@ythomitnellum 7 месяцев назад

And yet it so nearly didn’t happen. The original Swedish entry was dropped after getting into legal troubles and the Swedish network approached ABBA to fill in; having failed to make the cut the previous year, and feeling pretty unhappy about it, they were initially reluctant, but their record company “persuaded” them to go for it.

In the early '70s, very few musical groups were making videos for their songs. Benny and Bjorn figured out early that music TV shows would play these clips and promote their songs. Since ABBA was an international group, these clips were played all around the world and helped make the band even bigger. It was a brilliant move, since was a whole decade before MTV.

@Marianne_321 7 месяцев назад

I doubt they will react to Dancing Queen as I heard Amber say in a video ages ago that 'everyone knows Dancing Queen' so I think that was the only Abba song they knew & heard previously so therefore can't react as a first time hearing unless they haven't seen the video & could react to that. Must say I was disappointed when I realised. I hope they react to the video so we still see a reaction even if it isn't the first time they heard it. Loved Luca's appearance today to, so adorable.

@Marianne_321 Месяц назад

@@MIKECNW I never said she was an expert. Just that with Abba, Dancing Queen seems to be the groups best known & most popular track with the public & judging by Amber saying that 'everyone knows Dancing Queen' beforehand (when they reacted to another video). that it could be the one track they already knew from Abba before reacting to other tracks which they didn't know. People constantly ask Amber & Jay in comments whenever they do an Abba track to react to Dancing Queen & they haven't so far & I suggested it could be because they already know it so can't give a genuine first reaction of the song. However while (possibly) knowing the song they may not have seen the Dancing Queen video, so could react to that & in this way it would still make many who want to see their reaction to that song happy.

@garyporter1702 6 месяцев назад

My wife drove me crazy with Abba for so long, and being a rocker since the 60s, I certainly wasn't on board with Abba! It really didn't matter to her, she'd just tell me to go to my 'Man Cave' if I didn't want to hear it! And she was right. Lord knows I drove her crazy with my rock. Sadly, I lost her to cancer three years ago, and I must admit, Abba never sounded so good as this reaction. Thank you for reacting to this song (which was one of her favorites), and giving me a little time spent with my wife again.

This brings back childhood memories, The UK was hosting the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, and for the first time, I was allowed to stay up late to watch the entire annual Eurovision Song Contest.The rules of the contest at the time the performers whether solo or a group/band had to perform with a full orchestra. So ABBA had their Swedish conductor dressed as Napoleon, i remember the excitement as the International juries votes came in. ABBA won the contest for Sweden, launching the group on the International stage.

"Waterloo" (1974) is one of my favorites, and is in my Top 5 of all ABBA songs (with S.O.S. , Dancing Queen, The winner takes it all & Don't shut me down) and I think that is the song that change history, not only for ABBA, for Sweden and Eurovision too "Waterloo" was the song that ABBA wrote especially to participate in the annual Eurovision Song Contest By the rules of the competition the songs could not exceed 3 minutes (that its 2:46) and ABBA made a masterpiece! ABBA sing it in Swedish, for the local selection in Sweden (February 1974) and finally ABBA sing it in English in the final held in England (April 1974) before 16 interpreters and songs from all over Europe. "Waterloo" and ABBA win Eurovision for the first time for Sweden It will be Their first big worldwide hit: #1 in UK and half Europe (also South Africa), and Top 10 in U.S., Canada, Australia , New Zealand and the rest of Europe ABBA recording "Waterloo" in swedish, english, german and french Several years later, in 2005, to the 50th Eurovision anniversary, "Waterloo" was chosen as the Best Song in all the history of Eurovisión i hope you have a nice week Kind regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South América

@@erroristmusic Too true. It's a shame though, especially given the whole reason the ESC started was to bring people together with music and it seems to be becoming less and less about the music with each passing year. I like to do a "blind" listening to the songs prior to the competition if I can (since most songs are released ahead of time), I pop them into a playlist, set it to shuffle and don't look at the names of the artist/song/country...etc. I just assign each a number, rate the songs and check to see who did what afterwards. It's really interesting, as even if they do sing in their "native" language it's not necessarily always obvious who sang what (i.e. French is common to several countries and a song can be sung in any language really, regardless of which country the representing singer is from).

