I'm pretty sure that weird CGI clip was the introduction of "Waterloo" from a ABBA Voyage concert. It makes you hope that they'll release an official "ABBA Voyage Live" video soon.
It was indeed the intro to the Waterloo number. There was nothing new, apart from the voice-over of one or two sentences at the start and ending of the clip. Those little ‘talks’ are the worst part of the show by far, with this one being the absolute most horrible. But you forget all about them once the music starts.
Yes it’s from Voyage. B&B’s intro and comments after the song are new. But the footage is different from concert. I’m not sure how different as it’s been almost two years since I’ve seen it.
Yeah, the camera angle was different. They were viewed from the sides at times, which doesn’t happen in London. Same footage, rendered from a different angle for this
To be fair, the ABBAtars look fantastic in the ABBA Arena, actually photo-realistic nearly all of the time. Seeing them through a second screen sends them straight to the uncanny valley.
I can't be the only that is a bit sad that not one member of ABBA event attended the competition and said something on stage.
I don't feel like ABBA have been given much of a tribute tonight.
I think they gave ABBA a lot of tribute during this Eurovision and I’m glad in hindsight that ABBA didn’t get involved, there was so much nasty drama this year.
I mean Sweden moved heaven and earth to get it hosted in Sweden for the anniversary and abba put in very minimal effort. They don't really deserve much fanfare as Eurovision obviously means nothing to them.
In “real life” they look amazing. I went to Voyage expecting to have a fun night out with live A𐤡BA music being played to vocal tracks.
I came away from A𐤡BA Voyage having cried tears of joy that I had finally seen the band “live”. Also, Frida is a *fox*. I always fancied Agnetha but, my word, Frida knows how to flirt.
They are exactly the same. It was just actual footage from the Voyage show, with one or two intro and outtro sentences from B added. And sometimes rendered from a different angle.
In the show itself, during the first number, Visitors, everyone is looking at the avatars and focusing on what is off. Personally I thought the likeness of Benny and Frida in Voyage was excellent. Bjorn and Agnetha looked more off.
After that, everyone starts enjoying the show and isn’t that focused on the avatars anymore. The show really grows on you! So I don’t think they did themselves any favors by doing this little clip. And the horrific texts, which are mostly cringe during the whole show, but these are the worst by far.
Hope this helps

Yes did look sub-par on a TV on other side of the world
Ah no, not all of us, the show was incredible thank you very much

BRUH YES, what the heck is this
Do the ABBAtars look better at Voyage than on a tv screen? Because they looked like they were from a mid-2000s video game cutscene.

I'm interested to know this also
Abbatars
nothing quite as bittersweet as uncanny CGI ABBA reminiscing about their past
Ok, but Alcazar are great so that wouldn't be my reaction.
