That will be so nice.....and apire on a stage as Abatars, if not abble as allive members. Allso...to take few minutes of all show...with few words if they can. We should have gentlle expectatione from ABBA.....they are far from youth/ fisicly/........life🙂🍀🖖
Thank you Benny for your comments. Australia only has 25 million, and it may not be sustainable, financially, having to build a stadium. I went to London last year and saw Voyage twice. I was front and centre of stage. It was brilliant. I am returning to London in September to see 4 more shows. I will travel from Australia to London annually. The price of airfares are worth it. ABBA is the best band ever. I love you with all my heart. I waved to you at the Melbourne Town Hall and at the bowl in 1977. You have brought so much happiness to my life and to millions. You are simply the best. Sending all my love to the four of you from Melbourne XXXX
Legends for sure. And sheer and utter genius songwriting talent creates timeless classics... The simple answer is that good music will ALWAYS stand the test of time... And ABBA were - and still are - simply THE BEST..!!!❤🎤🎷🎸🎺🎻🎹
I'm so excited to be seeing the show tonight for its 1st year anniversary. Saw it on opening night last May. Can't believe it was a year ago. Excellent, Jaw-dropping, amazing show. Abba are the gift that keeps on giving. Long may it continue ❤
I was very moved by Benny stating he'd like to see 'Voyage' come here to Australia. ABBA were huge in Australia thanks to Ian (Molly) Meldrum and ABC's Countdown, however only a modified version of Voyage could work here due to our lower population and the economics of it. Thankyou for the interview.
I was lucky to experience ABBA during the 70's, as a child. Their music has been the soundtrack of my life. For me "The Visitors" is a masterpiece and their peak musically. "Voyage" was a bonus surprise with a few really good songs and I'm happy we got it. But I don't expect anymore music from ABBA, and I certainly don't think it's a good idea to appear during Eurovision just because it's 50 years since Waterloo. . . I'm from Sweden and Eurovision is not something I associate with ABBA. It might sound presumptuous but they are above that nowadays in my opinion. I agree with Benny that Australia deserves their attention in some shape or form.
As much as we want ABBA to appear at Eurovision next year not only has Benny said no. Their manager Gorel has also said no to them being there next year. Something is going on though. There are no bookings for April 6th 2024 for Voyage. This date is also the 25th anniversary of Mamma Mia The Musical.
I understand Benny reluntance about Eurovision. I saw an interview with both Benny & Bjorn a few years ago and they said Eurovision is not what it was, its actually crap. I'd love if ABBA would make an album of all the songs they have shelved/didn't like at the time, and make it into a mash up.
I think everyone WANTS them to reunite and tour and all of that. But to be honest, they never where about the touring. They were always about the exploration of music. They clearly showed with Voyage that they still have it as a group. The Ladies still has their voices, and then some. I wold love them to write one more album, in whatever style they wish. Make a documentary of recording it and then, maybe just do a televised show playing it. They don't even have to have an audience. Them, their music, their band. An hour show, send throughout the world. A lasting memory and a final thank you.
AND.....2 albums by Gemini (Karin and Anders Glenmark ) ... "Gemini "in 1985 and "Geminism " in 1987 and a 1993 album by Josefin Nilsson..called " Shapes "... You will get a lovely surprise. They're out there in youtube world and other places. Just look.❤
Australia ( where I am from ) really were the ones that found ABBA initially...........Benny, I think the 4 of you should just make an appearance in the Eurovision, especially that is going to be in Sweden....It is just too easy to say NO to everything now that you have fame and fortune. Think of the people that gave you that !!!
