Love this performance :)

I think this argument is quite amusing.. ABBA went on to be one of the biggest pop groups of all time BECAUSE OF THIS SONG... their music is still popular today (movies, book etc.) and Waterloo makes everyone get up and dance at Mamma Mia (The Musical) hmmmm i think they did something right here!

btw id never even heard of that italian girl until now... thats how 'amazing' it was...

@EcoleLibre :Ah oui,c est vrai,jann.

@SuperJohnnykay La grande majorité des Européens ne comprennent pas l'anglais chanté dans une chanson inédite (ça va trop vite), ces Suédois auraient aussi bien pu chanter en suédois.

Mais bon, je suis d'accord il y a un snobisme de l'anglais (chez les chanteurs et dans les jurys).

Ps : I quote a comment by a mate on here about this  overrated ordinary schlager : " I hate this song . Like Donald Duck had composed a new song " which explains exactly my feelings .-)

went on to be ABBA because of this mediocre , schlager little song , to tell such a bizarre idiocy you've got to be a blind fan of ABBA or a total ignorant of music .

The truth is that ABBA won someway a contest that they didn't deserve since many of us know Gigliola Cinquetti and her sublime song is the true winner of 1974 ESC !!

Waterloo is not one of Abba's best songs , they made much better music than this flat ordinary fake rock and honestly this song is never mentioned or recalled by people when asked of ABBA , they remember the schlager of Mamma mia , SOS, The winner takes it all,

Take a chance on me but almost never Waterloo .

To be fair Gigliola Cinquetti's song was much better than Waterloo by many aspects, music, lyrics , performance ....and only a clueless chatter can tell the utter nonsense that ABBA

@100vegasnites

Agree with you but, the song is not a masterpiece (exately like nel blu dipinto di blu )

@zimbozombo :Zim,to answer your question,Eurovision from the 50s thru to the year before this one was sing in your own language and promote your countries culture.The organizes got lax between 74 and the early 80s and the Abba guys jumped at the opportunity to sing in English,afterall only 7 mill swedes in the world at this time.They brought back the your own language for a while,then said English is ok if you want so now we get German girls buying new undahhwear far yew,daye blleww.Is not gutt
