Like it or hate it "dancing queen " is, or will be a classic. I live 8 mile away from Brighton, UK, where ABBA won the Eurovision. so many people have tried to sing this song including HSCC and failed miserably. But this performance, in my eyes is the best performance SIL has released, pure perfection, very very well done..

[@singitliveworld]

Thanks so much

[@michpackfan]

It. "IS"

[@cinemaformer1474]

Totally agree...

[@Sal-fn1pm]

Best version! Justice to Agneta and Frida. And to Rutger on the bass and to the whole thing. From Stockholm.

[@willyrodriguez4549]

Me parece confundida tu apreciación de los que cantan este tema por que no lo hacen por competir y ganar un premio sencillamente hacer un cover la palabra que dices fracaso esta por demás

[@santiagobenites]

Big shout out to Damien on bass. He's not showy or flashy, but he nails it every single time!

[@edisonjohnson8638]

Indeed he does!

[@SoundzAlive1]

Rutger would approve RIP.

[@riplead]

Funny you mentioned that. I always enjoy these videos, but I noticed the bass more in this one. Really tasty playing.

[@MaMaLuJo]

He's doin' the heavy liftin'!

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

I assume he's reading sheet music, or maybe tab. Lots of bass players could learn the arrangement by ear, but I think _reading_ is what sets really great session musicians apart from the rest of us. Damien always gets the groove just right, with an excellent sound. My advice to anyone just starting out learning guitar? Learn to read the dots! I have a few regrets in life, one of which is not learning to read music when I was a teenager.

[@surlechapeau]

Nikki & Chloe !!! 💓💓Best duo of all-time!!!! Great job SingIt Live!!!

[@JohnSmith-do1pj]

Yep. . .so glad they haven't moved to the dark side.

Never been a big fan of ABBA, but this is amazing....😊

Amazing girls and musicians! You are the Best!

[@MadeWindowsEasy]

Yeah, but sadly they came too late 😢😂 ABBA is already singing😁

[@At0m1cPunk]

Chloe & Nikki + Abba = I've never clicked a link faster. Absolute perfection.

[@saundramonroe5501]

The "LADIES" look GORGEOUS!!! And sound FANTASTIC!!!! The guys playing is on point!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Fakeaorta]

"Nessun Dorma" sung by Chloe is mesmerizing!

Extraordinario todo....felicitaciones a cada uno....Un pequeñísimo comentario ...Que chica rubia evite bajar la mirada y mantener su hermoso mirar de ojos grandes siempre ....Súper

[@jamesmorrison7692]

Nikki and Chloe harmonizing on this iconic song, thats all that needs to be said. This band is solid, Crafty is always entertaining and the Darren and the rest of the crew are awesome! Another great song, Nikki and Chloe are gems!

[@randomfud]

Australia's best female talent right here! Sing It Live showcases the best of the best each week! Puts a smile on my dial every Saturday! 💚💚

[@marcschwartz2894]

Australia's? How about the rest of the world too? INCREDIBLE!

[@johnnyholland8765]

Thank you ladies. I am sitting here with my Bose headphones crying listening to this. I am 65 years old and this takes me back to the mid seventies and all the music of that time. People don't realize or a lot of them don't that music is so powerful and can take you into the past for good or bad. It can make you remember things good and bad you had forgotten. This song is a good memory for me like all the ABBA music was and is. Your harmonies are absolutely spot on and whoever is on bass they are fantastic. Nothing fancy just not missing a note. Everything simply flows. Nikki and Chloe are so beautiful both with an angels voice. Just close your eyes and let the music take you away...

[@vruz]

Darren, Chloe, Nikki, and band, you should totally do a full ABBA show and a full ABBA covers album. Quality unmatched.

[@timndel]

ABBA was known for ridiculously good bass lines, and Damien aced this one again. Great job everyone, and welcome back to my screen, Nikki!

