not dancing.

Why not make a reaction video of ABBA;s comeback album from 2021?" Don2t shut med down" for instancec

According to Pete Townsend of The Who, "SOS" is the best pop song ever written....and he's not wrong...definitely check that one out...top drawer stuff.

Great react guys!👌 ABBA NEVER DISSAPOINT. More upbeat ...try 'Mamma Mia' Another breakup song ...try 'Knowing me, knowing you' More ingredients to the mix ...try 'Does your mother know' See you soon, guys😊 Love ❤ from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍

ABBA is exceptional, I've enjoyed listening to them since the 70's, and that's coming from a hard-core Southern Rocker. Peace Out 😊✌️

I never listened to ABBA prior to 2023, but I can’t stop now. Help, what is happening to me?

Thank you for ABBA!If you ever do DANCING QUEEN live as you said,DO the 1977 ultimate version,It's the best live one.

This one have hooks in the high register, low register and in the middle :) Now, I think its time for you to do "Name of the game.." from the same album.

ABBA was definitely a guilty pleasure for us country boys when I was in school. LOL But it was the skating rink that we heard it the most. Now with movies like Mama Mia ABBA has been having a resurgence giving back flashbacks. But it is great to see newer generations getting into it.

Hello from Sweden. Really like your reactions. Fun fact: One of the members in ABBA, Björn, said that the beat in this song "came to him" when he was out jogging on the island of Lidingö, Stockholm. When he was running, his steps on the wet ground sounded like _"take a chance, take a chance..._ Björn said that he wanted to emphasize this beat in the beginning of the song: 2:06

So nice to see you return to reaction more ABBA songs "Take a chance on me" (1978) is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, the most selling song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen), #3 in Billboard U.S. one of their four Top10 in US : #6 Waterloo (1974) #1 Dancing Queen (1977) #3 Take a chance on me (1978) #8 The winner takes it all (1981) This is one of few song than the vocals are more extensive than the music (They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end) the blonde singer Agnetha is the lead vocal in the solo verses, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with the brunette Anni Frid in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance') Agnetha & Anni Frid have fantastic voices and harmonies together Agnetha is soprano Anni Frid is mezzo soprano and together made a 'third voice' the guitarist Björn got the idea while jogging, by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance, chance, take a chance", so the song was born Although it is a disco europop, it's like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying, addictive if I could give You a suggestion for next reaction, take a review of all "ABBA The Álbum" (release at the same time with "ABBA The Movie" in 1977), is a Masterpiece of versatility in each song, but specialy the hymn "Thank you for the music" or the winner song of the classic Eurovisión Song Contest at UK 1974: "Waterloo" the live perfomanece of ABBA is icónic, I leave you to the reaction: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3FsVeMz1F5c.html&feature=share9 ( next year will be the 50th anniversary ) I wish you a greatest week My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

Over 1,000,000 tickets have been sold in the dedicated hologram ABBA concert in London with a specially built auditorium just for ABBA,.

One of the few groups that can come back cold from a 40 year hiatus and hit number one almost worldwide (#2 in the USA.) ABBA was doing music videos years before anyone else.

I just adore your appreciation for Abba. Fernando, One of us, Gimme gimme gimme, Angel eyes, The day before you came, Lay all your love on me an dmy personal fave, Move on, are other AWESOME songs by Abba. You won't be disappointed 👌

Abba is timeless, one of the best ever, i was listen to hard rock with my friends and secretly listen to abba home 😊

FYI, Anni-Frid (red head) married a honest to God Prince much later after ABBAs, break up. His name was Prince Heinrich Russo Reuss of the house of Reuss. Heinrich later died from cancer and because "Frida" never re-married she still carries the Royal title of ; Princes Anne-Frid Reuss, Countess of Plauen which is a very small country around Germany. (I think!). Fridas' net worth is $350 million which dwarfs her other three band mates.

Fernando is a great song aswell where Frida is doing the lead vocal.

Two kinds of people out there: those who like ABBA and Liars.

ABBA is a very unusual group with the great creative duo of Benny and Björn, and two world class lead vocalists, Agnetha and Anni-Frid (Frida), switching off and singing harmonies. It might be interesting to react to some of the songs where Frida is singing lead, like "Fernando" and "I Have a Dream" There are live versions of "Thank You for the Music" (where Agnetha sings lead) and "I Have a Dream" (where Frida does) on RU-vid. EDIT: It occurs to me that I never mentioned any songs where the guys sing lead. I know Björn sings lead on "Does Your Mother Know," I'm not certain if Benny ever actually sings lead, but there are a couple of other songs where one of them sings lead.

The guy that made these videos for ABBA in the beginning and also ABBA the movie was Lasse Hallström, then Hollywood took over and he directed some really big movies there.

I will say, I was never embarrassed to be an ABBA fan. They were especially big in Mexico (and Latin America) because they sang some of their hits in Spanish. Huge for an international group to do that! Then and now!

Benny & Bjorn (pronounced Be-yorn) were the two songwriting geniuses who created all ABBA's wonderful melodies and harmonies and made them one of the greatest pop bands in the history of music. I've loved their music ever since ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with their first hit 'Dancing Queen' and introduced themselves to the world back in 1974. God bless all four of them for ever, their musical contributions will live in our hearts always. 🙋‍♂ 🙋‍♂ 🙋‍♂ 🙋‍♂

I really liked this reaction and I suggest "Summer night city" (live at Wembley) to see them in concert. To see them work in studio i recommend "Gimmi, gimmi, gimmi". 🙂

Live Version: Dancing Queen from 1977, it’s even better than the version from 1979. Studio recordings: The Day Before You Came is a must, it’s so different. And Knowing Me, Knowing You or One Man One Woman.

In the late 70's, ABBA was the third richest corporation in Sweden, only behind SAAB, and Volvo.....

My absolute favorite ABBA song. I still have the 45 vinyl.

My dad introduced me to Abba you two do an excellent job have an outstanding weekend stay safe 👍

I used to listen to the album Abba Arrival secretly while being in a grunge band 😂

The Bee Gees were a huge inspiration to ABBA! they stated in many interviews how much they looked up to them in terms of music writing and harmonies.

3:06 Agnetha was always the one with a crazy vocal range and Anni-Frid had more bass, that's why they had such good harmony.

ABBA was the biggest band ever at one point in time... They offered them many years later after they had already broken up and stopped singing years ago.. One Billion dollars to do one more concert and they refused.
