Ty Reacts To ABBA - Super Trouper
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 08. 2024
- Today we dive into legendary Swedish pop group ABBA. "Super Trouper" was the third single and title track to their 1980 studio album of the same name. The single was released in November 1980 and became ABBA's ninth (and final) UK number 1.
A long time ago (around 1974-1990) I did prog rock with great commitment (and I am still a big Yes fan). So it was hard for me to admit that for me, ABBA is really cool. Today it's easier for me ,-) ABBA's songs are so perfectly arranged with appealing lyrics that hardly anyone can escape their magic.
Than you sir!last sentence said it all.Abba is like a drug.A healthy one.Once you get hooked on them you can hardly escape their effective charms.
By this time ABBA had conquered the World. Things were winding down for them. But the Music kept getting better. The lyrics and video celebrated their "success that never ends". All the while telling a personal story. ABBA were masters at Music and Lyrics. And all with a catchy melody that has lasted 50 years. Once in a lifetime group of talent. Thanks for your reactions.
Great commentary.So true! i got moved from your last 3 sentences on them, cause they got such an unfair,predjudiced criticism and humilation and same happened to us fans that supported them.But time proved there's still no one to touch them in their field,so thank you Joe for stating this.
My absolute favorite ABBA record. Insanely catchy with top-notch lyrics and tight production values. It was the last song recorded for the album and a bit of a rush job but you get the sense that Benny and Björn didn't overthink it and just let their keen pop instincts take over. Just a beautiful song.
I check almost every day for ABBA reactions...thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!
More ABBA always on our show 😎😎 pure greatness
One of my earliest musical memories is hearing the Super Trouper album when I was about 6 or 7. I liked it even then. Abba have an amazing ability to create drama, melancholy, happiness, and comfort in one song. I will never get tired of listening to them. My favourite though is the more obscure The Day Before You Came. Synth heaven that one, with some great lyrics. A brilliant pop band 🙂
Oh wow! Treading on sacred ground with ABBA. My all time favorites. The absolute masters of pop music. The harmonies, melodies, hooks, gorgeous soundscapes and impeccable production. I appreciated your comments about the trepidation with exposing Ty to this particular ABBA track. With that said, I recall listening to the Super Trouper album and being confounded by this track because I initially found it really simple and kind of silly TBH. However, the more I heard it the more I started hearing just how much was actually going on in the mix and also the really emotional and sad message masked in the upbeat, bright and bubbly sound of the song. I then began to realize just how brilliant these 4 Swedes actually were and continue to be. It has become one of my absolute favorite ABBA songs and has stood the test of time. Side note, it became one of ABBA’s biggest UK hits their final #1 in that country.
Hey Jerry what's up 😎 I gotta agree, the more I listen to it, the more it continues to grab me, the tune is just soooo great 😎😎
Pure perfection 👉ABBA👈...they are legendary, fantastic and i just love their music.
Ty should react to "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" or "Lay All Your Love On Me", songs that are much bigger today than before. (TikTok, clubs, parties, ...)
Yes, and The Visitors and Voulez-Vous, Eagle and I'm a marionette, Hole in your soul live from Wembley..
GGG! Yeah.WATERLOO too their breakthru banger will do fine for Ty!BTW "Angeleyes" sped up version is the recent tik tok trend by Abba at the moment.Same went for the outro of' Chiquitita' last summer.
Merci l'equipe....la magie d'ABBA....!!!
It’s so cute to see what a huge ABBA fan dad is. He really gets the talent that existed in ABBA, the best productions ever and the most beautiful vocals in recorded music history.
Thx supastah68 😎 Dad is a huge ABBA fan for sure. Pure Legends
Well, thank you for this video with your reaction and comments
"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 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
"Super Trouper" is the same year,
and the following single,
than "The winner takes it all"
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 sweet as a lead singer, and 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 (including a capela parts)
"Super Trouper" is in my Top10 if all ABBA songs, and in my Top5 of all Frida as lead voice
These is your third reaction to ABBA songs:
S.O.S (1975)
album ABBA lead voice Agnetha
Knowing me knowing you (1976)
album "Arrival", lead voice Frida
Super Trouper (1980)
album "SuperTrouper", lead voice Frida
I think that the next reaction to ABBA should be with the blonde Agnetha again in lead voice
My suggestion is to
"Thank you for the music" (1977)
in their fifth album: "The Album"
or "Chiquitita" (1979)
in their sixth album "Voulez Vous"
or "One of us" (1981)
in their eight album "The Visitors"
I put three different songs, all of different styles and genres of music, from different albums too, to appreciate the evolution and versatility of ABBA
See you in the next video
My best regards to You from
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Brilliant record, they set the standard for pop music today.
This is a bright poppy song ..... yet " THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME " is dark and moody . They could do it all .
Agree 100%. Fantastic song. One of the best.
