ABBA have got together

@Tiffany

I did like ABBA , still do from the early years, but they are all in their 70.s now & voices change over the years not to mention looks so in a way I can’t see how that will work.
I see now, digital ABBA. Still not convinced.

Yes I understand that Tiff, but I’m still glad they are doing it. Who knows they may even sound better.

Is this the best image they could come up with though?

They are going digital hence the gadgets on them.

I absolutely love that image, what a good looking group, they haven’t changed much, I recognised them straight away.
The couples were also married to each other at one time.
Tony Blackburn back in the day said they would never amount to much.

I think he got that wrong…

They can thank Molly Meldrum the Australian DJ for their world wide success.After “Waterloo” they hit a bit of a slump but he awakened interest in them again by his fervent promotion of their songs.

HI Roxy

I’ve changed the tags for you …

“Hated” ABBA at the time, love 'em now …

ABBA’s “abbatars”:

It may spawn a 70s revival, great.

Benny says in the interview he wasn’t sure if the ladies could still sing but then found out that they can.
I think they are again blessed that all of them are still alive and were physically capable of seeing the whole project through. What a fantastic experience for all of them, and what’s more, that they were enjoying each other’s company again.
I can understand that they wouldn’t be so eager to go on tour again. So the avatars are actually a smart idea but why not give them their real looks? Spares them the physical challenge and would have looked even more authentic. They all look great. Yet perhaps they think differently about that.

I heard ‘the new old’ Abba on the radio yesterday and those ladies can still sing

[Zaphod]

Abba were great in their day - but to me that’s their biggest problem because that day was getting on for 50 years ago now.
The world has moved on and although I think they’re extremely brave even to attempt what they are attempting, IMHO there are some things better left alone & this is one of those things.
Like @Meg above, I heard some of their new stuff too and while the vocals aren’t exactly what anybody could call dire I still found myself shaking my head and thinking “why”?
I was not impressed.

Each to their own though.

Oh yes, happy days.

Why the return. it isn’t money related is it.

[Mags]

I look forward to listening to what they have to offer now.

Thanks Omah, I just can’t get to grips with this tag business. I know what to do, and when I type in a 2nd tag, I usually get a pop up telling me that “this tag has already been used”??? So I just have to faff about till I can get somewhere to accept the post.

[Rox]

I don’t think so, the fans have been at them for…ever. So maybe they just finally said “why not”

I have not seen that message concerning tags but I have seen it concerning titles.

I suggest that the next time it happens send me a PM and I will investigate.

I thought they all hated each other .
