Erik is not just any guy with great vocals; he has an incredible story. His first audition for Swedish Idol was denied, but he returned a few years later and won the entire competition. To this day, in my opinion, he is the most humble and talented winner we’ve had in Sweden. He is a perfect example of not giving up when things don’t go your way in pursuing your life and dreams. He also beat cancer and is now the host of a podcast, helping others through this difficult process (including my mother, who beat breast cancer last year). He shares his journey and how, through this tough period, he still appreciates and loves life. He’s one of the truest gems ever to reach a worldwide audience, coming from Sweden. Thanks, Erik!
If he did the rock covers I heard, i understand: not very different from what i've heard from others. But the pop songs!!! Wow & I'm a rock fan so it says a lot. GREAT AMAZING TRUE SIGNER
Jesus Christ… there are voices that move us to tears, make us appreciate life, and remind us of everything that matters through a song. He is one of those voices.
This guy has got one set of pipes. Incredible breath control, beautiful vibrato, and those lungs must be as big the Goodyear Blimp. Erik, if you read this, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE release these covers of yours on CD. And then record a hundred more.
No one can teach people to sing like this , you are born to do it and for someone to find you like a rare stone waiting to be turned in to a rare and beautiful diamond.
After hearing you for the first time singing Oh Holy night, I had to come check out some of your other songs. OMG dude! Your god given tallent is AMAZING! It's like butter!! UGH I wish I had that tallent. Thank you for gifting us by sharing your beautiful vocals!!
After 40+ years as a musician. Anytime I get to the point of actually thinking I can sing. I bump into Dimash & guys like this! (Although there's not many guys like this!!) INCREDIBLE!!
Erik won Swedish Idol in 2009, from 2010-2020 he recorded 4 albums with the Swedish Hard Rock band H.E.A.T. and then from 2022-2024 he recorded 1 album with American Hard Rock band Skid Row.
Massive fan of this guy for years and saw him in concert with H.E.A.T. As someone over 60 I had firm ideas about the top 5 rock singers. But now I'm genuinely wondering who of all my favourites could outdo Erik. He can sing in any mood, in any style, in any genre and still blow your ears off. And in all of that he has battled through leukaemia and come out the other side with all pipes belting at number 11. Erik, please do us all a favour and record all of these classic songs into an album.
Your voice is amazing, it gives me chills! I was looking up Christmas songs for a playlist & found your 'Oh Holy Night' & that started the sesrch for more of your music. I'm sending your songs to all my friends!
I've watched all the new videos of course, going back to previous. OMFG you sang this with perfection 💞 The end of this song, best vocals ever!!!!! keep smiling!
I am 81 years old and I am overcome with the amazing feelings inside myself from your cover of this song. Thank you for singing the trith of my heart.❤❤❤❤❤
I literally want you to do a cover of every song I love so I can just listen to your versions. No disrespect to the original artists when i say I've preferred your version of every song you've done. Mind blown over and over 🤯🤯
Time Bomb off of Skid Rows album with Erik. Takes me right back to the sound of the late 70s - early 90s. Rockin! ua-cam.com/video/zAv1EQLGSLE/v-deo.htmlsi=ZGS89K2xJiMpg8wU
@@angiebraun4954 come on, HEAT songs were much better than that. He would deserve a band like Guns n Roses in 1989, a worldwide famous one for real with huge gigs.
We all remember who we were thinking about way back when, when we hear this song, Erik literally strips us all raw and bloody, memories forever leaving those hallowed scars of times gone by, decadent and dark
Hi Diana Thanks to you and the other GPC members for welcoming me so well in Stockholm.. It was a fantastic evening Greetings "The Mysterious Eddie" From Denmark 🔴⚪
I wish this song beautifully sung by you, Erik would bring Punky back to me😢😢😢and your piano artist my grandmother had a baby grand piano she played OMG I was so blessed..to grow up knowing true talent and what it takes you two are AMAZING❤❤❤
That was absolutely magnificent‼️ I especially loved the vibrato on the last note of the run with the high note. It’s a little thing but it’s a big thing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Waiting for your next visit to Cape Town! Gosh your voice and control is like no other singer on earth. I would buy 100 of your CD's and send one to everybody I know and some!
I'm at a loss for words, and I don't even listen to Celine Dion. I remember my mom listening when I was young (I'm 31 now) but never personally acquired a taste for her music. This is ____ing epic and I applaud your vocal range :D
Jeez, that's not normal. I am completely speechless. What a powerful voice and how the tones are hit seems to be from out of this world. Hard to find words for this outstanding performance.
How is that possible when it's impossible? Dear Eric, you´re better and better. Your voice so clear, high notes and you sing so calmly and lightly! WOW, thank you.
Wtf Erik!!!!!!!! Im crying lika a f***ing baby. Just like when i heard you sing Show must go on on Idol! Yours voice, my goodness! You are one of the best singers in Sweden now! No fucking joke! ❤❤ U made my day! Tack!
@ms-uh2tw I know that! I meant i got the same feeling I felt that day I heard him sing that song : Extremely proud!! If you're a singer yourself, u know that those songs are extremely hard to sing. You need so mutch technical skills to breathe at the right time to take the high notes. This sing is not for everyone ! 😊
OMG!!!!!! WTF!!!! Stop it will you! This is just ridiculous! Goosebumps on the goosebumps! Such a force of nature you are Erik! I can't wait for the reactors to be mind blown once more by this OUTSTANDING performance! 🤩😱😍
❤❤❤ I wish you could see the reactions of everyone watching this. You blow me away. Brought tears to my eyes and chills covered my body. You are a true artist!
I completely agree. I think he shows more emotions in this song than Celine Dion. I still like Eric Carmen's version the best. He shows a lot of emotions in his version also.

