I went to see abbamania at the Queens hall too. Was a good night in all. I agree with george that Frida was the much much better singer. She really stole the show. Would be good to see her doing some solo stuff at some point. I didn't like Agnethas voice as much. I have seen the other abbamania shows as well, and they are all much of a muchness. Just different singers singing the same songs. Had a great night and hopefully see them back soon. Great website. I went to see abbamania at the Queens hall too. Was a good night in all.

I had no idea the girls from the band were polish as I hadn't heard the interview on radio. I did say that it was a good night and that I was probably being picky, which is something that people seem to have missed in my original comment. Being an old ABBA fan from the 70's, I was expecting a better show. I also did not say there was anything wrong with "Agnethas" singing ................. she did speak and sing in a very stong accent, which I have been informed by several people is polish and not fake swedeish. I think the band could have made a wee bit more of an effort with cotumes, especially the male members of the show and the harmonies were not original to ABBAs, although there is no doubt that the girls can both sing (especially "Frida" who was the strongest and most talented vocalist in the show and I would have paid good money to hear that girl sing in a show of her own). Sorry if I sound like an old grump but that probably because I am. But I did have a good night. Oh Dear, i have caused a bit of a debate here!

Glad to see people are at least using the website. I agree with the 'abba girls' comment, Ewa Scott had mentioned in the interview that she was Polish (your polish accent would prob be awful too!) and I think you'll find they don't wear wigs or false beards as its a tribute to the music of ABBA and not as look-a-like group. Personally I thought it was very good, harmonies my not be as per the record but doubt you could reproduce these LIVE anyway. All in all I think its about enjoying yourself, its not ABBA its a fun night out. I've been at some really bad shows and still had a ball. Let your hair down. ha All the best everyone, and keep up the good work DCR. Well ABBAMANIA seems to have sparked a discussion anyway! Glad to see people are at least using the website.

My friends and I had a brilliant night and we even got to see Douglas off the radio strutting his stuff George I think Ewa Scott the singer you thought had a bad swedish accent may have been using her own accent, she said in the radio interview she came from Poland, regardless of her accent there was nothing wrong with her singing.

There are certainly several "ABBAMANIA" shows doing the rounds just now, and loads of good abba tributes going about in general, especiall after Mama Mia. I am a massive ABBA fan and have been since they first appeared in the seventies (yes I was there first time around and I'm giving away my age). Althought the abbamania show was fairly good, I was dissapointed at the lack of authenticity (Frida and Agnetha wearing wrong costumes, singing different harmonies from ABBA, Benny and Bjorn didn't have ABBA Hair do's or Authentic costumes and Agnethas fake swedish accent was simply awful...would have been better if she used her own accent and I felt the lighting show could have been much much better) but Im probably being picky and all in all it was a good night. I think ABBA were so fantastic that their music will always go down well, no matter which ABBAMANIA show sings it. However, I think that in Abba Tribute land, you just can't beat Bjorn Again, who are the original and the best ABBA Tribute in the World. I saw them in Edinburgh last year and they are simply incredible. Lots of debate over which abbamania show people prefer…..very unusual for a comments page!!!

I to thought they looked as if they really enjoyed themselves and i'm glad so many turned out and from what i've heard i.m also glad so many enjoyed the band. we seen another group last yesr in edinburgh using a similar name but there were only 6 in the group and no where near as good.
