- Reaction to ABBA's Super Trouper Song
Another reaction to what is becoming the 'kick myself for not listening to earlier' band in my playlists.
#ABBA #supertrouper #songreaction - Hudba
As a swede, it warms the heart to see people's joy and sincere surprise when they discover how good ABBA really was / is.
They are so much more than their classic hits

You should be proud of your band - I am ashamed that I never listened to them when I was younger......Be well Ingela.
@@masseysmaineentertainment Thank you 💛💙 To be honest ABBA weren't t that big in USA as they were in Europe and Australia. Maybe beacuse the lack of liveshows? 🤔
You have much to do now 🙃🎶🎸
@@masseysmaineentertainment Better late than ever. It's so great and refreshing to see such an open-minded person like you. Wish there were more people like you out there. It will be so much fun seeing you going down the ABBA rabbit hole.
Yes Frida is lead on this.
Very good reaction. Missing your ABBA-reactions. Great popsong and their backing vocals are always giving the songs some extra. Frida shines in this song
Frida is singing lead vocal, that's right. It's so lovely this one. A classic!
ABBA was a great band, and in my opinion their music still holds up well.
ABBA IS, NOT WAS A GREAT BAND. THEY ARE BACK STRONGER THAN EVER😘😘😘😘
second or third (depending on what stats you use) bestselling band of all time. Thanks to Maasey for your lovely reaction 💕
Yup, Anni-Frid is on lead vocal in this one
yeah you're right Sir, Anni-Frid (known as Frida) is lead vocalist
yeah also, Benny's band in the 60s was the Hep Stars
& Benny was a huge Beach Boys fan always (whereas i think Björn was more into the Beatles)
quite a few Abba recordings have strong BB influence...i always think it's Benny at work x
Great reaction! Here are a couple of their songs that you probably haven’t heard, Thank You For The Music and Why Did It Have To Be Me! I think you’ll like them.
Thanks james.
I've known of ABBA's brilliance all along since bought that first 45 of Waterloo
Dig that song
It's interesting you mention the Beach Boys harmonies because Benny always said his top musical influence was America's Beach Boys. Bjorn's lyrical writing was influenced by The Beatles. Agnetha's fav growing up was Connie Francis. Frida liked and performed Jazz in her music beginning, enjoying influences in various popular genres ( including at one point opera) and on to an affinity for Pat Benatar !
First time I heard this one it was performed by Abba Teens, I think in the late 90s.
For the context of a Supertrouper you have to watch the videoclip. While singing Agnetha points a view times up to the spotlight is legendary.
How close was I on the meaning - I haven't read the lyrics yet....need to?
So nice to have an excuse to enjoy the Abba songs that I love from the yesteryears! Your reaction and commentary provide further depth to my appreciation for these songs. I’d like to introduce a few obscure but powerful gems from Abba which have never been popularized. You could probably appreciate why : a) (the forlorn yet oh-so-imagery-rich) I let the music speak (b) lay all your love on me c) Cassandra
They have so many songs - its incredible to think I knew about only 3 or 4.
Thank you for this reaction, this is my fav Abba single but there are album tracks that I like more. I like Anni-Frid's vocals more than Agnetha. The Day Before You Came and Lay All Your Love On Me are my fav songs where Agnetha sings lead, and Anni-Frid too many to mention. The had 8 number 1 singles in South Africa and 7 chart topping albums.
great song. try " the name of the game", "Fernando", " that's me". " does your mother know " and " head over hills".
I was fortunate, they were very present on the radio in the 70's-80's in this part of Florida, surely one of their records would have been one of my first bought.
Great reaction; you get it; the song is a bit autobiographical. At the time it was written (Bjorn is the main lyricist and Benny the main musical composer) Bjorn and Agnetha had split up. Frida sings the lead but the song is more about how lonely Bjorn felt, even “facing 20,000 of his friends” and how much he looked forward to seeing his new girlfriend in the crowd. Ouch. Love the keyboard intro and bridge especially, sounds like a fairground (the video and album cover feature a circus). If you wanna try glam rock ABBA from earlier try “So Long”, “Waterloo”, “Hole In Your Soul”. Their 3 best songs overall are “Move On”, “SOS” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You”
Hole in your sole is a brilliant song please listen to it
thank you for this video with your reaction and comments
You made me so happy to see You enjoy with the greatest ABBA songs
"Super trouper" (1980)
was the nine and last #1 to ABBA in UK (and it was the #1 at the day than John Lennon was murder)
It's the opening track in Their sixth 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
You did before
"The winner takes it all"
and "Super Trouper" is the same year, the following single, and both was #1 in UK specialy Two songs different in style and lyrics and lead singer, and worldwide hit too
in Súper Trouper you can hear clear Frida amazing as a lead singer, and Agnetha fantastic in second voice
and a beautiful melody with power and catchy chorus
I see that You know some ABBA songs like Dancing Queen, Mamma Mía, S.O.S.
my suggestion is
"The name of the game" (1977)
from "The álbum"
the most versatily sound of ABBA
This is from the album Super Trouper, but there are at least 7 songs on this album that I prefer over this.
