  • A fantastic performance by Kylie... though sadly of one of Abba's dodgier songs. She definitely brings a bit of life to it though; the original is kind of creepy.

  • joy in music!

  • I adore her

    

  • Sorry Kylie. You're nothing like Annfrid and Agneta.

  • @TheRuttan Of course, no one will ever sing this song like Frida did. Besides, Agnetha and Frida were great singers; Kylie is just a whore

  • @TheRuttan she never claimed she was. Kylie was given the amazing opportunity to sing with Benny form Abba at a massive Abba tribute concert. As a huge Abba fan it was a once in a lifetime chance, something Im sure she wouldn't have missed for the world. Far too much negativity on youtube!

  • Better than original !!!

  • This is lovely...what a prevliage sitting to Benny from abba....she done this song justice,lovely under rated Abba song,frida vocal.

  • thumbs up if you came here coz of a link on twitter

  • Undeniably magnificent.

  • Wow!!!!!! amazing what a voice!

  • better than the original, she could sing opera.

  • Horrible....je déteste et ça ne rend pas hommage au groupe et à la chanson...dommage car elle, je l'aime bien...

  • I was there - it was a wonderful night and heart rendering performance.

  • Bravo to Kylie for picking this excellent but so often overlooked ABBA hit!

  • It's wierdly good when two artists that you appreciate end up comming together... I felt the same way when Madonna did 'Hung Up', it feels like it's not true.

  • ABBA and Kylie - Two adored and loved music acts and both perennial. Both gay icons. Forever etched in the gay DNA. XOX

  • i hardly ever accept other artists versions of ABBA songs, but this is really good. benny and kylie created an unforgettable duo. the original of 'when all is said and done" by ABBA was actually too tense and too loud, one of very few ABBA songs that I always wished they had recorded differently.

  • Lovely version, nice rendition with the new updated lyrics. This should have been a UK single taking ABBA back to number one, but we know it won't happen. Great to see ABBA Gold back in the album charts again!

  • i love this slow version, wish to hear that from frida one more, but kylie did really a good job. stunning performance.

  • Wow! I love this :o)

  • Kylie is so amazing!!!! Shes so beauitful and lovely!

  • must be hard to play piano with a boner

  • Beautifully done. I must confess though I never cared for Bjorn's 'upbeat' revamped lyric. The original is so much more poignant. Perhaps ABBA's most genine and moving track.

    The missing lines:

    It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor

    How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more

    We're still striving for the sky

    No taste for humble pie

    Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun

    Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

  • I love so much !!!!!!!!!!!

    from Argentina.

  • FUCK YOU JAMIE GRIFTER!MY MOTHER IS 45 AND KYLIE SOMEHOW LOOKS OLDER THAN SHE-AND MY MOTHER HAS NEVER COME WITHIN A YARD OF A BOTOX-FILLED NEEDLE! K YLIE LOOKS AMAZIN FOR HER AGE WITHOUT BOTOX

  • Lovely, lovely version. I agree with most posts here that she sings it really well. Yes, she has a very specific tone to her voice that you may or may not like, but she sings it from the heart, in tune, and adds a nice personal touch. Well done Kylie, I say! Also, how interesting to hear her sing the alternative lyrics for the second verse! Thanks for posting this.

  • Thanks for this post! Very touching in the beginning of the song but it falls flat after the first verse. They should have added the beat like in the original ABBA track.

  • Nice performance Kylie!! But too much Botox

  • soprano 5 octave sh s the queen of pop

  • That was just beautiful.

    Not being insulting, but I just thought it was funny that Benny looked like a dirty old man staring at the hot young chick.

  • "young" chick?

    LoL

  • Okay, "youngER" chick.

    Let's be honest, she doesn't look anywhere near her age. I'll bet bartenders still ask her for ID before serving her.

  • you bet.

  • HAHA! I agree. Especially at 1.16 hahaha.

  • oh God... I like Kylie as a pop artist but she shouldn't be singing ABBA... I mean, her voice is mediocre...

  • You may think she has a mediocre voice, but she pulled this song off beautifully.

  • No! She has a tremendous voice!

  • Comment removed

  • i'll bet your voice is shitter than kylie's!!

  • kylie is amazing...what a brilliant performance!

