Aqua are considered #1 bubblegum dance act achieving 28 million albums and singles making them Denmarks biggest bubblegum dance act, they even had a spot in the top 100 on the Billboard which was extremely rare 4 a European dance act at that time
Aqua also laid the blueprint on how bubblegum dance music should be made so bands or acts thereafter adopted there way acts like crispy and toy-box which funny enough are also from Denmark lol
Danish/Norwegian Eurodance-pop group. Formed in 1994 in Denmark. Best-known for their 1997 breakthrough single "Barbie Girl". They achieved huge success across the globe in the late 1990's and early 2000's, and holds the record as the best selling Danish band with around 33 million records sold.
There is a good chance much of this live due to the differences from the records, like longer-held notes, different melodies, improvisation, Lene's endurance and the quality of her voice. Plus, there are some imperfections that show through in the performance that don't in the recording. Some of it is probably lip-synced or enhanced by a backing track but a lot is live.
This beautyfull, incredible Lady, sang with Pavarotti, made a movie, quadruple platinum disk, mom of two kids, and still has more power than a Jedi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why am I only finding now that two of my favorite Eurodance acts teamed up for a live performance? AND THEY SNEAKED IN PLAYED-A-LIVE!?!?! MY MIND CAN'T!!!!!!
"We are the cartoon heroes - we are the ones who are gonna last forever" Damn... When I was a 10-year-old Aqua fan I thought thought the song was about Cartoon Heroes and I didn't like it because it was too childish. Only now do I realize it's not about cartoon heroes at all, but about feeling invincible. Maybe it's just me being pessimistic, but I suddenly detect tragedy in the song; the implication that of course we aren't gonna last forever. I haven't been listening to Aqua for well over a decade, and suddenly I realize they were so much more than what I saw as a child.
It's because as a kid you don't really dicect the lyrics it's not until you grow up and understand then it's a different picture but 90s was about being free and feeling happy a far cry from today's bollocks
Aqua конечно легендарная группа, сколько отличных песен они дали миру. Но также хочется отметить одну из моих любимых групп Safri Duo. Это сочетание было воистину потрясающим 🤤
Because they are a danish band... Lene was invited in after the 3 guys had a band... = danish band You ever called Metalica a danish band?... Lars Ulrik is the founder, and he is danish... Bands belong where they are created and/or live, and not where the members are from..
@@JesperSandgreen Its still a Danish/Norwegian band. The band you are talking about is Joyspeed. They were a Danish band. Lene was the lead singer of Aqua. Here is the description of Aqua: Aqua, the iconic Danish-Norwegian pop group known for hits like "Barbie Girl," was formed in 1994. The original members included Søren Rasted, Lene Nystrøm, René Dif, and Claus Norreen. The group initially started as Joyspeed in 1989, created by Rasted, Norreen, and Dif, who were involved in producing soundtracks for films. They later discovered Nystrøm and brought her into the fold, marking a significant turning point and change in their musical direction. The rebranding and change to Aqua was inspired by a poster of an aquarium in their dressing room. This rebranding coincided with their shift towards a more catchy and melodic pop sound, which ultimately led to their breakthrough with the album Aquarium in 1997. A1 is called a British/Norwegian band fex with 2(3) members from Britain and 1 from Norway.
@@In_my_own_mind Nope... You don´t get it, that fine... Using wiki as a source just disqualifies everthing you say... ABBA was swedish, and Metalica is american, look up where their members are from...
I dont know why most of the live performances of aqua is that they dont have at least back up dancers. Not just running, jumping and walking around the whole performance.
@@AuroDHikoshi in Eurovision the artist must be sing live and the opening or interval acts can sing live or lipsync. Celine Dion sang live at the 1988 final night, but sang lipsync at the 1989 final night.
"Hiya, Barbie!"
"Fuck off, Ken."
"No chance for a ride?"
"Get a life, will ya?"
*ICONIC*
“Okay!”

LOL I got the feeling they were a bit fed up with Barbie girl :'D
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Why don't you just leave me alone?"
"I'm just trying to make friends"
"Dirty bastard"
"Am I?"
😂
I had no idea I knew so many aqua songs until I watched this performance.
LITERALLY IM SHOCKED!!
You don’t know what you’re missing!!
Aqua made a few albums. Outside of the USA they were huge.
Very underrated 90s dance group
“Hi Barbie” “Fuck off Ken” is such a Eurovision thing to say tho 😂😂😂
Nah, it's just a very Danish thing to say
Doesn’t matter how old we get we must all admit that Aqua were great and I still love them at 35 years old ❤
Same here mate I'm 37 and still play aqua

This is the most European performance I've watched.

i LOVE AQUA dance, the best band ever in music disco history, god blessed AQUA🙏💖
Except they was bubblegum dance mate not disco, the truer form of bubblegum music was back in 1967

2021 who's here?
Hi from 2023 lol
not dissing this of course;)
Why do they call it a Danish band when the lead singer is Norwegian? Its a Danish/Norwegian band.
Because they were representing Denmark? And they originated from Copenhagen. but your pedantry is noted.
@@trojanpony They were an interval act, they were not competing.
Because they are a danish band... Lene was invited in after the 3 guys had a band... = danish band
You ever called Metalica a danish band?... Lars Ulrik is the founder, and he is danish...

I dont know why most of the live performances of aqua is that they dont have at least back up dancers. Not just running, jumping and walking around the whole performance.
Because they wanted to be original, everyone else had dancers, aqua wanted to be something new and just have a party on stage.
Because they were essentially a band, not a pop act itself. It was about them having fun I guess.

😮 playback 😮 on Eurovision? 😒
If it is playback, it was re-recorded, as it is clearly not as polished as the studio versions.
Lip sync...... I saw them live and they didn't sound like this... Very disappointed.
It's eurovision and I don't think they give that much of a toss

Oof what stylistic travesty this era was :'D
To be fair, this is also a performance for Eurovision where it’s still a stylistic travesty every year lol
wkkwm
Playback
Very unfortunate that they found the need to swear. Non-native speakers of English never seem to grasp the impact of swearing in English.
Whats the big deal?
I speak English as my first language and...come on...they're just words
They really need to watch their fucking language
