I'm so glad to see you for first time to react my favorite ABBA song These is the iconic Swedish group ABBA, that recording between 1972/1982, and after 35 years return to studio and recording initialy two songs and finally a full album Voyage released in last November that is a worldwide success ABBA was initialy two couples: Agnetha Fältskog (72, blonde singer) Björn Ulvaeus (77, guitarist songwriter) Benny Andersson (75, pianist songwriter) Anni Frid Lyngstad (76, brunette singer) Agnetha & Björn split at end 1978 Benny & Anni Frid split at begin 1981 "S.O.S." has a story It was one of Their first recordings after the greatest success of "Waterloo" in Eurovisión, just four months later, in August 1974 But it waited almost a year for its release, in June 1975 at Sweden, September 1975 at UK and US when " "S.O.S." have your chance to be a single, it picks at #6 in U.K. and #15 in U.S. being Their second hit in both countries at the same time, and six #1 and more Top 10 in several countries of all continents and after these, ABBA had 18 Top 10 consecutives in UK between 1975/1982, for example: Mamma Mía, Fernando, Dancing Queen, Take a chance con me, Chiquitita, The winner takes it all, Super trouper etc "S.O.S." in less than 200 seconds is a gem, a masterpiece! The transitions from the dramatic opening (a dingy piano and a cracking Agnetha voice) to a powerful rock beat with catchy pop chorus in the middle are brilliant. ABBA marked an era in many ways One was the musical leadership of its beautiful and lofty female vocalists as the center of attention Another was the use of contrasts, such as sad lyrics with catchy melodies and harmonies And their recording tecnique "wall of sound" gives ABBA more powerfull ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, left an unforgettable mark on several generations It is good music that lasts and stays alive and well Thank you very much for your honesty and sensitive in your reaction I hope to see you in another video to ABBA My new suggestion is to you see a live perfomance of ABBA in UK 1974 "Waterloo" when ABBA win the classic Eurovisión Song Contest between 17 countries and begins your worlwide legend in rock & pop music history kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aayjich-35eqZZc.html My best regards to You from Buenos Aires, Argentina South América

ABBA is awesome! If your´re feeling a bit blue, they always cheers you right up! Thanks for a great reaction Shawn!

You can never go wrong with Abba. Over 400 million records sold doesn't lie. Please react to more Abba or Roxette. They are the 2 biggest bands from Sweden ❤️

A german Song from 1981 - if you want - forgotten but still cool I think :) - "Dreiklangsdimensionen (Single / Remastered 2005)" and I looove ABBA :)

If you get an opportunity to visit Sweden, I highly recommend the ABBA museum in Stockholm. It's interactive and super fun. As well as eye candy. The costumes were so cool. I would rock their boots all day! ❤✌

Ohh good Shawn ❤️🇸🇪you find your headphones 👍🏾👍🏻🇸🇪 THX Shawn for a good reaction on ABBA ❤️❤️❤️🇸🇪

I thought you did a wonderful reaction, you are very observant. I noticed the two rewinds you did when Benny was playing the piano, and i wondered if you also play the piano. The riff he is playing has 32nd notes, which are very hard to play. I know, because it took me years to be able to play SOS the correct way on the piano. S.O.S is my favorite song of all time, and ABBA is my favorite group of all time, and I am almost 61 years old! I have probably been to about 100 concert's in my lifetime,(from Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, Buddy Guy, Bob Dylan, Moody Blues, Gratedul Dead, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Rolling Stones, U2, The Who, Paul McCartney and Wings, Pink Floyd, Bela Fleck,, and the Indigo Girls to name just a few groups from various styles of music).... but was never able to see ABBA, as they rarely toured the United States and I am from the Midwest. Prior to 1979, I was still in school and not near any large city where there were any concerts, and too young to travel very far. My family were all musical, but were into country and western, bluegrass, old time and gospel music, and were not into rock or pop music. I first heard of ABBA in the 8th grade at age 13 when they first came out, because I had a pen pal from Sweden who told me about them. ( Pen pals from different countries were alao big at the time.) My parents let me buy ABBA albums because this music didn't fall into the Harder Rock category, which most teens listened to in the 70's. When I grew up and moved away from home, I moved to larger cities, and that's when I was able to go to Rock concerts. But despite all the years and concerts, I can still say that ABBA is my favorite. They are so underrated, but their music stands the test of time. It is something that people of all ages and music genres can listen to. Hopefully you will review more of their songs, and come to this realization. And if you do play the piano, get the sheet music to SOS!!

👌🌟

Good reaction! Would like you to se you react to more ABBA songs. Listen to Intermezzo no 1 from the same album. It's an instrumental piece. Would be interesting to hear your view on that one. Anna from Sweden.

Love your channel. Try Fleetwood Mac... (mix of UK/US band) try Rhiannon live 76, and The Chain

Sweden isnt known for being exactly prude either....so short dresses are totally OK :-)
