I agree with him 100%. ABBA broke up when they were still young.
Some things are better left alone and kept sacred.

Ahh come on now you don't think it would be a great idea to replace the reclusive yet inimatable and vocally gifted Agnetha with a backup singer to do her parts and hit the road for the dinero!

what a joke.. Agnetha is irreplaceable. Few singers are, as Freeddie Mercury, Mick Hucknall or Agnetha Faltskog.

But I don't think "Some things are better left alone and kept sacred" just because they broke up when they were still young.

Cause fortunately I could see in concert Fleetwood Mac, Donna Summer, Roger Waters in the present, when they are not young anymore, and believe me they did great shows, I was not dissapointed. I thank God they wanted to go on the road again, cause I couldn't see them in the 70s or 80s, when I was too young.

So I think ABBA could perform a GREAT SHOW.

If they think they feel old, they should ask Cher for the recipe.

kicthsy sartorial choices notwithstanding ,ABBA once they hit the big time were always very protective of their image so in that light I don't believe that it will ever happen .

You couldn't replace either Agnetha or Frida. They are the voices of Abba... very distinctive!

Along with that fact the way these two women blended their voices together was a sound distinctive to how either sounded alone and it was a thing to behold ..and I can attest that even live they did it flawlessly.

Stop rubbing it in that you've seen them live

Well, I just saw this movie today, and I have to say they did a GREAT job on it!! IMO.. It brought back SOOO many memories of the great Abba songs! Of course, when we got home, we went right to YouTube to see Agnatha and Frieda and the guys sing, and they were just incredible! I also wish they would re-kindle their band and go on tour, but from what I read I don't think that's in the cards. Their music is outstanding to say the least!

Someone has got to be kidding at the thought of replacing Agnetha. Cmon now. That's not ABBA. That's _BBA. Or ABB_. And blasphemous.

As much as I would love to see them.. they're damn right to do what they are doing. Some stuff is just too special to even think about lasting for forever.

ABBA > life

I was joking and making a reference to the preposterous and tacky notion posted on the Rumours forum regarding Fleetwood Mac's idea odf getting a 'back up singer" to do Christine's vocals and songs on the upcoming tour.
