This was written for Tommy Körberg his vocals are insane.
Yeah, came here to say this. The role was written for Tommy Körberg. In my mind Josh is a pale comparison.
'He's a massively big vocalist'
You are god damn right!
Did you know Tommy did a duet with Celine Dion once, he was a little bit ill in the rehersal so he couldn't really sing out.
But when it was time for the show he really SANG and shocked Celine with his voice.
The video is on UA-cam of them sing and her reaction to him hitting the high notes is fun to see. She didn’t know who he was and hadn’t heard him sing before hand. The song was from beauty and the beast, that he does the swedish version for.
The legend says Tommy Körberg never does vocal warms-ups, he just clears his throat and walks on stage
Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson made this musical. They were the male vocalists from ABBA
Some more facts: Benny and Björn had their own bands for several years before ABBA. Agneta was a singer and song writer doing well on her own too. Frida (Anni-Frid) did a lot of backup singing (if memory serves me).
Stig Andersson (a producer) "created" ABBA by combining the 4 talented people working for his company (Polar), and promoting them in a very intelligent way.
Benny became the song writer for ABBA, doing vocals and playing the piano. Björn wrote all the lyrics, and sang a few songs and played the guitar. After ABBA split they turned to musicals.
Few seam to have registered those facts. It was always Agneta and Frida people talked about. The men are not noticed the same way.
Not only the male voices, they where the brains behind Abba. They wrote all songs.
@@Mrsnobody1780 I said that.
Josh sang a cover of this song, not the other around.😉
@@knowledgeisgood9645 You did confuse a bit though, saying Benny was the song writer and Björn was writing all the lyrics. It's the same, isnt it?(instrumentals and vocals are a diffrent thing but i dont think you meant that) Just say Benny and Björn wrote most, if not all of the ABBA songs.
Tommy is one of the worlds top tenors. He’s had no formal voice training - pure talent. As you may know this musical was written by Björn and Benny who also wrote Kristina från Duvemåla.
Tommy is singing in soprano, there's no way you can tell me Tommy is Tenor and then listen to Jussi Björling sing.
@@CeRz Well. He’s actually a Barytone, but can sing up to a B4, which is Tenor-range. Soprano is a high female voice.
I said one of the worlds top tenors, but if Jussi was alive he would take the top spot in my book. Tommy is of course not opera-schooled, but I still stand by my statement that he’s a world class Tenor.
@@samardevneo soprano is literally a word for "a boys voice"
And tenor "a mans voice"
Even though both ranges are head voices. Show me proof for your claims because you currently hold no merit by making false claims. "You still stand..." is not a good argument. Tommy is nowhere near Tenor, show me one song in which he sings tenor according to you. There are no sources on the internet suggesting tommy is tenor.
@@CeRz I have no interest in voice category pissing contests, so just think what you think and go in peace.
lol, that's one way to forfeit a viewpoint. I was genuinely interested if there was anything I've missed. I've never heard Tommy sing tenor or found any sources implying that he does. I guess my experience and those nonexistent sources were correct.@@samardevneo
I am from Sweden and I am so proud of Tommy. He played the Russian chess player in the musical Chess in London. I saw his last performance there and he got standing ovation. ❤
Josh Groban has sung this song but Tommy is the original singer and no one can sing it better than him.
I saw Tommy on stage as the Russian and this song comes at the end of the first half of the show. I was blubing like a baby as his voice is on another level.
As already pointed out this was written with Tommy Körberg in mind.
Chess was written before Kristina from Duvemåla.
I was lucky enough to see this live with Tommy Körberg and Helen Sjöholm.
A third version you need to listen to is Tommy Johansson covering this. Tommy J has coveted several of the big hits by Tommy K.
Listen to another grest song covered by both Tommies. Stad i ljus.
Tommy is one of the best ever
I would change our national hymn to this any day!!!
Answer.. The original song was written for a Broadway play names Chess, originally done in the 1980s (song Bankcock came from this). The play was brought back to Broadway in early 2000', where Josh Grobin got his start as the main vocal in that play.
Tommy Körberg’s song Stad i Ljus is one of the most popular songs ever made in Sweden and have been recognised as a hymn. The song is also common in college and University culture in Sweden.
no it's not... not even close. The handball team use it as a hymn but that's all.
Check out live versions of him singing it. He sounds perhaps even better than this studio version. As he got older his voice deepened and became very rich but still so powerful.
This piece was specifically written for Tommy. He's still killing it with his voice, check him out in For Every Step by Dead By April. 😎🤘
Tommy Körberg is an amazing singer. He is still performing 75yo and sounds Great He is definetly one of the best male singers we have in sweden ❤
Love this version. Körberg singing his ass off... yet still so effortless.
