Abba - Take A Chance On Me (Official Video) REACTION/REVIEW

[@butchbrewer4923]

Most of the hardest mofos in the 1970s had a hidden Abba record collection.

[@MsLuvmusic81]

they are a guilty pleasure lol

[@nicocabanit5440]

Butch Brewer , that's true, im from the Philippines.

[@Nebulous_Prowler]

So true! Even Lemmy from Motorhead loved ABBA...may he rest in peace.

[@lamusiclover2264]

ABBA and Carpenters. Two that always had to be kept a secret amount metalheads and rockers. Silly because they are both amazing.

[@dianahohimer1107]

Haa. So true!

[@sabrinasiler1569]

I just adore your 😁 when you're truly enjoying yourself 😁

You have some great taste in music. The carpenters and Abba, nice to see a young lad appreciating all music genres. Bless ya.

[@petepower4217]

They were a world wide phenomenon. People of all ages, we're talkin' from real little kids to older folks would go to their shows. These two women's voices blended so well together and they could lay it down live. True talent. One of the biggest world wide bands of all time

[@juttapopp1869]

They ARE amazing! Glad you found enjoyment in them... I know plenty of metalheads Who secretly listened to them, top, lol

[@scarlettjoy6539]

ABBA was a constant vinyl at my Ma's best friend's house. I'd be in the front room grooving around with my child self and they'd be in the back playing Yahtzee with the Budweiser and Marlboros. We were all having fun. I really appreciate your sincerity and openness. Keep making this pretty hard world better.

[@Thedesertguy75]

what a time to be ALIVE....the music had so much more SOUL.....what happened??? this is beautiful in every way.... the natural beauty of people in the day

[@miamidolphinsfan]

ABBA is one of the great superstar groups of the 1970s and early 80s

[@nitab1971]

Your family is so on target with their recommendations!

I just love the way your face lights up when you watching these great artist's..

[@tanyaboerhave7364]

Been a lifelong, unapologetic ABBA fan (I'm 54) If you want more suggestions- my favorite is The Name of the Game. Some serious, some fun, a great video. Thanks for the reactions.

[@clueless1791]

You are spoiling us tonight JB!! Love Abba. Great reactions and reviews. I've said it before, the joy you find in experiencing music is wonderful to behold. My favourite Abba track is Fernando. Even if you don't get the chance to react/review it , at least try and listen to it in your free time if you can. It's a great song. Keep up the good work JB and may your channel continue to grow in the way you want it to :)

[@peterterry9594]

I forgot about that one.

[@karolyn8644]

Fernando is my favorite, too.

[@drakawinkle584]

My 1st ABBA song was Fernando. I still remember clearly that moment. Best Swedish important since the pocket knife.

[@nisse7399]

[@eleven-hopper]

Please react to Fernando and SOS. Both are by Abba and the songs are amazing

[@ADayinMyLife]

When I was younger in the mid to late eighties I didn't like Fernando but now it's one of my favorites.

[@salmonkill7]

I GREW UP IN THE 70s and your right everyone loved to hate on ABBA but truthfully MOST PEOPLE LOVED THE MUSIC, THEY JUST DIDN'T THINK IT WAS COOL TO SAY YOU LIKED ABBA!! ABBA was a wonderful Swedish group!!

[@danlabok7117]

It's so catchy of a song that it is IMPOSSIBLE not to sing along!

[@ysaacwichmann8675]

And this ABBA group like singing in various language , swedish , english , spanish and deutsche . Very beautiful angelic voices , wonderful music and songs ever .

[@ledzepandhabs]

In the 70's I was a long haired rocker kid, rock and heavy metal, ABBA was a chick band to be made fun of, fast forward 35 years later I explored ABBA and was shocked at how many songs I remembered and how great this band is, as we get older scenes and styles can be crossed without fear of getting your teeth knocked out LOL. Then I find out that a large proportion of my rock and metal gods are also big fans of ABBA. I am in a good plce now hehehe.

[@julieford8788]

Since you’re on the ABBA train you gotta out Fernando , & Waterloo in the list. All their songs are great! Welcome to the 70’s. 💋💕

[@FourJaysFour]

Julie Ford Fernando!! I haven't thought of that in years!

[@nathankrush3289]

Love ABBA. You're awesome for loving them, too!!!

[@McFlySwatter]

Your channel is going to skyrocket because you are following your heart and it shows in your reactions. The best songwriters and artists in the world will tell you ABBA is amazing. Never let negative people affect what you want to listen to.

