Me too, both crying and laughing, the shadowy figure that walked in the background, the way she edited it was really funny 🤣, but yeah, besides that it was very emotional as well which made me appreciate the comedic relief.
Please don't apologize for shedding such beautiful tears. It's never easy when we lose someone so special. I had one grandma and one grandpa when I was growing up. Losing them was so very hard. Now, today, I am the only grandpa that my 4 lovely, wonderful grandchildren have.
It's funny to see my Gen Z nephews and nieces enjoy 70s and 80s hits... they will listen to contemporary stuff as well, but these are the kinds of songs that go on their playlists.
I honestly didn’t think the second reaction would get me that emotional, but I felt so much better afterwards. And I believe that my Grandma is in a better place too.❤ Thanks for watching sweet Fam!💗
Hey gorgeous you look beautiful even when you cry because it comes from the purest part of your soul Ps: hope I didn't offend you love 💕 always RAFAEL from Puerto Rico
@@MorenikejiTaiwo ohh baby girl, sweetheart, I’m sending the biggest, warmest, feel better bear 🫂 hug for you. Grandma wouldn’t want her baby to cry, she would want you to remember her and smile 😊. Just know you are loved so much by all of us. Your loyal viewer, Matt P. Okanogan county, Washington state USA.
I used to listen to ABBA in the 70’s and 80’s, I was young and it never really affected me in an emotional way. Now when I’m 56 it does, it overwhelms me with tears and emotions…
I’m also 56 year old Japanese and posting from Japan. I also used to listen to ABBA even though I didn’t understand English when I was twelve. I was attracted to their melody and vocal but now I understand the meaning of lyrics which makes me move a lot still now nearly a half century after.
Lol ye, it's our responsibility to teach kids what good movies and music is supposed to be like 😎 Glad my dad exposed me to so much 70s and 80s stuff - oddly not that much 60s though despite him being born in the mid 50s 😂
Chiquitita" means 'little girl' (with affection) in spanish And the melody have a spanish tune, specialy by the acustic guitar But the center is the wonderful piano, like almost all ABBA songs "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with the blonde Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha & Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha & Frida are and what harmonies of excellence they achieve. It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables with great quality and beauty "Chiquitita" was premiered especially for the UNICEF Concert (January 9, 1979, just 44 years ago!) and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF "Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America, that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary, that in the following year ABBA recorded a full album with their best songs entirely in Spanish ("Chiquitita" in Spanish is the biggest ABBA hit in My country Argentina) Chiquitita" is in the Top 3 of all ABBA worldwide biggest hits, with 'Dancing Queen" and "Fernando", and it's a fantastic Masterpiece These official video was filmed in Swizterland 1979 , when ABBA goes for a TV Special (that's the snowman) It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden My next suggestion is to "Fernando" or "Super trouper" (1980) with the brunette singer Frida in lead voice I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best wishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South América
@@Fruttidoro words sometimes need to be accompanied by context in isolation way "Chiquitita" speaks of something very small but in several countries of Spanish America the term "Chiquitita" is used to speak in a very affectionate way of a girl in her childhood and that is the intention and the spirit of its use in this beautiful song
Chiquitita is my favorite ABBA song!! Mo, your react was so sweet and lovely. Don’t ever say your sorry for crying. I know that touched you thinking of your beautiful grandma! 🙏😊
@@MorenikejiTaiwo I know the feeling, but i am amazed of your courage to show your feelings like this! I wouldn't be able too thats for sure. After i lost my dad i isolated myself even more than usual. So i have to say you're really impressing me with how you can show your emotions. I think your way is the healthier path. But this is youtube so please don't take the mean spirited comments that might apear seriously, they are just trolls.
greatest generation... EVER... 🥳 if the first one doesn't make you think of your loved one.. you've never really loved . and if the second one doesn't grab your soul you have none . great choice in songs ..better choice in groups🥳 thank you for sharing ..
God Bless your Grandma. Many grandmothers actually raise their Grandkids while the Parents work, so many times they are close to their Grandkids, and their passing is more keenly felt. Its a huge loss, but the love they feel still remains. You will see her again later.
This was my mother’s favorite song. She passed in 2011. When I hear this song, I can see her in the kitchen singing along. It make tears run down my face as well. So beautiful.
ABBA means and endless stream of exceptional songs. One of the most sold bands ever. Once again , so sorry for the loss of your beloved grandmother. It's always so hard to lose someone you love.
