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.


12/13

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.