[@lisablackburn7380]

Thank you for listening to your auntie!! Smart lady!!

[@Sheltieshangrila]

My husband and I had almost all ABBA music played at our wedding reception back in 1997. It was awesome, with a lot of dancing. :) (Edit to add): I remember the first time I heard this song. I was around 12, and was sitting in the backseat of our family's green Thunderbird, coming back from fishing with my dad and his best friend. We were just coming down the road to our house. As soon as I heard it, I was mesmerized and asked my dad to turn the volume up. Then I made dad and Major Root stay in the car until the song finished. I was hooked on ABBA at that point, and received my very first ABBA record from mom and dad that following Christmas. I am now 48 and still have that record sitting in the cabinet of our family room. :)

[@trishab4327]

PS: I second "SOS" by ABBA, it is my most favorite song by them.

[@halcyon289]

SOS is like Prog Pop

[@KitKat-wt6ed]

Yep, I will third it. One of my faves.

[@ricardocima]

Sex Pistols's Glenn Matlock was a huge fan of this song. "Submission" is somehow based on it.

[@the1stJZ]

THAT smile crossing your face is what ABBA does to people listening to their music. Put you to the test. How did the group's name come about? 1st song I heard S.O.S, in the way back 1975 and I was hooked. Biggest surprise? The guys vocals are very good. Fave album (not greatest hits) Voulez Vous.

[@singlepringle7485]

Such a good feeling to see you smile like that! Thanks James!

[@jaywillingham4085]

Oooh ooh ooh, and if you want tears in your eyes, check out Abba - The winner takes it all.

[@pinkystinkeye5120]

The joy on your face is priceless! That’s how I feel

[@Chalkster1]

They were 👌..... nobody can replicate their music just abba that’s how good they were .... luv your channel your such a sweet guy 👍

[@carinaejag]

As a swede and ABBA fan since childhood I recommend ABBA- When all is said and done.

[@danbike9]

ABBA are one heck of a group. Very high level of musicality, musicianship and professionalism. Their entire catalogue is quality.

[@pamelascott5702]

Dancing Queen by ABBA, to me, is the absolute best

[@tomf3150]

Super trooper for me.

[@markm4033]

Yeah ABBA is a great band and right up there with the legends. Keep rockin' bro!

[@mimit4ever]

Love it. Try "Dancing Queen"

[@mimit4ever]

According to my phone, I watched it🙃

[@jameslong1644]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@Muckylittleme]

A big part of the charm was the lack of corporate polish on their act, it was totally authentic and endearing.

[@waynebarber0665]

Another great ABBA song! Don't pay attention to the IDIOTS! Keep on doing what you are doing!

[@bpfromowc]

You are on the correct path brother. The classics are the way to go, modern music is generally poor. Also, there are sooo much amazing songs and artists still to discover. What you have already discovered is only the tip of the iceberg.

[@flaviodelladioband127]

Real musicians...Genius artists

[@stefanomatic]

I grew up on ABBA. Really like the genuine joy you seem to have listening to their music, it makes me re-appreciate the magic of their sound. Their music from around this period could be so joyful, really wonderful! They were really diverse though, depending on which period you listen from. Their last album ‘The Visitors’ was quite a departure (and a few non albums tracks after that) but absolutely stunning in a different way. The Day Before You Came is one of my favourites, pure melancholy but so fantastic! I encourage you to source everything they did, including the unreleased demos. Theirs hardly a blotch on their repertoire!

[@dragorocky]

This shit go so hard. Great harmonies. Great synthesizers. Straight dope!

[@frazergreen6786]

Please react to ''Thank you for the music''

[@badlongon525]

Whoohoo!! ABBA is a phenomenal band. There's nothing like ABBA and ever will be.

[@SakuraShirakawa]

Chiquitita gets far too little attention, please react to it.

[@raffaeledivora9517]

@Cobb Knobbler Indeed, ora awesome... but Sinead O'Connor made the best cover of that song I ever heard, sometimes I even like it more than the original (I know, it seems very sacrilegious to me too, but trust me)

[@ksmith9715]

"The Way Old Friends Do" by ABBA.

