ABBA : Thank You For The Music (Live Japan - HQ) (2010 RnR Hall of Fame Inductee)

[is2daytuesday]

I don't know if I would call those shiney shards of metal confetti..yeesh. Is it me, or are the other three getting a chuckle out of the Tornado of glitter that (was) wizzing through..?!

[Shoesarequiteuseful]

"WHAT A CHAAAAAAAAA - COUGH COUGH" *chokes on confetti*

[spacecowboy7580]

@Eyesarequiteusefulalso.

I sometimes wonder if people like you actually watch the video or just make up something you think may have happened...I'll tell you why I say that. She wasn't singing What a chaaaa..when the gold PAPER landed..on her BOTTOM LIP.

It wasn't confetti, it didn't go in her mouth and she didn't choke on it.

At the time it landed on her she was singing I am the girl with golden hair...maybe she should have sang, I am the girl with a golden lip.

Try watching it again.

[Shoesarequiteuseful]

@spacecowboy7580 You're an idiot.

[Shoesarequiteuseful]

@spacecowboy7580 Whoa! I just went back an re-watched it. It turns out that she DIDN'T choke on confetti and die! WOW! I must have just hallucinated that entire scene. Thank god there are people like you around with fully functioning brains. WHAT WOULD THE REST OF US DO?

[spacecowboy7580]

@Shoesarequiteuseful

Ah..sarcasm...the defence mechanism of the witless.

[spacecowboy7580]

@Shoesarequiteuseful

Oh really?

I'm not the one watches the video and types comments about things that didn't happen.

[spacecowboy7580]

@Shoesarequiteuseful

I suspect you watched again and felt stupid about what you typed, so the best response you could come up with was .." you're an idiot "...when you know it's you that is in fact an idiot.

But don't feel too bad...you could always remove your idiotic comment and save yourself further embarrassment.

[JimColyer]

Discovery and celebration of talent. Modesty and gratitude.

[joaoagostinho100]

To ABBA: Thank you for (the ABBA) music

[strifu808]

I was actually waiting for Agnetha to choke from those falling props xD

[Celli380]

What a wonderful Live Performance. Love ABBA <3 <3 <3 <3

[francischang782]

I grew up with abba music Just love it

[mousergz]

I don't like this version.

Please search "ABBA THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC (TOP CLUB FRANCE 1978)"



[SergeantPaenzer]

[adukheja]

[1967sanfrancisco]

Omg, some jerk went overboard with the confetti lol.

[realmclennyd]

wow this is one of abba best song s ever

[kc5cxu]

Im glad thay got back together.

[hereticsm]

3:00

how sexy

[jazzbobrown]

she always comes out false on the first lines, though :) -always!

[Silviatube2006]

I wonder who was the stupid with the idea of throwing such an amount of confetti??? poor guys!...

[stephanrehh]

Masterpiece!

[dadoldjack]

Anni-Frid... I love you

[Horizons84]

How Agnetha gets so much raw power in her voice with so little apparent effort!

Spectacular majestical talent.

[MrDw18]

DANKE für die MUSIK

[MrDw18]

schöööön

[dasme47mate]

Thank you too for the music. Abba were a breathe of fresh air for some of us! Yep!

[gerby17]

it must have been annoying with all that confetti falling while singing. But I love how Agnetha pulls a piece off her mouth without skipping a beat.

[2Shaymcn]

Thanks to all for your fine comments and feedback

Shay

[samadams24]

This is excellent!!! What a trooper-singing even with confetti in her mouth. Any idea of the year this was done? It's a shame that they all couldn't be at the hall of fame ceremony. I know that Faith Hill is a good singer but she shouldn't have sung "the winner takes it all" That is, and always will be Agnetha's. Thanks for posting this great video.

[2Shaymcn]

@samadams24 Only to glad to . Wouldnt it have been magic to have all four there

They didnt want to get reunion rumours going though

I think this was '78

[EastTexas007]

You can see my daughter preform this by typing in "easttexas007". It's one of her favorite songs. She loves ABBA!

