FIRST TIME HEARING ABBA - When Al Is Said And Done REACTION

[@sudiptakiran]

ABBA will forever remain one of the greatest pop group ever!!

[@sharifuddinsalleh7119]

When All Is Said and Done is the breakup song of Frida and Benny while The Winner Takes It All is about the earlier breakup of Agnetha and Bjorn. Enjoy 😍❤

Amber, you can play ABBA anytime you want to, and I won't mind a bit! If you want a happy fun song as a palate cleanser, try "Ring Ring." The costumes in the video alone will absolutely entertain you. And you still have to do a couple of their more disco type classics, "Voulez Vous" and "On and On and On." But you can't go wrong with them. Happy, sad, disco or accoustic, I'll practically break a finger clicking on your ABBA reactions every single time.

[@kwaobenti]

Another fun one and equally catchy is "Honey Honey".

[@christianoazzuro6711]

'Voulez Vous",what a vibrant disco-rock anthem.Such tight perfect vocals no one could craft them better than them.Certainly Abba were never 'monochromatic".Same group who did 'Ring Ring",'Honey Honey" and 'Mamma Mia" also did the majestic prog rock 'Eagle" the sophisticated 'Move On' , the hard glam 'Watch Out",the adventurous synth haunting ''The Visitors" that was quite political alert song,the cinematically poetic 'The DaY before you Came'".Abba's surprising juke box had em all.

[@catherinebent7307]

Slipping though my fingers is one of their most beautiful lyrical songs. I never 'got it' till I had kids but... oh boy ❤❤😢❤

[@Earcandy73]

This song is a testament to their credibility and intelligence. They go back to their folk roots, singing about real life milestones but with a 1980s new-age flair that was still catchy. I think they closed out their legendary journey in a beautiful way by getting back together. It shows that their magic was always there, and still is. Like Fleetwood Mac, the identity of ABBA is a separate existence from that of each member.

And to then release it and, you know, let the world know.' Frida in another interview: 'Our personal life changed over those years.

ABBA harmonies are fire. Being a GenX dude, none of us would admit it publicly, but alone driving we all knew and loved their stuff. I saw some VH1 behind the music back in the day and even the best metal bands all tried to create ABBA quality harmonies. Thanks for the review.

[@graphiquejack]

One of Frida’s finest, out of many brilliant songs. Vocally, this song gives us a taste of what Frida’s solo career after ABBA would sound like. In ABBA, the men tended to write songs for her that remained in her mid and lower registers, which showcases how sexy and sultry she could sound, but Frida has such huge range that she can sing nearly as high as Agnetha (maybe even higher in her head voice… check out her live performance of En Ledin Dag), also, and in her upper register she has a slight edge that lends itself well to more harder, rockier songs. Both of these women were incredibly talented vocalists in their own right and they deserve to be considered among the best pop singers of all time.

[@cassyharrison3592]

If you haven't done it yet, ABBA''S "I Have A Dream" is a good one, too.

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Great song.. these 2 couples were couples before ABBA was a group. The men worked together after they left their prospective groups and introduced their ladies to each other. The girls did some backup vocals for the guys. The guys quickly realized what they had and the rest is history. This song is about Frida and Bennys break up. Benny got another woman, Mona, pregnant and left Frida for her. In the next video, one of us, Frida had become so depressed she chopped off all her beautiful red hair. They tried to fix it but it ended up she wore a headband. Once it grew out it looked better and she died it lilac/purple.You can see how sad she looks. One of us was filmed right before the divorce was final. Weeks later Benny married Mona. Just weeks after that their son Ludvig was born. Oddly enough, it is Ludvig who is one of the masterminds of the Voyage concerts.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

The last ABBA songs from the album, 'The Visitors', were quite deep and with an ambience of sadness. The title track is outstanding, it's gloomy, experimental and futuristic, very far removed from the more well-known songs, but a masterpiece. I bet you must have reacted to some more Frida led songs: Fernando, Money Money Money, Super Trouper, Knowing Me Knowing You are some of their greatest hits and all Frida led.

For that fans are thankful. Thanks for all the love and all the fun ABBA.

You can't go wrong with ABBA. Their songs will live through history! On a side note, I don't believe I have ever heard Rob Squad react to Carly Simon & James Taylor for their duet song of "Mockingbird".

[@susanworkman529]

Amber, you need 2 playlists, one just for ABBA and one for everything else. I think ABBA has to be one of the most prolific groups of all time. Their catalog is extensive. You both love ABBA's music so its only natural that you watch the 2 movies that incorporate all of ABBA's music; "Mama Mia" and the sequel "Mama Mia, Here We Go Again" ( featuring Cher singing Fernando). Must watch these in order to make sense of the story. They are fun movies, lots of great music, and beautiful scenery from the coast of Greece. Please do yourselves and your ABBA listening fans a treat and watch these 2 movies. You will not be disappointed.

You guys should try an early-ish Abba track called I Do I Do I Do I Do Do. That is a feel good track which has got LOADS of horns which Amber loves. When you said that Abba makes you want to frolic through a field of daises it reminded me of that song because one of the videos of them singing I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do is them sitting in a field of grass exactly as you imagined them.

[@davidwakefield5002]

This song is a real good example of how ABBA's music matured in the early 80's.. almost all thier songs are telling a story , in the early 70's , it was more exuberant, then it really hit the power energy of the late 70's , then changed again to more of a serious undertone with a wonderful insturmental background and more depth in the story line.. They were two married couples first , all four were accomplished artists that played music together and the group ABBA formed on it's own accord. In the midst of studio recording and touring , they also had young childeren that they were raising at the same time ... A wonderful excptional group , that had a song for almost every emotion, and a wonderful diversity , no two songs are alike.. very cool... I have absolutely loved this ABBA journey , and will continue to do so with Voyage!.. Love ABBA!!...☺️....

Glad you finally got to a song from ABBA's "The Visitors" album, their last album before their 40-year hiatus. Although initially not ABBA's best selling album, it is today regarded by many hardcore ABBA fans as perhaps their best, due to the more mature and thoughtful lyrics of the songs. Other highlights from the album include "I let the Music Speak" (Frida's best vocal performance on any ABBA song), "Slipping through My Fingers" and especially the title track "The Visitors". I won't spoil it for you by stating what the song is about, but its lyrics mean EXACTLY what they are saying, and are not a metaphor for something else.

There's a lot of great ABBA songs left to listen to. I am not that familiar with the Mamas and Papas drama but perhaps the most amazing thing about Fleetwood Mac is that even after all the drama and the release of the Rumours album, the band continued to perform together, albeit not continuously, singing those songs, for about 40 years. Jay, I think it's only fair that you get to bring on another song or two from the Bee Gees.