[@eggy1962]

Can see him concentrating, Rutgers bass lines i hear are not easy

[@timndel]

@@eggy1962 it was so hard to keep an eye on him, what with Nikki and Chloe doing their wiggles...

[@snairotearp]

I didn't even know that was possible to reproduce those two voices of ABBA. I am blown away!

[@discoinferno112]

What a breath of fresh air…you just took me back to my childhood bedroom and 1976 when I worshiped ABBA and the Bee Gee’s and my bedroom floor was a disco and I would practice my Travolta dance fever moves in my mirror and I ruled the floor. What a wonderful rendition and those harmonies fit the beautiful faces. That era was such a great time to be young and so alive!!!! Thank you Sing It Live!!!!

[@MrAllan04]

Here Here!!!!!

[@genatzvali]

I'm not a queen but Hearing this song makes me wanna go dancing. The band is great and Nikki and Chloe are magical.

[@BmanTheChamp]

One of the best ABBA songs, sung by one of the greatest cover bands? Hell yeah!

[@murraychadwick9362]

You guys are a blessing from God to me 🥹. I'm 62 and this is the year that I finally started feeling my age after I suffered a pulmonary embolism.. Before I always felt younger and could take on any project put before me. Now I struggle everyday just to want to get up. Music is the one thing that I have found that can take my mind to a special place and time in my life. Music to me is like a magic time machine. I graduated high school in 1980 so all the music your band performs is during the greatest years of my life. I can't thank all of you enough for the smiles and good feeling you bring back to my life 🥹❤️

[@singitliveworld]

Bless you and thanks for watching. Glad you like our videos 🙏

[@laertealmeidagodoi4681]

Simplesmente maravilhoso ❤

[@MA37679]

Stay the course Murray. Lots of fight left in ya pal.

[@PsJohnHo]

BLESSINGS to you who hear this song...bring good health and life to you.❤😊

[@PsJohnHo]

Gorgeous and beautiful ❤😊

[@tube396]

Terrific performance Ladies! Nikki's octave range as well as her tonal quality was matching Agnetha's perfectly. More ABBA songs please!

[@matsgustavsson665]

Yes, it was beatiful. But it was two Agnetas singing and no Annifrid.

[@TheGravediggerdave]

Although Crafty is always very entertaining to watch, he never overplays! Perfect session guitarist! And Damien, as always, nails tone and groove! These guys know exactly what the song needs!!

[@algernon5776]

Oh yeah my 2 favorite ladies. Heaven 🙏 on Earth. Wonderful duet with a tremendous band accompaniment.

[@MiThreeSunz]

Nikki and Chloe channeled their inner ABBA! Damien was tight and in the pocket. SingItLive delivers another masterful performance of this iconic song! 👊🇨🇦

[@marcstango1481]

Well I'd have to say there was great chemistry in this song. Nikki and Chloe shine here and Darren let's them go!! Love the music guys!!!

[@billmitchell3329]

I’m impressed with the level of talent from Australia. This musicians and singers, Nikki and Chloe are as good as the originals and then some. Just fantastic! Those two ladies are gorgeous knockout beauties.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Australia has always been a hotbed of talented musicians.

[@JasonWilly1234]

🎶So I say ‘Thank You for the music. The songs you’re singing. Thanks for all the joy you’re bringin’ 🎵

[@archstanton9206]

Those two ladies have the magic individually, but when they get together like this, to sing something fun, well, they are more than just two incredible singers...more than the sum of two parts. Very much enjoyed this, well done by all.

[@farkenmayhem6951]

Reminds me of my first gorgeous girlfriend from over 30 years ago. She loved ABBA and particularly this song. It was played at every wedding and every birthday party. Thanks Sing it Live for bringing back the memories. Great cover! ❤

[@stevedudley831]

Much much much better than that other version. Our own Agnetha and Annifrid and Stuart's piano just makes it sound so authentic

[@singitliveworld]

Gotta have the Piano..👊🏼

[@nigelcs9856]

Totally agreed. The arranger made a vital change that backfired. And the vocals were disappointing as well. It was one of those rare performances that I found difficult to sit through. What a waste for the effort put in by all those involved.

