FIRST TIME REACTING TO | ABBA "Dancing Queen"

[@jerrywilliamson4045]

One of the most popular bands ever. Extensive catalog. Movie and stage show based on their music “Momma Mia”

[@denplummer1067]

It's mamma Mia

[@adamskeans2515]

they were the most sold band of all time until Garth Brooks overtook them in the 90s

[@douglasg.9271]

They were HUGE. Worldwide. Many very catchy hits. Absolute ear candy.

[@the777BIGBRO]

Ear candy, ABBA is, says Yoda! =)

[@andreasmith6528]

This is sooooo camp, I just love it. They totally sell it, which is why it works. ABBA has a ton of hits. More of the soundtrack of my life!

[@jimmysalford8415]

Nobody did harmonies like those two ladies, nobody.

[@meltedplasticarmyguy]

More ABBA. It does not matter what song it is, just more ABBA.

[@pamagnolia]

Have always loved ABBA!! Your joy was so nice to see!!

[@bryter00]

The absolute definition of the perfect pop song.

[@louisewakelingsmith13]

This would get EVERYONE on the dance floor… thanks for the memory ❤

[@eduardooscar309]

ABBA is a Swedish pop group, the best, most versatile and most important group of the 70s, in the post BEATLES decade (the revolutionary group of the 60s) ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, was a musical and cultural phenomenon, and its legacy lives on ABBA is an acrostic with initials of their first names They was two couples: Agnetha (blonde lead vocal) & Björn (guitarist songwriter) Benny (pianist songwriter) & Anni Frid (brunette lead vocal) (both couples separated before the end of the group) ABBA recording between 1972/1982, have a wonderful series of more than 20 worldwide hits included: Waterloo S.O.S. Mamma Mia Fernando Dancing Queen Knowing me knowing you Take a chance on me Chiquitita Does your mother know The winner takes it all Super trouper And after almost ¡40 years!... ABBA return to studio and recording a full new álbum Voyage that was released in last November 2021 and is a worldwide succes now And in last May 2022 they all four asist to the premier of the new Voyage Concerts in the new ABBA Arena at London, with more than 1.000.000 visitors at their virtual concerts, with tickets on sale to May 2024 The ages of ABBA members are: 73 Agnetha 78 Björn 76 Benny 77 Anni Frid

[@eduardooscar309]

@raymondcarver476 They speak english too, the guys much better than the ladies. you could see in a lot of interviews

[@fiddiehacked]

They recorded their first album phonetically (by syllables), before learning much English. Not knowing if they'd have an English language hit song, they also recorded the album with Spanish language. Both versions proved popular so ABBA was a true international sensation. This phonetic pronunciation led to simple lyrics with great diction. I suspect ABBA influenced other disco-era artists to enunciate more clearly.

[@eduardooscar309]

@@fiddiehacked I think you have a confusion The four members of ABBA know English, because they learned it in their schools And they sang in English, with an understanding of what they were saying, keeping their Swedish accent. (acknowledging that the ladies had a harder time expressing themselves fluently in English) What they did record phonetically was probably the French version of Waterloo (I don't think the German one, because most of them knew German) And much later the songs in Spanish, since 1979, which was done with the help of a Spanish journalist for phonetics, and which they included in their last three albums and in the album entirely in Spanish "Gracias por la musica" (1980).

[@-scrim]

Beatles were awful.

[@jonnyberggren4598]

All Swedes learn English in school. Sweden is today ranked as the best English speaking country in the world that dont have English as main language... And learning english in school we have had for looooong:)

[@anneharley5319]

Loved your reaction. Please please please do more ABBA and enjoy even more outrageous costumes lol

[@TimberwolfOutdoorLife]

I absolutely love Abba, and this is my favorite song by them. When I was a shift supervisor at our 911 center, and my shift would be feeling down from bad calls or after a particularly really bad call, I would blast this song as loud as I could. Lol. All my dispatchers were under 30, didn't know Abba, and would always groan and roll their eyes. BUT, it lifted the mood and we all could move on from the bad feelings to face the next bad call.

[@greg2976]

The ABBA rabbit hole is a must!!!!! PLEASE go there!!!!

[@Matahalii]

The imperfections in the choreo are really the salt in the soup! You can see they are dancing in like a planned style, but always improvize a little so they both never look equal - like a real dancing queen would never dance like trained, but what the soul wants to express. "Perfect imperfection"

[@BoxerRick]

Takes me back to those junior high damces. All the girls wanted to dance to this. They all felt like it was about them. I actually told the girls at the courthouse( i went to school with alot of them ) at the first of the month I was the luckiest guy on earth" to see all these beautiful ladies bloom into the beautiful flowers they are today. Missy S told me thats why they all loved me still. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful memory.

