ABBA "Super Trouper" | Luke Reacts

[@marcodebrabander5751]

Incredible how much they give to the world with their unique songs and sound

[@jrdube]

I saw them LIVE in Boston back in '79. My first concert, I was just 18. Their voices on their new album are STILL AWESOME!!!

[@jerrycote659]

Wow! October 3, 1979, the Music Hall in Boston. I was at that ABBA concert too! I was 18 as well! What are the odds?

[@user-fb1hg3nd5v]

Anni-Frid is great singer and stanning woman. She has so beautiful green eyes!

[@TheFridaFan]

I love this song and I love Frida's big eighties turtle neck sweater. If I could get one of those I'd wear the heck out of it

[@wayne_twentyfive]

LOL .. Love your comment !😅 .. Yep, Frida looks absolutely adorable wearing that sweater .. Makes me want to reach out and give her a big warm hug 🤗❤

[@TheFridaFan]

@@wayne_twentyfive It's very warm and Christmassy looking. I love it!

[@wayne_twentyfive]

@@TheFridaFan Totally ! 🎄😊

[@jrdube]

When I was little, my Mom knitted a turtle-neck sweater....I HATED it because I was teased about it. Right now, I'd give anything to have it again.

[@TheFridaFan]

@@jrdube Oh, that's sweet. I'm sorry you don't have it anymore. Maybe you can find something similar?

[@Problembeing]

This was one of three albums I bought when I was five years old in 1980. This song was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before and it was really exciting to my little mind 😊

ABBA rules

[@darrenbertram7289]

Yes, Frida's eyes are a lovely green 😎

[@melodiesofmylife5805]

This is wonderful. It was number 1 in Brazil in 1981!!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Even in Brazil ?wow,interesting info.

[@melodiesofmylife5805]

@@christianoazzuro6711 Yes, even in Brazil. The album was one of the most successful at that time. But the biggest ABBA hits in Brazil are "Fernando" followed by "Chiquitita, The winner takes it all and I have a dream". They are recovered by many Brazialian singers!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

@@melodiesofmylife5805 That's great,wow so proud.Some years ago i learned that their 2 last albums ST and The Visitors were huge best selling albums also in Potugal back in '81/'82 which was pretty good for a country with its own domestic artists and special culture,so is Brazil.

[@melodiesofmylife5805]

@@christianoazzuro6711 In Brazil they were /are much popular than many other famous band! These songs I`m gonna mention were big hits and most of them were recovered by local artists: "Fernando, Chiquitia, the winner takes it all, Super trouper, Lay all your love on me, Andante andante, I have a dream, Mama mia, SOS, I do i do do.., Happy Hawaii, Dancing queen, Money money money, Hasta manana, Honey honey, Take a chance on me, One man one womana, Eagle, One of us, Ring ringl.." all of these were hugely played on the radio at that time. I thinks these were their biggest hits in Brazil. Strangely "Thank you for the music, Voulez-vous and Does your mother know" weren`t big hits here! Oh I forgot to say! "Gimme gimme gimme and Summer night city" were also big hits!

[@melodiesofmylife5805]

@@christianoazzuro6711 for you to have an idea of how great was the band in Brazil I`ll list some songs that had a Brazilan version of their songs:
1 Hasta Mañana
2 Honey honey
3 Dance while the music still goes on
4 SOS
5 I do I do I do...
6 Fernando (several versions)
7 Ring ring
8 Dancing queen
9 Knowing me knowin you (other big hit here)
10 Eagle
11 Thank you for the music (it wasnt a big hit but it had a version)
12 Gimme gimme gimme
13 Chiquitita
14 I have a dream
15 Super trouper
16 Andante andante
17 the winner takes it all
18 Me and i
19 On and on and on
These were the songs I remember listening to in Portuguse

[@alexioverdo5225]

1980...Best Xmas of my life as a child when this came out....until next time that was 4 decades later with ABBA"s new music again 2021 when Voyage came out.Felt like a carefree child for once more..This is Frida's shining moment here through a heavenly song and melody.A pure blissful masterpiece made in heaven

[@terrykemp1876]

You’ve described exactly how I felt when voyage came out. It was an absolute treat…

[@darrenbertram7289]

Those coloured lights always take me back to the Christmas of 1980 🤩🤩

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Great stuff, Luke ! .. Definitely the best reaction I've seen to this fantastic ABBA song .. You've perfectly described the song's meaning, while also picking out all the wonderful vocal components and highlighting the magical vibe that is projected throughout .. Totally enjoying your ABBA journey !

