Welcome to the 70s week in our Decade Series. I did have another video going up today but due to copyright issues, it’ll be blocked until it’s released. Hopefully it will be just another day or two. Hope you enjoy this video and you’re all doing well 🦋
When I was at high school in the 70's, it was "uncool" for a guy my age to like Abba. They were for the girls and families. We were into our Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin. Years later, when I listen to Abba now, I just think "I had no idea" - I don't think I've ever heard two voices blend so well. You close your eyes when they're singing together, and you'd swear there's only one of them. Absolute quality. Thank you.
Same here. I think I ❤them earlier but couldnt tell .. it was in my crow up in sweden for Girls. Later on in th90th ifound them again and now I can tell I ❤ EM. This song is one of their best.. my option
"Ten out of Ten!" That Top Grading also goes for Your own Reactions to this ABBA Gem! I enjoyed Your Facial Expressions so much when You gradually were beeing "Engulfed" by the Beautyful Elements of this Song, so Exciting! Thank You Lizzie - from Erik The ABBA-Swede ...
The instrumental outro went to be a big tik tok trend by youngsters a couple of years back.So newer Gens got familiar to this classic tune,THANK YOU doing for Abba.
Never was a big ABBA fan back in the day--But now I realize they were better than any of the so-called "superstar" pop acts today, and they did it all with thier own musical/vocal talent, instead of tons of production, synched tracks, and auto tune.
You hit the nail on the head with, "you just want to sing along." The melodies are always so catchy and there is just something feel good about them as a group that raises the spirits.
I have a connection to Sweden, My best friend in HS was an exchange student from Sweden, Hans, and we still stay in touch 40 years later. They really do have a different spirit of facing reality with optimism, something like us here in Maine. Maybe it is the weather?, lol. ABBA had some great songs. I think you would like their song "Fernando".
"Chiquitita" (1979) 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 akmost 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 and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence (Agnetha is soprano, Anni Frid is mezzo soprano, and together blending together the 'Third Voice' of ABBA) "Chiquitita" was premiered especially for the Concert by UNICEF, invited (with a lot of artist) by Bee Gees ABBA performed "Chiquitita" that night in January 9 (1979), 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 years ABBA recorded an album with its best songs entirely in Spanish "Chiquitita" was specialy the greatest hit of ABBA 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 This promotional video was in February 1979 in Swizterland, when ABBA go there to a special TV "ABBA in Switzerland", for the 'International year of the Child' (That's why the snowman) It's their only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Argentina
@@robertlinder8464 Thank you very much for your warm words towards my country. Due to the overwhelming success of "Chiquitita", mainly in Argentina and Mexico, ABBA was able to record several of its songs in Spanish (15 in total, being the second language in which it recorded the most, after English). ABBA made an entire album in Spanish in the early 1980s: "Gracias por la musica" with the ladies Agnetha and Frida recording their voices only by phonetics, with the help of a Spanish journalist and on the next two albums they recorded two songs in Spanish for each, including some official videos in Spanish as well.
It was so nice to watch someone hear this for the first time 😊 I’m very jealous I’ve known almost every ABBA song since I was a little boy in the 70’s/80’s because my mum loved them. Keep up the great work lovely ❤
I first listened to ABBA when I was 11 years old on “American Bandstand” I have loved them for almost 45 years now. I listened to their song in Spanish in Mexico visit at 13 years old and I was so impressed and from then on…I forced family members to listen to ABBA. They had a significant influence on several Pop Artists in the 80’s…they flew to Sweden 🇸🇪 to obtain music produced by their Studio and Production Company. Their vocals are STUNNING. Thank you for reacting to ABBA.
Thank you for posting this. You may not know, however, that ANY time this song is broadcast whether it be on-line or live...UNICEF receives a donation.
I have to defend the 80s a little though... But yes. There is still good music out there though, even stumbled upon Dirty Loops? Swedes as well. Astonishing, sheer joy and veeery good musicianship.
Love this reaction and song! Your videos make me smile. Check out the Moody Blues song Knights in White Satin live at the Royal Albert Hall (full orchestra). Al Stewart’s Year of the Cat is a 1976 classic w/strings, etc. Dire Straits Sultans of Swing Alchemy Live is 10+ minutes of greatness. Hope you enjoy! Thank you as always for the beautiful music and positive entertainment your videos bring to us. 😊
Good to see a new generation discovering our dear ABBA. I happen to be a Swede... I very much recommend you to react to Dirty Loops as well. Next to you, Thriller / cover /, Work shit out, Follow the light... Many good songs to react to. This one is wonderful too: You have to be there, or - even better - in Swedish, Du måste finnas / the version with English subtitles /. From the musical Kristina by Benny and Björn from ABBA. Seriously one of the best vocal performances you are ever going to see.
I have a suggestion for a song that I think you would really enjoy hearing. I know you probably get a lot of these, but I just heard it again for the first time in 20 years, and I think it is right up your alley as far as songs go. Billy Paul's 'Me and Mrs. Jones', studio version. There are covers out there, but please, if you decide to listen, make it the original. When I heard it, for some strange reason I immediately thought of your channel, and I never do that, I'm too old for that sh*t. So do yourself a favor, and give it a try. Please 😁🤟
Hi I would really appreciate it if you would react to, From Here to Entity by The Fizz, formally known as Bucks Fizz The Fizz - From Here To Eternity (Official Video). Below is a little history of the group and singer. Bucks Fizz star Jay Aston has endured a hellish ordeal over the last few years. The singer, who rose to fame when the British band won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 with 'Making Your Mind Up', has suffered from her own agonising health battles. Jay was diagnosed with mouth cancer in June 2018, had a gruelling seven-hour operation to remove a section of her tongue and then had it rebuilt using part of her thigh. They recorder this track on the day Jay was diagnosed with cancer which make it very emotional. Jay has recovered and is still touring with the group they just played a sell out concert at the 02 arena in London 43 years after winning the Eurovision. Also please check out, The Fizz Live At The Water Rats
'So Long' with the 'Made In Sweden For Export' video is also awesome by Abba. Just discovered your channel and have you heard 'Stir It Up' by Patti Labelle? If you've seen Beverley Hills Cop you would know the song.