[@3SeveredHeads]

I love most of their songs - think they actually did a song called “Thankyou for the music” 🤓 Great reaction... can see ur genuine and ur definitely down that rabbit hole haha 😂

[@margaretsmith756]

Please don't ever listen to others telling you what you should do with your channel -- you follow your heart and spirit, my friend. It's called following your BLISS.... and it is how you stay happy in life. You seem like such a happy and joyous person with a true love for what you are experiencing and a love for sharing that experience -- not just trying to get the most subscriptions by saying what you think people want to hear, and that (and what you choose to react to) makes you unique and a joy to watch... which will continue to bring you subscribers; or, at least the subscribers that I think you will always enjoy interacting with. You will know if and when it's time to move on to something different. :)

[@Simon-lu4gz]

This is pure gold!

[@ABBADiego]

I have various KZbin accounts. Came across you using another but have logged in as ABBADiego, so you now have an admirer. I absolutely love your passion for the group I grew up with. I "met" them on various occasions, they were superstars but never went around as primadonnas, always humble and great with their fans. There is an ABBA song for every human emotion. You are a great guy, I love this group, always have, always will and love that you are moved by their genius music.

[@corvus1374]

There are two movies, Muriel's Wedding and Mamma Mia! (and Mamma Mia! 2) where all of the music is ABBA songs.

[@Codex7777]

My favourite Abba songs: The Day Before You Came, The Winner Takes It All, The Visitors. A lot of their later music is amazing! :)

[@MsLuvmusic81]

Love Abba, they are like a guilty pleasure because you don't hear a lot of people admit they like them. But I feel like they got even bigger after the 80s especially with the movies Muriel's Wedding and Mama Mia

[@dianaprobst3157]

This has always been one of my favorite songs by ABBA. The video is still cute & charming after all these years.

[@trishab4327]

Awesome! " I dont care what anyone says..." What ever anyone has to say about ABBA, one thing for sure is that their music was just so FUN and mostly cheerful. My first memory of this song is in the early 80's my tiny baby cousin standing in front of the TV in just a diaper, dancing to this music. She is 39 this year lol.

[@nicholashilton2514]

‘The Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel!!!!

Hello everybody from Russia.Moscow. My favorite song "One of us" and many many others. ABBA my love .

Yes another GREAT ABBA song..my 2nd favorite or maybe tied for #1 with Lay All Your Love On Me....you can't be down and here this song...it's so uplifting and Frida is really getting down dancing.

The Legends that are ABBA have left an indelible mark in music history. They were and still are giants of pop music. Often copied but never equalled. To think there are new songs from them to be released next year is simply amazing. From the few people who have heard them, they are as good as anything they've written before.

[@djskdjsk28]

Your auntie was right, ABBA is legendary!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@davidmason2810]

Talking about ABBA's popularity this is taken from Wikipedia: With sales of 5.5 million copies, Gold: Greatest Hits is the second-highest selling album of all time in the United Kingdom, after Queen's Greatest Hits (1981, 6.1 million units).[4] In August, 2019, Gold: Greatest Hits became the longest-running top 100 album of all time, spending 900 weeks on the UK Albums Chart. The album spent 62 (non-consecutive) weeks in the top 10 and topped the British chart seven times, most recently for two weeks in 2008 following release of the motion picture Mamma Mia!.[5] The Beatles' Sgt Pepper album is the third highest selling album of all time in the UK and they are from the UK.

It is really special to see a young man like yourself appreciate music like ABBA. We took this for granted when they first emerged because there was an abundance of talent back in the seventies. As time goes by I realise that it was a privilege to hear this kind of music first hand. Great post!!

[@billywilson3989]

I have a similar response when I Pavarotti sing Mess in Dorma. I love this piece. Tears stain my face as I write this post. Even when I hum it something happens to me. It touches my soul and soars to the Heavens. I am a person of colour who did not have a whole lot of experience with classical music early in my life, yet I appreciate it now so very much. I can definitely relate.

[@popepenka8334]

Many very big artists cite ABBA as a large influence on their music. ABBA is brilliant. Watch a doco or two on their music and you’ll appreciate even more how good they really were. Benny & Bjorn were genius song-writers, and Agnetha and Frida were the voices - perfectly attuned to each other. A very well oiled intuitive music machine.

[@toddburton6570]

I love your reactions! I LOVE younger people appreciating older music! Because current music is a huge step down from that era.

[@exploringrvdude7817]

I've loved ABBA forever. Some of their best music is from their last album, The Visitors. But the two guys from the group, the writing duo. Went onto make the music Chess and a lot of very good music post-ABBA.
