ABBA Angeleyes Reaction

ABBA Angeleyes Reaction
1. Love the rhythm section. They have some nice syncopation and do good at keeping you off balance at times.
2. I feel like this reminds me of dancing queen. It sounds like they could have added a lot more flash and flamboyance to this which would have made this song much better....but they didn't.
3. LYRICS WERE BOMB.

JAYBRIEL, the song is ok, but to one who is in a process of knowing Abba work and its unique Style it' s not a great choice. It's a filler

[@plerpplerp5599]

This is an underrated masterpiece from start to finish. The angelic harmonies create the "wall of sound" that Benny and Björn wanted to produce. The string arrangement and chello just send me into orbit. I love it.

[@danfrost3043]

Underrated by who? Top 3 hit in The UK, featured on one of their biggest selling albums worldwide.

One of my favourite ABBA songs, with a verse melody as gorgeous as the chorus, but with the chorus using multi-layered harmonies whilst the verse is them (including Bjorn) singing the same melody line in unison. Love it! Please react to As Good As New and If it Wasn't for the Nights. Thank you 😁

[@starry2006]

Don't forget the voices, they just sound so powerful and beautiful together and I think they wanted to showcase that here. Other songs have more keyboard/synth but giving the music more space is ok too. At the start you seem a bit restless but when the energy kicks in it's easy to like.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

starry2006 ya their group makeup is diff than most so their unison sounds better in a lot of cases.

[@josue-joshuacordova3847]

I enjoy this song so much!!! please keep reacting to ABBA they have so much good stuff. React to Super Trouper, The Winner Takes it All, SOS, Lay all your love on me, The Day Before you Came

One of the best 'unknowns', or lesser knowns. The chorus is so harmonized, it hurts. And who cares what America thinks. LOL!

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

really who cares what anyone else thinks at all. I just spent 30 minutes tonight listening to the "Can Can" with my daughter.

Awesome, thanks for your review of this song! Try 'That's Me' next!

Your comment got a lot of likes. I'm going to trust you on this one. I expect it to be super duper good.

[@uteorgahs815]

Soooo Beutiful 👌👌👌‼️

[@duroboom5906]

I suggest; “As good as new” The intro is quite something... starts of as Modern Mozart then continues with a groovy baseline

[@eirik3938]

Really disco. I love that song!

[@anthonyrogers4137]

A sort-of 'briefer' comment from me (for once 😉😆 ...lol!). • Yes, you pronounced 'Voulez-Vous' correctly 😃✨👍 ...and it means "do you want?" • This song may seem 'less flashy', as they decided to leave it as is (so from there, it would have usually been left to grow mould in the 'ABBA Vaults' [😉😆], but sometimes such songs would end up originally only appearing as b-side to a single [as some of the songs that ABBA have released since the 1990s that were left in the 'vaults' are actually very good too). • Frequently, A, B, B and A seemed to choose correctly, as to what would be an a-side, a b-side, and/or appear on their original studio-albums (it was like they won the lottery from what they chose - both for themselves *and* fans, as they did actually seem to choose well, much more often than not). Nevertheless, some fans argue otherwise on some songs, while Benny & Björn have sometimes also wondered why they've released some of their songs too (for example, there's a song from their 1974 studio-album 'Waterloo', called 'King Kong Song', and they both actually hate it. I love it [not just because I love *all* of ABBA's songs ...lol, albeit to differing degrees, but I also love it because it's a good rock tune], and Agnetha & Frida's beltiing out of the song in rock-style is fantastic. I've tended to think the reason why B&B "hate" that song could be because of the lyrics: as they may feel embarrassed about them; but then, back in the late-1960s/mid-1970s, there were other songs around that time that had comedic and 'serious' animal themes, for example: 'I Am The Walrus' - The Beatles; 'Eagle Rock' - Daddy Cool; 'Crockodile Rock' - Elton John; 'The Funky Gibbon' - The Goodies; 'Tiger' and 'Eagle' - ABBA. • Listen to the music, production and voices in 'King Kong Song', rather than focussing on the lyrics, and I think you may like it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baKyY5h7iMh5j7c Cheers from Australia 👋😃🐨🦘🦜

[@Lexy-O]

But those amazing vocals by Agnetha are next level! Love the production too

[@johnr8095]

actulaly a lot of this sounds like Frida.

