Now it seems like it is finally real. ABBA is doing a comeback in the Eurovision song contest in Istanbul performing “Waterloo”. I wonder how they will sound... ;)
Have a look at:
http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,450706,00.html
in swedish though...

I knew something was strange, what Aftonbladet is talking about is a video that will be shown druing the finals, and that video is recorded separately. The ABBAs have not met each other in it... So this isn’t really real.

@ Thomas, this is what I heard as well from a source in the UK, a comedy video will be shown that is being produced by the UK’s RIK MAYELL. Each Abba member will record there own part and they will be edited together for the eurovision... if this is the case it is rather sad!

That’s interesting. . .we never hear a flippin’ thing about Eurovision over here though.

Really? :|
If that’s true... now who’s gonna say Roxette waited for too long when they left it in 1995 to come back in 1999? :p
Santi said on March 25, 2004 13:27:
Isn’t it great just how music business and tech can put together people who can’t stand each other??? Gessle and the rapers in the same concert, the ABBA’s, Gallagher Brothers, Modern Talking, The Eagles... ;)

An end to the ABBA reunion rumours.... ;)
Small-talker said on May 12, 2004 11:36:
I doubt they’d be reforming.
Bjorn appeared on an Irish talk-show very very recently (promoting the musical Mamma Mia), saying that he hadn’t seen any of the other members of Abba ’for quite some time’.
ally77 said on May 12, 2004 17:21:
They have suppose to have recorded a video... I think it will have been seperate... 3 of ABBA members where at mamma mia in April in London including Frida... it was only Agnetha who did not show..
I can’t wait till Saturday night! ;)

was that the great video? they were not even recorded together :S
ally77 said on May 12, 2004 22:10:
It seems all hush hush... but I think.. it is a video with the ABBA members also with Rik Mayell (a UK funny man!) but it’s all hidden away till Saturday night!
Jud (moderator) said on May 13, 2004 05:49:
well the video I saw shows abba puppets, the abba members appear one here one there during the video.. and I don’t know the british guy but I would say there was a british guy on this video.. at least had british accent :P
clerk said on May 13, 2004 06:33:
At the end of the video all 4 members walk out of the elevator, when the 4 puppets walk in...
ally77 said on May 13, 2004 08:09:
@ Clerk.. yeah that is what I heard.... but that was some time ago...
@ Judith... The British guy is called Rik Mayell, a kind of funny man from the 90’s who use to be part of a duo act called Bottom (about two single men living togeather!)

I do wish they would repeat that show....
ally77 said on May 13, 2004 08:17:
They did the world prem of the video on BB3 last night from the semi finals in Turkey...

PS:News reports the following on the UK’s Channel4 Teletxt service (page 351, 6/9)
“The four members of Abba have been reunited for their first public appearance since splitting in 1982.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Waterloo winning Eurovision, Benny, Bjorn, Anni-Frid and Agnetha make cameo appearances in a new video for the single, reissued next week.
The video also stars Rik Mayall and Cher, and was shown for the first time ever on BBC3 last night”.
PS:News is a very reliable source, who usually don’t run stories on artists unless they have confirmation from the artists themselves - or have seen the item (like a video, or an official album tracklisting) with their own eyes.
Looks like a lot has happened since Benny appeared on that Irish chat show, eh?
Anyways... have fun with your new video!
Jud (moderator) said on May 13, 2004 16:42:
well it is TRUE that they showed the video yesterday during the semi-finals.. that’s why I saw it!
But uh, to call it a some kind of “reunion” is erh..

Waterloo i at #20 in the UK singles chart this week, and #33 in the Irish singles chart. Nothing as successful as when originally released - but, Abba now have Roxette-syndrome over here - No Promotion! Or is it like that everywhere? It’s not even getting played on the radio here!
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 21:01:
No and I still have not seen the video that was shown at EUROVISON! major dissappointment...
