"I will always love you" (Whitney Houston) - interesting ROCk cover by Swedish singer ERIK GRÖNWALL

A couple of years ago i was in a pool hall in Stockholm Sweden. I went to the bathroom to take a piss and meanwhile i was there i heard the most beautiful singing voices coming from the urinal outside the stall. I went to the sink to wash up and i met two guys. so i said "Thank you so much for giving some sweet vocals when im taking a piss. much appreciated" They said "no problem, Happy to be of service" or something like that. Then i realized it was Erik and his friend. I told him i appreciated his work and went on my way.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that the other Swedish singer that was recommended to you was Tommy Johansson. Tommy was former guitarist for power metal group Sabaton and is lead singer/guitarist for power metal band Majestica, which he formed. He is arguably the best metal voice out there because of his versatility, covering everything from Disney (check out his Circle of Life) to Celine Dion to ABBA and up the scale to metal. He and Erik did a collab on a Sabaton song - Carolus Rex too. These two singers are two of my favourites.

AMAZING!! 🇸🇪 Bra Jobbat Erik! The Most Powerful Version Ever!!

He so nailed this song, brought it to life from the male's pov. Erik once stated that singing high is easier for him than low. Then he went and nailed a Johnny Cash song. (God's gonna cut you down). He also nails duo's. Especially his ex-band's (HEAT) song he sang with Dan Vasc called Breaking The Silence. (My favorite duo!). Thank you for highlighting Erik's work.

Erik is an awesome singer.. world class!

My god, I didn’t know this guy but he’s soooo good

Please check out his friend Tommy Johansson!!

Thank you for reacting to Erik. I really enjoyed your analysis and comments.

Eriks cover of Black Sabbath’s Headless cross are amazing 😀🇸🇪

Hallelujah is one of my all time favorite songs. Tommy Johansson has covered that song as well, if you'd like to hear his rock-tinged version of it.

Thank you for a great review with professional guidelines as the song progresses, and for the kind words about swedish singers, songwriters, producers 🇸🇪

Erik had the honor to sing this song on the private birthday party for the Swedish Queen.

Thank You, yes Erik is fantastic! I saw at the end a part of Hallelujah You sang, great! You must check out Tommy Johansson and he's version of that song. Rolf from Stockholm 😊

He is an incredible singer with an even more incredible story! A quick summary: Swedish Idol winner (audition with 18 and Life SkidRow) 2009, after that he joined H.E.A.T as a lead singer. He had to do a bone marrow transplant to beat cancer. Under that time started his yt channel under his recovery because he really wanted to keep singing. 6 months after that he joined SkidRow after they had seen his yt channel. He has now stepped down as a lead singer in SkidRow to focus on his health. I’m guessing you’re doing Tommy Johansson next? She is gone or one of his ABBA covers is a good start. Don’t forget Chris Kläfford Cold At The Altar, is my recommendation!

In Sweden all public schools offer free or subsidised music classes, and roughly 30% of students attend these. Thus a great number of Swedes, regardless of class or background, learn to play instruments and/or sing. This has lead to music becoming one of our most important exports, both when it comes to groups like ABBA, Roxette, Europe, solo artists, musicians and song writers/producers like Max Martin, Avicii and Ludwig Göransson. I guess that could also explain why there are so many applying to the conservatory.

In Sweden we have a state sponsored culture school (Kulturskolan) that is an after school activity. There kids can learn to sing or play an instrument really cheap! My daughter learns to play violin there and we hire a violin from them as well. And it is very cheap! So music education for kids is very accessible here.

In Stockholm, we also have since the nineteen forties a public music elementary and high school, Adolf Fredrik, to which you have to audition. It has an extensive education in choir singing and music theory, and many renowned Stockholm musicians have attended it. Molly Sandén, Jonah Nilsson, Carola Häggqvist, Peter Jöback, and many many opera singers like Nina Stemme. And it’s free of course. I went there myself between grade 4 to 9 in elementary, as did my uncle, but I never had a music career of my own 😁

Hello Johan, first time on channel. Here's a recommendation to react to Gabriel Henrique, a Brazilian Gospel singer, doing I Have Nothing as well as this song. Both songs were done six years ago so his English has improved. He also auditioned for AGT last year performing Whitney's I Want To Run To You. What can I say he's a big fan of Whitney, Mariah, Celine and Christiana... Be prepared to be amazed! Be beautiful...❤❤❤

Yes this cover is awesome but i recommend you to listen to Eriks first cover on the Chanel, the cover of Black Sabbaths Headless cross he was in the middle of his cancer treatment when he did it. He had also done a Johnny Cash cover god will cut you down. I promise that you won't be disappointed.

I will always love you is a Dolly Parton song. It was written and recorded by her. Whitney did a cover of Dolly's song.