[@marvinboswell6889]

Everything that they released climbed the charts ,they made great music

[@Isleofskye]

You're looking stunning. Good Reaction to a wonderfully versatile Group:)

[@DallasPsyborg]

They never took themselves too seriously. They did it for fun and wanted people to have fun watching them. They could have retired on the revinue from this song alone but kept going. They are worth billions.

[@willfromyadkinville]

now imagine growing up in the 70s and hearing it for the first time! i was in heaven!

[@greg2976]

Same here!!!!

[@willfromyadkinville]

@Miss_brittreacts such good vibes!

[@willfromyadkinville]

yup!

[@bartdrennon1764]

And every day brought great new releases on your local Top 40 station by groups from all over the world. Today-Sweden, tomorrow Australia, etc. It was the most creative period in musical history. When people say they envy me for growing up in that period, I say I envy them even more because of all the great music they are yet to discover. It's out there.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Abba is great. It was hard to love rock and abba too back then but today, we love both and appreciate the music and dancing.

[@1965norton]

ABBA . Agnetha , Björn , Benny , and Anni-Frida

[@christianmattison6096]

Oh My! You definitely need to do an ABBA deep dive - "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Gimme,Gimme,Gimme", "The Winner Takes it All" & so many more!!! They were THE BOMB! :)

[@eduardooscar309]

"Dancing Queen" (1976) is a beautiful song, a fantastic Masterpiece, which shines in the loftiness of its vocal harmonies the blonde singer Agnetha is soprano voice, the brunette singer Frida is mezzo soprano voice, and blending together made the famous and fantastic 'third voice of ABBA' And the music is bright and enveloping, from the initial chord it introduces you into the atmosphere of the disco and invites you to dance English public has voted it as one of the songs they want to hear the most, because of the feeling of joy and energy it gives them (another is "Don't stop me now" by Queen) And in 2015 "Dancing Queen" was included in the Hall of Fame of Grammys awards music ABBA begin to be famous in 1974, when They won the Eurovision Song Contest in UK with their iconic song "Waterloo" these is the link of the live perfomance, that I suggest you to a next reaction kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXfWh5iDr5Z5a8U I hope to see more reactions to ABBA GOD bless you my best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

[@stevedahlberg8680]

The first vinyl that I ever ever bought was in fourth grade at a yard sale across the street. I bought two worn-out singles with no jackets on them for a penny a piece. One was the Beatles Yellow Submarine with Eleanor Rigby on side B, and the second one was ABBA SOS. I was so addicted to that song, and even today I could hear it over and over and loved every second of it. I learned how to play the piano part really quickly. It's not like it's complicated or anything but I like everything about that song, including the wall of rock guitar sound when it really kicks in. They are Swedish and we're such a phenomenon over here after SOS. Apparently in the early days, they had to learn to sing their English lyrics phonetically, because they didn't have all that great of a grasp on English. Although I do believe that changed at some point.

[@kerrylewis2581]

My wife love, love, loves ABBA. She knows every move, every word, every beat. She goes wild when we are food shopping and an ABBA song comes on. It makes me smile every time.

[@baronofgreymatter14]

ABBA is loved by ALL

[@kimmycook2698]

Had ABBAs greatest hits on cassette back in '83...it was one of the few bands we all could agree on.

[@griselizondo]

My favorite song for dancing ❤

[@brheinfeldt]

ABBA is also very popular in Spain, and they have a lot of Spanish language songs that are really good!

[@gretacarrick5934]

Love how you couldn’t help but dance along and wanted to sing along!

[@jayritchie851]

I used to DJ weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, etc from 2005-15...and this was the #1 go-to song. Anytime things got slow and no one was dancing, I would play this song and the dance floor would fill up. "Love Shack, Mony Mony, Stayin' Alive & Ain't Too Proud To Beg" also worked but "DQ" was magic.

[@illibrium4590]

ABBA is so good ... one of the most consistently good bands out there. So fun fact, ABBA won the Eurovision song contest with "Waterloo" (which is a banger as well) for Sweden in 1974 and Sweden will be hosting the contest in 2024, which is exactly 50 years after that win. They are also one of the few winners of the contest to have broader success after the contest.

[@sherigrow6480]

What you don't know is that we know their names, and all of the words to all of their songs! So many great songs. Love them! Yes, this was a worldwide hit.

[@edwinsemidey1992]

Abba was my Guilty Pleasure . Considering I was a big Hard Rocker type ZZ top CCR And the Stones.

[@brigid4815]

Pretty curls lady! Perfect dancing hair for Abba 🙌🏻🎶❤️

[@luckyskittles8976]

Fun----"Does Your Mother Know?" another great one.