[realmclennyd]

wow this is my all time favorite song because I remember this beautiful song when I was a kid and it really brings back a lot og great memories

[Cranfan72]

So nice to see ABBA getting the induction they so well deserve.

I hope they will all come as it will be wonderful for them to be honored finally.

[mdamttc199]

0:50 - 0:57 on the piano is just awesome. I've never heard him play it like that before in any other version.

[Butterflygirl1967]

i love this performance! WOW...

[musicman9982007]

ABBA will not perform in the Hall of Fame ceremony. I know it sucks but it will never happen.

[johncarter44]

As my choir director use to say, "Now is the time!" Here is the opportunity for ABBA to perform together once again.

[2Shaymcn]

Lets hope they grab it and do it for all the fans as a final farewell

[Izadeparis]

Its a great new for alla the Fans

I'm very proud of this induction in the RRHOF .

Thanks Shay to do this tribute , ABBA deserve it .

[xavierxx92562]

Congrats to Abba on their induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame its been a long time coming. Thank you for the music.

[2Shaymcn]

Well said Isabelle. If any band deserves it ABBA does . forget labels this is just fantastic music, full stop !!

[kormoran78]

Thanks Shay for sharing this excellent LIVE performance from the beautiful Japan TV Special. ABBA sing LIVE so great!

[2Shaymcn]

They do indeed , sometimes I prefer the live versions , more emotional and touching !!

Happy Christmas Artur

Shay

[ww79gk]

I agree with (tmmvideo) -- "Thank You For The Music" is a great choice to celebrate the announcement with!

[tmmvideo]

At last!! This was a great choice to celebrate the announcement, Shay. "Nothing can capture a heart like a melody can" - well, I was captured about 37 years ago and I've been a prisoner ever since. Since Aggie hates to fly, maybe they can all pool their pennies and charter a luxury cruise liner for the trip to New York. Go raibh maith agat. —Tom

[2Shaymcn]

Go raibh maith agat agus Nollaig Shona Tom !!

Fingers crossed Aggie makes it over there . She has got to ! for you , me and everybody who cares about ABBA

[roydoncrossing]

Great news and well overdue indeed Shay-at least the RRHOF has credibility now!! 'Thank you for the upload' hehe!!

[frapistat]

Love ABBA in Japan, Shay. Now if they would just do ABBA in Switzerland; ABBA in Poland; ABBA in Spain..... OK, how are we going to get "something special" to New York by March 15, 2010? Idea's?

[SADL00KINM00N]

Brill upload Shay!! What a dream to see them do this acapella...!!

Wow finally in the Hall of Fame! Thank ABBA for the music is what it's all about.

[2Shaymcn]

Finally is right Elin, should have been a long time ago, but better late than never

Id love to hear this one - a dream indeed

Lets make a wish !!

[SheerFolly]

i know all ABBA fans everywhere are thrilled and relieved at the good news, Shay. i can only repeat what i said in a comment to Elin: if ever there was a golden opportunity for all four members to join together on a stage for at least one song, this is it and would make the ABBA legions extremely happy, we can only hope. great upload :))

[2Shaymcn]

It would be great to see all four there Harold - the circle would be complete !- and a song would be the icing on the cake !

[SheerFolly]

and what a plethora of YT posts that would generate, Shay hehe

[abbafanglosuk]

That's very good news indeed Shay. I guess there's one big question ..... we'll just have to wait and see if our "something special" makes the trip over there!

[2Shaymcn]

Maybe the time is right John, she got a taste for award shows this year and maybe they still have something to prove to the 'Rock' critics for once and for all !!

Wouldnt it be great to see them eat their words. If only they would perform few numbers

[abbafanglosuk]

They have nothing left to prove to the rest ot the world Shay after Mamma Mia - which I guess did the trick!

[huviretki1]

I mean, out OF date, of course. :D

[huviretki1]

The song is never out date. :)

[2Shaymcn]

True class never dates !! thanks
