Re: ABBA are back!!

I'm usually very cynical about resurrected bands - they can resurrect the music but they can't resurrect the "context" of their heyday .....

Having said that, Benny and Bjorn are consummate musicians while Agnetha could sing "I'm having eggs for breakfast and chips on my own for tea" and I'd be entranced, so, this time, I'll reserve judgement .....

Re: ABBA are back!!

I forget the word i'm looking for....... when they have an image on a screen.
Like when Nat King Cole sang a duet with Natalie Cole.
Well whatever the word, on Bbc Breakfast this morning they were saying Abba would be in their 70s now, so any new concerts could be images of them on screen singing, while they mime at the front of the stage.

The lovely Agnetha is only 68 .....

Anni-Frid is 72, Bjorn is 73 and Benny 71 .....

If they were to perform live, the band could user Auto-Tune or a similar device available for audible pitch correction in music, as many singers do (remember Katie Price's "A Whole New World""?) ......

Auto-Tune removed:

I believe they are to use Hologram technology on stage, im sure it will be accepted by the fans as part of the show.

Re: ABBA are back!!

I also think an album would have been better. I know it would have been a lot more work for them but sometimes singles just sort of get lost without an album.

Also Floydy might have to rearrange his top 100.
