Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, what talents you create! What is it with this little country in the North? Answer: one of their treasures is / has been that they have a natural aptitude for singing and for music in general. It is in their genes. See for example "allsång på Skansen", Stockholm, where they meet and sing together once a week in the summertime. And their people's soul goes very, very deep. ABBA was one of the very first artists to be known outside of Scandinavia. A big hug from Norway, neighbour of Sweden.
When I was in college ABBA was one of the groups we danced to in our favorite club. When I was very little I lived in Glascow, I remember seeing them win the Euro Vision song contest. Little did I know about ten years latter I'd be dancing to them still
Hi!! She sings "enchained", not ashamed. This is a girlfriend comforting her good girlfriend. It is Chiquitita, not Chiquita. Uplifting song, from the Voulez Vous album. It was performed at the Unicef charitity concert in 1979.
When listening to their heavenly singing, I imagined that Agnetha = Angel who sees and knows Chiquitita, is her Angel who was sent to encourage and help Chquitita. BTW: „Chiquitita" (a Spanish term of endearment for a woman meaning "little one").
This is one of my very favourite ABBA songs. They were so huge here in Australia, everybody had at least one of their Albums. ABBA was a staple at party’s and all sorts of get together’s. It was break out the ABBA and let’s get this party started. Their music was made to dance too and dance and drink Beer we did. 🎼❤️🎼❤️🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
From the Unicef year of the child. They and other top artists of the day in 79 did a concert. I saw it on tv live. All the artists donated royalties of their songs including Abba with Chiquitita.
People always say this is a strange video, but they were doing a show for the BBC called ABBA in Swizerland and they filmed them skiing and then this. They didnt have time to make a video so they used this footage from the show to promote it. Great reaction Hap.
This was one of their biggest international hits of 1979. It reached the top 20 in 20+ countries, reaching #1 in at least 10. It placed #2 in the UK, and reached top 40 in US, top 20 in Canada. I actually prefer the Spanish version of this song. Even though the English version is a bigger production, their Spanish version is crisper vocally especially the harmonies in the chorus, and Agnetha sounds devine singing it in Spanish.
Hello again and thanks a lot for another reaction to ABBA songs You are reacting to Bee Gees too; curiosly: ABBA & Bee Gees was together in Concert for Unicef 1979 Bee Gees perforned "Too much heaven" and ABBA presents... "Chiquitita"! (all songs from this concert donated royalties to UNICEF) "Chiquitita" is an amazing ballad pop lyrics of hope, great melodies, fantastic harmonies, a beautiful song! "Chiquitita was a worldwide hit, specialy in Hyspan American countries I enjoy with your greats reactions another good song from the same genre and album is "I have a dream" with Frida as lead voice I hope for much ABBA videos Have a nice weekend!
The revenues/royalties from this song was given by ABBA to UNICEF in perpetuity. Also the new x-mas song "Little things" is for charity in all eternity.
Please react to ABBA's: 1. Move On 2. One Man One Woman 3. Soldiers 4. Slipping through my fingers 5. Like an Angel Passing Through My Room 6. Does your mother know 7. He's your brother (Australia live 77) 8. Why did it have to be me (Australia live 77)
Thanks for the reaction. !979 was declared the year of the child by the UN. There was a big concert for UNICEF. This song and a performance was presented by ABBA. This song Chiquitita "Little One" was set up for its profits to go to UNICEF. This is ABBAs song for the needy children of the world. ABBA did a lot of their songs in Spanish it lends itself very well. You should start to notice that they took a shot at doing just about every genre of music. Even a Tango with "Head Over Heels" and Reggae with "Tropical Loveland".
Well I'm always interested in what you have to say! Benny and Bjorn were so full of melodies they were so prolific and did not limit their range and scope with sounds. It wasn't all disco! They were also very philanthropic and I believe they gave the rights to this song to unicef to reap the profits over the past 3 decades
What a beautiful and gentle way to start the day than with this ABBA song, first debuting at the UNICEF concert in January 1979. Due to its Latin flavor, it was released in South Ametica in April 1979 and became the biggest hit in 25 years in Argentina. It was introduced straight out of the studio and no time for a stylized video. Your reaction was terrific. You are becoming quite the ABBA enthusiast and really pick up on the nuances of the music! 💕💥💥. Peace J ✌
Just to add that when I was in Bolivia in 1984, this song was also a hit and one that I heard quite often. ABBA donated 1/2 of all royalties from Chiquitita to UNICEF from 1979 until 2014 when Bjorn announced that ALL further royalties - 100% - from Chiquitita would go to UNICEF. So, in addition to it being a good song, another good reason to buy it. - Canadian ABBA fan
hello, i'm so glad you were here again to continue with your reactions to ABBA songs and enjoy with these specialy, because I've been waiting for these, but I know that You are following a chronologic order (it's fantastic to see ABBA evolution) now You are in the first single of the sixth ABBA album, "Voulez Vous" several things to say about "Chiquitita" (1979) and its context "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence "Chiquitita" was composed especially for the Concert by UNICEF, invited (with a lot of artist) by Bee Gees ABBA premiered "Chiquitita" that night in January 9 (1979), and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF "Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America, that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary that in the following years ABBA recorded an album with its best songs entirely in Spanish "Chiquitita" was specialy the greatest hit of ABBA in my country Argentina And some of the intimacy "Chiquitita" was recorded in December 1978, before Christmas; days later the blonde singer Agnetha (28) and the guitarist Björn (33) was separated with two youngest childs (but they continue together in the group four years more, until their last recording in 1982) This promotional video was in February 1979 in Swizterland, when ABBA go there to a special TV "ABBA in Switzerland" It's their only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs From these album "Voulez Vous", the ABBA disco album, You did before "Does your mother know" (live with "Hole in your soul") I suggest you the opening track: "As good as new" or the fantastic disco song "If it wasn't for the nights" czcams.com/video/7100pNJk19U/video.html these link is in Japan perfomance, but full versión GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Argentina