Lay all your love on me
Happy new year
Andante, andante
Our last summer
Me and I
The Piper
The winner takes it all.
I suggest these lesser known ABBA hits: Chiquitita, Knowing Me Knowing You, Eagle & When All is Said and Done
I also suggest these non-singles: One Man One Woman, Move On, I Am The City & I'm A Marionette
I think I know 3 of those Bekka and i have ABBA down for a song on Friday. No hints yet :)
Tremenda agrupación y acompañamiento musical.
Yeah, lead on this is Anni-Frid
Thanks Hugh!!
Nice reaction. A few songs you may not have heard include Lay all your love on me, The name of the game, the winner takes it all, SOS, Take a chance on me.
You do have an ear for great harmonies.
Thanks Oh Dear - I can't sing for anything myself, but I do appreciate those who can.
@@masseysmaineentertainment ... Same my friend.
This has the most grooviest bassline in chorus.
Joy! This was the first ABBA album I bought, then began collecting them all. The next new release, The Visitors, blew my mind. Glad you are discovering their music. I kind of envy you in that regard. Like the BeeGees this group was immensely talented if not fashionable. Peace and all good things to you.
Thanks Bobby. Bee Gees are very underrated. Their early stuff was very good.
@@masseysmaineentertainment
I love the earliest Bee Gees
from "Massachusetts" (first #1 single) to "Main Course" álbum (1975), but I don't like when They was in disco music
All the Gibs had a very big apreciation for Abba and vice versa.Agnetha was a big fan of the SNF era .During a bbc radio interview while doing promotion for the "Voulez vouz"album In 1979, when asked, she had their songs as a personal favourite.They also participated together in the Unicef 1979 concert.Besides all of Abba had joined Olivia and Andy making an unforgettable TV A special in the States a year earlier.
You also mentioned something about The BEACH BOYS". Well Benny was ALWAYS mentioning being a big fan of the band and Brian Wilson.He stated "Good vibrations"and "Do you wanna dance"as great records.As for other 60"s bands with such tight harmonies personally no one could sound better in my ears than John,Denny,Michy, and CassElliot singing in unison. aka"The mamas and the papas"
I love the Mamas and the Papas - thanks for reminding me Christiano
@Blue AmyBenny paid tribute to the Beach Boys in the "Supertrouper"album with the song"ON AND ON AND ON"Yeah Phil Spector was a very influential man. Can be heard clearly in all of ABBAs work especially in their 2nd and 3rd album. I also have a great aprecation for LOU ADLER producer of the Mamas and the papas.Even though it wasnt my generation i take my hat off to the way he and especially John Philips were setting the vocal harmonies to that band.As for Benny i didnt know he was a Bach fan.You are right about LAYLOM.I know he was a "keyboard freak".I laughed so much when I read somewhere that he once attacked a huge tiramisu tart cake missunderstanding it for the new yamaha synthesizer!But iam sure it was a joke.
They really understood Phil Spectors ”wall of sound” and that less is more wich brings a dramaturgical touch to their music.
Their classic song Mamma Mia is a good example in were they strip off almost all instruments in the chrorus wich is very unusual in most songs from other artist. Thats geniously done.
wow! ok, you should probably just jump right in to the deep end of ABBA, and hear The Visitors track. About E.T. coming and sweeping Frida away. A 5 min work of art that was a hit on disco dance floors all over the world from 82 until now. :) And then Fernando was a big hit as well you should do. And since your on this album Souper Trouper, do Lay All Your Love On Me. They pick out wonderous rhythem that only yodling Swed's could do! :)) That was a big dance hit as well.
Funny you mentioned yodelling swedes. In their first recorded song "People Need Love" they actually yodel.
@@antonwiderberg7571 Oh yea! You know it! The girls do some complicated backing vocals sometimes hard to pick up, that sound like yodeling. Lovers Live A Little Longer, (chorus) Great fun! Thanks! :)
@@Bjorn9284 Of course! And this is coming from a very proud fellow swede to ABBA🇸🇪❤️
@@antonwiderberg7571 NICE! I pre ordered the new album vinyl last week from ABBA's website. Hope it ships from Sweden :) I'm in Dallas (The Day Before You Came) LOL
@@Bjorn9284 That sounds great! I hope you I'll enjoy it. That's a nice one, "The Day Before You Came" is in my ABBA top 5 songs. It's such a great song.
You are the bomb with these reactions checkout: frida songs, I know somethings going on and I see red and agnetha's song, the heat is on. I think you will enjoy them.
