ABBA - SOS REACTION

[@caroltz8220]

James, you are just so adorable. You have such a sincere enthusiasm and love that radiates from you. You are a joy to watch. I love that you are authentic and are just freely yourself. Your videos are wonderful.

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up with all the fabulous music from the 60's - 80's. ABBA was one of my favorites. They had lots of hits & I owned many of their albums. I can't think of a bad song by them. Some of their best are "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme", "Thank You For The Music", "Does Your Mother Know?", "Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "The Name Of The Game", "Super Trouper", "I Have A Dream", "Voulez-Vous", "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Take A Chance On Me", "Mamma Mia", "Knowing Me, Knowing You" etc. Nice to see that they are back together again recording after all these years.

60's-80's was an amazing time for experiencing Great Music!!

[@MrVvulf]

I grew up in the same era. Amazing music. The girls got most of the adoration since the cameras were always on them...but Benny Andersson was a genius songwriter and composer.

[@Beboham]

It's great that you're going back to Abba. Did you hear " Lay all your love on me " back then? The song is phenomenal.

[@RoryVanucchi]

I liked ABBA.. fun band in the 70s. Great song. Dancing Queen was big

[@julieford8788]

ABBA! Love this group. They were so big during the 70’s. 💘💘💘💘

[@ed.z.]

The chills came also came me in Texas despite the 100 degree temperature. AABA is stone cold beautiful music every darn time.

[@eduardooscar309]

I'm so glad to see you return to react ABBA, and with my favorite ABBA song "S.O.S." has a story It was one of Their first recordings after the greatest success of "Waterloo" in Eurovisión, just four months later, in August 1974 But it waited almost a year for its release, in June 1975 at Sweden, September 1975 at UK and US "Waterloo" needed another theme to confirm the trend and it was not an isolated success or a stroke of luck ABBA's next three elections failed to stand out: "Ring Ring", "So long", "I do I do I do I do I do" Until finally "S.O.S." have your chance to be a single, and broke the drought, reaching #6 in the U.K. and #15 in the U.S. being Their second hit in both countries at the same time, and six #1 and more Top 10 in several countries of all continents and after these, ABBA had 18 Top 10 consecutives in UK between 1975/1982: Mamma Mía, Fernando, Dancing Queen, Take a chance con me, Chiquitita, etc "S.O.S." in less than 200 seconds is a gem, a fantastic masterpiece! The transitions from the dramatic opening (a dingy piano and a cracking Agnetha voice) to a powerful rock beat with catchy pop chorus in the middle are brilliant. ABBA marked an era in many ways One was the musical leadership of its beautiful and lofty female vocalists as the center of attention Another was the use of contrasts, such as sad lyrics with catchy melodies and harmonies And their recording tecnique "wall of sound" gives ABBA more powerfull ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, left an unforgettable mark on several generations It is good music that lasts and stays alive ABBA recording between 1972/1982 have a wonderful series of 20 worldwide hits and after 35 years ABBA return to studio in 2017 and recording initialy two new songs and finally a full new album Voyage released in last November 2021 that is a worldwide success Thank you very much for your honesty and sensitive in your reaction I hope to see you in another video to ABBA My best regards to You from Buenos Aires, Argentina South América

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

ABBA "The Winner Takes it All" original video. 💜

[@pamelascott5702]

That's my favorite by them.

[@VadersRage]

Those harmonies still give me chills, too. And sorry, man.....she's MY crush😁!

[@patriciabarkley735]

Benny was and still is my crush. I love him. He was so hot. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🌹❤️

[@VadersRage]

@@patriciabarkley735 My wife was an Air Force Brat and grew up in Italy. She distinctly remembers when ABBA won whatever international singing competition they were in because they were the only band that sang in English. It catapulted them to stardom.

[@rosethorn001]

One of favorites from Abba, grew up listening to this kind of music. Every once I bing on Abba all day 💖💖

[@christianoazzuro6711]

'Try one of their 2021 comeback/goodbeye releases,a song called 'DON'T SHUT ME DOWN".You'll see how gorgeous they still sound.A new little pop masterpiece,thAt made many of us cry a river first time we heard it.Lyrics are also dope!Also there a thrilling LIVE version of SOS edited by Abba Videos channel dualed with a small part with 'I've been waiting for you' from their 1977 tour.Performance is greatly emotionl and the crowd down there just hysteric.

[@80sOGRE]

Always my fav ABBA song. it's both tender yet rock ballsy, in as much as ABBA could muster. Fantastic example of what a pop song should be, hook after hook.

[@patrickdoolan9527]

I love Agnetha's mono. She is so convincing.

[@helenpeterson]

You answered my prayers, still so many for you to enjoy. There are also some great tv performances of this that you would LOVE.

