Madonna did not steal you fucking idiots. ABBA gave her permission to use that 10 second synth, and she's the only artist they've ever allowed to use their work. Get your facts straight.
This is what music is about!! .. what a performance of the whole gang!!! .. ABBA is unbeatable and Agnetha is as usual a phenomenon!! .. she always gives 100% .. and that!! ladies and gentlemen, is 100% from one of the best singers of all time!!
Who listens to this shit? U guys know there's a band called Judas Priest that makes music that actually doesn't suck? P.S. I'm 13 n I know what good music is.
I think Björn was right when he said that it wouldn't be the same like in the seventies when they get together for a concert today. We should keep these unbelievable impressions safe.
Haha i was reading a book called "The Enemy" and there was this one dude listing to this band and i had my ipod in my hand so im like "Why not....?" and looked them up :p not bad!
If it was only about looks, but then there is voice... both Agnetha and AnniFrid were fantastic, together creating the famous "third voice" But listen to AnniFrid in Andante Andante (the most beautiful love song ever made/sung, on Youtube, please listen!) and "When all is said and done", don´t to mention " I have a dream" and "Cassandra" You don´t sing with your looks....
Don´t misunderstand madonna is not bad, she is very good but ABBA is just the really sound and charme of the 70th and one of the best groups ever. :0)
If I got one wish, I will be transported back to 1979 to see this fantastic concert and have at least one date with Agnetha, the most incredible and beautiful woman of all time!!
By the way, In April 2006, Universal Music Group announced that ABBA have sold 370 million records!! .. they have since continued to sell between 2-5 million a year, which today makes them to the fourth best-selling music artists in the history after M Jackson, E Presley and The Beatles (no Madonna) .. :)
OMG!! Agnetha is the only woman who has tempted me to cheat on my wife. (Of 36 years). What a fox!!(Funny thing, my wife's maiden name is Fox. Is there a pattern here)??? =Stefan=
Fantastic! Love Agnetha, Frida is so pretty and sexy as well, both great singers. Shame about the dance routine though, IMHO. Their choreographer sucks.
i hate saying this but i came here from the madonna video. . . Madonna is cool tho cuz now i know of this. eff u madonna haterz, she did a good thing cuz she brought me here ha

"seriously,i don't understand the excitement about this comment. is "waterloo" a good song? nah,actually not,the melody sucks." take a chance on me"? nope,same here. "the winner takes it all"? not really. "mamma mia"? ok,maybe...
@rostkehlchen hey dude ! i don't know any of those songs you told me ^^ i really appreciated what you said :D gimmi is the only song i know, i heard it a while ago and just discovred the group ^^
Two questions. Did Madonna get permission to use this intro in Hung Up? Were Abba offered a "ridiculous" amont of money for one hundred concerts in a year? Benny Andersson, in a Swedish talkshow two weeks ago, answered. They used to turn down any request to use ABBA songs, but Madonna wrote a very personal letter and sent it with her personal assistant to Bjorn and Benny and did get the permission! The concert offer was made but turned down by all the ABBA members. When all is said and done...
@nyhamnen Madonna did get permission. "We get so many requests from people wanting to use our tracks but we normally say 'no'. This is only the second time we have given permission. We said 'yes' this time because we admire Madonna so much and always have done. She has got guts and has been around for 21 years. That is not bad going." That was back in 2005.
why the hell i can not find any ABBA's song in any top 10 best songs of all time!...Sadness,love,hapiness,all emotions are in their songs,lyrics...screw this modern world,fans,music!ABBA FOREVER!Respect to them from Vietnam
I'm 21 but to me abba is one of the most talented groups ever! They sang with passion, love. And most of it all, they really can sing LIVE! One of the talents most of the new artists don't have. They're great when you hear the song on the radio, but when you hear them live... and I'm not saying they all suck now(like Adele who has a great voice), but A LOT of them
@The3rdHiltonSister Actually it was Madonna who took the starting tune to this song in her single Hung up. And besides, most of those artists you mentioned weren't even around when abba was popular (which they still are)
as a musician and a producer i can say that abba is at the same level as the beatles.....many chords,,,,,,,and oh yeah i am stil verry much a fan of innifrid,,,,,,,,,she is soo sexxy
today's teenagers are soo unlucky..poor them,they have to grow up with justin bieber,selena gomez and the other shits..i feel myself so lucky,because i became a mature with those kind of songs.
Now, THAT is one live performance by a legendary band! For those people who doubt ABBA's ability to perform live: just watch the whole Wembley show or the ABBA movie....just watch!
The more you have to shake your ass to people pay atention to you, means that less talent you have, for example the above cited lady gaga and Rhiana...
@kainthevampireduck Abba are not bigger than Madonna. Granted that ABBA are said to have sold "370 milion records worldwide and Madonna "over 300 million" (so that figure could go quite far above that amount) but Madonna's global chart hits are far more numerous than ABBA's. Even thoug she came after them, ABBA respect her status in the music world. Those are facts not just opinions.

Had Madonna's career been over by 1992.. the "statistics" would be different. Comparing chart success to a group who released original material for 10 years to a woman who released album after album for 3 decades is useless. The totals will be different, Regardless, the ABBA girls could outsing Madonna in their sleep... with that said, I like Madonna.

with great pleasure. It does not matter how many records who sold.
ABBA worked only with original material they Idols like The Beatles.
And who is Madonna??? Business woman who sold plenty records,
because living in US and was duly promoted. May be you really consider
her as great female singer. Probably I'm simply deaf or you.
