'The Winner Takes It All' (ABBA) by Sing it Live 

Melissa has done a fabulous rendition of this ABBA classic, one of the best versions I've ever heard. The only thing missing, at least for me, is the pain that was in Agnetha's voice while singing about breaking up with her husband. That painful emotion is difficult to replicate. . .

Abba should be proud. This is amazing and as good as the original. Agnetha is smiling I'm sure.

This is just an exceptional performance! A moving song, sung to perfection.

The whole band is great as always. The level of vocal talent from video to video is just staggering.

Darren struck GOLD when he found Melissa and Chloe!

Wow! Amazing vocal performance. Bravo!

이 노래를 정말 사랑합니다^^ I really love this song!

Hello from Sweden. The Winner Takes It All music Benny Andersson Lyrics Björn Ulvaeus. Agneta and Björn had decided to divorce. Björn then wrote this lyric. He read it to Agneta. She was very touched by the lyric. She wanted to perform it as an ABBA song. She asked Benny to write a melody for the lyrics. When the song was performed live for the first time, Björn stood behind Agneta and played the guitar. The original with ABBA, Agneta sings a lyric that was written for her by her husband. They had a little daughter. Agneta performed the song from her heart. But all the traveling around the world took its toll and they went their separate ways as friends.

This is so much more than a tribute band.

Ganz große Gesangskunst. Ich bin begeistert😊

Great range and powerful vocal performance.

can we agree we push the thumbs-up button if we enjoyed it?

Just terrific!😍😍😍

Yeah Abba is back.

No gimmicks or trickery, just six exceptionally talented musicians, interacting and making great music. That's the way to do it. Awesome performance Sing It Live.

What a set of pipes! Strong and lovely...excellent control!

totally awesome perfromnce the lead vocalists that is not an easy song to sing and she was awesome ! Agnetha faltskog is the prettiewst women in the universe with a Golden voice

I love the weld torch singing, , just like Agneta....

I love ABBA but yes I will say it. This is better than the original. This lady can sing. Her diction and projection is flawlessly done. Chloe's backup just adds to it. A fan from the USA...

I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all (takes it all) The loser has to fall (has to fall) It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain) Why should I complain? (Why complain?) But tell me, does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide (will decide) The likes of me abide (me abide) Spectators of the show (of the show) Always staying low (staying low) The game is on again (on again) A lover or a friend (or a friend) A big thing or a small (big or small) The winner takes it all (takes it all) I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all So the winner takes it all And the loser has to fall Throw the dice, cold as ice Way down here, someone dear Takes it all, has to fall And it's plain, why complain?

Listening here alone with sound loud, it is clear u are great. Al the songs u cover....u do with flair and respect to original. From now on.... I Love u, and find myself being selfish to want more.

Great! Awesome vocal perfomance! Deep drums sound 👍

Best cover of this song

Бек вокал дуже гарно, і взагалі , весь колектив мені дуже подобається!😍😍😍

What a Heart warming song.❤

Melissa McCaig is simply a excellent singer.

It's almost an insult to call these folks a cover band. They are spot on perfection. This performance is flawless

Absolutely spectacular performance. Darren, you've a premier division team.

Outstanding.

Simply the Best ❤

Excellent 👌🏻 voice articulation was superb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 orcustration was spot on.

Chills! Just like when i heard this song the first time many years ago.

She nailed all the nuances of the vocals, and everyone else was spont on! Excellent job, all. ABBA would learn from this performance.

Wow!!! I like all singers and musicians. Great the bassline!

Old music. New recording. Sound good👍

This group never makes a mistake . They are always hitting out of the park . What incredible musicians and singers you have . This girl is marvellous. Sounds so much like ABBA . You always bring back so many memories!! Bravo !!

Melissa!!! You’re just amazing.

WOW.

Certain original tracks, this been one of them, tribute acts should leave well alone. Well Daren and team so pleased you took this track on. Been following for some years than think this is the best one yet. Amazing, well done!

pipes for days that was awesome

She says the winner takes it on. And only at the end she says the winner takes it all. Wow

PERFECT

Mel, your voice is everything !

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What performance!!!!

As a pretty much life long Abba fan, I can't deny that I had my reservations before I hit "play" on this one. I should have trusted in your track record, another outstanding cover!

And the Winners are the lucky people who are going to your 1st concert tonite have a blast

Very good Cover Band, Instruments all spot on.They almost entered the Territory of the Original Performers. Fantastic performance !!

Always a pleasure listening to real voices and instruments, and not computers.

Great version, so well sung. Greetings from London

masterpiece

Superb!

FANTASTIC!

I was young, I don't know, maybe 14 when this song came out. But through the stupefaction and innocence of that age, I still knew that this song meant the end of ABBA. At 57 I can say there's nothing wrong with taking the fall.

Just saw Mamma Mia on Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas. Nice performance Singit Live.

Magic

A great song sung by a great singer.

Listen to Damiens bass playing in the background, it's always spot on and in the pocket.

Had to come back again! WOW!

How did I ever miss this? This is not something you enter into lightly! A huge sing, kudos Melissa! The band is great as usual, the baking vox are so precise it's amazing. Great Job!

Credo che neanche gli ABBA dal vivo riuscirebbero a farla così bene....

Magnifique.

Magnificent performance of a magnificent song.

😢Wow beautiful song. Good guys good singit live always amazing.

I'm going to buy the Keyboard that they use, that Roland Fantom 07.Great sounds.

Melissa is simply outstanding on this one. She is able to express all the emotions that come out in this iconic song. I don’t think that ABBA could do better.

Juste wow!!!

Chookas for tonight’s concert, going to be a good night ❤

I have to say...before COVID hit the world, I was involved in a local theater production of MAMMA MIA. This song was a heartbreaker then and YOU ALL have brought back that memory in an AWESOME way!! "Thank You For The Music"

It doesn't get much better than this........

Great singer

Awesome !!!!

She has a great voice........ exactly the way it should be sung !

OMG, she gives that same effect . very consistent. This not one of my favorite songs but she just sang it very nicely.

"GREAT"

Wow what a voice wow

As with most Abba songs, the bass player has to be the MVP. He crushed it!

❤Magicians, that’s what you are!! How can you improve on perfection? ❤ Looking forward to tonight

Love ya ....♥

Wow!! Listening to band as such, way better than listening to the original musicians! It a change for sure! Well done!! Bravo 👌👏👏👌👌👏😊!!

Finally someone knows the real words! Thank you ❤

To sound so authentic to the original I imagine Melissa arriving to record this in a Volvo. 👏

Such a bright light!!

If ever there was a cover better than the original, this was it. Enjoyed watching and listening to this, simply brilliant.