Their voices are so beautiful and the harmonies are just magical 💞 i'm so grateful you are bringing more and more ABBA reactions. Im learning songs that i have missed otherwise! It's been so exciting ride! Awesome comparison between the two songs! I agree with you, Hap 👍🏼 Awesome honest reaction as always. ✨
They were VERY popular in Spanish speaking countries. They recorded this and many other hits in Spanish. Please react to One of us and Move on. Their most underrated hits 👌❤️
Found your channel through your VoicePlay /Geoff Castellucci reactions, but have to see your reaction to ABBA, nostalgic childhood vibe for me. They actually sang some songs in Spanish. I loved "Se Me Está Escapando" when I was a kid, which I had the Spanish version of on my album "The Visitors". There were, however, versions of that same album with the English variant of that song, "Slipping through my fingers". I think it was just chance which of the albums you got hold of. I might be wrong of course, may have been on different albums. I know for sure that there are both one English and one Spanish version of the song, though :-).
I like your reaction - truly reacted. In fact, I have been following up some of your reactions - you are not biased... unlike some people whose reactions are just to please those who requested the songs.
Another comment I loved when in less than a minute you related "Chiquitita" with "Fernando" I did the same, they have similarities and contrasts their title (a name or nickname in Spanish) are similar, in telling a story, in a melody in the tone of a ballad with a solo beginning of a singer (Frida in the previous one, here Agnetha) and in the harmony and beauty of her choirs They differ in power ("Fernando" is softer, "Chiquitita" is stronger), in duration and ending ("Fernando" finishes soft, "Chiquitita" has the most final instrumental) The videos also contrast, another beauty: "Fernando" is at night and with the image of fire, "Chiquitita" is from day to day with the background of snow In my opinion "Chiquitita_ has some pluses It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha and Frida are and what harmonies of excellence they achieve. It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables with great quality and beauty It was the first song they recorded in Spanish, the precursor to an entire album in Spanish called "Gracias por la Música" (something that no other world-class group did). And he has all his royalties donated to UNICEF It's are two fabulous songs, two masterpieces. And two biggest ABBA's worldwide hits, after "Dancing Queen" For minimal differences I prefer "Chiquitita", which is in my Top 5 of all ABBA songs, and "Fernando" in my Top 10
Everybody talks about the musical Mamma Mia or Kristina (which was great), but for some reasons Chess seems forgotten and never gets attention. Chess was the first musical Benny & Bjorn did after ABBA and it's a fantastic musical. I saw the original cast in London in 1986 and think it's one of the best musicals ever (up there with Cats, Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserables). Check it out.., some great duets between female singers, male-female duets... etc.
Hi Hap3, kudos for clocking 3:43 - finally someone else who appreciates that sumptuous detail. (I would call it a countermelody, though, instead of harmony as it's a separate phrase and not in sync with the main vocal melody. Countermelodies are a bit of an Abba speciality - Björn's lines in the chorus of Knowing Me, Knowing You, for example.)
Much appreciate the reaction and the effort, but let's start with the actual pronunciation of the title ---- it's Chickee - TEE - Ta !! LOL Thanks again, though :) Also, interesting that you draw a comparison with Fernando. I, too, found the two songs comparable...not only for their Mexican/Spanish influence, but for the tremendous harmonizations they both offer and not only by the lead vocals, but by the backing vocals. Thanks again! By the way, I can't believe you have not yet done a reaction to "Gimme Gimme Gimme".....let's gooooooooo!!! LOL
@@user-jd5ls1ro9o because the lyrics in Fernando mention "the night we crossed the Rio Grande"...unless I'm mistaken, the Rio Grande borders Texas and Mexico.
Inspired by El Condor Paso by Simon and Garfunkel. First named In the arms of Rosalita with a lead by Frida. They changed it demanded superb singing by agnetha.
It doesn’t look like you have listened to Winner Takes it All. A sad song about her divorce, which was written by her husband. You can tell it is very personal to her.
Great to see you doing another ABBA reaction #HAP3SPEAKZ. They did a whole Spanish Album titled Gracias Por La Musica you should do some reactions to it, there are video's to match. They were very multilingual with their music. Was this clip out of sync with the music ? Hate when that happens.
When it comes to ABBA, I find it better not to even look at the videos. Even beautiful songs like this can seem silly with the videos. Just my personal experience.
Some of their videos are truly bad, especially their tired look on 'Head Over Heels'. But the song is amazing! I do like the videos for "That's Me", "Bang-A-Boomerang", "Summer Night City", "SOS" and "The Name Of The Game". The clip for "So Long" (Made in Sweden for Export) shows their youthful exuberance while their most iconic video is for "Knowing Me, Knowing You" - despite the cheesy snow scenes and cutaways...their look and the improvised moves by director Lasse Hallstrom show them at their peak.
(Shabba) Like you say is like (Scha bara hur är det....) how is (it)... the situation in Swedish? Abba more than 420 million sold records and London is sold out.
ABBA = a bottomless well of hits! Yes, they nailed it, they always do. 🙂
Did you know, in this very same TV show the Jackson 5 were also invited as performers, so a teenage MJ met ABBA, lucky MJ!
You can see this young man....loves their music 🎶...really...soo...European...

