      Why can’t you compare this to ABBA? It’s truly just a copy of what made ABBA famous, except the song is not quite as catchy, dramatic or harmonious. This group may have been around longer than ABBA, and both won Eurovision, but it’s pretty clear to see what they are doing here. I’m not trying to piss on their parade but surely this was obvious even back in the 1970s. Maybe that’s why even my teenage children are familiar with ABBA but I guarantee you they’ve never heard of Brotherhood of Man.

    I know BOM and ABBA may have the Eurovision title in common, but clearly this is a cheap rip off of the ABBA formula! It’s nothing against them but it’s not as catchy as the stuff ABBA produced and it’s like they are trying too hard. ABBA was, more or less, original and this is just a group of British singers trying to be like them, with some very cheesy dancing thrown in. Time has largely forgotten the Brotherhood of Man...I think even Bucks Fizz is more remembered than they are.

      I wasn’t really a fan of this group back then.
      Although l bet Jeff wasn’t around in the 1970’s when this kind of music was popular
      No sense in comparing it to today’s music
      You could say that with most pop songs from the 1970’s

    Absolutely bloody awful nonsense from the UK'S "Poor Man's Abba" Music really doesn't get any worse than this.

    Utterly tragic Abba rip off. 3rd rate at best.
