    The production and sound quality is obviously way better in mamma mia since they were recorded with more advanced technology (2008 vs 1970s). So that's why I think most people prefer the movie soundtrack. But Abba's vocals are way better than the actors in Mamma Mia with the exception of Amanda. Also for me abba sounds more nostalgic.

      Erasure? They added a Rap part to 'Take A Chance On Me'. Rap and ABBA do not mix. ABBA are Pop. I hate Acts trying to be 'cool' by adding Rap to their Covers of old Songs. No one does ABBA Songs as well as ABBA. Sadly, even Benny & Bjorn have forgotten that! A lot of 'Mamma Mia!' Film Fans, think that the Songs are sung as well as, (or better than), ABBA. Such people remind me of those Teens, who think that every old Black and White Movie is rubbish, because they are used to seeing Films in Colour...

    Look, the Mamma versions are fine in the context of fitting in the storyline of a musical. In this video, they also benefit from the stunning backdrops, cinematography and huge choreography. But listen and compare them without the visuals. It's really 'no contest'. Benny and Bjorn's arrangements are superb throughout but the ABBA girls are not only brilliant singers individually but their beautiful harmony is a sound unmatched in Pop history. . There's a reason why they inspired other movies before MM like Muriel's Wedding. Not to mention countless tribute bands. So it's ABBA all the way. Can't wait for these new songs to be released.

      You also have to realize, a lot of lyrics were changed for Mama Mia to fit the story, and why some songs were cut from the movie as well. Mama Mia: Here We Go Again has a lot of lyric changes with some of the biggest being "I've Been Waiting for You", "My Love, My Life". But it's was fun to see "Money! Money! Money!" mimic the old video.

  • @ghostgirl7089
    @ghostgirl7089 6 років тому +824

    Personally, for some songs, Mamma Mia is better, but for others, Abba all the way.
    Example: Our last summer sounds better in Mamma Mia than the Abba, and i think thats due to the male leads with the song. Same for Lay all your love on me, the Male lead in that fits the tune better.
    But, songs like Money Money Money or Super Trouper sounds a ton better with Abba than Mamma Mia.
    Of course, Mamma Mia introduced me into Abba in the first place, but some things sound better with the movie and others with the original, so really its all preference and opinion in the end

    • @chelseacharger
      @chelseacharger 6 років тому +9

      Our Last Summer was written for a female to sing. What you hear in Mamma Mia is a shortened version of the original song. It skips the first two verses, one of which contains the line 'And I smiled like Mona Lisa', not something a man would sing. Both versions have the classic ABBA arrangements courtesy of Benny/Bjorn. It's simply the quality of the singing that is the absolute deal-breaker. The ABBA original has got soaring vocals and angelic harmonies. Something Pierce and Colin never had a hope in matching. Fine whilst watching the film but without the visuals, it's just a couple of blokes doing a passable karaoke effort.

    As much as I love ABBA's originals the best, Mamma Mia 1 and 2 did a great job with their songs. Although the versions are different from ABBA, they retained the most of the originality of the tunes and the emotion. The only differences were the voices. Because of that, not only is ABBA a classic, so is Mamma Mia 1 and 2. As for the A-teens 20 years ago, they were called ABBA Teens. They made new versions of some of ABBA's songs, however they were not so great. Never mind the different voices, they took off a lot of the emotions of the ABBA songs and added too much remixed tunes and a little too wild and too much screaming and the songs that were supposed to be sad melodic emotional ABBA songs, they changed up the tunes so much that they sounded like people were supposed to be happy over these sad story lines. Our Last Summer was the only ABBA song that the A-Teens made that kept the original feeling. A-teens were only a short famed pop group and everyone forgot about them. They were not very classic and their popularity went out the window very quick.

    Tolles Video, danke dafür. Hätte auch nix dagegen gehabt, wenn es länger wäre.
    Vor dem Film hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass James Bond und Dr Selvik so gut singen können.

    I agree with these, but in mamma 2 there is 'my love, my life' at the end and its just amazing.

    Did anyone else notice how the Mamma Mia clips are like a key higher than they are supposed to be or is that just me?

    ABBA's version are superior for the mere fact that the songs have been sung by professional singers rather than actors and actresses.

    I have to say for most of the songs I can like and appreciate both versions honestly for different reasons. The original ABBA songs have a very 70's feel and tone to them that feeds into the movie versions of the songs, but with a mostly up-tempo spike that lets the actors sing the songs in slightly their own way and have their voices carry the tune. I grew up in the 70's and listened to ABBA along with other bands at the time and I can remember thinking their music was pretty good and kind of easy to use as an escape from life at that time. Now that 2 movies have come out with their songs, it's a huge nostalgia trip for me to hear those songs again but with different voices and different production that made them alot more fun this time, especially in the movies. I also believe that Benny Anderson had a HUGE part in making sure the film was mostly faithful to the story it was trying to tell; and especially to the songs as they were spot on almost to the originals other than some modernization of instruments and production, and the new voices from the actors. I happened to like very much all of the actors singing their own parts in the songs for the most part, and I even loved hearing Pierce Brosnan singing his parts of songs despite the fact that he dosent have a very polished singing voice. Everyone in the cast seemed to be having a blast with the film and the music and that also makes me look favorably on the actors singing abilities. Overall I'm just going to have to say I love the ABBA songs, both from then and from now just for different reasons but they still give me feelings and goosebumps in all the right places.

      She is old. Can’t help it. Like even me excited for their new two songs this year, I still can’t deny they’re going to enhance their voices one way or another.

    There is no doubt that the 'Mamma Mia' stage musical and movies helped enormously in bringing ABBA's music to new generations. But it's a monster that should not overshadow its creator. That's why the 'Voyage' concerts are so brilliant. It's like the band taking back their songs and all the younger fans now seeing and feeling what this group were like at their peak.