It's okay... I cry too, with many of ABBA songs. I'm 52 years old, I was 7 years old in 1978 when I first heard ABBA and I haven't stopped since. It's just that the older I get, the more all these songs seem to me more nostalgic...
Боже столько эмоций ❤❤❤какое счастье что б АББа любчт молодежь спасибо спасибо молодые люди мне 56 я из уфы Башкортостан и я так этим горжусь люблю АББа и умру с ней
What a blessing for you. I think maybe your lovely grandma in heaven is showing u it is OK to be sad. Because you'll be amazed by how much love & joy there is to come. I acutely miss my father and most recently my mother. We loved to sing in the kitchen, making our food, 2gether. Music is a blessing. So r u .❤❤
Impossible not to cry and fall in love with you when you react on Chiquitita...😭🥰 It's a masterpiece and sooooo emotional! I'm sure your grandma is watching from heaven 🧚♀️💫💕
In the beginning was the Word, and the word was Love. I can see you still have your grandmother with you.❤ She and God both live in your heart. That makes for a beautiful reaction. Tears of pain turned to tears of joy. It's amazing what love can do. Tears are sometimes cleansers for the❤...😊
I have loved ABBA my whole life. My mother used to play there albums all the time!! My favorite songs are "Take a chance on me" and "Dancing Queen" the song " Knowing me Knowing You" is another really good song!!!
This song is absolute perfection but I had the same reaction to the outro that you did as an 8-year boy. I'm not sure I've ever heard a more beautiful expression of joy and release in any other piece of music. A stunning, timeless piece of art!
SOS came out as number 1 in the US. I never heard of them before. I fell in love with the song and I've been a huge fan of them ever since. Great Memories!
The beauty of Agneta's singing is, that she is telling a story while she does, expressing the emotions of someone reliving the memory of what she sings. When you listen to her, you believe the lyrics to be true.
Rick Beato did an interview with Björn Ulvaeus last week. Go look it up, fantastic talk about how these songs were crafted. The voices of the girls and the genius of Benny and Björn are still giving us so much today and for the forseable future.
Hey Mo, you have no reason to worry about the tears, you are full of the right feelings for your grandma, you now have the perfect song now to remember her by, much love babygirl xx
Hi Morenikeji. ABBA is a Super band. After winning the Euro Songfestival they make many Hits . I love the band very much, it’s music to dream a way ! I love your reaction it’s so real ! Thanks for your choice ! A BIG Hug from me to You ! Love from Holland. 🙋🏼♂️👍😘💐🇳🇱
Im sorry for your loss. I feel it with you. Abba is just unmatched. Their chords and melodies…..I cant even describe. “Abba” is a Biblical name, which loosely translates to “Daddy”, referring to God the Father. You dont have to be sad to listen to this. You’ll cry anyway. These women sound like angels singing. Whoever wrote their music must have been divinely inspired.
I was lucky enough to have witnessed ABBA in the 70's with so many hit songs in the top ten and 50 years later they are still being played.. such a great band
One of those bands that can write very deep and emotional songs and deliver them in flawless melodies and vocals. Winner takes it all and Thank You for the music are my other favorites of theirs.
I've heard their songs more than 40 years, and they still hold up. Not only the incredible vocals, impossible to impersonate, but also the perfect arrangement to accompany. After more than 40 years, they still send chills down my spine and a rush through my heart.
I missed the ABBA era, born in 1980. Im a working man, not really in tune with feelings and emotions , but ABBA have always hit hard, beautiful and haunting, succinct and flippant all at once. Your reaction was pure and i love your realness. You are beautiful too❤
I was never a big ABBA fan back in the days...Today they make me emotional and nostalgic. I even whent to London to se the ABBA Voyage witch was amazing. Sorry for your loss. ❤
As someone who also cries with this song (Chiquitita) I can say that I absolutely loved your reaction! Thank you. It touched me. Sometimes you just need to cry.
I've never seen anyone reacting so emotional on these two ABBA songs but when you think of your grandmother at the same time it's very understandable of course. I miss mine too...still....even after more than 23 years. She was my mother's mother and a very special and intelligent woman. Big hug from me, babygirl🤗😙
Mo, your grandma will always be with you. This song is a bridge to her. Embrace it and remember her. With much live and appreciation from Virginia USA.
ABBA always had a knack of making essentially sad songs sound so god-damn happy! SOS is basically a plea to whomever the song is being sung to. That what they had together is worth saving. The second song, Chiquitita, obviously struck an emotional chord with you and no doubt some of the lyrics resonated with you, personally. Listening to such songs and have a release of emotion is very therapeutic. The song itself is full of hope, especially in the chorus.