Yes, please do the day before you came, it’s my favorite ABBA song
This came out at the time when disco was just about on it's last legs, if not very much moribund. There were still a few more, 'hits', to come, but by this time, the new wave of more synthesizer based pop was establishing itself, along with the, 'new romantics.' This ABBA song was kind of a crossover from the more traditional style of pop to the newer synth-based stuff that was yet to come. Unsurprisingly, it did very well in the charts, particularly in the run-up to Christmas of 1980. I remember it well.
Love your ABBA reactions....keep them coming😎!! Would you also PLEASEEEE consider doing more Bee Gees reactions.....as know how much you love them😉!
absolutely more BeeGees on the way. 😎😎 Can't wait to do some 90's stuff by them, just so great !!
What a beautiful part in 4:04,i melt each time i reach this point.Btw there are many videos in the net by music fans that "uncover" and dig out ABBA's backing vocal construction of many of their songs either by using the Dolby atmos analysis or other programmes.You can't imagine how much hard work/"masterful" arrangements and unbelievable little details are hidden underneath.And all of them recorded at a time that technology and recording facilities in the music studios weren't available the way they are today!Imagine B+B Were writting their music mainly by using a piano and acoustic guitar.Which was far more difficult and a puzzle only for the gifted skillfull ones.Their genius studio engineer Michael Tretow takes also lot of credit for his astonishing contribution.It's undiscribable.But how can you excactly discribe a wonder?Sometimes i get chills listening to all this stuff seperately before getting combined to built up the final result.
Well said 😎😎 wow you are a true fan Christiano 🤘🏼
Dad you're a brave man. I share your anticipation. Keep the faith bro. 80's rule man! Oh hi Ty :D
Oh Yes carlos i agree, He is 'a brave man' as you said and also seems a nice person that has a great taste in music too i would add .Ty has a really precious Dad.-
Thx Christiano, appreciate that 😎😎
Thx Carlos, I tread with caution on some of these selections, ha ... yes 80's RULE MAN !! 😎😎
Ty should react to ABBA’s Gimme Gimme Gimme (A man after midnight’ next , he will probably recognise it from Madonna who sampled it in her song Hung Up.
Most Abba songs grow on one over a few listens, and I think Super Trouper could be one of those. The song criticises fame and the singer can't wait for the show to be over. A bit of darkness in a happy song. You might enjoy the dark, electronic sound of The Visitors from the album of the same name. Cheers chaps!
Cheers to you Ed 😎😎 thx for watching the show! "the visitors" is definitely on our list !
I believe this came around christmas. Therefore the christmas sound between the chorus which is pure disco
Try listening to the title track of their final album, The Visitors which is very different and about the paranoia of a dissident behind the iron curtain waiting to be arrested and The Day Before You Came.
These at the time would have lost ABBA about 80-90% of their fans who would have bought Super Trouper.
But they would have been heading down a very different but still very creative new road.
Unfortunately they went their separate ways and that was it until forty years later.
This song always reminds me of Christmas.
In the UK this album had the biggest advance sales ever at the time. No.
1 for 9 weeks and the biggest selling album of 1980. This single was the 4th best seller.
Listen to Fernando and the "other" girl sings it. Their voices are awesome how they harmonise together and they both sing equally as well as each other.
It's also Frida on the lead of FERNADO but with straight hair in the video instead of curly.Actually sometimes times these 2 girls make a "third voice" when they join together and despite having different color and vocal range you can't clear out who is who when they harmonize in unison.This is their special characteristic in their vocals.
@@christianoazzuro6711 They have a special sound together, don't they x
Yes, Frida sings the solo parts on both Fernando and Super Trouper.
If you're interested in synth, try the title tack of 'The Visitors'. A very different ABBA: Futuristic, alternative and gloomy.
great idea😎😎 have been hearing that a lot, think might be one of our next ABBA reactions for sure 😎
@@reactionextraction Just saw it, great reaction!
"Called you last night from Glasgow". Always makes me laugh.
Really good and honest reaction. This is why we subscribe.
on and on and on, and also the piper good songs, by Abba from the same album
Corny?Well tell that to LIAM GALLAHER from OASIS.He is an Abba fan and doesn;t care to admit that "Super Trouper" along with 'Waterloo' are two of Abba's greatest songs!Abba were heading for the end when this came out but they didn't know it at the time, though it was proven they were still big deal in the pop scene.A+B were divorced and B+A got divorced some months later on.After this they released their last No1 album 'The Visitors"(dark and quite peculiar) and then went off for 4 decades of hiatus until 2021.'Super Trouper' single and 7th studio album of the same name was another massive success(except for the USA market where the top 10 hit there was "The Winner takes it all").That was a glorious production..In this band they were two striking frontwomen as vocal leaders.The melody to this is more mature and honeyfied!And seemed that we all loved the soop-pa troup-pa element.Some of today's pop stars would have "killed" to own such a melody.Neverthless I'm greatfully thankful Dad for your "daring" choice!I was also excpecting something "harder" or "groovier" for Ty,ha!ha!But i felt that deep inside you reaaally enjoyed this song and its splendid arrangements and you wished so much for Ty to like it too!Hugs to both of you from Europe.