[@JonathanIngbretson002]

ABBA equals CHILLS

[@shannonbennett987]

As someone who has loved music as long as I can remember, few things are more enjoyable in my older age than watching young people's music appreciation. It gives me hope for the future of music. Very good reaction, sir. Thank you.

[@marciv2964]

Awesomeness. My first song I recorded off the radio on my new tape recorder that I got for Christmas (a long time ago 😉)

[@ginalashley1265]

Finally! Back on the Abba train! There are so many more songs to explore! My favorite band since I was 3 years old in 1976. You should also react to the beautiful Olivia Newton John, also one of my favorite singers.

[@AdstarAPAD]

The piano work in this song is probably the highest quality i have heard.. All the other instruments give good support to the central role of the piano..

[@stevehawkins1744]

❤❤❤ABBA!!!

[@alexioverdo5225]

JBETHAL TV has done a great number of Abba reactions the last couple of years(long before the VOYAGE comeback)and seems he really loves them.Time for some live stuff now from their '77/'79 tour!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

One of my fave ABBA songs! ♥ BTW - they do have official lyric videos now

[@OlleStahlberg]

My favorite when it came out here in Sweden. I was 8. ✨👍🏼✨ Another cool song is ”Hey, hey Helen”. Same album. ✨🇸🇪✨

[@timetravellingone]

You've still got many more Bee Gees songs to discover "Love you inside out" "One" "You win again" "Bodyguard" "Alone" "Paying the price of love"

[@JonathanIngbretson002]

ABBA is the one

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

What an amazing song! John Lennon (my favourite Beatle) was right, this song is so deep and powerful. It has everything! Love it.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

No matter if critics slagged them off at the time,some rock musicians really apreciated them.So did Pete Toweshent of The Who,Ray Davies from The Kinks and John Grand from The CZARS who have also made some loving statements on this song.Also John Frusciente from Red hot chilly peppers and Manferds mann earth band have performed this song live while being on tour.

[@loramacrae-lopes6293]

You are doing some really great songs lately JB! Love this song. Check out “Fernando”. One of their best.

[@Lilly8Listens]

He did it ages ago.

[@tbmike23]

Pete Townsend of The Who thought this was the ultimate pop song. He raved about it.

[@wawa2]

I remember your ABBA reactions and thought you really enjoyed them so it is good to see you again!!

[@goosefarm3602]

great reaction

[@gpreactions3194]

Trying to remember what ABBA songs you've done. So my suggestions might be done. X Voulez vous Angel Eyes Summer night city

[@stevemariman8769]

I'm so glad you're hearing this one, and the original audio too. Beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Pete Townsend of the Who (Won't Get Fooled Again, Tommy) said hearing this song "transported" him. The "Moog" (electronic keyboard synthesizer) sounds in this song are incredible, eh?

[@DanShouse0607]

I'm first! GOD BLESS YOU J.B.!

[@itsme_mandyp]

I was there in 2020 when you first found Abba..some of your best reactions

[@helenpeterson]

It was 3 years ago when he first did Waterloo, he does the best ABBA reactions.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Agree that's true.

[@neldablanco1663]

Great group!!! Great Reaction!! Thank you!

[@dennisswainston411]

Pete Townshend of The Who has described 'S.O.S.' by ABBA as the "greatest pop song ever written".

[@gordonbezanson4710]

Ill tell what i find strange. Is that in the 70s 80s i wouldn't give music from 50 years before a chance in hell. And here we are.

[@onsesejoo2605]

Their best song, hands down. All, please check the spoof done by Edelweiss - Bring Me Edelweiss. "So when you really love me Darling, bring me Edelweiss....." The video by itself is hysterical spoof on traveling industry.

[@BigPete44]

James! 👊

[@pamelascott5702]

ABBA... LOVE ALL THEIR MUSIC. If you enjoy them, you should watch "Mamma Mia", the movie/musical. It is so good.

[@rpieterson2858]

Just like you we all love Agnetha, have you seen her performance of Maria Magdalena. Take a look at the music video upload from Cris tian . Dani.. Agnetha Faltskog " I Dont Know How To Love Him Jesus Christ Superstar".

[@mimi31268]

💝💝💝

[@bpfromowc]

That’s it James. Get back to the classics. R.E.M. next please. “Man On The Moon” . Thanks 🙏🏻

[@TuckHoeWong]

Do you know that this yellow orgolden hair girl later got married three times, second married into sweden loyal family,third husband was from uk business nan both die than all this year they go reunion with other Abba member.

[@JonathanIngbretson002]

what's it called when you're popular forever?

[@gotrhythm1]

I have on female authority that if this happened to you, there was another dude involved. They said that women are like monkeys, they don't let go of one branch until they have another branch firmly in hand!

[@williammcclelland6789]

Could you please react to the song Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young. It is from the soundtrack of the movie Streets Of Fire.

[@jesdijk6571]

Am i the best friend?
