Benny Andersson Praises Pierce Brosnan's Singing Ability

 
July 2, 2008 
 

Benny Andersson says Pierce Brosnan "has a great voice."

The ABBA singer has hit back at critics who say the James Bond actor - who stars in new musical movie 'Mamma Mia!', which features a host of ABBA songs - has no musical ability.

He said: "Everybody complains that Pierce can't sing and it p****s me off. I think he has a great voice. He couldn't sing 'Nessun Dorma' but neither could I - and I was in ABBA."

"It's like saying Bob Dylan can't sing. It's just not fair. He has a good voice."

The 61-year-old Swede also revealed how Catherine Johnson's script for the musical - which raked in a phenomenal $2 billion worldwide as a theatre production before being adapted for the big screen - convinced the band to allow their tracks to be used.

He added in an interview with Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Her script made all the difference. It takes an audience to decide for you. We were surprised by the success of the musical, everyone was."