I'm here because of Abba.The best musical act in the world.
YEP! They know what they are doing! Thanks for reacting to another ABBA song
My favorite ABBA song. Thanks for the spot-on reaction!
Love ABBA, Love this song.
Fantastic, brilliant = ABBA.
This is sublime 😍😍😍
Every song they did was soo...different and brilliant..lovely voices...like angels...
When I was in college ABBA was one of the groups we danced to in our favorite club. When I was very little I lived in Glascow, I remember seeing them win the Euro Vision song contest. Little did I know about ten years latter I'd be dancing to them still
Someone described Abba as perfect pop, and I agree
Funny when he said ...one of them dancing like an elf...
Hi!! She sings "enchained", not ashamed. This is a girlfriend comforting her good girlfriend. It is Chiquitita, not Chiquita. Uplifting song,

(all songs from this concert donated royalties to UNICEF)
"Chiquitita" is an amazing ballad pop
lyrics of hope, great melodies, fantastic harmonies, a beautiful song!
"Chiquitita was a worldwide hit, specialy in Hyspan American countries
I enjoy with your greats reactions
another good song from the same genre and album is
"I have a dream"
with Frida as lead voice
I hope for much ABBA videos
Have a nice weekend!
The revenues/royalties from this song was given by ABBA to UNICEF in perpetuity. Also the new x-mas song "Little things" is for charity in all eternity.
Please react to ABBA's:
1. Move On
2. One Man One Woman
3. Soldiers
4. Slipping through my fingers
5. Like an Angel Passing Through My Room
6. Does your mother know
7. He's your brother (Australia live 77)
8. Why did it have to be me (Australia live 77)
I love the Greeky infuence with a Spanish touch

