"Dancing Queen' is the ABBA most famous song..very much recommend this great song Dani!👍

[@escorpioomega2111]

Hello, so nice to see you again with a second react to ABBA songs "Take a chance on me" (1978) was their seventh #1 in U.K. Official Charts and pick at #3 in Billboard 100 U.S. (and the most sailing ABBA song in US) It was when ABBA came to U.S. as a guess star invited of special TV "Olivia" "Take a chance on me" is so happy and catchy, beautiful voices (leads by the blonde Agnetha) and harmonies, great rythm and melody, amazing begining 'acapela', is a fantastic song! in my Top 10 of all ABBA songs And the video is so funny too Was the first film after Agnetha second's pregnance This song is the second single in the most versatily "ABBA The Album" There's a lot of greatest songs there, like "Eagle" (opening track) and their classic hymn "Thank you for the music" There's a TV show in Gernany 1978 that ABBA performing both songs in a sequence: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a56WpX6jga5kZ7s It's nice to known more about the ABBA music in your high level and I like so much to react these two in a row (only 6 1/2 minutes the middley) I hope to see you soon in next ABBA video My best regards to You Stay safe and be care

[@guyswing]

So glad you've done another ABBA reaction! Especially this one, which was of a much happier ilk 😊 you mentioned their harmonies.. if I might suggest a couple of other songs which better highlight their abilities to harmonize, I would suggest Chiquitita and/or Fernando.

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Yes. And the live version of Chiquitita from Wembley 1979 is absolutely brilliant.

[@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD]

For harmonies, it doesn’t get much better than “Eagle”

[@randalladams7692]

Im a metal fan and i love this they were on of my fav

[@suprchickn7745]

Me too, pop at the absolute top of its artistry!

[@loquayrocks]

actually, there's a link between ABBA and Swedish death metal

[@xzosox]

Well then, as a metal fan, you might appreciate Rough Silk's cover of this song. It is quite awesome!

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Bjorn wrote the song (Winner Takes it All), a stroke of genius! Painful for her because he "won", but still genius. And Agnetha sang it beautifully with real emotion and pain that was all too real.

[@alanwoodings7519]

The best band and singers and songwriter in the last 40years there will never be a group like ABBA again every song was a winner

[@eduardooscar309]

Good morning to You, and thanks for this second reaction, I enjoy with your reactions to ABBA songs the first is the most sad, this is one of the most happiest, it's the versatility of ABBA, in genres and styles of music, or kind of different emotions "Take a chance on me" (1978) is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, the most sailing song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen), #3 in Billboard U.S. and the seven #1 in UK Charts This is one of few song than the vocals are more extensive than the music (They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end) the blonde Agnetha is the lead vocal, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with Anni Frid in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance') Agnetha & Anni Frid have fantastic voices and harmonies together Agnetha is soprano Anni Frid is mezzo soprano and together Made a 'three voice' the guitarist Björn got the idea while jogging, by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance", and so the song was born Although it is a disco pop, it is like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying and addictive In the video the absolute center is the girls, very suggestive A clarification: it was filmed a month after Agnetha's second motherhood, so she had not yet recovered her pre-pregnancy figure I hope You continue with your fantastic ABBA reactions I think that their majors hits; "Dancing Queen" (+500 millions views in KZbin this weekend and vídeo in HD) "Fernando" or "Chiquitita" are wonderful song to next reactions My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina

[@franktaylor2401]

Fantastic harmonies from one of the most underrated groups ever. Thank you Dani.

Another great ABBA review Dani. Please do more. They have a deep catalog but can’t miss with any one of these suggestions: Dancing Queen, Chiquitita, Name of the game, Knowing me Knowing you and Mamma Mia.

So sweet and wholesome compared to more recent/current music videos, right? Great reaction, Dani! Love your shirt, also. 👍🌸. Check out their songs Fernando and Chiquitita, too! They have music videos for both of them, also. They’re both really great.

