I always thought Beyonce should have released Smash Into You from I am.. It had great potential, but then looking back she released If I were a boy, Halo and Broken hearted girl. So I suppose not all the songs she was going to released were going to have a slow tempo..

Always found it odd that they overlooked that in favour of Does Your Mother Know.
Eagle deserved to get a full single release methinks. Or how about Just Like That

Madonna - Words (Erotica album) - Phenomenal song, should have been released sounds as immense today!
![]() Skin (Ray Of Light album) imagine the video to it! SHOULD have been 6th single. Impressive Instant (Music album) again an immense Sonic song that would have been huge! Spanish Eyes (Like A Prayer album) a bit of a cult classic, spectacular summer feel to it too! Britney Spears - Toy SOldier (Blackout Album) - Punky Electro track! I got A Plan (Blackout ALbum) again something seductive and different. Beyonce - Hip Hop Star (Dangerous In Love) instant smash for me! Cyndi Lauper - Lay Me Down (Bring Ya To The Brink) beautiful Robyn style song .....at the fore of my mind THUS far

If it wasnt for the nights would never have worked as a single. It sounds so dated today. In fact there really isnt any other single on the Voulez Vous album.

Just Like That is phenomenal but I don't think it would have been a hit given the way they were viewed at the time but it would be wonderful to have a quality version of the track, if one even exists. . |

I don't agree, it sounds better today than Does Your Mother Know and there's nothing wrong with a track that has that dated, 70s disco vibe.
Eagle I agree with. Just Like That is phenomenal but I don't think it would have been a hit given the way they were viewed at the time but it would be wonderful to have a quality version of the track, if one even exists. . I love 'Head over Heels' myself but it should never have been released as a single and I definitely feel was responsible for them plummeting off the planet so quickly. 'The day before you came' should never have got the poor reception it got but the damage had been done by the previous single. |

The Day Before You Came is my favourite Abba song after Winner.
I was re-introduced to the Voulez-Vous album a few years back when a bar in Gran Canaria kept playing Nights and Angel Eyes. |

Eagle deserved to get a full single release methinks. Or how about Just Like That ![]() as for `just like that`. they were never happy with the abba version. eventually, they updated song and give it to `gemini` in 1985. |

When All Is Said And Done
Happy New Year Eagle/Thank You For The Music and Honey Honey should all have been UK singles for ABBA just as they were eslewhere. Sometimes I just didn't understand EPIC's logic at bypassing certain songs as singles. |

'Crayons' should have been released from Donna Summer's 'Crayon' (2008) |