[@DegrassiInstantStar]

One of my faves from ABBA!

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

Another wonderful song from ABBA, it's great to see Frida on lead vocals, she kills the vocals here.

[@helixmoore7636]

Listen to her on the Visitors. She's mind blowingly good

[@juanita6479]

I like Frida's voice very much it's very peaceful, and even if I always say the same on the videos of this band but the harmonies of the girls are astonishing. Also Frida very fashionable here, I like her white dress more than Agnetha's and that sweater looks very warm for the cold days I have here in my city right now 🤗🤗

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Hey Juanita .. While I've always been a huge Agnetha fan, I totally agree with everything you've said here. Cheers !

[@juanita6479]

@@wayne_twentyfive Oh I like both voices, Frida's is very peaceful, you can only close your eyes and enjoy, and Agnetha's transmits a feeling of tenderness, it's cristal clear and strong at the same time, each one is unique and different from the other, but when they blend together the result is an angelic harmony, and those of the boys also have their appeal. No doubt I am a fan of the group in general. Take care!!!

[@wayne_twentyfive]

@@juanita6479 That's a great description of their voices, and again you are spot on in everything you've said .. Like you, I too am a big fan of the group in general .. Have a great day !

[@user-fb1hg3nd5v]

Frida very fashionable and beautiful always!!! I don't like some outfits Agneta аnd her white dress too.

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

It's a magical song. Very singable also.
Since I'm not that good at singing, "suppa-ppa, trouppa-ppa" is enough for me... 😅
Take care, Luke
❤️🇨🇱👍

[@alexioverdo5225]

Next time you may try 'KIsses of fire/LOVERS' dual set from their famous appearence in 'ABBA in Switzerland BBC' '79 special.Very popular to Abba fans.Both girls look smokie hot babes there.Btw Kate Bush and Roxy Music were guest appearences too.

[@chelseacharger]

Last time I was at the 'Voyage' concert, a few weeks back, the audience had a big impromptu sing-along with Super Trouper in the concourse area afterwards. Very catchy.

[@frankennyg1]

Love your reactions!!! Why the shirt today…was it really cold??? 😉
Love ABBA. Have you seen their musical Mamma Mia in person? It’s such a fun show with all their songs and a great a story!

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Love Frida. Here's a mostly live but enhanced performance clip from Dick Cavett Meets ABBA. "ABBA - Super Trouper Live" czcams.com/video/XzeTRy5lby8/video.html

[@badlongon525]

I love your shirt and your heart. You're So goodlooking today. 😊

[@ChuckHackney]

So many elements of classical music from the 1600's-1800's. Baroque comes alive in modern times!

[@markr1574]

what a lovely smile you have

[@riaanbehr7976]

Such a classic! The circus set and people also featured in the video for Happy new year 🎉🎊🎉

[@popcult]

Your fresh healthy look matches ABBA's!

[@jamessayers4046]

They wanted to film the video in Piccadilly circus in London but were denied permission due to live animals there together with crowd control of the fans, hence filmed in a studio in Stockholm. Also, from what I understand, the song was written in 1 day to complete the album!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

The song was a last moment ispiration while the album was nearly ready for release.But suddenly this song happened and also gave its title to the whole album replacing another track.Luckily a fine decision.