[@reneisip4428]

Can’t beat this awesome duo from Australia. Just masterful music and the Sing it Live band just “kills” it.

[@bedicou2003]

Blimey, this is close to perfection ! From a die-hard Abba fan in France. (for those who don"t know...Abba's pianist and producer Benny Andersson still composes nowadays, a true pop genius ! )

[@Midot613]

Nikki and Chloe, I have been listening to your singing over the past few years, especially via Sing It Live. You are both beautiful souls, very talented, and full of playful energy! Your performances are extraordinary, and your covers are fabulous! As a fan, I wish you and your families many years of health and success!

[@ronkeyes659]

Nikki & Chloe smiling and playing to the camera made me smile during this genuine performance by the ladies! Of course Crafty got in between which certainly was appropriate. Another stellar performance from the ONE AND ONLY "SingIt Live." Hat's off also to Darren, Mario, Stuart, Damien and of course Crafty!

[@gregharmon3797]

Talk about some dancing queens, Nikki and Chloe FIRE!!!

[@vagabond7883]

The production is supreme with every instrument clearly audible and well balanced. Damien as always keeps that rhythm grooving with that unique ABBA bass sound, and the two dancing queens up-front putting the icing on the cake. It's a joy to listen to this song.

[@stefanhakansson7316]

What voices and artists listen to you all the time, you are amazing 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@user-fk1zt7il4c]

I always close my eyes, stick my ear by the phone speaker and listen to the singing and comparing it to the original. You get the big thumbs up!!!🎤🎤🎤🎤

[@peterpaladino1652]

Totally lost for words on this one! But I will say " Nikki and Chloe are absolutely beautiful " ... Over the top by all !!!!

[@rosevfx]

Nikki is a force of nature. Amazing

[@derekdodds4530]

I was literally mesmerized by the two dancing queens. Wow! It was a proper rendition of the original. Very well done.

[@chaschampion777]

ABBA is such a powerhouse group... I mean, ABBA, what more need be said? That's right, ¡SING IT LIVE! Superb, simply superb. Time to hit the repeat button... God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏

Faultless performance of a timeless classic. Everything was spot on. Vocals and harmonies were awesome. Makes you appreciate how good the bass lines are in every ABBA song. Another one for the playlist👌🏻✅

Lost for words! 2 gorgeous ladies, Great music, excellent band, 2 gorgeous ladies, Oh wait , I already said that. ♥♥♥

[@johnoliveira7723]

Wow! I am somewhat of a Dancing Queen aficionado and this has to be the best sounding cover I have ever heard, and it was done live! The band sounded great and Nikki and Chloe were fantastic. These two ladies bring something special to any video they are in. They are more than singers. They both radiate positive energy, which the world sorely needs these days. Thanks!

[@DreamsongsProductions]

The group most guys won't admit they like!😃Those guys in ABBA definitely knew how to craft a pop song. Great performance by all. Nailed it!

[@singitliveworld]

True 👆🏼

[@TheSkydiverphoenix]

As always Nikki Heuskes along with Chloe Castledine owned this song. The band was great as well. Niki could sing the telephone book and it would sound good.

[@jimmyz2098]

Wow! Unbelievable. I'm a Van Halen / Def Leppard / Journey / Whitesnake .38 Special kind of guy. But I love MANY types of music, and all genres. All decades. And I've been obsessing on ABBA for the last couple weeks. And this is absolutely amazing. These guys just BLEW me away!!! Incredible musicianship and vocal work. LOVE this!!!

[@spkuse]

I will listen to anything Nikki Hueskes sings or is a part of!

