FIRST TIME HEARING ABBA- SOS 1975 ( Official Music Video) REACTION

[@markberry3381]

The 1970s.....two of the most gorgeous women on the planet...Agnetha and Frida

[@johnlackey1244]

I still crush on Agnetha after all these years.

[@toby9999]

You me and a million others :)

[@AndyMagnusson70]

You are so NOT alone

[@tongrandoncle]

Understandable

[@semipalatinsk1]

Who doesn't?

[@baldrbraa]

Björn doesn’t

[@cardaveux]

One of the best pop songs ever written.

[@ericpeterson6766]

what I love about Abba is that it's all about loss and grief and yet there is a feeling of exultancy, the shining of the resilient human spirit transcending all the heart loss. Bummers never sounded so exhilirating.

[@petraleopold2713]

omg so amazingly said, wonderful description!😍

[@erikskifte8862]

THEY ARE NOTHING LESS, BUT THE GREATEST BAND, THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN AND HEARD. NO ONE CAN SHUT ABBA DOWN. NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. TRY OUT: I CAN BE THAT WOMAN 🥰😍😍🥰

[@scouseofhorror104]

Heartbreaking and wonderful that song 😢❤

[@roy19491]

During the late 70's, ABBA was the third largest revenue producer in Sweden, topped only by SAAB, and Volvo.....

[@3rdstone1]

In other words, one of our finest exports ever. And seriously, one of our best exports ever in terms of artistic and cultural value.

[@4tuneagent]

"S.O.S." is my favorite ABBA tune.. it never gets old.. followed by. 2. Waterloo 3. Fernando 4. I Do, I Do, I Do 5. The Name of the Game 6. Honey, Honey 7. Dancing Queen ___

[@anastasiaeqbali6933]

I love their stage presence so much. The chemistry between all 4 of them was magical. Also, your reactions to the music are so beautiful!

[@25blondie]

From the days when young female singers looked so attractive without posing and pouting like porn stars. Today's young women should take note.

[@ogotainment]

You are right. Thanks for watching.

[@scanspeak00]

Like porn stars? No, like ladies.

[@natsinthebelfry]

How about women express themselves however they'd like without having to worry 24/7 whether they're attractive to men?

[@adamlauina491]

Absolutely

[@mariagotherstrom9533]

This song gives me goosebumps and my heart fills me with such longing.

[@lilmissness]

John Lennon said it was the greatest love song ever.

[@lenaengell8528]

Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, what talents you create! What is it with this little country in the North? Answer: one of their treasures is / has been that they have a natural aptitude for singing and for music in general. It is in their genes. See for example "allsång på Skansen", Stockholm, where they meet and sing together once a week in the summertime. ABBA was one of the very first artists to be known outside of Scandinavia. A big hug from Norway, neighbour of Sweden.

[@lenaengell8528]

Yes, indeed, in terms of area, Sweden is larger than Germany, but in terms of population, Sweden is smaller ...

[@Guanda70]

First time listening to an ABBA song? That's the most improbable thing I ever read. When did you exactly come out of the cave you were living?

[@kingofnothing1433]

My favorite group a long time ago used to be the Beatles. But then one day in the 1970s ABBA songs made it to the USA. Abba has been my favorite group ever since. My favorite solo music performer has always been John Denver. John Denver and Abba are the only two I have ever seen in concert.

[@ogotainment]

Thanks for watching.

[@777petew]

Yes there is a wealth of music from what is now long ago. Please keep exploring to see as much as you can. It's a treasure trove, but to me it's memories and it's great to share with you.

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Here is a suggestion for you. ABBA singeng their song Eagle. Those harmonies in that song are amazing

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Wow. Where have you been that you know yt but never heard of AbbA😮😮😮 ... And I could say the same thing about me. Never heard of the most popular for instance South African or Asian or even Russian bands or music masterpieces either😅😅😅🤪😏 So this is true: Every Generation has to explore and find out and hear it fresh. With new young ears! These Videos are a good thing imo. Reminds me of great stuff I didn't listen to for a long time...👍👍👍

[@ogotainment]

Thanks alot for this comment. I'm Nigerian and I'm only familiar with Nigerian songs and know little about foreign songs. People thought that I was lying for saying that I'm just hearing ABBA for the first time.

[@cackalackcowboy2127]

It’s a good song if you’ve never heard it and you’re singing the chorus the second time it comes around! P.S. Those are the long dresses they had to wear in the US because the short ones were deemed inappropriate here.

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

i have always loved ABBA, but i would never tell that to anyone...............oh, i just did.

[@MarkFaust]

My favorite song by them. Thanks for reacting.

