      You have a spontaneity and openness that makes it fun to watch you listen and react. You get amused, you imitate things in the video, you INTERACT with it. These are the "garnishes" that differentiate you from other reactors, some of whom just sit there nodding until the song is done, or worse---talk and mug all the way through it, thereby missing key moments (the worst is when they spend 40 seconds going "where have I heard this before? This sounds familiar .It could have been a cover....but I know I've heard it....was it in Shrek?") Finally, in your wrap up at the end, you take everything into account--songwriting, vocals, instrumentation, the performers & the film-makers, and the backstories behind these songs/images. You also have a positive upbeat energy which functions as a natural mood elevator, so definitely keep going!

    So nice to see you again reaction to more ABBA songs in your ABBA Journey
    "Take a chance on me" (1978)
    is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world,
    the most selling song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen),
    #3 in Billboard U.S.
    one of their four Top10 in US :
    #6 Waterloo (1974)
    #1 Dancing Queen (1977)
    #3 Take a chance on me (1978)
    #8 The winner takes it all (1981)
    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 singer Agnetha is the lead vocal in the solo verses, her voice is so powerful,
    in perfect armonies and chorus with the brunette 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 'Frida' is mezzo soprano
    and together made a 'third 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, chance, take a chance",
    so the song was born
    Although it is a disco europop, it's like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying, addictive
    if I could give You a suggestion for next reaction, take a review of all "ABBA The Álbum"
    (release at the same time with "ABBA The Movie" in 1977),
    is a Masterpiece of versatility in each song,
    but specialy the hymn "Thank you for the music"
    I wish you a greatest new week
    My best regards from
    Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷

When my now 30 year old son was about 10 he asked me "Mum, when are you going to buy a cd player that plays those big cds ?" he was of course referring to my record collection lol. He is now a musician and Sound Engineer by night/weekends outside of his full time job.

    This comes from ABBA The Album. Bjorn and Benny were approaching the height of their powers.
    This is so beautifully and cleverly constructed. The whole thing, melody wise is built from the rhythm of the line: "If you change your mind." But then, ABBA were always a very sophisticated outfit.
    Worth checking out the Erasure version of this song, which is a great homage! 😉😉

    Came to the comments expecting you to be crucified for calling Agnetha the lead singer. There are plenty of Frida-led songs by the way. Try Money Money Money, or from their recent album I Still Have Faith in You.

      Don't confuse us with the Agnetha fanatics. There are comment sections that have been closed because of them and their disgusting behaviour towards Frida... We Frida fans don't crucify anyone. We are just clarifying the truth. And by the way he didn't call Agnetha the lead singer as if she is the only one. He said 'The lead singer who is blonde', so it's clear that there is another lead singer otherwise he wouldn't have had to mention the hair colour.

    Once you've covered a few more of their amazing hits, you have to see "Mamma Mia" with Meryl Streep. Benny and Bjorn helped shoehorn every major ABBA hit into a coherent movie. Cher (who appears in "Mamma Mia 2") subsequently recorded an ABBA tribute album. And just for laughs, do YOURSELF a favor and watch this video by the pop duo Erasure (who also have a lot of cool hits). This is from their 1992 "ABBA-esque" album and I think you'll love this cover/video of this very song. Be sure to let me know what you think! ua-cam.com/video/L-d4J3YUQmU/v-deo.html

      That's a reaction idea, the movie Mamma Mia would probably fit nicely here on the channel with all the ABBA viewers.

      @@DanCanReact Yes, they play themselves and their female counterparts. Their ABBA-esque album helped revive interest in ABBA in the 1990s, much as Mamma Mia! (musical & movie) did in the 2010s. Otherwise I don't think as many Gen Z'ers would be into or aware of them.
