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!
Ahhh, will there ever be an end to new generations discovering how great ABBA were?!?! This is like my third cycle of this at least! (I was there for ground zero, watched the 74 Eurovison and bought every album,, and 50 years later, they're still aaaay-mazing!)
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 🇦🇷 South América
Agnetha.... pronunciation: pretty good😊! Great video... Great song... ❤🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ Great react, by the way 👌! Try the other girl (Frida😍) leading... 'Money money money' 'Super trouper'.... etc... Take care, Dan ✌️ Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱 🤗 👍
ABBA is pop magic. Their songs are meticulously arranged and beautifully performed. I was only 8 years old when this song came out in '77 -- I'm 55 now and people still love it. Their music really stands the test of time.
Absolutely."2 chairs and 4 people in a room"No twerking no extravagant tricks,no nudity or special effects etc but that was more than enough to get you hooked on their modest majesty.
Another one of their big hits from 1978 reaching #3! Great reaction! Once again, this video was made before music videos were even a thing. They made many promotional videos to promote their albums. We're lucky to have videos of these songs from the 70's. Yes, anything by the Carpenters, I'll give you a like!!
@@DanCanReact I rememnber everytime a new Abba stuff was anounced to be released it was an event!Anticipation,adrenaline was high level.We rushed out in the record shops to grab the new banger but also the whole new album.
This is a fun one! Have always loved it (and think it"s funny, Benny running after Frida to the end of the video - he took a chance 😂🥰😉). You actually said Agnetha really good, almost perfect! Not many non-swedes do. 👍
It's all thanks to the helpful people in the comments, and the fact that I know French fluently (it seems to help me with the pronunciation of most popular languages).
ig isnta terribly common variant of a Norse name ( Agnete in Norwegian for example)) But much like with Italian, that GN really throws English speakers Agnetha (An-YEH-tuh) [Anna] Bjorn Benny Anni-Frid (Frida)
I like this as one of the best ABBA Videos, because for once, they are catering also for us women, in that they show close ups of the guys too, who are really also VERY handsome! We don’t usually get to see much of them in their Videos, as it’s usually all about the girls catering for the guys to watch! The Song is about those men who we are invisible to; there are guys out there that we like and we can sometimes literally THROW ourselves at their feet - but they still don’t see us... Men seem to forget that we have to be attracted to them too - otherwise the sexual act would be pretty gruesome for us... (not sure they ever think about that...) LOL Great Review of this great Song. Thanks for sharing.
Mate, that is 2 women 2 men in 2 failing marriages played out.publicly in songs..in the best group ever..imagine feeling that heartbroken in the best most successful years of your life but failing at the relationship level..❤❤I do love this group because their lives played out before me at a similar age and I still made the same mistakes despite the fantastic music😂😂😂😢😢
A real nice reaction. "The Album" is a fantastic record. But "Take A Chance On Me" you've got creativity and masterpieces there like Eagle (long version), "The Name Of The Game" and "Move On". Such a harmony... All these are in top 10 from Abba to me and suggestion to you, my friend!
EAGLE(that majestic prog gem) has a fantastic fan made video for the glorious ultimate album version (5 plus min)that do justice as opposed to the official but brutally chopped one in which ABBA were kinda 'forced' to do it in order to be more radio friendly etc/etc/etc...The video can be found in Weisskatzen channel(whitecat) and has a fantastic editing also featuring bits from 'Abba The Movie"(the elevator scene).It starts with the airplane scene from 'The Movie" when Abba took off for their '77 electric tour Downunder.
A completely unstoppable song.... I love the ladies in this in the Scandinavian clothes, flowers in their how. And Frieda's hair. I think I am correct in saying that there are no stil photos of this particular - there is a word for it - style. He hair has been put through something to be wavy. I know there is a word for it but it escapes me. She is such a good dancer.
@@DanCanReact I hope you are understanding that Abba were and are legends. There were also the Mamas and Papas in the USA, another two boy, two girl band, in the late 60s who were also very good. But nothing compares. Britain also had the Brotherhood of Man around the same time who were a bit copycat, but not bad. But now please look at the Dooleys, and their song 'And I wish'. Anything familiar??.
I think "most of us" refers to Americans, not ABBA fans in general. Believe me, in Australia during the 70's, I was sitting glued to the TV set to watch each new ABBA video the moment it was released!
That's such an awesome compliment! This isn't my first channel, I've been on UA-cam on and off since 2009. This is the first channel that I actually used my likeness in though, so I'm happy you picked up on my experience.
Maybe also react on " On and On and On 1980" with funny Frida intro it's a performance on a German tv show. Frida and Benny had just announced their divorce.@@DanCanReact
Hi I’ve been watching a few of your reactions so here’s another for you to try . The way old friends do . Oh and for the Christmas period try . Happy new year by them .
Hi mate I just had to give you this recommendation , look up on you tube John miles Music . That is the name of the track and you want 2001 proms live . Track music . Wow what a performance.
You'd be surprised, I have a stylus at home and have a couple albums from modern artists. There is something special about the tactility of playing music through a vinyl. But yeah, now it's mostly streaming platforms.
@@DanCanReact you cant beat old school vinyl and its nice to see its resurgence. 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.
@@helenpeterson That's so awesome! You must be a proud mom, I have so much respect for musicians, it takes a lot of time and dedication to put on a good show.
@@DanCanReact he is into Death Metal but yes very proud. Will try add a clip from his channel but most links I share get taken down. ua-cam.com/video/SK41qsXHHCo/v-deo.htmlsi=aCRZ26w_Mez1YKyV
Agnetha is such a magnificent beauty. That wink of her eye is wrecking me. I think I'm in love. And btw - you are pronouncing Agnetha's name correctly.
