Love the picture :)

I know what you mean, Abba's an amazing band but Amanda just has that voice that's so peaceful :)

Right?? She's put something new into those songs, something that makes me wanna replay the soundtrack again. Watching 'Mamma Mia' i was all like "MY GOD! I WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT!". Ahh, there's wishing...

Hahaha I know! I absolutely love the movie so much and the everyone does a great job on the songs. I really like "Winner takes it all" plus my favorites of "Voulez Vouz" and "Gimme Gimme Gimme". Oh man! I just want to watch the movie now! Unfortunately it's back home.... :(

Oh, yes, "Winner takes it all"!! Did you know that Meryl sang it in her first take when they were recording in a studio? Even the ABBA guys were impressed!

Really? I did not know that! That's really cool though. But my parents are coming to visit me at college and asked if I wanted them to bring anything from home...I asked if I could borrow the movie so hopefully I'll be able to watch it again!!

I was bummed out that they didn't sing Fernando since that was one of my favorite songs at the time when it came out, but Meryl hums a bit in one scene :)

I read somewhere that it didn't really fit the musical (song relates to war after all), so they made her humm it in that scene to satisfy the fans :)

Yea, that makes a lot of sense, even though it is a great song, it wouldn't have fit at all.

Who was your favorite character? I liked Sky, but Harry was my favorite. He was so funny!

Oh, most def Tanya. Had no idea Christine Baranski can sing that well! Also an extremally hot and confident character, I like that in a woman. My role model :)