[@chrisjamieson3452]

Abba had huge success in Europe. And for good reason. Their harmonies and production on their records made for 1st rate pop singles. This was their masterpiece and can rank up there with the best (Including Beatles, Beach Boys, Bee Gees, etc. etc.) Young teen girls need music for themselves, and Abba provided it)

[@karl0318]

ABBA are timeless. They actually pioneered the concept of the music video and in my opinion were the model for the MTV revolution of the 80's.

[@heylad]

"Skittles in your mouth"....best comparison to an ABBA song I've heard yet. :)

[@kevinbruno5677]

ABBA was one of the all time harmonizing, synching supergroup. As a young man in the 1970s, I also had quite a crush on the two women in the group.

[@debbiekousmat6101]

ABBA is a Guilty Pleasure for Millions of fans still....Originally from Sweden, they won the Eurovision Song Contest with their hit Waterloo....from then on they were a Phenomenon.

[@juttapopp1869]

Not sure they HAD a choreography, lol. But ttheyyy were and are Legends. Annafrid and Agnetha for their singing and beauty, Benny and Björn for their Musical genius. All four for their perfectionism.

[@rosa32]

Anni-Frid the dark haired one gets properly into the dancing on all the videos 😂 love it.

[@martinbynion1589]

Love the new look, Britt! Down the ABBA rabbithole! You have so many great songs to discover...enjoy!

[@markferrett700]

Everybody loves ABBA....

[@martin6181]

It's so good that even the video started dancing😉 ABBA has so many great hits and then the two guys, Björn and Benny, has written so much more for f.ex. musicals and other projects. So much fantastic music produced.

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

(New Sub) Love❤❤❤❤❤❤ ABBA👑 BEST⭐POP⭐MUSIC⭐EVER 🙏Please more 🙏 Great react, btw... See ya Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍

[@xzonia1]

Loved ABBA growing up (and still do)! Used to dance around my room endlessly to Does Your Mother Know? Didn't know what they were singing about exactly as a little kid, but thought the question was so funny to ask. Lol. 😊

[@mikaeljohansson7848]

Their music is timeless. They made a comeback after 40 years with old sound and a lot of new use of technics

[@EconAdviser]

ABBA ruled second half the 1970s world-wide. They hit the scene in the European music competition which Sweden's entry never wins! Each of their songs are different, but always excel in harmony, orchestration. The Mama Mia (another of their many hits) revived their dominance in this century, first on Broadway, then in two movie hits. There was also an Australian-made worldwide hit movie based around this specific song. The men each had brief marriages with the two women, and their breakups made for more reflective hit songs.

[@lukaszwojcik8259]

Honestly U R the greatest thing that happened on KZbin. Luv your reactions, keep it up Have a day U deserve and all the best

[@skunkmonster1]

Your face!!! ❤❤❤ I can see you enjoying this!!

[@OlleStahlberg]

I’m a Swede and was 10 yro when this song and the ”Arrival” LP was released. Soooo many songs that I think you’ll love. Like ”The name of the game.” Fantastic duo, (A)gneta [Angnehta] and (A)nne-Frid. 😮(B)jörn and (B)enny wrote all their music. ABBA

[@TonyM1961]

To say that they were huge would be a massive understatement. They were THE group... even knocking out The Bee Gees in their time. One of the earlier comments listed a fair start at getting to know ABBA as a group, but (in my opinion, knowing how into the vocals you get) if you want to hear that incredible vocal talent, there are two songs that are "must hear" and those are "Fernando" and "Chiquitita". Soft, mellow, fluid vocal harmony that seems to just make you float. I seriously hope that you react to at least one of these, if not both. I would love to watch your eyes light up as you hear them. This group is truly one of a kind and you have a very deep rabbit hole to explore here. Enjoy

[@njwho68]

Great reaction...you always put a smile on my face!

[@Lovejazz01]

Probably the hottest pop song in music history, if you think not just in America, but the world. This song went #1 in so many countries, and out of all the hits ABBA had in America alone, this was the only one that went #1. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@larsnilsson6821]

This song is very Beautiful, and so are you ♥️♥️♥️♥️🐈‍⬛😸 And so says my two wonderful cats

[@johnurbanik1677]

Perfect pop🌞🌞

[@davesivonen9020]

Love Abba. Love your one take reactions. I think this was around the time where everybody liked doing the Charlie's Angel's gun poses ha ha.

[@svenpedersen9140]

Everybody in the world knows ABBA (swedish band). At first you didn't think so but then you recognised the song. There where so huge back in the day. There is a documentary about them... just watch it and see their tour in australia :)

[@andreagrause6711]

since i was a little girl, i love ABBA. My friend and i liked to play ABBA and dressed like them. My Mother had made Costumes for us. That was a wonder time. Still love it. I love all of ABBA.