Benny and Bjorn were and still are master song writers and Agneta and Anni Frid were beautiful beyond belief , with voices that could shame a a flock of nightingales . Another great song of theirs is So Long ( see you honey ) , which doesnt get the recognition for how good it actually is . A bit of history about ABBA is that it wasnt the first time ABBA tried to enter Eurovision. In Sweden they have what is called " Melodifestivalan", where the people of Sweden pick the act they want to represent Sweden at Eurovision. In 1973 ABBA entered Melodifestivalen with the song Ring Ring and finished in 3rd place with just 8 points and 29 points behind the eventual winner. Then we all know what happened the next year, ABBA won the competition with a staggering 302 points , 89 points ahead of the 2nd placed artist

Since most of the Scandinavian countries are celebrating ABBA's 50th anniversary these days, I thought it might be a good idea for you to make a reaction to "ABBA: The Movie". It's a movie shot during their trip to Australia and the managers idea was to make a movie, without the ABBA members being aware of it, the only "actors" were the "journalist" and a "bodyguard". The ABBA members were told, the cameras were for for a documentary...It's a feel good movie, that really shows, how big ABBA was in Australia. Australia opened ABBA's road to fame, after the win at the Eurovision Song Contest, their music was refused to be played on air, since they were written of as a one hit wonder, as most of the Eurovision winners. Even in their native Sweden, they didn't get any air time for a year and a half, until the Australian tour, when the UK opened their eyes for the ABBA mania, which was followed up by 19 consecutive ABBA hits!!!

This was ABBA's breakout hit that made them worldwide superstars. In 1974 I was living in Waterloo Belgium, and after they won the Eurovision Song Contest they visited the town to give a sort of thank you for the inspiration.

I love all of ABBA songs, but Jay and Amber, you must be saving the best for the last with Dancing Queen is by far the best ABBA song in my opinion.

@Marianne_321 7 месяцев назад

Heard Amber say 'everyone knows Dancing Queen' on one of their video's ages ago. So it appears it's one they heard outside of this channel previously. I think it's the only Abba track they heard before. I'm hoping they cover 'Thankyou for the music ' next or 'I do, I do, I do, I do, I do' I love their reactions!

The 2 very strong female vocalists have a unique, sort of natural chorus created when they sing in unison. I'll always remember ABBA for that. That and a slew of big hit songs. Considering English is their 2nd language, this song in particular is quite a lyrical feat.

This is first song I ever heard from Abba, in the summer of '74 while I was stationed in coastal NC with the USMC. Great song by a great group!

You should watch the movie "Muriels Wedding" with Toni Collette! It's filled with ABBA❤

Hey guys! I love, love, love this ABBA song. I clicked the vid immediately, and seconds later, I was bouncing around, dancing in my kitchen in the *best* mood. Thanx so much for your reaction. So glad to hear you guys loved this song, too. Peace out. ☮️

I was 9 years old when ABBA won the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson with Waterloo and their music grabbed me and hasn't let me go to this day. The style of their music is unique. They can be fast and powerful but also slow like with Eagle, which is a slower track, and this changeability was always what set them apart and you could always tell in the music what mood they were in when writing and composing .Abba were unique, something like that will no longer exist and that's why their music will accompany us for a very long time and inspire other artists. greetings from Germany🎧

ABBA had the best melodies ever. Even my hard rock buddies agreed. And those lead singers....'nuff said.

@Kuesel68 6 месяцев назад

One of the ultimate Eurovision songs. It was putting the band up to the stratosphere where they stayed for the rest of the decade. The LP was btw very diverse with every style there was around, even hard rock.

