Mamma Mia!: A Girl Power Musical

I'm a huge fan of broadway. Good thing, my gurlfriends agreed to watch it last saturday on our reunion.



The movie tells about the story of a girl who invites her mom's three ex-lovers-suspected-fathers-of-sophie to her wedding. I'm not gonna be a spoiler to tell you the whole story here,besides, im not in the mood. But i can tell you that you'll never regret watching this gurl power musical coz it will not bore you, the characters will sing your favorite Abba Songs every 10 minutes. And, the movie has full of choreography and dancing which i love. Not to mention, Pierce Brosnan is still superrr hot! whew!


Anyway, i enjoyed watching Mamma Mia, especially, I'm with my OWSA gurlfriends, truly a Girl Power moment!


Here are my favorite Abba Songs:


The Winner Takes It All

I cried on this part, when Meryl Streep sang this with full power and emotions to Pierce Brosnan. Femme fatale!

I dont wanna talk
About the things weve gone through
Though its hurting me
Now its history
Ive played all my cards
And thats what youve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
Thats her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking Id be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
Its simple and its plain
Why should I complain.

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?

Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I dont wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
Youve come to shake my hand

I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence

But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all......


Thank You for the Music

This song is somehow related to me especially the first to third stanza.

Im nothing special, in fact
Im a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke,
youve probably heard it before
But I have a talent,
a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens
when I start to sing
Im so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say Thank you for the music,
the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance
what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And Ive often wondered,
how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, Im a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music,
the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Ive been so lucky,
I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
So I say
Thank you for the music,
the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