[@bubbalouification]

Abba took the world by storm

[@simonpoole2333]

So in London now there's a purpose built stadium with holograms of ABBA singing 20 plus of their hits which sells out (thousands of seats) every night. It's called ABBA Voyage. Check it out the CGI/holograms are phenomenal

[@rosenpetrov8189]

One of the biggest bands of all time !!!!!

[@andreamonceaux2747]

I so love you,and have always blasted this song,so great ur reaction❤

[@quinjesuis9187]

Absolutely love it ❤️‍🔥

[@Grillers9]

I remember this being played in elementary school at our dances when the song came out.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

When I was a kid I thought Agnetha (the blonde) was the most beautiful thing in the world. Now 45 years later I'm like 'Frida how did I not see you?'

[@elmarwinkler6335]

This was the beginning of the music videos. You can imagine how unsure of themself they were. On stage with an audience it is totally different, you feel the reaction. Be safe dear. EfG

[@rolandratz1]

Well, my dear, that was the DISCO time... that's how people danced. We danced disco fox, bump, huzzler and other dances that spilled over from the USA. I've been moving for years from Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night dancing to "Black Soul", Funk, Groove; my favorite music was from the Tamla Motown label - my heroes Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, The Supremes, Jr. Walker and the Allstars, Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops and especially Barry White. I grew up with it - I still love it today (I'm 72 years old now - back then I was still young and pretty, today I'm just "and") and an absolute music freak. I also watch your videos/reactions regularly - always fun...

[@janetf23]

We all fell in love with ABBA in the 70s, they were the hottest Swedish export since the sauna‼🔥💃

[@scottwontorski1274]

Your a dacing queen! I love this too!

[@pumagutten]

Just to let you know, Britt: This was the only ABBA-song to reach nr.1 on Billboard Hot 100.

[@snakesnoteyes]

When I get sad/depressed I listen to ABBA because if I let myself spiral down I’ll just sink, but ABBA keeps me from hitting that point.

[@jeremy_trent]

I love that you said 'the skating rink' !!!

[@ArlynMeylan-jo7hq]

This is beutifull music from my time I still love it 😊

[@coletteservice5586]

Some really good songs from Abba: Chiquitita,Fernando,Gimme,Gimme,Gimme, The Winner takes it all, and so many more!

[@karenlong2477]

We had a lot of great music in my early years. 60s 70s 80s.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

An epitome of pure Euphoria obtained by music.But of course!It's Abba after all!

[@danielbenincasa770]

Love this group

[@tcat6133]

Love, love Abba! You look great in the blue color!

[@stevedurnell4002]

Ok ok OK !!! You are beautiful ! God damn 😮 Great song för övrigt

[@davidphillips4476]

Iconic for sure.(added) you can tell that had to be made up on the spot, like 15 minutes before Choreo, love it. Feel good for sure.

[@stellasweden]

My favorite is Happy new year. Thanks from Sweden ❤

[@markwong7922]

Love the hair curls Britt👍

[@neldablanco1663]

Frida red hair is the Dancing QUEEN! Song was written for her, she a lower octave than the other blonde singer! She little more outgoing in this group. But the blonde is usually the one people focus on...❤❤❤❤❤ all of them, and music. MORE ABBA!

[@davidlestervoice8914]

You need to find the videos of some of their live in concert spots.

[@stevedurnell4002]

Cher said this song too with her together too it so so awesome too Britt.👍

[@Harald.Bellon]

This Video was maybe one of the FIRST MUSICVIDEOS EVER - nobody does something like that before. ABBA where the first group EVER, that makes videos from there songs.

[@delrayflom8887]

Favorite ABBA song

[@susanyco4063]

ABBA first performed this at the wedding reception of King Carl Gustaf & his wife Queen Silvia of Sweden. I can not image the pressure of performing for their Majesties 😱 🇸🇪 👑 👑

[@gaefferson1]

Great uplifting fun song

[@rcinsley]

Green light for more reactions to ABBA! Pick anything -- it's all good!

[@deborahdennehy9937]

I was 16 when this song came out & used to go to the 'disco' pretending to be 18!! I was extremely lucky too!! Dancing Queen will always be my favourite for some reason. 💖💖💖💖

[@Dana-fy8bg]

Probably the biggest international group at the time. They were everywhere. And no matter what style of music you normally preferred, there was always room for ABBA. The laddies had quite a following on their. Think that Agnetha (the blonde) was slightly more popular. Recent pictures and videos show that all of them are still looking good and doing well.

[@Gazza-z]

Abba wow Britt this band was super awesome best band ever

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

[@voxsupreme]

This is a Try-Out-Coreography video ABBA made before their Official Video. They sweated profusely in their velour dresses and did not like the final result, therefore the video was scrapped - BUT Reappeared a couple of years ago, Thank God! Haha!

[@Gazza-z]

They can sing wow from Sweden wow thanks Britt