[@Lisa-M]

@@christianoazzuro6711 That other track was Put On Your White Sombrero I think. I hope for a reaction to it, too. I love this song. 😍

[@christianoazzuro6711]

A fab song from Abba's fantastic ST album that was coated with a honeyfied maturity and was also the band's 6th n01 LP out of 10 in the UK.I got some beautiful childhood memories blended with this song. At the time popular UK mag for youngsters "Smash hits' gave the album an awful humiliating review (as usual) and also hinted its future artistic and commercial failure, but who cared.....Even before released there was a record of an upreceded 1 million pre-saled copies there also making it in the World record Guiness book.It rocketed straight at N01 for 9 weeks and also became the best seller album of the year in less than 2 months(early Nov.-Dec. 1980)!

[@lees1328]

You need to watch the Mama Mia films. They are based are based around the ABBA music and I believe was produced by Benny and Bjorn. Great films and amazing music.

[@brucecoleman5379]

That Lighting instrument at the beginning is Called a Super Trouper

[@anthonysmith8800]

Insanely catchy song, immaculately sang and produced (as always l).
Super Trouper was the 4th best selling single in the UK in 1980 and the best selling album that year, having been no.1 for 9 weeks

[@andrewmcdonald6987]

Abba have magic.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

You gotta do some of their live stuff.Start up from their glorious 1977 tour!

[@armenbabayan9297]

Dude,i'm absolutely agree with you!Well done!

[@Earcandy73]

Super Trooper was the name of the company that made the spotlight 🙂

[@anthonysmith8800]

Correction. It's the name of the spotlight rather than any manufacturer

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Here's a sample of some of the wonderful and complicated work that is hidden behind the surface and all the magical backing vocal arrangements.The interlude in 2.49 is meltdown time and heartstoping.Heavenly.

[@helenpeterson]

13 November 1979, touching the end of their European tour, ABBA were performing in Glasgow, Scotland. Björn was tired of concerts and life on the road. Missing his soon-to-be wife Lena who had stayed in Sweden, he had her on the phone that very same night. The thought of soon reuniting with her gave him the strength to go on. That’s where the lyrics came from apparently.

[@viciousLUA]

Wow I wonder how Agnetha could sing this song knowing it’s about her ex husband’s new love…

[@helenpeterson]

@@viciousLUA it would have been far worse singing The Winner Takes It All. That was by far more traumatising for her.

[@heiswise2012]

A little correction: Twinkle, twinkle little star was not a production name of this particular song. They used Twinkle, twinkle... as a production name of the song called "Like an angel passing through my room" from the album The Visitors.

[@JF-sh2sm]

The same working title was used for both songs, in English for Like An Angel and in Swedish for Super Trouper (Blinka Lilla Stjärna = Twinkle Little Star)

[@TomLaios]

The only time Glasgow is mentioned in a pop tune.

[@TangoEliott]

Have you done Andante, Andante?

[@Lisa-M]

No, he has just done all ABBA Gold songs (except I Have A Dream), Happy New Year, The Visitors, The Day Before You Came and the two songs from Voyage. I hope he will react to their "lesser known" songs, too.

[@eduardooscar309]

Well Luke, thank you for this video and return with your reaction and comments to ABBA songs
"Super trouper" (1980)
was the nine and last single #1 to ABBA in UK ; and it was the #1 (with the album too) the day than the iconic John Lennon was murder
It's the opening track in Their seventh album "Super Trouper" , that was #1 too in UK and several countries of all continents
This album included the most heartbroken song "The winner takes it all" , it shows how versatily ABBA is, two songs different in style and lyrics and lead singer, and worldwide hit too
in "Súper Trouper" you can hear clear the brunette Frida amazing sweet as a lead singer, the blonde Agnetha fantastic in second voice (as could see specialy in the second verse of the official video), and a beautiful melody with power and catchy chorus (with 'a capela' parts)
"Super Trouper" is in my Top10 of ABBA songs and my Top5 of Frida as lead voice in ABBA songs
Another great song with Frida in lead voice wich have an official video is
"One man one woman" (1977)
See you in the next video to ABBA songs
My best regards to You from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
South America

Una vez leí por ahí que esta canción se relaciona con la esperanza de Frida de conocer a su padre, un Nazi que nunca se hizo cargo de su paternidad, a pesar de ello Frida siempre espero que él la fuera a ver a algún concierto. Ciertamente Frida la interpreta muy bien.
