ABBA Voyage: The Concert Residency – CONTAINS MAJOR SET LIST SPOILERS

[Pingu]

Surely they have, that's the whole point, no?!

The FUTURE is SO CONFUSING.

No they haven’t. I don’t know if I’d particularly want them to either.

 

[lolly]

Surely they have, that's the whole point, no?!

The FUTURE is SO CONFUSING.

If anything the whole point is that they HAVEN'T, isn't it?

 

[Peekaboo]

But didn't they just RECORD A WHOLE NEW ALBUM with their 2021 voices?! They presumably had MONTHS to record endless takes of live performances of their hits to then edit into something decent that could pass off as "as live".

 

[Peekaboo]

So it is just a FANCY PUPPET SHOW?!?!?

 

[lolly]

But didn't they just RECORD A WHOLE NEW ALBUM with their 2021 voices?! They presumably had MONTHS to record endless takes of live performances of their hits to then edit into something decent that could pass off as "as live".

But why would they want to present themselves as they were in the 1970s, but with vocals recorded while they are in their 70s?

The whole point is that it isn't Abba now.

 

[Peekaboo]

Well their dancing is 2021 dancing isn't it? They were motion-captured for that. If they can achieve the effect that an 80 year old lady is twirling to Voulez-Vous as if she was 35, then surely they can make her SOUND 35.

 

[Peekaboo]

Sorry, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, I'm just UPSET as all the PUBLICITY was STARTING TO GET ME until I found that out.

No, a huge proportion of the dancing isn't them, either.

I believe they got the members of ABBA to perform the songs, and then got sprightly young things to do those same moves, so you have the SPIRIT of the members of ABBA but without the creakiness.

 

[Peekaboo]

you have the SPIRIT of the members of ABBA

It's all a bit

for me.

 

[Nancy]

So is it modern day Abba or old Abba that’s singing the new album?

 

[Peekaboo]

It's Hatsune Miku by the sounds of it!

 

[Nancy]

We’re one step closer to that Hilary Cyrus episode of Black Mirror…

[COB]

It's Hatsune Miku by the sounds of it!

OMG I wish ABBA vocaloids!

 

[Nancy]

Who is Hatsune Miku?

 

[COB]

She's the original hologram queen

 

[Nancy]

Oh yes! I think I recognise her from ASFM

 

[Pingu]

I’m honestly so tired having to explain this show to people and it’s only been on for a day.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

No they haven’t. I don’t know if I’d particularly want them to either.

Wait, so basically you're going to watch some holograms and listen to ABBA gold?

 

[Lucille]

CARTOONS not HOLOGRAMS.

 

[Pingu]

Wait, so basically you're going to watch some holograms and listen to ABBA gold?

And it would still rank as one of my better evenings!

 

[HalamaK]

CARTOONS not HOLOGRAMS.

Aren't the guys walking in at the end holograms? Or are they the real ABBA? Or cartoons?

I'm confused.

 

[Lucille]

No they’re PUPPETS.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

 

[HalamaK]

No they’re PUPPETS.

I'm so confused.

 

[GNL]

No they’re PUPPETS.

They warned us

 

[GNL]

I don't know why people would want to listen to a pre-recorded 'live' vocal at a show they know isn't live TBH.

 

[Alias #23]

No they’re PUPPETS.

No they’re NOT. They’re MARIONETTES as in I’M A

 

[Alias #23]

Oh I see @Gangsta Nancy Lam sort of beat me to that one

 

[Alias #23]

It’s exactly the same as The Double Life of Véronique



I CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!

 

[Alias #23]

I don't know why people would want to listen to a pre-recorded 'live' vocal at a show they know isn't live TBH.

Some people are very unwell

 

[Nancy]

Did she get yelled at for not standing behind the yellow line?

 

[Peekaboo]

*books Bjorn Again tickets*

 

[Nancy]

How long before we all have holograms of ourselves that we can send out and do stuff for us?

 

[Alias #23]

*books Bjorn Again tickets*

Oh they’re VERY GOOD AREN’T THEY

Always dished it up with a SNEER I felt

 

[straightorbroken]

Live from Aspudden! How did my "Carola run over by train" google image search not show this I'll never know

 

[Peekaboo]

Oh they’re VERY GOOD AREN’T THEY

Always dished it up with a SNEER I felt

I saw them LIVE FROM A CAR PARK at Manchester Pride about ten years ago and I don't think the memory of that can honestly compare with this technical wizardry which may or may not contain traces of Agnetha.

 

[lolly]

Who are they?

Where are Nanne and Carola?