...Björn SO wants to be there next year, Benny said no so many times before then ta daa, we have not 1 new song but an ALBUM. He likes the surprise element, so i say something is up his sleeve!...btw i also remember when Björn said that if 1 says no,the other 3 say yes, then the yes's win..🤞💞
The last great Wish is an EP of JUST LIKE THAT in best sound and all recorded versions in full length but unfortunately that will NEVER see the light of day 😔
I think that the ladies dont want to be in the public eye anymore. The one that like that the most is Björn. Benny a little . The ladies just want to live their lives out of the spotlight.
OK then, let's talk music: If music is built in 3rds, it requires two octaves to complete seven pitches (notes). Every other white key is a 3rd apart. Starting with an "F" pitch (note) in the "C" key, step up every other white key for seven pitches, as follows: F-A-C-E-G-B-D (1-3-5-7-9-11-13). These seven pitches make-up an "FM13+11" chord. This chord is made-up of "three triads." The three triads (chords) are: "F-A-C" + "C-E-G" + "G-B-D" = F-A-C-E-G-B-D. These triads are in harmony with each other: F-A-C is a "harmonic 5th" away from a C-E-G. The same is true of an "F" pitch and a "C" pitch. Triads are in "harmony" with each other: An "F-A-C" is a 3rd away from a "A-C-E." or, an "F triad" is a "harmonic third" away from a "Amin." triad. Working an "F triaf" with an "Amin triad" is working a "FM7" chord. OK då, låt oss prata musik: Om musik är inbyggd i 3:or krävs det två oktaver för att klara sju tonhöjder (noter). Varannan vit nyckel är en 3:e från varandra. Börja med en "F"-tonhöjd (not) i "C"-tangenten, stega upp varannan vit tangent för sju tonhöjder, enligt följande: F-A-C-E-G-B-D (1-3-5-7-9-11-13). Dessa sju tonhöjder utgör ett "FM13+11"-ackord. Detta ackord består av "tre treklanger". De tre treklangerna (ackorden) är: "F-A-C" + "C-E-G" + "G-B-D" = F-A-C-E-G-B-D. Dessa triader är i harmoni med varandra: F-A-C är en "harmonisk 5:a" från en C-E-G. Detsamma gäller en "F" tonhöjd och en "C" tonhöjd. Triader är i "harmoni" med varandra: En "F-A-C" är en 3:a från en "A-C-E." eller, en "F-triad" är en "harmonisk tredjedel" från en "Amin". triad. Att arbeta en "F triaf" med en "Amin triad" är att arbeta med ett "FM7" ackord.
A special new song written for the anniversary would be wonderful and added to a special deluxe version of the Voyage album to be released as anniversary album … please!
If you watch the ABBA in concert from 1979. Bjorn says, if one says one and three say three, then it's three. That's the Swedish way. Benny is slightly contradicting that statement. Bjorn clearly with all his hair implants and surgery is dying to be there...he hides it very badly. Bjorn again (he's everywhere)
Simple solution to not appearing but still celebrating.Why don't the 4 of you record a new version of Waterloo and film the recording to be shown at Eurovision??? How can i contact Benny and Bjorn to suggest this?
Listening to Benny saying no right off the bat makes me uneasy. The interviewer wasn't asking them to perform...Why saying no so quick to the possibility of the 4 of them just showing together on stage. Arghh.. so frustrating.
The Eurovision question coming from a huge fan, me. Why say no. Is it because you are doing something back to the world, to the fans, without making tons of money??????
...yes i thought exactly the same about Björn's health...he's always been on the light side,but here he is way too thin, rubbing his hands together and seems restless... probably age related i know,but from being an ABBA fan since 1974 you do worry about them...we want them around forEEVVERR! 💖
How beautiful it is to see them today with that intelligence and lucidity...❤
Let them meet for the 60th anniversary!
❤️🇨🇱👍
My wish is that ABBA record some new music for the 50th anniversary of their Eurovision victory. Here’s to wishing and hoping! ❤
That will be so nice.....and apire on a stage as Abatars, if not abble as allive members.
Allso...to take few minutes of all show...with few words if they can.
We should have gentlle expectatione from ABBA.....they are far from youth/ fisicly/........life🙂🍀🖖
definitely.. yes we all want, but most important is if they also feel this deep in their hearts and souls 🙏
Then there is the newest BAO album coming out. Thank you Bjorn and Benny!

