Sing It Live: BEHIND THE SOUND [Dancing Queen - ABBA]

[@daveflanagan4213]

Good to hear Chloe’s stance on what to wear and what to sing. I salute her. Unusual to hear performers actually verbalising these things in a despising age of traditional values.

[@Sam-ss2lo]

It's not a bluff, their vocals are the perfect combination of professionalism, respect, trust, talent, and chemistry.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

I've got a huge new love and respect for both Chloe and Nikki!!! Fabulous to see this kind of beauty and talent in this day and age not cowering to the "norm" of the business!!! FABULOUS!!! Thanks Crafty for doing this!!! GR8 vid!!!

[@johnnyholland8765]

I respect Chloe's reasoning for her choice of what she will sing and why. That is called "integrity" and it is yours alone and never let anyone question it. You ladies have it all together. Your both beautiful and talented and are consumate professionals in your singing. I am 65 now and when I was in high school I used to sing (believe it or not) and was pretty good but couldn't carry a tune in a bucket now. All my singing was in a group setting usually harmonies. For anyone who can and do it well it is a gift. These ladies have that gift. A forever fan from the USA...

[@valeriecrawford9860]

Where do I begin Crafty, Nikki, & Chloe ?. THIS was so real. SO Candid. What stellar examples you r to the up & coming girls. Standing up 4 Morals in a very 'immoral' World. You're bright. You're funny. You're Mom's. I absolutely found this a breath of fresh air. Crafty you're a riot with the little clips u toss in 📹 Chloe the ' HARMONY NAZI ' 😍 I have often thought of singing in pyjamas 😆 heehee. KEEP these Coming PLEASE ❣#LoveSIL

[@chaschampion777]

Fantastic! These two lovely ladies are quite the team. Nikki, your energy is so powerful but humble. I love that! Chloe, you are very bubbly and silly, but obviously, all business, too. Together, you're silky smooth! Crafty, much thanks. Your BTS efforts never go unappreciated. Oh, about Darren's mix, top notch dynamics... volume, frequency, balance, panning... all there. He's the consummate mix professional. Thanks always Crafty and Sing it Live. God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏

[@mickeygelerstein8083]

I would like you to do a video from the 1st moment you all get together to select a song, and the process until it is ready to be delivered to the audience. In other words, from moment zero to final. For example, how is a song selected?? In my opinion the right selection is critical and represents 50% of the success of the final video. And then the developement of the next phases of the process. It is so lovely to see Nikki and Chloe in a relaxed off-stage conversation.

[@MattyFitt]

Can't say no to Chloe in PJ's. Can't wait for that song!!! Darren better be prepared for the internet breaking! I'm here in my oodie in the morning, so nothing wrong with that. Lovely answers to your questions. Chloe, you're allowed to not be a major fan of any group or singer. You gave it your all. Great video as ever Crafty. Kudos from Matty x

[@jasonmcmillan9554]

Love your channel Crafty...💯

[@wholiddleolme476]

Chloe and Nikki always sound great together, like Nikki said; their harmonies complement each other. I have to say I'd love to hear them do Honey, Honey or SOS my two fav ABBA songs and I'm not ashamed to say so.

[@zavman109]

I love the “Jolene” they did together, super fun and super good. These are interesting behind the scenes, thanks.

[@tavonjohnston]

I have been a huge Nikki fan but hearing Chloe stand up for good morals make me a huge fan of her as well!

[@w9ran]

So cool to hear from the Dynamic Duo ladies! It's clear from just watching the videos that there's a real personal connection as well as two beautiful voices that blend beautifully. I became a fan of "Dancing Queen" after Gunhild Carling performed it with PostmodernJukebox - check it out sometime. Thanks for another great performance and to Crafty for another fun and informative listen behind the sound!

[@donnakowalski2622]

Love this behind the scenes. Nikki❤💜❤

[@rockywooton2614]

Darren did impeccable work on the tracks. Seamless. Like being transported to another time and space. Was I in Djurgarden or Malmo? Not sure, but it was definitely '79...and yet only this last evening.

[@clinthouston6678]

I suggest all of you do "Does Your Mother Know" by ABBA

[@JK-js2td]

Thatsa great one too...good call. My call is for S.O.S.

[@fungus4758]

@NilkiKosmiderHeuskes there aren't many people I know that know Nina Pretty Ballerina. That's one of the many ABBA songs I love 🤙 The 1st song I remember hearing from them is Dancing Queen and from there I ended up getting their albums and loved almost every one of their songs. Cheers

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Delightful interview, and EPIC video editing.

[@bedicou2003]

Thanks Crafty for another great BTS, I never missed one ! Funny how well Chloe did, since she confessed not liking the song ! A true pro, I guess... BTW Darren did very well with the mix (not a trivial task, so many cover bands previously failed) Abba-wise, the bar is indeed high... True perfectionists, they were a self-produced studio band (with brilliant sessions musos on bass & drums, check out Gunarsson / Watson / Brunkert ) with an equally gifted sound engineer (Michael Tretow)

[@producernerd]

True this was very difficult to produce within the usual Sing It Live boundaries. Usually I want to take the obvious sonic branding from the original and add my usual 'muscle' (as Con called it 😅). I mix to the video so the visual performance is reflected in what people hear. Abba is NOT easy but this crew is truly amazing and we all have the best time recording together👊🏼

[@ronnovak777]

Great job Crafty! Fun watching Behind the scenes. You make work look like fun. Watching from Orlando Florida.