As a Swede, I can say that the spirit of it isn't a sad song, but a song of empathy, recognizing the reality of the story of a sad little child, and inspiring hope. As mentioned earlier in this thread it was made for UN's Unicef, and half of all revenues from the song were up until 2014 donated to Unicef, by then 20 million SEK. After 2014, ABBA decided that all future revenue from the song were to be donated to Unicef.
I was introduced to ABBA while being stationed in Berlin in the mid 70s and just fell in love with them. They were huge in Europe at that time and when I got back to the USA, some of my friends thought I was a little strange for liking them. Nearly 50 years later and I still love them. Chiquitita and Fernando are two of my favorites. I still tear up a little listening to those songs. An odd fact...the band learned the lyrics phonically. They were't fluent in English yet.
I am now a grown man, and crying to "CHIQUITITA". Magical
Me too, both crying and laughing, the shadowy figure that walked in the background, the way she edited it was really funny 🤣, but yeah, besides that it was very emotional as well which made me appreciate the comedic relief.
I am Irish, and I can honestly say, ABBA the best group that ever was.
@williammoffett1382 : And Ireland showed it. Chiquitita reached No 1 in Ireland, but only No 2 in the UK.
ABBA should be on some world heritage list 😊
As a Swede, I am extremly proud of ABBA.
As you should be. It's one of the best bands to come out of Europe
as a Dane i was proud as a kid that they where our nabo.
As a human, I am extremely proud of ABBA!
@@raulamezquita2560 Extreme reaction but, yes.
Jag också, me too 😊
Please don't apologize for shedding such beautiful tears. It's never easy when we lose someone so special. I had one grandma and one grandpa when I was growing up. Losing them was so very hard. Now, today, I am the only grandpa that my 4 lovely, wonderful grandchildren have.
Love this🥹❤️
For those of us who lived through the 70s and 80s, Abba was something special.
Lucky 😢😢😢
Still is special. Simply timeless. Fact.
ABBA really are the masters of emotional pop music.
💯 💯💯
the vocal harmonies coupled with great songwriting depth create a melancholy emotion that no other band have achieved
@@msimms-ft9yv Melancholy? Try Carpenters' "Rainy Days and Mondays" or "Superstar".
@@jeromeglickyes, all beautiful emotional songs by another fantastic 70's group. Karen Carpenter had a beautiful haunting voice!
It is a miracle to see how huge impact ABBA has after 40 years!❤
40? It will be 50 years next year when they won Eurovision
... and next year's Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Sweden.
Now more than ever.
It's funny to see my Gen Z nephews and nieces enjoy 70s and 80s hits... they will listen to contemporary stuff as well, but these are the kinds of songs that go on their playlists.
@@MrYoup11 I thought about song Chiquitita. It was released 43 years ago aproximatly 😁
She is so precious isn't she everybody!
👏👏👏
Yes.
Agnetha, Anna Frieda , Benny and Bjorn! Magic! Sublime!
When a band/singer can bring me to tears. I am not ashamed. i am proud to know that i have feelings, that humanity and love lives in my soul.
I honestly didn’t think the second reaction would get me that emotional, but I felt so much better afterwards.
And I believe that my Grandma is in a better place too.❤
Thanks for watching sweet Fam!💗

It's always a pleasure baby girl. 🌹
ABBA's music is as timeless as it is brilliant! What a talented group of performers!
Chiquitita is not just a song; it is an anthem. Over the years it has become an anthem of resilience around the world, especially for women.
Grandma is proud of you girl ❤❤❤❤
The MOOG in SOS, perfect.
Love you ABBA, 40 years later and your music still lives on. Princess Frida and Agnetha ❤️.
Two brilliant choices. Can't go wrong with ABBA.

@@MorenikejiTaiwo glad to help, baby girl 😉
I'm now 50, and even my Kids regonize an ABBA song within 5 seconds on the radio. Timeless classics....
I used to listen to ABBA in the 70’s and 80’s, I was young and it never really affected me in an emotional way. Now when I’m 56 it does, it overwhelms me with tears and emotions…
I'm nearly 52 and I totally agree...
I’m also 56 year old Japanese and posting from Japan. I also used to listen to ABBA even though I didn’t understand English when I was twelve. I was attracted to their melody and vocal but now I understand the meaning of lyrics which makes me move a lot still now nearly a half century after.
ABBA is one of the gifted bands where everything turns to gold, sweet tunes and meaningful reaction.