@jonathanokeefe9783 7 месяцев назад

If you want to go for a very different side of ABBA, try 'The Day Before You Came' - one of their last singles before they broke up. It's a very mysterious, quietly devastating song. It wasn't a big hit but has really become a cult fan favourite over the years - with much speculation about what the song is really about.

I just have to echo a couple things that I've seen several comments on already. Watch Muriel's Wedding on your movie channel. Toni Collette (Cole's mom in Sixth Sense) launched her career starring as Muriel. The scene with this song is great! Second, you really need to hear Dancing Queen next. It's ABBA's biggest hit, and I know you'll love it! I'll be here cheering you on to half a million subs! But you definitely get more than 500k smiles a day. I often watch with my sister, and I know lots of others love to share your reactions with important people in their lives. Thanks so much for being a joyful part of our days!

The four ABBA members were all well known in their homeland with previous chart success so they were a kind of Swedish 'Supergroup'. But they faced obstacles in breaking out from their domestic scene. That's why they took the Eurovision route. To get international exposure. It's estimated that up to 500 million TV viewers saw them win with this song. And I think a lot of older ABBA fans can recall when they performed. You could tell they were a bit special.

There's a plaque on a park bench in my former home town Linköping, in a small park outside a hotel very near the cathedral. Apparently this is where the two guys in ABBA first met, while doing national service as conscripts in the Swedish army, in the infantry regiment that used to be there. Björn and Benny. They were both famous in Sweden by then, Björn as a member of a folk group, the Hootenanny Singers, and Benny as a member of a rock group, the Hep Stars. And Agnetha and Anni-Frid had very successful careers as singers going on, separately. So ABBA (Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid. Get it?) was very much a supergroup, with already famous people getting together in a band. Well, famous here in Sweden. The world fame came later. Here's a very cute video with a very young Agnetha, from her solo days, with the help of the Swedish Air Force: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jfLDDChIRtg.html

Great aren't they, just pure joy and emotion. A few suggestions if you haven't done them yet "If It Wasn't For The Nights" "One Of Us" "Name Of The Game" " When I Kissed The Teacher" "Tiger" "Our Last Summer" "Summer Night City". Keep them coming .

One of Abba's best, and my favorite of their's. If y'all haven't already, check out this song in the movie "Muriel's Wedding." Hilarious. And again, if y'all haven't yet, watch this movie. You will get a kick out of it. Also ... the lyrics in this song are worth paying attention to. Witty.

Love this song; love this group! I can't wait until y'all have reacted to all of ABBA's songs that are in the musical Mamma Mia! so you can finally react to that movie musical too 😁 Then you can start working on their songs that are in their second movie musical, Here We Go Again. 😁😁😁 Okay, here's your goal: These are all the ABBA songs you need to hear because they're in the first movie musical Mamma Mia!: Lay All Your Love on Me Super Trouper Honey, Honey The Name Of The Game SOS Our Last Summer When All Is Said And Done The Winner Takes It All Mamma Mia Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) Money, Money, Money Thank You for the Music Take A Chance On Me Voulez-Vous I Have a Dream Dancing Queen Slipping Through My Fingers Does Your Mother Know I think y'all are about halfway there now. 😍🥰

Something that both ABBA and Celine Dion have in common. The annual Eurovision Song Contest in Europe launched both of their careers. ABBA won in the U.K. representing Sweden in 1974, and Celine Dion won in Ireland, representing Switzerland in 1988.

@helindove2237 7 месяцев назад

Céline won with the French song "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi". In my country it was quite successful. I don't know if she ever recorded an English version of that song. Translated it is: Don't leave without me.

@Leifdk1 6 месяцев назад

@@helindove2237I don’t think Celine ever did record an English version (although I feel I’ve heard a live - at least partially English - version). She did record a German one called “Hand in Hand” though… but it was only ever released on 7” vinyl to my knowledge.

In 1975, ABBA performed this song on Saturday Night Live and its hysterical! They are "performing" on the Titanic as it sinks, and the camera work actually makes it look like they're really sinking! I searched for it on RU-vid but unfortunately I couldn't find it.
