The return of ABBA, something I thought would never happen but here we are (almost..) Benny and Bjorn have lost nothing of their musical prowess and although the four of them have aged a little, this new album is simply brilliant.

I still think they should have had avatars for the upcoming shows that show how they've aged, instead of pretending they are still the same as they were in their heyday. If they were doing the concerts in person you would see their real selves and be jolly pleased to do so - why not do the same with the avatars? The girls are plainly still in good voice and that's what really matters.

I remember in the late 70s where there was either an ELO or Abba (or both) song in the charts every week...

The girls are plainly still in good voice and that's what really matters. *wanders off, grumbling* I see what you mean about aged Abbatars but a lot of people would say why bother with that? Just have a residency somewhere. Yes they are in good voice , at least in the studio, but it seems to me that A+A really weren't interested in going out "live live" and going through what would maybe a gruelling tour if they didn't do a residency. And as much as it's wrong I think that they would be judged not only on their voices but their looks. etc unlike B+B. They may well roll this format around the world if it proves successful. At the moment I'm sort of excited and curious as to how it's going to work I sort of think I'd rather see this than see them as they are now. There are plenty of artists in their elder years performing brilliantly. JL obvs. Tom Jones etc . But there are just as many (perhaps even more) where you say "time to pack it in". So, ultimately I'm going to reserve judgement until I see the show next May .

I do see your point nickheynes - at the end of the day it will either be a good night out or not. And we're lucky that all four members managed to agree on any kind of reunion at all. Really looking forward to hearing your review

I went to see Sir Tom Jones recently and he was in fine voice had a cracking night. Hopefully ABBA fans will enjoy it, let’s face it nobody was expecting a new album let alone any kind of a show. Plus all four members.....

Tom Jones is amazing, he's never been trained and apparently sings in a way that makes experts say he will ruin his voice. Hasn't happened yet though... He's also prepared to try (and succeed at) all sorts of musical styles instead of sticking to what made him famous. And of course there's his epic cameo in Mars Attacks! What a legend