Do more abba songs. Each song is a classic. They only get better with age

hello, i'm so glad you were here again to continue with your reactions to ABBA songs and enjoy with these specialy, because I've been waiting for these, but I know that You are following a chronologic order (it's fantastic to see ABBA evolution)
now You are in the first single of the sixth ABBA album, "Voulez Vous"
several things to say about "Chiquitita" (1979) and its context
"Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence
"Chiquitita" was composed especially for the Concert by UNICEF, invited (with a lot of artist) by Bee Gees
ABBA premiered "Chiquitita" that night in January 9 (1979), and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF
"Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America, that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary that in the following years ABBA recorded an album with its best songs entirely in Spanish
"Chiquitita" was specialy the greatest hit of ABBA in my country Argentina
And some of the intimacy
"Chiquitita" was recorded in December 1978, before Christmas;
days later the blonde singer Agnetha (28) and the guitarist Björn (33) was separated with two youngest childs
(but they continue together in the group four years more, until their last recording in 1982)
This promotional video was in February 1979 in Swizterland, when ABBA go there to a special TV "ABBA in Switzerland"
It's their only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden
I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs
From these album "Voulez Vous", the ABBA disco album, You did before "Does your mother know" (live with "Hole in your soul")
I suggest you the opening track:
"As good as new"
or the fantastic disco song
"If it wasn't for the nights"

ABBA has a lot of their songs in spanish. Like "Happy New Year" there is a very good spanish version.
ABBA nails it again!! A very cheerful song of encouragement! Can't help but feel good after hearing this tune!! Great reaction, Hap!! Thanks!💕💕💕🙏
Always love the joy of your ABBA reactions :))
Their voices are so beautiful and the harmonies are just magical 💞 i'm so grateful you are bringing more and more ABBA reactions. Im learning songs that i have missed otherwise! It's been so exciting ride!

Number 1 in so many countries (English and Spanish versions) :)
They were VERY popular in Spanish speaking countries. They recorded this and many other hits in Spanish. Please react to One of us and Move on. Their most underrated hits 👌❤️
"One of Us" wasn't underrated
it was #3 in UK Official Chart
(one of Their 19 Top 10 in UK)
and #1 in several countries
Home Free--Travelin' Soldier, Dive Bar Saints and Honey I'm Good
Try ABBA's Hard Rock - Hey Hey Helen. Fantastic!

in 1975 ABBA had a hit called Mama Mia and Queen had Bohemian Rhapsody with lyrics Mama Mia, very strange)))
In the UK Mama mia replaced Bohemian rhapsody at no 1.strange indeed.
Time for some Sabaton😎
I like your reaction - truly reacted. In fact, I have been following up some of your reactions - you are not biased... unlike some people whose reactions are just to please those who requested the songs.
ABBA donate half the profits from this song to UNICEF.
In 2014, all members of ABBA decided to donate all future royalties from the song to UNICEF.
@@roger4268 Yes I thought so, but I made the mistake of fact checking on Google and they said 50% so I thought I must be mistaken. Thank you. ❤️
@@roger4268 from the release 1979 till now it was 100 %

I loved when in less than a minute you related "Chiquitita" with "Fernando"
I did the same, they have similarities and contrasts
their title (a name or nickname in Spanish) are similar, in telling a story, in a melody in the tone of a ballad with a solo beginning of a singer (Frida in the previous one, here Agnetha) and in the harmony and beauty of her choirs
They differ in power ("Fernando" is softer, "Chiquitita" is stronger), in duration and ending ("Fernando" finishes soft, "Chiquitita" has the most final instrumental)
The videos also contrast, another beauty: "Fernando" is at night and with the image of fire, "Chiquitita" is from day to day with the background of snow
In my opinion "Chiquitita_ has some pluses
It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha and Frida are and what harmonies of excellence they achieve. It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables with great quality and beauty
It was the first song they recorded in Spanish, the precursor to an entire album in Spanish called "Gracias por la Música" (something that no other world-class group did).

For minimal differences I prefer "Chiquitita", which is in my Top 5 of all ABBA songs, and "Fernando" in my Top 10
Look at the Interview "Joy of ABBA" so you will get why the wrote it so.