Hello to you Christiano in awesome Europe !! Your right ... Ty liked it, he's just too cool 😎😎 sometimes to admit it, lol
One correction... "greatly thankful" not "greatfully thankful" i meant.My damned fingers just typed some more lol.
Hey I get it, typing on my phone sucks, ha especially without my glasses! The kids always make fun of me for typing with one finger. I’m 50, technology not my strong suit here, lol 😎😎
Hey Christiano, you should email us sometime & give us your thoughts on some 70’s / 80’s Artist. Would love to hear your opinions ! 😎

Great reaction, I like your exchange of opinions, so important this time. Super Trouper was a gift for the ABBA fans, specially for the "old Mamma Mia-SOS mourning" fans with this conservative touch. I had understood it and granted them the sucess. ABBA were disappointed about the reaction of the preceding album "Voulez-Vous" and the sales.
If you want to be will surprised, take for time to time a demanding track like The Name Of The Game, Eagle or The Visitors (sadly no video, but from the topic so up-to-date: or take Soldiers, sounds so harmless, but profounded text).
Otherwise if you want blow away - so full rock energy and patience as you never expected of this Pop group - take the double track Does Your Mother Know + Hole In Your Soul from Live Wembley 1979; also from the same concert Summer Night City + Gimme, Gimme - both in a long version and a high live quality. All the best for you.
Thanks for watching the show 😎 and all the best to you as well Urs. Listening to ABBA has been so much fun, can't wait to do more !
Thank you for another great video reaction ✌🌟 Have you considered reacting to their songs from a couple of years ago, "Don't shut me down" and "I still have faith in you", just to compare 50 years of musical development or what not?❤
Hello Therese 😎 Yes we are going to do something from Voyage soon 😎😎
Try Elaine. The B side of the Winner takes it all singel. Very good up-tempo synth song. To me the where really ahead of their time on synths and production quality
If you want something with a bit more of an 80's vibe with synth etc then have a look at "The Visitors". That was their final album.
Think Abba were always considered corny even back in the 70's - although kitch is probably a better word than corny or even cheesey!! (Nothing wrong with kitch...or cheese). There's no doubt they were good at what they did. Even though half the planet liked them, most wouldn't admit it until much later....like me lol. They did a song called Eagle which is really good and worth checking, much more masterful, if the dad hasn't heard of it definitely give it a shot. I'd recommend the long version though because there's some good electric guitar solo's and there's also a youtube video for it.
I suppose anytime an artist become too popular around the world they're gonna be labeled "corny" at some point due to over exposure, kinda like the BeeGees were for awhile. However doesn't diminish their greatness and amazing legendary status 😎😎
Thanks.. you should try "Name of the game" or "Lay all your love on me" , or "Hole in your soul".
Definitely react to Eagle, So Long, Hey Hey Helen, The Visitors or Hole In Your Soul
Love your ABBA reactions - please do Chiquitita.
Thx Geoff we appreciate that 😎😎 Always more ABBA on the show ✌🏼
If you looking for more synth abba esque stuff, Benny & Bjorn wrote two albums for a Swedish band called Gemini in 1985 and 1987, TLC is a very cheesy 50's pastiche, and there is Slowly, I Am The Universe and I'm A Bitch When I See Red. You kinda see where Abba would have headed sonic wise in the mid 80's.
Sorry, but declaring one of the best pop songs of all times (ABBA did a lot of those) as cheesy and „alright“, is a bit ignorant. ;)
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and ABBA's music is so good that all opinions are valid, even if we may not agree
@@mikevale3620 Hey, I was only half-serious as you can tell by my ;) 😉
It's sound is quite European.So to an American listener i see it might sound "cheesy".But cheesy or not it's beauuutiful,charmingly naive and an earcandy 'pop honesty".Some "sqiliions' that had bought this record, enjoyed it wholeheatredly for sure.Meryl Streep and CHER also did it quite good for the outro of the 2nd Mamma mia movie.
completely agree- ty 🫡🙂
Pleeeease do Angel Eyes, if you already have then do Happy New Year, both are great show of amazing songwriting
'Angeleye's sped up version is a considerable tik tok trend right now
no kidding, feels like Tik Tok has taken over the world, ha 😎
Try Frida - I know there's something going on with Phil Collins on drums.
Fab suggestion 😎✌🏼
What says Ty "the Beloved??" Great Review...who ever had anyone ever get a call from glasgow at night🤪✌️🤯oh god I think Ty think they all had one on the swatter in the past... this isn't meant in a bad way but it had to be now
I think Ty is finally beginning to understand the awesome impact of ABBA 😎😎
They are really good.... over 400 million sold album ... And that's something to deal with... And Mikel Jackson sold over 750 million records worldwide, And Abba its not so far oway...
You are very very wrong.
@Lars-Göran Nilsson Okay now I have corrected it ... (according to Google) Thanks for correcting me ... 👍
Booo, he didn't really like it that much? This is such a good song, one of my favorites by ABBA
Maybe "The Winner takes it all" would be more likeable for your son. hehe
hmm a ballad next, interesting 😎😎