Dang. I just discovered Erik today. The same day that my young niece passed away from breast cancer. And then I saw your comment. I am stunned

I’ll buy that! Man’s a virtuoso! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Hell yes! I would buy in in half a ❤ beat

Erik, you are AMAZING, may you be successful 🥳💪💥😎🫶💝🎉🇸🇰
Your range is unbelievable!!!!! OMG and your piano/ guitar guy is talented beyond belief- hope you guys stick together- the chemistry is obvious.
Tack!
I may have found my favorite male vocalist of all time.
I think Eric Carmen would applaud hearing this version of his imortal song. SUPERB !!!
The note you hit 3:03 made me drop my phone. Holy hell i wasn't expecting that
It´s so good that you hardly believe! His songtechnigue, lungcapacity, range and then add so much emotions, and beauty, it´s just perfect!
I’m in my sixties I’ve been to many concerts and listened to a lot music.This guy is soooo amazingly special .
I was born in 63 -- best male vocals I've heard in my life: period.
🤯
My play lists are almost exclusively Eric and Dan (Vasc); amazing singers
Absolutely 💯
И Томми Йохансен @@leighstevens1075

You, young man, have a voice that can help heal shattered hearts. Thank you ❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The best ‘All by myself’ performance I’ve ever heard. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Me too….I listened to that just tonight for the first time…..and clicked more….he is amazing!
I say the same. Amazing, ¡wonderful!
Me too
check house of rising sun, my favourite..
@boredutopia I did the first day I heard him. He did it justice. It's a fave of mine too.
No challenge. You are way better than Celine because your emotions are real when you sing. You're pianist is amazing. Love you both to bits.
That vibrato😮❤🥹
Amazing voice. This is true talent!
Best cover of this song ever!
After 40+ years as a musician. Anytime I get to the point of actually thinking I can sing. I bump into Dimash & guys like this! (Although there's not many guys like this!!) INCREDIBLE!!
funny, before I read your comment I was thinking that I'd love to see a duet with this guy and DImash
discoverd Erik a week ago, and it it the best discovery this year. #1 in 2024
How on earth people with this level of talent are not pushed to the masses. Pure raw talent!
Erik won Swedish Idol in 2009, from 2010-2020 he recorded 4 albums with the Swedish Hard Rock band H.E.A.T. and then from 2022-2024 he recorded 1 album with American Hard Rock band Skid Row.
He sang for Skid Row on their latest album and tour
He was kinda pushed to the masses and then had to overcome Cancer and kinda step back but seems he is fine now!!!

I love all comments. And I am sooooo proud of Erik and every song !!!! He was 2009 the winner of IDOL!!!!!
He's a really nice guy. I love his voice.
You’re my new favourite performer! Your voice and range give me goosebumps! Thanks! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
I was just going to write the same thing ! This is out of this world !!!
@ For sure! He needs to be recording … covers, originals, anything. He’s gonna be famous! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Dude, are you freakin’ kidding me?! Absolutely out of this world talent! Sick, man…just sick! I think I just had a religious experience….
Thank you 🙏🏻
LOL. 💯
Erik, your music makes you immortal!!!🎤
Your voice control & tone are absolutely astounding.
Les frissons c’est sublime j’en veux encore merci beaucoup 🙏😘🌹🌹🌹🌹
You know if it's Erik covering a song, you know it's going to be an incredible cover 🤗
Every single time.
Indeed for sure ❤he is amazing ❤
You are awesome ❤❤❤ keep moving forward stay strong keep fighting 💪 ❤❤❤
WoW!! VOCALS ARE SUPERB!!!
Oh my goodness!!!!! I love your style and voice!!!!
I didn't expect this . Magic
He's brilliant.
Unbelievable! How is it even possible to have a voice like this?!❤ I hope Celine has heard it. The piano-player should also have some cred! Lovely!
Sweetest hell this is freaking insane...! I was completely gobsmacked by this!
THAT WHAT I CALL GIFTED !!!
THE RANGE IS ASTOUNDING. !!!!
Is there anything this guy can't sing ? Amazing !
1975, I was 7 years old...this has always had a deep seeded place in my heart. It has grown with me ever since.✌💜
I still love the reactions of people that don't realize dudes can hit them high notes, and they jump out of their skin when you do. It's always funny.
I'm absolutely speechless... 😳 Wow!
FAN-tastic 🖤

'm 82 and absolutely thought no one could ever do it better than Eric Carmen but Wow! this is wonderfu
nobody cares how old you are.
@@MrLedsen Well it just so happens that I do. Remember this, when you're old, you're gonna wish that somebody cared.
Yes! “The truth of my heart” !!! Age 66 in Texas!!
