Why I Chose this Group?
I chose to research on this group because I like this
group. Also, I chose to do about this group because their
songs are nice.
I like the rhythm of some of the songs that they sing, likeEagle or Dancing Queen.
I dont really like rock songs, and most of the songs that
they sing, that I know about, arent too rocking.

The last reason why I chose to do
my show about this group is
because of the song Happy New
Year. It is a very well-known song
and I like it.
