Another good review, This was Abba's return to success in the UK, Waterloo hit No'1 in spring 1974, the next 3 singles failed, in Autumn 1975 Abba released S.O.S which peaked at No'6, and started a run of 18 consecutive top 10 hits. Their next single release is Mamma Mia, if you want to react to their musical development.

hi can you do abba dancing queen also abba pioneer the music video the most before them they were just promotional videos they were the first that made it into a art form at that time telling a story through the different shots plus when they were making these songs sometimes it used to to take weeks to come up with a composition they really liked and used to work on every detail of the songs and the music came before the lyrics and they matched the lyrics to the music and a lot of abba fans feel like there music is sad and happy at the same time and have a lot of songs that have italian spanish disco etc melodies which is very unique thats why they have so much appeal worldwide they reinvented themselves so many times they were also the first non english singing group to find sucess internationally and on a lot of the abba songs the 2 girls actually sang together in usion it sounded like it was just one voice so it made more of a fuller sound which is very unique.

I think most viewers of reaction channels are fed up to the back teeth with people offering their interpretation of what the lyrics of a song might mean. I know I am. Those who are interested will invariably know already what the song means and those who aren't will just click over to another channel, because you have lost their attention. Nor, I suggest, are people bothered about anything to do with the video. In fact, reactions should be confined to audio only, a lyrics video or the band performing live. Anything else is just a distraction for you and for the viewer. With respect, you didn't react to this song, you just offered your interpretation of what you believed the meaning to be. And that's not interesting. At all. What is interesting is watching a reactor react. On an emotional level. How does the song make you feel? Does it grab you? Does it alter your mood in anyway? Did it make you happy? Did it make you sad? Seriously, we viewers want to see honest emotion from you. We want to see a reactor affected by the music, in a similar way to how we were affected when we first heard it. I've been listening to music for over 60 years, across all genres, and I don't know half of the lyrics or meanings to the songs I've listened to, and I have no interest to find out. Because everyone interprets music in their own way and the same song can mean many different things to many people. And they are all right. I want to see people of your generation react to the music, like we did when we first heard it on a crappy transistor radio or a friend's turntable, with joy at a new-found discovery, not an intellectual dissertation and dissection of the "meaning" behind it all. We just want to see the "meaning" on your face as you first listen and then begin to hear what is playing. That, imho, is the difference between a successful reaction channel and one that is not and will struggle ever to be. In essence it's a very simple formula; we want to see that moment when you realise you have found a piece of music that genuinely makes you FEEL something. That is the pot of gold, for you and for us. The rest, frankly, is just toothpaste in a sea of toothpaste. I wish you every success with your channel and look forward to you reacting more and interpreting less.