Now if you’re going to do Dancing Queen, that’s how you do it, with the piano sitting in there. Well done Darren and team. 😀👏👏🖐🖐

[@MrButtonpresser]

It’s difficult to beat such a well known classic, but you guys got close, and with ease. Lovely job.

[@SoundzAlive1]

Certainly would be 'having the time of your life' with two dancing queens!!!!'

[@siskokidd]

Awesome, as always! My childhood will never die so long as people continue to pay tribute to the soundtrack of those years! Technical plaudit: Appreciate the off center panning of the two women singers. Sounds good in my ears to notice the difference while watching them sing.

[@Majikdiva]

YES YES YES ...BRING BACK THE 80S 90S THE GOLDEN TIME ......VERY ORIGINAL !

[@jacintab8783]

❤When you click like before you have even watched the Queens ….Fantastic performance ladies - flawless xx❤️

[@trainguy7261]

Very well done considering that Dancing Queen is a studio engineered song that is almost impossible to duplicate because of all the back tracks they use. Singit Live is the best!!

[@trainguy7261]

❣

[@gregc.9035]

I wasn't ready for this when I clicked on it. Hope the members of ABBA don't ever read this, but you 2 look and sound way better than they ever did. I think you might've even put a spell on me this morning...so thanks for that! Honestly, the sound of your voices when you sing together is astonishing...and I'd listen to you if you ever offered to sing the phone book to me.

[@joecopas6218]

ABBA! 'Nuff said. Great job, ladies.

[@glennjelich3174]

BRILLIANT GUYS....a bloody hard one to get right but you guys absolutely did it justice. I have heard a few covers of this previously and none come close to what you guys created today. Well done and thank you

[@marcosvinicius8675]

I love this song so much! A cover with the voices of these two girls together was a great gift. I don't miss any video on your channel in which either of you appears, their voice is like that of an angel. You are the best band in the world for me

[@gregsteinbeck9507]

Maybe even better than the original classic. All I can say is, "Awesome". The girls look happy as they should being backed by such a great band!

[@user-mv5dk5bn4s]

Nikki and Chloe ❤❤…….Singit Live Súper Band !!!

[@seabreeze3906]

When a deceptively difficult song, is made to seem “easy” by professionals. Loved Stuart doing Benny parts. Agnetha and Frida parts done superbly by Nikki and Chloe. Many covers of the song are cringe, this cover just made me smile and want to dance.

[@singitliveworld]

Appreciate this so much. It was among the most difficult tracks to produce with all the moving parts (all essential) and the mix was an epic job for me

[@JasonWilly1234]

Your hard works shows. Splendid!

[@fritzthecat50]

Always happy to see a new upload frm Sing it Live. My favourite band of all time. Forget them being a cover band, these musicians with much dedication to the perfection of each song puts them top in my book, and as for the harmonizing of Nikki and Chloe, how they sound as good as the Abba girls when i am sure the original songs vocals were overdubbed many time. Pefection is Sing it Live. Michael Chapman Hey from Ontario Canada

🔥🎶 Wow, just stumbled upon this cover and I'm absolutely blown away! Nikki & Chloe's vocals are giving me chills, and the band's energy is infectious!

Can't stop dancing to this rendition of "Dancing Queen"! 🕺💃 #SingItLive #ABBARevival 🔥🎶

[@svengilson]

Ok, it's been a few days, but when I first heard this in my car where I couldn't see the screen, I knew right away who the rhythm section was! @Damo - one of your top performances and Mario, you guys are so in the pocket and you make this groove better than anything I've ever heard (and maybe the original, dare I say?) Everyone else is bang on, and Nikki and Chloe, wow!! Love the piano, and Darren, dude, way to pull off a great string reduction! @Crafty - right where you need to be, nothing more, nothing less. And the production puts everything right where I want to hear it, escpecialy the prominent bass line. A hit for sure!

Wow. Blown away again by you guys. Ladies are sounding amazing and looking gorgeous. Whole band is killing it but a huge shout out to Damien. His groove and pocket is so on point.