  • Her voice has much improved and I find this version very touching and vocally she holds it together. The applause at the says it all- even though its for Benny as well, she did well. She earnt a few fans that night I think. She looks great too!

  • i do not understand how anyone can suggest this to be a xmas single. that is really in bad taste. this song is about a couple separating after many years of marriage. how the hell can people sing this and feel happy at xma. Jesus was born at xmas and it is a time of celebration and reborth, not divorce.

  • The man who is playing the piano isn't Benny,is he?

  • Yep he is

  • OK, we get it. You are mentally ill. Get some help and leave us alone! You may be the most desperate troll EVER!

  • i know where you live !

  • Okay ABBA fans, they are nominees for 2010 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. How about flooding RnR HoF web site with why ABBA should be there. If they don't make it, it maybe years before they're nominated again. Now's your chance to speak up, do it.

    pin

  • I´ve been there and it gives me thrills everytime I listen to the song again! I love it, it was the highlight of the evening! She is a shining diamond! both of them seem to be soooo happy during that performance, I love Kylies voice with the song, it´s brilliant!

  • I have now looked up the lyrics to the Abba version of this song,and I note that Kylie sings a new second verse and then misses off part of the original second verse. Can anyone tell me the lyrics as sung by Kylie and give me a reason for her altering them,unless Benny and Bjorn added extra lyrics at a later date,or maybe Benny did for Kylie's version.. YouTube sound quality at this concert is quite poor and I can't catch all the words she is singing in the extra verse. Xmas single hopefully!

  • Bjorn wrote the new lyrics and Benny wrote this new arrangement for the film Mamma Mia!

  • Comment removed

  • Kylie sing the new version from Mamma Mia the show/film -

    "It's been there in my dreams,

    the scene I see unfold

    Two at last, flesh and blood, to cherish and to hold

    Jealous fools will suffer, yes, I know and I confess:

    Once I lost my way when something good had just begun

    Lesson learned - it's history - when all is said and done"

    Implies that it's not really over - as per the show/film? - whereas with the original song it was...

  • This lovely version by Kylie and Benny is far better than the overproduced choir-like sound of the original version. It was never a song by ABBA that I particularly liked but I hear now in Kylie's version what a beautifully worded and melodic song it is. I would be pleased if Kylie releases this as a single or includes a similar sparse version on her next album. This song and version was the highlight of the tribute concert for me and well worth waiting quite awhile to hear.

  • you kidding ? this was one of my favourite songs! I remember when i first heard it as a child i thought something was very wrong, then shortly afterwards they broke up. i remember crying my eyes out that evening on the way home in the car. something great had come to and end.

  • Really? When did you hear that announcement that "they broke up". Becuase no such "announcement" was ever made. They were, and still are, on "a break"!

  • "Jealous fools will suffer, yes I know" she sings. She's right. If you dont like her voice, its too bad. Get a life and do not for a second think that youre somehow better than Kylie. You are just some pathetic losers who dedicate their lives to saying mean things about others. ABBA is one of the greatest bands of all time, and the genious people who wrote their music (benny and björn) should be appreciated! But they also choose kylie to sing this! They called Kylie to ask if she wanted to sing

  • LOL. Cheapjack is just a Kylie fan with an excessive inclination towards trolling... sadly you can't choose your fans.

  • I wish I had a large mincing machine, when I see this person. what on earth a genius like Benny Anderson is doing with her, I don't know.

  • We will not progress until it is generally accepted that Kylie Minogue is a talentless little grot!

  • kylie minogue  , diosa !!! quien mejor que ella para cantar las canciones de abba!!!!

  • Nobody told me that she was great. I discovered by myself that she's an excellent artist and singer.

  • RESPECT KYLIE-ROMANIA LOVES YOU!!!!

  • Some vvery nasty comments here. Her voice is perfect.

  • i didnt like this version. I dont like her voice but I respect her work. Not all songs are made for everybody to sing them.

  • Kylie looks and sounds amazing- perhaps one of the best vocals I have heard her sing live. Kylie deserves much more respect than she gets for being a fantastic singer, live performer and interpreter of great songs

  • a true legend.. my icon. xx

  • shes such an awsum singer love it

  • I don't think she would have been able to successfully tour all the places she does without being able to sing a note.