Even as an ABBA fan, there's a few things about this clip that creep me out. The overuse of winking, Bjorn's stare, Agnetha's entries and exits via the bottom of the frame... and you noticed them all too! Glad I'm not alone. Great reaction!
Great reaction! You should check out the version of 'Take a Chance On Me' by Erasure. It's a funny take on the same video, but the song is really good too. I'd love to see your reaction to it!
Yeah, a friend of the channel got me to check it out. It's funny, but not my favorite in terms of the vocals 😅 The reggae part at the end is great though!
I want the commentary to be louder so it doesn't fight with the music in the mix, making it hard to understand me. The point is the commentary, but yeah I could maybe compress things a bit better!
You pronounced that perfectly! And we subscribe, because we KNOW Abba only has PERFECT songs and yes, this is one of the best, just like The winner takes it all. Keep reviewing them!! 🥰
Will definitely do more in the future! Going to react to some other fantastic groups, like the Beatles (I've BARELY touched their music, maybe 2 songs)
Enjoying your ABBA journey. Make sure when you come to Gimme Gimme Gimme you react to the official lyric video - it has the full version. Keep em coming.
I unfortunately have already listened to that song in depth (since my sister was an ABBA fan in the past and would have the same 3-4 songs on loop), but I will be listening to the others that I've never listened to in full, so stay tuned!
Oh okay. I'm sure everyone would still like to see your comments and reaction to the video anyway though, if you wanted to do it - or maybe even the live Wembley concert performance.
Great song. Love me some ABBA. But Agnetha and Frida are both lead singers. Try Fernando Money Money Money, Our Last Summer, Adante Adante, Name Of The Game
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.
I've looked into Lasse's work, and he made one of the saddest movies I've ever seen as a kid called "Hachi". I didn't realize it would be as sad as it was...
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. And I'll check that out when I get the time thanks!
@@SWLinPHX OMG, I was really caught off guard cause I thought he got the lead singers THEMSELVES to join in for the music video, but it was just two men dressed as them 😂 It's not something I'd personally listen to, but I can really appreciate Andy's sense of humor and the fun he had with that cover.
@@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.
AHAHA someone did in the comments, but then someone else sent me a video of Agnetha pronouncing her own name in an interview (don't remember which commenter now) before a show in Japan, so that's how I got it down

Yeah, they are certainly beautiful women LOL
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

Damn, that Vaseline on the lenses
What?
You have to remember: There were NO MUSIC VIDEOS at this time. They try to make them as they go along....
True!
I still say that Boy George stole his dance moves from Frida.
lol!He once diod a cover with Culture Club to Abba's 'Voulez Vous".Pretty peculiar but very good,the CC way.
also grab some Olivia Newton-John songs. too
Great song. Love me some ABBA. But Agnetha and Frida are both lead singers. Try Fernando Money Money Money, Our Last Summer, Adante Adante, Name Of The Game
I've heard Fernando but the rest I haven't, thanks for recommending me them!
Have to agree it s a BIT unusual,we re used to see Benny & Bjorn playing their instruments.
True that!
Why is Agnetha popping up from off screen?
Because you know you want it.
Ahahah 😁
@@DanCanReact ha!ha!Well She's a charmer and knows how to seduce you.Frida is more of a straight shooter,lol!
💜💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜
Listen to ABBA - SOS (Official Music Video).
That's the next ABBA song I plan to listen to😁
Agnetha uses her Tongue when singing - "TongueNetha"= Agnetha.
Björn does Earn Money - "BjEarn" = Björn
Ok? Easy right?
Trust Me - I'm Swedish! 😅
Ay, love having Sweeds watching my ABBA reactions, thanks for watching and for explaining!!
react to The Visitors also by ABBA
Thanks for the recommendation brother!
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! 😉😉
Genuinely a great song, glad I reacted to it.
Psalm 35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them WINK with the eye that hate me without a cause.
😉
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.
I meant to say one of the lead singers, but yeah, thanks for the correction regardless! Appreciate you watching and thanks for the recommendations 😁
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.
This is a little embarrassing to say for me but I am using this on my gym workout playlist
Take a Chance On Me? Don't be embarrassed. I use songs that are not typically for the gym, at the gym. It's all about what pumps you up!
@ you’re right Dan the Man, I listen to the Carpeters also at gym works for me
It's spelled Agnetha but pronouced Angneta.
It's not, It's Agneta.
Thanks!
@@VidarLund-k5q No, zpitzer is right, Agnetha herself pronounces it that way. Watch the video where she tells us the correct pronunciation.
Alle Videos und der Spielfilm ABBA the Movie wurden von Lasse Hallström produziert. Schau mal nach wer das heute ist.
I've looked into Lasse's work, and he made one of the saddest movies I've ever seen as a kid called "Hachi". I didn't realize it would be as sad as it was...
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.
And I'll check that out when I get the time thanks!
@@DanCanReact Okay, just check out the link I sent above even for 10 seconds and you'll understand what I mean. 👍🏻
@@SWLinPHX OMG, I was really caught off guard cause I thought he got the lead singers THEMSELVES to join in for the music video, but it was just two men dressed as them 😂 It's not something I'd personally listen to, but I can really appreciate Andy's sense of humor and the fun he had with that cover.
@@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.
The reggae/rap breakdown at the end of the song is a cool modern touch I thought.
You pronounced it right Dan. It's almost like *someone* spelled it out for you phonetically or something.
AHAHA someone did in the comments, but then someone else sent me a video of Agnetha pronouncing her own name in an interview (don't remember which commenter now) before a show in Japan, so that's how I got it down
That pronunciation is correct. ahg-NYET-ah. The g is so soft, it's barely heard.
I'm glad I got it right, thanks!