[@anthonysmith8800]

The vocals are by both girls. They're singing an octave apart but they're both there. No lead vocals here

[@jamesleogue9564]

It was 1979 not 1978😏 and it was released as a double A side along with the single Voulez-Vous 💞both taken from their Album "Voulez-Vous" 💥 💖🇬🇧😷

[@Pulsar77]

A really good song, and quite complex: there are several melodic and rhythmic changes throughout the song. If you're looking for something flashier, there's a lot to choose from on the rest of the Voulez-Vous album: the title track, Lovers (Live A Little Longer), Lovelight, Does Your Mother Know, As Good As New,... Voulez-Vous was the peak of their disco period.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

I think for this one the lyrics are absolutely gold and if you're a woman who's had a guy like this in your life it must super duper relate. If they replaced all the lyrics with a girl with angeleyes I'd relate a ton more.

[@nickchristoforou7850]

The best song on Voulez-Vous is "If It Wasn't For The Nights".

[@bernardstrilli9098]

Look into the angeleyes of Agnetha and you will pay the price. Love this song so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jodykendrick1634]

This song got over 160K videos on TikTok, called "ANGEL EYES DUET"

[@luislugocruz2381]

Gotta remember, on the Studio version, it's just Benny, Bjorn, and Straus (drummer) providing the music, and the result is astounding! There was some embellishment done to the voices on Studio Versions that actually made them sound like a larger choir, and for the time, the arrangements were way ahead of its time.

[@eduardooscar309]

Angeleyes" is a good disco-style song, within the disco-style album "Voulez Vous" (with the exception of the ballads "Chiquitita" and "I have a dream") that ABBA recorded following the influences of disco music in North America with Bee Gees succes It was together, with "Voulez Vous" as double A-side, the third single from said album, it reached # 3 in UK In this album I prefer other songs of that style, such as "As good as new" and "If it wasn't for the nights"

[@danfrost3043]

This was on their Voulez Vous album which was one of their biggest selling albums. It featured some of their finest vocal performances such as Chiquitita. This song made UK No 3

[@geordieboy8945]

Each to his/her own. I don't think it needs extra flash at all. Maybe a slightly crisper sound [ if that makes sense!].

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

ya to each his/her own. I personally love flash and flamboyance but I totally get they can't all be like that. And they SHOULD NOT be all like that.

[@djpaul146]

Great video reaction I've got a different version of this song it's a dance mix version

[@The_Jupiter2_Mission]

Angel Eyes was designated as an album track and not ever really a single. It only became so when I have A Dream was released. Then it is a matter whether in fact it was arguably the B side of the single. It a very catchy number but as you say it doesn't have the flashiness of Dancing Queen.

[@geordieboy8945]

I remember Angeleyes being a double A side with Voulez Vous. Brian Ferry had a single out at the same time with the title Angel eyes.

[@starry2006]

It got to No3 in the UK in 1979 and was much played then. Voulez-Vous on the other side of the single doesn't seem to have been as popular and I don't think it's as good.

[@abbagus1]

They tried always different Ruth ms , arrangements , vocalists , so be sure this is the best they could do with that specific song. ONE EXAMPLE of all the possibilities they tried on every song is “FRIM A TWINKLING STAR TO A PASSING ANGEL” Where you can appreciate all the changes made to a song until the final result

[@bdm1000]

I prefer it to be not as flashy. If more of their songs were like Dancing Queen I don't think I'd like any of them as much as I like DQ now (though I purposely don't listen to it that much for a similar reason). I think they kept Angeleyes tasteful, but I hear what you're saying.

[@nealwhaley63]

I think there’s a good reason why this song remained strictly “on album”: it would be hell to perform live. Still a great song. Play it with a bit of echo in your headphones and take it to the next level.

The Carpenters' version is one of the greatest versions of the song. The greatest in fact. Sadly, it was never released as a single. Only came out in 2000 when Richard Carpenter released the outtake album As Time Goes By.

They're a necessary thing though.

[@dhekelia133]

I completely disagree. It’s a simply written song, but the arrangement is just as good as any ABBA composition. It is by no means a filler, though I do agree, there are filler ABBA songs elsewhere. This was released as a double “A” side single with Voulez Vous in the UK, but being in a disco period, wasn’t the chosen track played on radio.

I respect you for being brave enough to display your bad taste in a public forum.

Such a great example of how Frida and Agnetha harmonize.