True. There are a billion people within a six hour plane journey of London it makes more economic sense to keep it there.
Legends for sure. And sheer and utter genius songwriting talent creates timeless classics... The simple answer is that good music will ALWAYS stand the test of time... And ABBA were - and still are - simply THE BEST..!!!❤🎤🎷🎸🎺🎻🎹
Since I first saw and listened to them on Polish TV in the '70s , when I was 15 these four seem unrealistically beautiful aliens to me to this day.
wonderful interview. thanks for sharing. tack B&B.
They are so smart and wise! Very clever songwriters and I always enjoyed Bennys piano playing.
I'm so excited to be seeing the show tonight for its 1st year anniversary. Saw it on opening night last May. Can't believe it was a year ago. Excellent, Jaw-dropping, amazing show. Abba are the gift that keeps on giving. Long may it continue ❤

well done Victoria. She has a great interview style. And they two of them clearly felt comfortable with her.
The legend’s
Love how the venue is giving back to the local community.
Thanks for sharing. Love this.

Weren't they all on stage when Voyage opened? If so, I don't quite see a problem with a walk-down at Eurovision. I think Benny may be playing with us.
Two pop geniuses from the greatest band of all time. They've given the world such beautiful gifts in all of their songs.
Mozart "Popband"...ABBA.....Grande Genies
Beau et grand interview de Benny et Bjorn . Merci
Great documentary, many thanks ❤❤

In case anyone here only knows about ABBA, Björn and Benny's "Kristina från Duvemåla" and "Chess" are fantastic! Also Benny Andersson's orkester.

Yes! New BAO album for sometime in 2024 by Benny + Bjorn.

Björn wants to be everywhere. He's the exhibitionist personified.
Agneta will never say yes

An intelligent interview.

Please, yes, come back to Australia!
Benny said a strong "no" to a future reunion, well if they went on recording new songs I'd be really happy.
How very cool. 😂 I'm bedridden making stupid lil videos and I wouldn't have ever seen this, had I not been directed here, by my channel. Pretty neat.
LOVELY NEW HAIR COLOUR Bjorn

Bjorn is still gorgeous❤
Benny love ❤

Ironic that Newsnight used the Museum waxwork figures and not a photo of them
yeah,real members looked better by far.They couldn't be 100 percent convincingly replicated.They are so unique,One of a kind!
Good interview - don't get to see Newsnight, who's the lady?
Think looks like Victoria Derbyshire. She is often news and documentary working here in. U. K. BBC tv
Oh and forgot to say always good too
A special new song written for the anniversary would be wonderful and added to a special deluxe version of the Voyage album to be released as anniversary album … please!
finally facing my water loo

...what surgery has Björn had tinni1 ? Thx.
@@janetarmitage9745 the most obvious are the hair implants ....
Simple solution to not appearing but still celebrating.Why don't the 4 of you record a new version of Waterloo and film the recording to be shown at Eurovision??? How can i contact Benny and Bjorn to suggest this?
No idea why Benny has said no
Have fun get inspired fans
So do a recorded message at least, Benny. Geez. What a buzz kill. Lol. And there’s no reason why the others can’t do something without him.
Listening to Benny saying no right off the bat makes me uneasy. The interviewer wasn't asking them to perform...Why saying no so quick to the possibility of the 4 of them just showing together on stage. Arghh.. so frustrating.
Poor Bjorn, must listen to his bossy partner 😊
Because he respects him, they all respect each other and the relationship has worked this way for almost 60 years
The Eurovision question coming from a huge fan, me. Why say no. Is it because you are doing something back to the world, to the fans, without making tons of money??????
if you think that way then your are not a real fan. They have already said that they want to keep the image of ABBA as it was 40 years ago.
@@PADARM they did show up to promote Voyage
Victoria needs to loosen up a bit, otherwise great interview❤
ohh bjorn sounds less eloquent as usual, searching for words. Health issues?
Really? Sounds great to me!
...yes i thought exactly the same about Björn's health...he's always been on the light side,but here he is way too thin, rubbing his hands together and seems restless... probably age related i know,but from being an ABBA fan since 1974 you do worry about them...we want them around forEEVVERR! 💖
Why refuse this opportunity! There is no valid reason. Are you afraid of singing badly? You could participate without singing! It makes no sense!