    It's funny how the girl spent the first 5 years of her career with people claiming she couldn't sing only to have proved them wrong by touring the world and singing ABBA songs LIVE. ABBA songs ain't easy to sing and you have to be able to sing more than a few notes to be able to do it. I've put it simply for you in case you don't understand.

  • couldnt agree more with everything you said. nobody could skim through 20+ years as a singer, if they couldnt sing. kylie is a great performer, shes amazing live as both the 100s of 1000s of people whove seen her will testify, and even the critics of 'serious' music magazines know shes a a fantastic live artist! just take a look at her peers madonna, and britney who constantly mime during concerts! you have a right not to like kylie, but nobody can argue with that performance.. she kicked ass :)

  • Stunningly beautiful. Goosebumps.

  • i love her she is the best singer ever!! :D

  • If what some of you say is true I don't think she done half bloody bad for someone who is talentless. You're all entitled to your own opinions but but isnt there anything else you can do with your time instead of watching a Kylie video, going to the trouble of typing a derogatory message (just for attention or a reaction) if you can't stand her? Mad really???

  • love kylie

  • erm if u dont like it dont listen erm there are millions of people that love her so just let people make up there minds if they like her cus if u ask people prettty much everone does only people that make bad coments on kylies vids are sados that find the vids cus they have boring lives haha

  • I'm a singer with near near perfect pitch and she didn't miss a note??? I don't get it when people say she can't sing. The girl doesn't have the strongest or richest voice in the world but she can sing. maybe it is you that is tone deaf. She may not have the tone of voice whitney has but her range goes from an alto right up to suprano. Quite formidable for someone so small.

  • @iceHouseProject Finally!!! I get so tired of all the comments left on youtube about how Kylie sucks, when in actuality she clearly doesn't. Thanks

  • @iceHouseProject

    Kylie has a beautiful voice I first heard her sing the last week of 2006 and I have been listening to her sing ever since.

    I must have 13 albums from her that is more than anyone else I listen to including The Beatles, and I like all the songs! That is something I find very unusual, and very special there is no doubt in my mind that she can sing and sing beautifully!

  • That CHEAPJACK is such a creep....piss off!!!!

  • Poor sad troll. cheapjack. Take a hint. We all think you are both an ass and a moron. But here! Here's your bit of attention for the day. Lap it up!

  • Oh how cute she is and so wonderful to see them both together. She is really singing good...

  • it's funny to see Kylie and Benny to sing a very personal song (for him).

    Anyway, nice version.

  • Kylie is the absolute, most gracious person in pop. Love her til the day I die.

  • People get a life! Why insult Kylie Minoge? If you dislike her so much then why check this video to begin with?

    I love ABBA and I think Kylie did a great job!

  • I don't usually entertain people who blast people on here because I'd insult them, but they're not bright enough to notice and all they want is a reaction but for all those people who are slagging her off, grow up

  • You would have to be the biggest idiot... i'm sure they'd hate you to if they met you... But they don't hang with under educated wankers! If your language is anything to go by... you obviously didn't finish school! Go back into the hole you climb out of!!!

  • She's so beautiful!

  • when all is said and done this is sheer brilliance!

  • PARLOPHONE sucks. they never release her best songs. she has a bunch of b-sides that didnt made it to the X album. and they're super amazing.

  • FUCKING AWESOME!!! anyone who says kylie cant sing is way off the mark. she's better live than most singers, and is always mesmerising

  • This is the best i've heard kylie sing in years!! Love it.

  • yes i have but they dont take notice of 1 that wyh i have stared the campaign

  • Kylie's great! Do you mean all that or are you just trolling

  • When all is said and done... I love it! kylie kinda made me a fan of some abba songs.....

  • Just stunning! She should release it as a single!

  • What can I say.Love ABBA,love Kylie, just beautiful!

  • Woow wow wow wow, amazing !!!

    Kylie has the most beautiful voice in the world !!!

    She's the Queen

  • Kylie has definetly proved that she is the queen of pop, does my head in when people slate her all the time. she's gorgeous in this video and always sings beautifully. Never stop Kylie, We love you!!!

  • Breathtaking.

  • Amazing performance for Kylie. Truely beautiful!

  • Only thing missing from the concert was the girls.They could have done a video message or Frida could have come on stage at the end.Agnetha may hate flying but is far less reclusive these days and a video message from them both would have topped a fantastic day.