ABBA songs are so well composed and written. They don t age. They are still popular even after almost 50 years
Lol ye, it's our responsibility to teach kids what good movies and music is supposed to be like 😎
Glad my dad exposed me to so much 70s and 80s stuff - oddly not that much 60s though despite him being born in the mid 50s 😂
Chiquitita" means 'little girl' (with affection) in spanish
And the melody have a spanish tune, specialy by the acustic guitar
But the center is the wonderful piano, like almost all ABBA songs
"Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics,
a melody that starts very soft with the blonde Agnetha's solo,
then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus;
Agnetha & Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence
It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha & Frida are
and what harmonies of excellence they achieve.
It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables with great quality and beauty
"Chiquitita" was premiered especially for the UNICEF Concert (January 9, 1979, just 44 years ago!)
and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF
"Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America,
that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary,
that in the following year ABBA recorded a full album with their best songs entirely in Spanish
("Chiquitita" in Spanish is the biggest ABBA hit in My country Argentina)
Chiquitita" is in the Top 3 of all ABBA worldwide biggest hits,
with 'Dancing Queen" and "Fernando", and it's a fantastic Masterpiece
These official video was filmed in Swizterland 1979 ,
when ABBA goes for a TV Special (that's the snowman)
It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden
My next suggestion is to
"Fernando" or "Super trouper" (1980)
with the brunette singer Frida in lead voice
I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs
My best wishes from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
South América
Great post.
Thank you for your knowledge. Greetings fro Cyprus ❤
The song was written to Agnetha's daughter, so the title fits perfectly.
Chiquitita is more than little girl. Chiquita is little girl, chiquitita is little little girl. 😄
@@Fruttidoro
words sometimes need to be accompanied by context
in isolation way
"Chiquitita" speaks of something very small
but in several countries of Spanish America the term "Chiquitita" is used to speak in a very affectionate way of a girl in her childhood
and that is the intention and the spirit of its use in this beautiful song
Chiquitita is my favorite ABBA song!! Mo, your react was so sweet and lovely. Don’t ever say your sorry for crying. I know that touched you thinking of your beautiful grandma! 🙏😊

There is no party without ABBA🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🇬🇧 What a lovely reaction, you have just got another follow. 😊
Beautiful heartfelt reaction. You understood it all perfectly.
Thanks a lot ❤
I can only give this a thumbs up, I wish I could do more to show just how much I loved this reaction.
This was my mother’s favorite song. She passed in 2011. When I hear this song, I can see her in the kitchen singing along. It make tears run down my face as well. So beautiful.
The vocal harmonies in this (chiquitita) are like a laser beam of pure beauty... just eradicating negativity.

Big hugs Baby Girl this one hit you hard xo
My 12-year-old cat, TITA, died 8 days ago, this song ChiquiTITA reminds me of her.
I miss you, princess.
so sorry 😔💔
No band can do harmonies like ABBA, Agnetha's bright tone and Anni-Frid's low tone together is so good.
ABBA's music never seems to age. Brilliant.
SOS is one of the best written pop songs of all time.
pete townshed of the Who agrees with that!
Abba are timeless, magical 😊
This was no.1 in the UK when my grandad was in hospital dying of cancer, he was an Abba fan, so holds a special place in my heart
It's okay... I cry too, with many of ABBA songs.
I'm 52 years old, I was 7 years old in 1978 when

I was lucky enough to have witnessed ABBA in the 70's with so many hit songs in the top ten and 50 years later they are still being played.. such a great band
i had the same tear breakout. the first since years. memorable feelings came up... amazing
ABBA is my childhood. Mom always listened to it back home. So many memories.
That reaction was beautiful... just like you baby girl!

I heard this in Spanish when I was a kid, my beautiful aunts and cousins would dance and sing to Abba. Great memories, what a gift to the world.
I was never a big ABBA fan back in the days...Today they make me emotional and nostalgic. I even whent to London to se the ABBA Voyage witch was amazing. Sorry for your loss. ❤
Agnetha and Anna both had extreme vocal ranges, totally incredible singers.
I never give a thumbs up to these video. They must have been living under a rock to have never heard of ABBA.
As someone who also cries with this song (Chiquitita) I can say that I absolutely loved your reaction! Thank you. It touched me. Sometimes you just need to cry.
I love that you are so emotional. You must be a wonderful person
The emotional power of music.
Abba are totally unmatched and are in a league of their own
just wonderful, thank you morenikeji...
The look on her face at 1:07 is priceless.