Do "SOS". It's a masterpiece.
I know it truly is - unfortunately one of maybe 4 songs I know by ABBA. I don't want to cheat you by doing a song I know.
@@masseysmaineentertainment That's ok.
They could also have called this one: "The day you came" lol......
It is Frida doing lead singing
Thanks for the ABBA. The more you listen to them the more you realize there really are very few bad songs. I think they were all perfectionist and would either can the bad stuff and rework it or drop it. One of their more complex songs that I really like is "The Name Of The Game". Just a ton of stuff going on in that one and it's pure ear candy.
I remember that 🎵
There is an official music video for "Super Trouper" now remastered in 4K. They made a lot of videos back then, but not all songs have music videos and just 10 or so have been remastered in 4K so far. Link: czcams.com/video/BshxCIjNEjY/video.html
Check out "If it wasn't for the nights" :-)
One of my favorites is the title track of their last album: The Visitors. You'll hardly recognize it's ABBA, it's gloomy dark and futuristic, Frida with desperate lead vocals, and then the chorus comes in and it's suddenly ABBA.
I am doing the Visitors tomorrow.
And Anni-Frid goes my Frida. Critique her post Abba solo hit "I know there's something going on" for great guitar and Phil Collins on drums.
Benny (keyboard ) was/is big fan of the Beach Boys.
Thank you for another great first reaction🌷🌷🌷🌷
Yes it's Frida/ Annifrid. Good song, not my favourite but a loved song by many.
Definetly end of their career, both couples had separated/divorced.
Here's a song from one of Annifrid's solo albums, she has a spectacular and distinct voice:

Abba has great harmonies in most songs, you should try "Knowing me, Knowing You", great songs with incredible harmonies, guys chip in again 🙈
I may know that song...if I do I know people hate when we react to songs we know...I will ask my wife...hahhaa
@@masseysmaineentertainment to be honest, it's hard to find Abba songs you haven't heard at some point before, as long as you are being honest in your reaction and let people know you have heard it before, people would have no reason to complain. Also, you do you, it's all good fun and entertainment after all.
Hi AYBL Maine - I would like to see how you react to these songs here:
ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
ABBA - Voulez-Vous
Tiger is Abba best song
Their whole catalog on your list? 😉
I am listening to many things lately - and I still continue to do my top 5 videos and I wanted to keep doing top 10 (but I don't get any traction with those videos much). I honestly have to say I like the symphonic metal I am listening to and I am finally listening to ABBA - which other than 3 or 4 tracks I never did.
Addictive isnt it?Well that was huuuge in 1980.The epitome of pure pop music perfection in my humble opinion.Their semi-final album "SUPER TROUPER"got also in that year"s guiness world record book for managing the biggest number of a pre-saled album ever In the UK( over 1 million copies).In the States though it got almost ignored.What a shame...At least they got another top ten there with the other single from the same album"The winner takes it all"
What can I say - we Americans can be blind at times. ABBA is the real deal.
There is actually an Official Video to this song.
Can you send me a ink Doro?
OH MY WORD, ABBA IS STILL THE BEST BAND. SUPER TROUPER IS SUPER CSTCHY. HERE'S JUST A FEW MASTERPIECES FOR YOU: RING RING, HASTA MANANA, SO LONG, MY LOVE MY LIFE, THE NAME OF THE GAME, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE NIGHTS, OUR LAST SUMMER, ONE OF US....... ENJOY🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks Erik - appreciate that.
@@masseysmaineentertainment You are so welcome, wishin you an ABBALICIOUS weekend😘😘😘😘
Try.. Hey Hey Helen...
Her name is pronounced AN Yeta. G is silent.
Anni-Frid or Frida is on lead. Agnetha is pronounced Agnietta if u see what i mean 👍
@Niclas Eriksson Thank god i got it right then 🤣 lol
@Niclas Eriksson Sure sounds like she says that on ur link from her own lips but not sounding the “g” your Swedish so u should know. 👍 Anyway the best pop group ever !
Thanks Mark....
@@masseysmaineentertainment Something like that lol 🤣🤣🤣🤪
Agnetha is pronounced "Ah-nyet-ah" fyi
so ah - nyet (like the Russian word for no) and ah - got it.
Can you not react to the music videos?
ABBA's Company takes them down immediately from public view and now one can view them unless I sent them a personal message with the link attached. It was so frustrating to film the video - edit and fix the volume - upload - apply all the tags and get it ready - only to have them block it before I even hit publish. 1 1/2 hours down the tube - no pun intended. If its a live performance I can - when the company considers it a music video - block every time.
@@masseysmaineentertainment it’s annoys me how some people are given strikes or video taken down while others been getting away with reacting to full videos.

Painful
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia - we could talk about pain sometime.
