ABBA Idol
Ring Ring? Knowing Me, Knowing You? Chiquitita? What will the Idols sing come Abba night?

Sunday night it’s Eighties, then the week after it’s Aussie Hits.
Then hold onto your white jumpsuits, it’s ABBA night.
Australian Idol’s Top 9 singers will be warbling their best Frida and Agnetha on Sunday October 5th.
That’s surely a challenge for the boys, given many of the songs are strongly associated as female numbers. The band only recorded a handful of songs with a male lead, including Rock Me and Does Your Mother Know.
Still, the band has an iconic pop discography. Idol makes no apology for seeking to create a pop star.
And girls, no fighting over The Winner Takes It All please…..

Wouldn’t it be amazing if they got 1 of the Abba guys to come down to mentor them – that would be def worth watching.
Maybe Kylie & Dannii can fly in to perform their cover of The Winner Takes It All – dreams are free lol.
Dancing Queen was done by one of the Top 100 as their solo song (they showed a fair bit of the performance), but she was the last one cut from the Top 24.
The guys will find it a major challenge, but it will be fascinating to see how they cope! I can bet that none of the guys will choose Gimme Gimme Gimme, though 😉
My picks for the nine tracks that they’ll choose:
SOS
Waterloo
The Winner Takes It All
Mama Mia
Fernando
Voulez Vous
Gimme Gimme Gimme
Take A Chance On Me
Chiquitita
Maybe Dancing Queen, but as I said, that’s already been done.
Fantastic. I don’t think i’ve ever seen an ABBA song, sung on Idol. I hope they can do them justice.
Wouldn’t it be good, if they could get a mentor from the group.