[@paulecrosby2006]

Two of the best female singers ever ♥ ♥

[@islgrl292]

I love the piano work they incorporate, harmonies, are always excellent, which the women switch off in different songs. Plenty of Gr8 songs of theirs to cover.

[@Flokarl1]

It was good back then......and its still soo Good!!!! 47 years later!!!! ABBA were way before their time

[@zimjun7]

Yes!!!

[@dennisswainston411]

Pete Townshend of The Who has said that "SOS" by ABBA is, perhaps, the best pop song ever written.

[@SebGeddy]

I think John Lennon said the same

[@kenperk9854]

Yet people silly people keep trying to hang the dicso tag on them. STUPID.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

Their voices are flawless.

[@paulwilliams-or8hq]

I second that an absolute masterpiece

[@pasi4118]

Wow! this is one of my ABBA favorites. I liked your reaction and analysis. I would suggest " Dancing Queen " next. =)

[@ogotainment]

Thanks alot for watching.

[@MikaelMoller-tu2go]

Björn and Benny and Michael B Tretow really knew how to write and produce hit songs.. And Owe Sandström who made/designed the dresses was really into animals early on.. I met him some times in the school here in Stockholm where he was teaching young people about Zoology and Nature.. He is a really kind man.. It is so cool to see young people reacting to ABBAs music.. It will live on forever !!

[@Bob-lp7ke]

This young lady has a wonderful heart. A joy to listen to.

[@williamtanck1363]

ABBA makes everyone smile.

[@jonnno243]

I love ABBA. Thank you for playing this great song. There was a band called Bjorn Again in the 90s There is a video of their full concert at The Royal Albert Hall London in 1998, "(ABBA) Bjorn Again 1998 full concert". SOS is one of the songs they perform. Its all great.

[@dennisholiday1868]

The first song for me was Ring Ring because I was in The United States Army in West Germany and that song was playing over there all the time!

[@toby9999]

Wish bands would still make music like this. Seems to be a lost art. ABBA have another hundred good songs after this one. You'll be busy.

[@Belnick6666]

which "artist" does not use autotune today :(

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

you should check out Caro Emeraldþ

[@robertsacrison4057]

Love Abba! 50 years later I'm still a fan! How about Aerosmith's "Dream On"? Thank you!

[@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", "Dancing Queen" etc. Nice to see that they are back together again recording after all these years.

[@ogotainment]

Wow!!! Thanks alot for your detailed comment.

[@Muckylittleme]

​@@ogotainment They are all good mainstream suggestions but sometimes I think some of their best songs are less reacted to. Could you react to I've been waiting for you live kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5bIg5aIo5Kirck Other amazing songs by ABBA you should check out "Summer night city," "If it wasn't for the nights," "Kisses of fire," "My love my life," "Lay all your love on me," "That's me," "Slipping through my fingers," "Angel Eyes," "hasta manana," "our last summer," "As good as new," "Bang a Boomerang," "So Long (Made in Sweden for Export)," "Ring ring," Like an Angel passing through my room" I think some of these are better than their biggest hits but that just shows how deep their discography goes.

[@TwistedSisterHaratiofales]

I didn't care much for Boomarang, but most of their other music was epic.

[@niklasherneryd4754]

Nice reaction to the best popband in history! Yes, the voice of Agneta is extra ordinary. Frida is really amazing aswell. These sad songs you’ve listened to so far ”The winner takes it all” and ”S.O.S.” are masterpieces, agree! ABBA have got a plenty of superhits during 74-82 and now again. Just to dig in it 🥰 and I will follow you. You have got calm songs like ”Fernando”, ”Chiquitita”, ”I have a dream”, ”Knowing Me, Knowing You”, Thank you for the music”, ”Slipping Through My Fingers” and ”My Love, My Life”. You have got nice upbeats like ”Take A Chance on me”, ”Waterloo”, ”Mamma Mia”, ”Dancing Queen”, ”Voulez-Vous”, ”Super Trooper” and ”Gimme, Gimme, Gimme”. ABBA changes styles, have always got harmony and a lot of expression in all their performances with great lyrics. My personal favorite is the romantic ”The name of the game”. Whatever, you can’t get wrong what ever you choose with them! Good luck!!! 🍓🍓🍓

[@ogotainment]

Wow!!! Thanks so much for your recommendations.

[@TangoEliott]

Agnetha and Frida are a magical combination and create a 3rd voice that can't be duplicated

[@barbararees604]

Yes most definitely try name of the game, it's one of my most favourite songs of theirs too. I also really love so long, he's your brother and I've been waiting for you.

