@@catherinetodd5163 gosh you're a pack of sycophants. I've not once claimed to speak for anyone else. I did interpret ABBAs response, which was fairly obviously sarcastic (obvious to anyone, except maybe a lot of American). I don't like Clarkson, I think shes a mug. I especially dislike this cover, and thats that. Stop being a sycophant, allow people to have their opinion, you weird fascistic sycophantic morons.. Sheeesh Now I am done., I would appreciate if no one else bothered to project their shit onto me or put words in my mouth. ACEEPT that people don't have to like her. I'm not trying to convince anyone to change their OPINION, stop silencing mine. Shes a public performer. This is song by a band I LOVE. I will defend their original works and critique ANY covers, like any fans would. That's final. Stop being jerks.

It's okay to have a different opinion. I know Clarkson and most of her fanbase are from the home of the brave bla bla bla .. but you dont behave as if you're the land of the free. So AFAIC you can shove your sycophantic defensiveness up your Flag hole

As a Solid ABBA fan for decades, Kelly Clarkson's rendition of Dancing Queen was most "touching". The ABBA team would be pleased & proud of Kelly's take on their hit song, I do believe. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

It's pretty basic, and ABBA's response was barely diplomatic with its hashtag Kellyoke (LOL!~! ) and an invite to sing along by attending their concert. Only an American could miss the obviously sardonic response by ABBA who are legends, and clearly did not authorise this cover, Bjorn himself is currently working HARD against unaccounted streaming royalities and usages.. Get a grip and use your brain. Clarkson is a has been with an OKAY voice, cashing in on an amazing legacy using a popular but not even that great ABBA song, but the only one American audiences ever really responded to. Pah ~!

The impression it gave me was a nostalgic feel - a feeling that youth is fleeting, enjoy it while you have it. In latter years you can then look back on those happy memories. Of course you could and should strive to be happy at any age. However your youth is often a carefree time full of promise and possibilities. Whereas the Abba version was very joyful and “in the moment”. Both renditions beautiful and special in their own way. To Abba and Kelly I say Thank You for the Music! 🥰🎵❤️
