BENNY & BJORN FROM ABBA - UK TV INTERVIEW 2nd JULY 2008 ABOUT MAMMA MIA THE MOVIE

[1FineYoungCannibal]

Come on Bjorn, white socks with sandals??!!

[permanentvacation26]

I hate being Scottish sometimes. Amazing they could understand her... Do they even realise what a "hen night" is?!?!

[serundipity]

These guys are amazing. Fory five years writing songs together, still going, still having a lot of fun working.

[cgek1996]

OMG Bjorn socks and sandels

[susbl1]

Så bra...:)

[Konni62]

I realy like scotch accent but Lorraine's is awful

[MoveOverCasanova]

she is cute, has heavenly tits and she is completely nuts -- wonderful girl, and her accent is incredible! where is she supposedly from?

[logolou]

@MoveOverCasanova Lorraine Kelly is from Glasgow. We all love her, she IS nuts.

[jm031962]

sometimes you just have to know when to shut up> A pro interviewer should be able to do this, obviously this wasn't the case here! What a chatterbox.

Nice to hear a few words from the ABBA boys anyway.

[Jonneymarket]

the "created with an.... blah blah blah" thing get on my nerves.

[tepporocks]

Yes, she is talking A LOT, but I think it's all right, since us Swedes can be quite reserved in a situation like this.

I think the boys might actually have felt relieved that they didn't have to chat so much.

Also, in the 90's, both Björn and Benny looked almost alike. Round, robust figures with silver hair and beards. Now, suddenly Björn looks 20 years younger! WTF???

[MrChickyBee]

Lorraine I really like you but you should really let the guys speak....they are really BIG names!!!

[derequwc]

Crazy interview! The woman doing the interview was doing most of the talking more than Bjorn and Benny, she might as well be interviewing herself! This is what I hate when the interviewer is more talkative than the one/s she is interviewing!

[SeiShoenagon]

@derequwc

Yeah..

Looks like Benny was trying to comment all the time she was rambling but couldn't.

And even when the guests managed to say more than a couple of words in a sequence, she kept interrupting or talking along.

Really irritating.

[soad829]

puta madre...porque estan separados!!! que no mamen

[Diotallevi73]

wonderful interview, thanks for sharing!

[songsungu]

this is wonderful. as the biggest abba fan in america that ever lived, i am so vindicated. a valuable archive

[primerib01]

Benny & Bjorn ! Make another movie please! How about "Under Attack" and use Anni-Frid & Agnetha as characters stalked by grey aliens? A musical Sci-Fi in which Ulvaeus - the greek God - swoops down to rescue them, or at least tries, and the fun begins! Or a humorous pyscho-drama where all of you play crazy roles. What the Hell - have some fun - together !! We all live a microsecond then we die. Let's clown around more. x)

[gustavojoris]

WONDERFUL!!!

[warwolf193]

lol "Mamma Mia!2 here we go again"

[lupin626]

Please MAKE ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!!

[qxw66]

No, the songs in the movie were much worse than the original ABBA version

[buntepsucks]

shoot that fucken host.

[Jagerebecca]

its`s really fun to se how famouse abba actually is outside sweden as well:)

/sweden

[TrueNegro]

y does this woman speak i watch this to see benny and bjorn and i get a woman from northern england

[fanmael1]

The host needs to SHUT HER FUCKEN HOLE and let the boys talk.

[jon3m2007]

Loraine you IDIOT - bottom righ should have been BLONDE rinse DOOO!

[producermattpop]

Am I the only one who thinks Benny and Bjorn have squandered the ABBA legacy by allowing over-eager musical "stars" around the world to perform their songs in what is little more than a Christmas panto? Do die-hard ABBA fans actually enjoy Mama Mia: The Musical?

[lw4nw]

to be honest, i don't think the movie mamma mia does Abba any justice. No one can ever replace Abba, and whenever i hear other people singing their songs, it just never sounds quite the same. There is only one Abba!

[TrueNegro]

no i am a big fan i love abba and pierce brosnan singing these great songs is terrible

[woutch]

I HATE the Mamma Mia! stage show, as do a great proportion of the hard-core ABBA fans, but I do (for some reason) like the film. I think it's because Benny was so heavily ivolved in the way the film score sounded. It does sound rich, but the stage show is a panto - as you say! I'd have preffered ABBACADABRA get a revival instead of Mamma-bloddy-Mia!

nevermind, it's now in the past and will be left to play itself out now while the REAL ABBA fanscan enjoy BAO! and Kristina.

[producermattpop]

So, looks I am not alone in this. Thanks for your reaction :)

[stevedow67]

Lorraine Kelly is fab? She can't stop giggling and talking over them. So unprofessional. The guys must be thinking: do we still have to put up with dweebs like this? Why does she think it's all about her, completely wasting the opportunity?

[nigelwindsor]

poor guys can't get a word in edgeways

[stripetuffy]

is'nt that the truth what a blabbermouth...

[jfcjake]

I do not know anyone who has seen the movie that did not enjoy it.Abba forever!

[MountAthos]

The only enduring marriage from this band is Bjorn + Benny! :)

It's kind to see them straining to say nice things about the movie, when they know how horrifically atrocious the singing was hahaha

[Felixstryker]

I saw Bjorn Again (The Official Abba Tribute Band) perform at the Royal Theatre in Victoria BC about 9 Years ago and they were so Identical to ABBA themselves that I or the audience litteraly could not tell the difference. It was the Best Live show I have ever seen. However Bjorn Again got so popular they actually created a North American Line up with different members that were not good at all. However if the Orginal Line Up ever comes to town again I will be the first one with a ticket.

[khatzciron]

I love this movie, althou the story is so simple, but adding the songs of abba makes it so wonderful....

so i say- "abba, thank you for the music!!!!"

[pancakesryummy]

Oh I loved the movie, it's so lighthearted and funny and there is a lot of eye candy for the girls in it!! Benny and Bjorn have done us proud.

[LadyLyngstad77]

I love them! Only wish the girls were there too :( Lorraine Kelly is fab, she seems so lovely! Go on the Scots!

[Skywatcher17]

Hahaha, I love B&B.

[jeevanjnath]

[ABBACRAZY]

The Hosts name is:

Lorraine Kelly.

Cheers

Gareth

[saloabad]

[aleq3]

Bjorn: "Benny was a Greek fisherman, who happens to have a piano on the boat."

Bjorn: "At the end i am a Greek god."

Benny: "He's Aphrodite"

Lol, those guys still crack me up!