  • This is my all time favourite Abba song. I do prefer the passion and intensity of Frida's version - she was singing with a broken heart, after all - but I think Kylie did this justice. Certainly the highlight of Sunday night's show.

  • Like you'd know! Ugh! Loser!!!

  • No one can match the intensity of Frida's version. This was a very nice version thou and we'll never see Frida sing it live again so I'm happy with this. So nice job Kylie.

  • Wow! Love this version and Kylie sounds amazing! And she's looking as beautiful as in LIGHT YEARS time! x

  • ABBA THE BEST GROUP EVER!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now, looks like some the comments here are rather controversial. Well, good debate is always healthy.

    I never really liked the arrangement of ABBA's 'When All Is Said And Done' - the backing was too harsh for the lyrics and it is one of only a handful of ABBA songs that I could define as medoicre.

    This slower, gentle, ballade style works beautifully as does the new middle verse.

    I would love to see this style of 'WAISAD' released on CD. The song, in this style, and by Kylie, deserves it.

  • I agree TOTALLY on this. I could never get into the original of the song. I found the production too cold and clinical, and Frida's vocal too heavily processed/filtered. This stripped down version for me has finally made me appreciate the song on it's own merits. It is a much more warm, tender and wistful interpretation. It was a rare example of ABBA not getting it right first time.

  • sorry monkey, ABBA have sold more than the Beetles. Plus they still do.

  • It was a magical night ! Great performance !!

    Kylie looks so beautiful !! She is a goddess !!!!!

  • brava e bella kylie bella voce ma non è Frida!!

  • Ma che c'entra questo. Kylie grazie di esistere! Sei grande!

  • sad you never been in my arms, little flower..

  • I wish you get alone into a room full of people who read your comment and wish to show you what kind of entity you are.

  • Why the Eff We didnt fly over to see this, I really dont know.....but thank U for UTube...

  • Good done, a dream come true for Kylie, sing with the genius Benny at the piano.

  • This wasn't on TV so it must be getting kept back for a DVD release - gonna be huge! not just this bit with the Goddess Kylie, but the whole shebang!

  • this is magical I wish i was there. benny is a legend to me and kylie is great i love her so much

  • where did that extra verse come from? i don't remember that one!!

    love kylies' cover of this amazing song!

  • She's an angel !

  • I Was There Right At The Front And Kylie Sounded And Looked Amazing Her Voice Is Beautiful <3

  • almost cried : ) xxx love you sooooo much kyles woooooo !!!! this song is so cute mannn :D

  • Love Kylie, shame it wasn't on television but a great video. Well done

  • oh dear good she is doing an amazing job with it!!!! gives me goosebumps

  • abba the best group ever!!! abba make me happy

  • Nope THE BEATLES ARE! And any history book on the history of pop/rock music will back me up. The fact that ABBA could only get "C" list celebs/artists to sing at their concert speaks volumes to me - I mean Jason Donavon ? He's been a "has been" for 18 years now - could Abba not do better than that/him?

  • It might have had something to do with the fact the BBC were behind this production and probably didn't have the budget for an all-star line up.

  • WOW!

  • Caught the end of the show on Sunday night. This song is one of Abbas best and Kylie does a good job of it....

  • i love her & i love this version of the song

  • Sounds shrill. Is this a tribute to the "Mama Mia" soundtrack?

    Is she performing this on her re-introduction to the US & Canada Tour?

    **Watching Benny.. is he feeding her the lyrics?.

  • This song was just there for the ABBA Tribute in Hyde Park (Mama Mia also as Benny is one of the producers for the movie and not sure but I think the show too) And this song will not be part of the tour in US/Canada

  • she's got a funny voice but I love her...!

  • Fab-U-Lus!!!

    Come one B&B, write some material for Kylie!

  • i just happened to turn on BBCradio2 last night, halfway through the concert, i totally forgot it was on ... Why oh why didnt the BBC show this live on BBC1or 2, It would have got a MASSIVE audience!

    I heard Benny and Bjorn say when they heard the crowd singing Chiquita, they had tears in thier eyes .. Praise indeed!!

  • Such an incredible moment for Kylie!! She was so inspired by ABBA as a kid and this performance was just heavenly!! She outshone everyone!!

  • My 2 all time favorites! I can die happy... what a performance! Indeed, PURE MAGIC!

  • I love Kylie, this was just beautiful