Thank you, Liz! Stay blessed!
now young lady, you know why ABBA have such a world wide following! 'chiquitita'
Oooh I don't know about that, plenty of guys I knew, were talking about who was the hottest, the blond or brunette..in the day.
@@jamesheaney8258 heavy metal fans liked abba & not just because of agnetha & frida!!!
if ever there was a song to bring joy to the world, this is it!! a must to play at 'the end of the world show'!!!
One of the best groups ever ❤️
When we old fogies say our music was special --- this is what we mean!!!!
67 here, and have always loved ABBA.
Those two wonderful voices meeting -magic.
ABBA at their best.

Right... so we burned through 8-tracks of Meatloaf, 3 Dog Night and the Best of Bread.....
I didn't care. I loved listening to ABBA.
Same here. I think I ❤them earlier but couldnt tell .. it was in my crow up in sweden for Girls. Later on in th90th ifound them again and now I can tell I ❤ EM. This song is one of their best.. my option
Since 1979, ABBA have given UNICEF all royalties earned on their song Chiquitita, raising US $5 million to date.
A great cause and my favourite ABBA song. Makes me cry everytime.

One of the several ABBA's Masterpieces! 👌
Try more of them 😍...
Take care, Lizzie.
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
You hit the nail on the head with, "you just want to sing along."
The melodies are always so catchy and there is just something feel good about them as a group that raises the spirits.
The outro of this song always takes people by surprise... and your reaction was one of the best I've ever seen. Thanks for spreading the joy!
Wish all reactors would do this. Listen to the song, enjoy it, take it in.......then comment. Well done ❤
This the essence of the ABBA sound , the 2 girls voices blending beautifully , powerfully exactly ABBA !
This song has one of the most iconic outros of all time!

I was feeling down so the doctor told me to take two ABBA songs every day 🐈⬛🐈🫂❤️
👌🏼
I like that. Bet you're feeling better❤
Feels like heaven @@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l
Was number one for 32 weeks in Mexico
What an insightful doctor, stick to him! 🙂
Must watch ABBA Sos

If you want to fill the dance floor in a club, put ABBA on. Any ABBA song will fill the dance floor.
Dear baby Liz, please listen to ABBA - SOS….its a MUST❤

Incredible timeless songs
Benny Anderson at his best. The Piano in this is probably the best in all of pop music of all time.
Don't know why but this song brings me to tears every time it's beautiful
Benny's awesome on the piano.
You can dance through the 70's for years and never reach it all... it is astounding how much that decade towers over all others. Enjoy.
I have to defend the 80s a little though... But yes. There is still good music out there though, even stumbled upon Dirty Loops? Swedes as well. Astonishing, sheer joy and veeery good musicianship.
LOVE your reactions ... Thank you.
So let’s throw in a bit of Swedish folk music as an outro… why not? We’re friggin ABBA.
great song from back when you had to have real talent ! there was no auto tune !
Best Band Ever
AGREE
yeah one of ver finest, vey wrote n performed so many, hitmakers, composition, musicality, production by stig, vocaly, all top level
glad I mentioned it. yes its their best song.
Good honest reaction and how you feel what music can do, makes you close your eyes 🙂
I love your reaction. You nailed it. 👍👍☺☺
I´d say.
1 The Beatles
2 Abba
Then.. the rest. They were in there own league.
both ones are their own league.top pioneers on their own,nobody to touch them in their field.
Yes, it's true
BEATLES leads in 60s decade
ABBA leads in 70s decade
the rest could fight for the third place
but a step down both, BEATLES & ABBA
Great loved it.
ABBA could write a song about clubbing baby harp seals to death on a beach in the Artic Circle and make it sound happy.
Hey Lizzie. Great to cya again!
Love your channel, Sweet Lady!
😜😜❤❤
PS. Bring us more, absolutely love your reactions.
Impeccable.
Que bonita reacción de la morenaza que la está analizando hasta sentí un nudo en la garganta por qué como la gozo de por si son mis idolos los Abba
Watch the Spanish version, you’ll be blown away
You may have heard that outro on TikTok...it has become popular. Anyway, fabulous song. So glad you chose this.
Leona Lewis did a wonderful cover of this song when she was a contestant on the British X Factor show.
gangsta? pop QUEEN
I love your reaction and videos so much I'm going on a bench to watch all of them :-) ❤
ABBA, named after the band Agnetta, Benny, Bjorn and Anni-Frid
Had the guys been called Steve and Dave it would have been ASDA.
@@soulkisschaoscrypt it's Agnetha
Nice!! My favorite ABBA song! 😅 Thanks Liz!!

makes me weep, which is something most songs - even the ones i like - dont do.
great review! Chiquitita is simply amazing. Love u! Please react to "I've Been Waiting For You" the "live" version. It's incredible.
Listen to them sing it in SPANISH.
Hard to believe, but it’s even prettier,
Super!!!!!!!!!!
You have some magical aura that makes me think of Jenefer of Bergelber (the Witcher).
Excellent.