[@suprchickn7745]

Dani, so glad you found ABBA. Loved them in the 70’s & 80’s. Fernando and Dancing Queen are really great and I highly recommend them. Thank you. Dave

[@patrickperdi]

Hallo, im new here and i want to give u some information concering ABBA. Well ABBA consisted of two couples agnetha (blonde) with björn ( without beard) and frida and benny. They are still totaly popular and won the eurovision 1974 in Britain with Waterloo. They were also the first Band doing videoclips. So without them prop there are no videoclips hahah ABBA is the best and gives u hope, fun, and if u want u can cry with them. They are unique! Greetings from Austria

[@Oxygene1841]

Checkout Erasure's version of the same song.Abba were huge in the 70s,a short career from their Eurovision win in 74 in Brighton,England to 82-83.......Agnetha the blonde one went recluse after the breakup of her marriage to guitarist in tbe group Bjorn Ulvaeus.......

[@Flatwoodsdad]

So happy your doing more ABBA. It's OK to say "cheesy" that's part of their charm. Have you figured out yet that these video's are all pre MTV. They pioneered music video's. Pretty much blazed the trail for MTV. They also recorded most of their singles in multiple languages and dubbed the video for each market. These guy's were very savvy but hard working too. If you keep reacting to them you'll soon figure out they cover every genre too. And do it all to perfection. Great great band. Still in top 5 "depends on how you count" for record sales world wide and still selling strong. If you want to see their take on a show tune "Thank You For The Music" is top notch. Thank's and stay safe.

[@rookmaster7502]

I don't really see anything "cheesy" about ABBA. The vocal and instrumental performances are top notch, the song arrangements are extremely clever, the melodies are catchy. Song after song. Dance pop music at its best. Of course fun and light-hearted, but that's what most dance music was in that era.

[@Flatwoodsdad]

@@rookmaster7502 I'm a big ABBA fan. I don't think their cheesy either. But I felt like that was the word she was avoiding. As a fan I wouldn't have been upset at all. If it's cheesy it's one of my favourite flavours.

[@paulecrosby2006]

I can't hear anything cheesy about ABBA nd their music that's why everyone copies them, it was complicated music nd very technical, they were way way ahead of their time nd far superior to anyone at that time in music history.

[@jodykendrick1634]

Try ABBA's Hard Rock - Hey Hey Helen. Fantastic!

[@Tom_McMurtry]

[@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD]

To add to The Winner Takes it All, the guitarist, her husband, WROTE those lyrics for her to sing about their divorce. What a beautiful sensitive soul he must be

[@martyfeldman3269]

It was his thoughts and what HE was feeling. It’s as if you think it’s ok if she wrote them, but not him ,yet they shared the same relationship . Women are odd. He obviously felt it deeply.

[@mikeyates7931]

[@charlesbunch8383]

Abba - great vocal harmonies, and feel-good music. I hear some Olivia Newton-John influence in the female voices.

[@staffan66]

I would say that they probably inluenced each other and that the respect between them was mutual. They're all about the same age (70+) and when ABBA won the Eurovision contest in 1974 with "Waterloo", Olivia Newton-John represented the UK and she ended up in 4th place with "Long Live Love". In 1978 in the ABC TV-special "Olivia", ABBA and Andy Gibb were guest stars and they all sang together live and they all sound great. It's just amazing!

@@charlesbunch8383 Well... you know that one can't know everything, right? :) I know I'm learning a lot just by reading all the comments and it's exciting :) Oh yes, ABBA were active 1972-1982 and their first album "Ring Ring" was released in 1973. They got very famous in Sweden and Scandinavia, but the real international break through came by winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with Waterloo. They had 9 No 1 hits in the UK and several more hits in the top 10.

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

@@staffan66 Yes. And Björn and Benny had their own projects before Abba. Then they later asked the girls to sing some backing vocals and realized that it actually sounded better when the girls were singing. Their first Abba- release was People need love in 1972, although they didn`t use the name Abba, yet.

[@bennythedog93]

[@guyswing]

Just wondering, Dani, if you have considered doing some reaction videos for Pat Benatar. Classically trained in Opera, her vocals were what I considered to be groundbreaking in the realm of female rockers. If you really want to talk about range, I would suggest you give a listen to Promises In The Dark ( there is a great live version out there).

[@GetBackJoe1969]

PAT BENATAR is the undisputed queen of rock in the 80s!

I believe the budget for making the video for this track was very small....so they had to make the best of very little. Hence it's basic feel. I'm not sure but I think they were not even thinking of making a video for this track...but when asked to...the budget was small.