[@jakell99]

@@TangoEliott "..a 3rd voice that can't be duplicated" What Frida brings to the duo is very apparent in this song because Agnetha starts solo. I would defy anyone listening blind to this song, and didn't know Abba, to claim confidently that there are just two singers. I put it down in part to Frida's operatic background..

[@jaidee9570]

I think even Abba would put the Beatles above them in the best popband category. You'd also be hard pushed to justify putting Abba over ELO and Dire Straits.

[@redcardinalist]

The instant smile on your face at 01:35 says it all 😃

[@ogotainment]

Thanks for watching.

[@hansandresen4392]

Thank you for the sweet reaction! ❤ They have about 115 good songs. Please check out their greatest hit "Dancing Queen"

[@ogotainment]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@gregburns5638]

Believe it or not but the dark-haired female singer was somewhat older than her other 3 band mates. Both couples married, but unfortunately eventually divorced, basically dissolving this incredible group. Allegedly, they were offered ONE BILLION DOLLARS to appear one more time together, but they declined. However, recently the 4 DID RECORD A NEW ALBUM, and supposedly will perform as holograms in concert. There is already a kind of "teaser" video out using look-alike marionettes, which is fun to watch!👍 😀😍🤩☺😃

[@freshfordagriculturehub6429]

One in four Australian houses has ABBA Gold (greatest hits). Australia was responsible for ABBA.

[@scanspeak00]

Abba songs are pop masterpieces. If you grew up in the 70s their music is in your DNA.

[@petedz9772]

I lived through the ABBA years. Back then pop hits came from many genres yet the ABBA sound was unique. I sort of get it now. They didn’t pretend to be R&B, soul, folk or any electric guitar-heavy band of the time. ABBA seemed inspired more by classical music and I’ve read that their keyboardist Benny was formally trained, which makes sense with his playing. A great pop band!

[@iaindj]

ABBA was offered 1 billion $ to do world tour few years ago and they turned offer down. They are best group of all times. I recommend to you Boney M. They were huge in 70es and 80s as ABBA

[@robertstack2144]

[@carolyncouch4094]

I was a teenager in the 70's. This was my favorite band along with the BeeGees

[@eduardooscar309]

I'm so glad to see you for first time to react 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 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, for example: Mamma Mía, Fernando, Dancing Queen, Take a chance con me, Chiquitita, etc "S.O.S." in less than 200 seconds is a gem, a 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 and well. Thank you very much for your honesty and sensitive in your reaction I hope to see you in another video to ABBA My new suggestion is to you see a live perfomance of ABBA in UK 1974 "Waterloo" when ABBA win the classic Eurovisión Song Contest between 17 countries and begins your worlwide legend in rock & pop music history My best regards to You from Buenos Aires, Argentina South América

[@alanmusicman3385]

Agneta had every reason to look genuinely soulful - touring the world singing songs chronicling the disintegration of her marriage and relationship with Bjorn, who was then her husband (until 1980) :-(

[@Bobbyliscious]

In the year 2000 I bought a 1974 Ford Ltd with an 8-track player. I wanted to remove it, but this was the only song that would play! Eventually , I killed it! You can only take so much when you are a Metal Head!

[@dallassukerkin6878]

I am a Rocker and have been all my life but even so, whenever anyone says "Swedish Blond" it is Agnetta that pops into my minds eye :D. And ABBA is probably the pinnacle of pop music composition - excellent writing and execution, even if its not 'my' genre.

[@alanmusicman3385]

Hard rock is for people who like gut music, not actual music. ABBA could do both, and do them well!

[@adrianalvarado1291]

You are a rocker Welll, these is a pop rock song

[@claytonsnider9420]

Isn't it fun how they can take a sad song and make you want to smile and dance?

I think their best song of all was probably Give me a man after midnight.

My favourite band when I was a child. Before they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with the song Waterloo, they released the album Ring Ring. (1973)

[@pandorawombat]

ABBA was always my favorite. You should react to Knowing Me, Knowing You next. I think you'd like it, and you get to hear a solo by the other talented vocalist, not just the blonde.

[@RockChickFace]

Back in the days when you had to be able to play, write, compose, sing, harmonise and have talent unlike today where its studio tricks and terrible auto tuning

[@alexfletcher5192]

As with The Beatles and 'Help', ABBA manage to turn a pretty desperate lyric into an uptempo pop masterpiece. It certainly worked in the UK. By the end of the decade they had logged multiple Number 1 singles here and become, in essence, honorary Brits!

Watch the movie Mama Mia, it’s a movie that used all the ABBA songs as a sort of modern musical. I’ve watched it many times. ABBA have just come out with new songs and they are developing new concert venues with them performing as Avatars of themselves. 👍🏻

Alright, thanks.