[@paulguthrie4857]

That was funny!! Thanks Crafty & Ladies!!

[@joshuaburba1048]

I need to see more of Nikki. She is beauty personified. Wow!

[@producernerd]

You want more Nikstar? She has a massive playlist in Sing It Live kzbin.info/aero/PLLUNPLnEV3tdP7GbxXmV_xgVCT0IpgL6W&si=65G0AdCqoFpJYqx2 plus her own channel www.youtube.com/@NikkiKosmiderHeuskes

[@joshuaburba1048]

@@producernerd I know, I've watched every cover she has done for Sing It Live, don't worry. I just meant that she is so sexy that I want to see her more, as in watch her be interviewed and listen to her talk more. Thank you Darren. I do appreciate your response.

[@TorontoBlueJaysFan99]

Love these behind the scenes as we get to see how song produced …the questions to Chloe and Nikki really give us a feel of who they are beyond their fabulous performances! …it was cool also this behind the scenes so timely with music Video just released 👍👍…love Sing it Live!

[@BrianS5588]

My favourite song that references pyjamas is Afternoons and Coffeespoons by Crash Test Dummies. A bit dark for some, but yet also music that "owns" the words, if that makes sense.

[@billrimmer5596]

Thank u for this!!

[@andyashcroft1921]

Brilliant 👍

[@ZblockWoW]

I am in my pajamas. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@user-we1ik1su8m]

У ABBA множество хитов и каждый особенно хорош,но SOS и Summer Night City на мой взгляд самые яркие! Обожаю улыбающихся,жизнерадостных людей! Никки,Хлое спасибо за музыку!

[@JK-js2td]

I wholeheartedly agree....S.O.S is a must cover song with Abba...thats absolutely their best song in spite of Dancing Queen being their biggest song. Summer Night City is great but i would rather see Chiquita or Fernando.

[@MrBeach27]

Suggestion for the pyjama party Nights in white satin

[@JK-js2td]

I like that suggestion!!!!

[@acrwalter]

You guys are awesome ❤

[@NickA-xd5bw]

Great open and honest answers. Also nice to hear the guys jamming a bit of Kashmir!

[@alexsanderbidoia4203]

La calidad y perfección del sonido es sensacional, Sing It Live. Los brasileños nos encanta. Felicitaciones.

[@jeffcoakley5675]

You both rock

[@markhuckercelticcrossbows7887]

great guitar work dude, love watching you play daz :)

[@Sam-ss2lo]

Pajamas would work for a Christmas song.

[@Sam-ss2lo]

This was great. But I was also hoping for some info on the technology of the track recordings. Plugins used etc. I was most surprised at how much the ladies sounded like ABBA and wondered if it was natural, if they attempted an impersonation, if technology was involved, or a combo of some or all of the above.

[@matthiashaller1953]

Nikki ❤❤❤

[@RickHardcore]

really good!!

[@stevebean1543]

11:08 Kashmir

[@seabreeze3906]

Small records, singles, were called 45’s. Big records, album size, were 33’s.

[@OttoCharles49]

👍👍

[@kevincain6942]

Very strange Chloe hates ABBA but,,,, ! Those two are beautiful together ❤

[@ChloeCastledine]

haha 'hate' is a strong word. I would say they're not my favourite. That is a more accurate statement.

[@Bet-vx3fg]

more abba songs

[@daveflanagan4213]

Agree with Chloe. So many other better Abba songs. Dancing Queen has been flogged to death.

[@producernerd]

Only because it was a massive hit (and Sing It Live is still in the process of building their audience).

[@namrednop]

Chloe ... no way your were 16 yrs old when Dancing Queen came out in August 1976'. That would put you at 63 or 64 yrs old, depending on when your B-Day is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ChloeCastledine]

Haha… I wasn’t born when it first came out. I was 16 when I first heard the song. 😂

[@namrednop]

@@ChloeCastledine - Oh ... Ha ha ha ... My Bad! I thought you looked awfully good for an 63-64 year old woman. Hee hee hee 😛😛😛

[@toddbelanger1923]

​@@ChloeCastledineHi Chloe, just had to tell you...We all love you in America...YAHOOOO CHEERS FOREVER little Dudette 😊..your awesome on so many levels, no joke 😊

[@JK-js2td]

​@@ChloeCastledineheya Chloe...just wanted you to hear it again how extremely talented u are....and i loved your singing a song i grew up with. I was 8 years old when this song came out and I loved it instantly. You and your band did an outstanding job. I cant wait to see and hear more of you Chloe...hope this finds you with a smile! Good day!

[@lezbriddon]

wow, shocked (Chole) at the nearly anti abba replies, if it was a quiz show i would put my bet on you as a teenager singing all their songs in front of the bathroom mirror with a hairbrush, but its music so its very subjective to the individual, least we both love feel for you! q8: fernando ... less poppy and i'm a sucker for love songs... Congrats to you all.

[@hartholz7015]

Crafty, you're well, playing the Strat' Jeff Beck had a Tele', that he played rarely, and I hate this instrument