And he did it on his first take!! No retakes!!
How is he not acknowledging the fact that Björn Ulveus and Benny Andersson are literally sitting right there😭
According to Tommy Körberg he has never had a singing lesson in his life.
He’s a gem with a gift and talent out of this world, thank you for doing a reaction, Love it!
People mentioned that Peter Jöback was the voice of Aladdin in Swedish, well Tommy Körberg did the voice for Beast in Beauty and the Beast. 👍
Helen Sjöholm voiced Anastasia.
Live versions of Tommy from 1990-1992 are more powerful and his voice was fuller than when he did this version in the mid 80s.
Yup, this studio version is much more controlled.
@listonheinz I was thinking the same thing.
This is the original
If you like this voice you should check out his entrance from The Eurovision Song Contest in 1988. Stad i ljus (City of lights) or his version of the christmas song "Oh, holy night"
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks, but make sure it has english subtitles when it needs to.
I remember when I saw chess the musical live for the first time. This song was so powerful when sitting right there
Rumour has it Tommy once replied to the question "how do you prepare" with the answer "I take a smoke before going on the stage". In any case, he is one of Swedens best male voices.
He don't
@@Lappen598 Exactly
I belive this is the original song for the musical chess. The musical has alot of good songs in it.
It is the original.
Great musical.
Look up "one night in Bangkok" sung by Murray Head. The most famous song from the original show.
But look up One Night In Bangkok sung by Anders Glenmark he is the guy who sings the chorus and is such a great singer.
@@Goddybag4Lee thanks for the heads up
The men in the control room wrote the song.
This version is amazing. He’s voice 💫 The song was written for his vocal. He’s so young here. 😅
Tommy Körberg is the original singer of this song. Written by ABBA's Björn and Benny for the musical Chess.
It's so nice to get to watch all this gems with you. Körberg is so young there.
I’ve not heard of Tommy Korberg until now BUT I’m sold! First heard Josh Groban’s version but he can get too technical with his vocals at times. Tommy’s rendition is more heartfelt.
You need to watch Tommy singing O helga natt that is truly amazing
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks, but make sure it has english subtitles
For me this is THE version. The one and only.
He still sings great like that!
It is Benny yin red and the other is Björn Ulvaeus from Abba at the desk.
The musical Chess, written and produced by Björn and Benny (ABBA) and yes this is the original. Much love from Sweden.
Tim Rice as well
This is the original . It's Björn and Benny from ABBA who wrote this song. ❤from Sweden
Hell yeah! ❤
Wow! What a voice! Beautiful!
Tommy Körberg is the best. Omg the best❤❤❤
Tommy has perfect pitch as well.
This is the original ❤
Tommy done a amazing Swedish version of Simon and Garfunkel's bridge over troubled waters. Deserves a listen
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Great reaction! I've got chills hearing this song!! Havent heard this version in years. Tommy Körberg is a true legend!! Moments like this I'm so proud to be Swedish!😉
Btw, check out Tommy Johansson's version of this song! (If you havent done it already).
Tommy is the man!! One of the best singer Sweden have.
Thank you for listening to your Swedish part of the audience. This song was suggested in your reaction video on Helene Sjöholm. I would say that the whole musical is worthy of a listen. It was Björn and Benny's first musical attempt. Tim Rice was also involved. Tim who's worked together with Andrew Lloyd Webber in many musicals.
I have some inside information about Tommy Körberg....his left arm is 2 cm shorter than his right.
And he is really really nice in person.
No one sings it like Tommy
Mmm❣ Tommy Körberg - A force of nature. His voice has been with me since I was a child.
His version of 'Fattig Bonddräng' will be played at my Fathers funeral one day...🌹
Best version
Saw him perform in Stockholm in the 80s before 'Chess', a 'national treasure' and it felt like it at the time. I hope he will recover from his recent illnesses! Proud to be Swedish for a change! :)
I'm Swedish and enjoy seeing you especially reacting to our Swedish greats. Wanted to add that I love your dialect ❤️
Chess is one of my favourite musicals (Phantom of the Opera being top spot) and almost all songs on it are hits. I really enjoy the song Quartet (A Model of Decorum and Tranquility), can recommend it if you never heard it :)
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. But make sure it follows the guidelines. Thanks
The man in the beard in the frames of the video at the mixtable in the studio is Benny Andersson who have wrote the song AND is an member of ABBA!
I like this reaction. Its really pure and real. Hope you are doing well my friend. And yeah, Tommy is insanly good
I Just love this from Tommy! Regards from Sweden
The amazing tripple is from 2 years go. Tommy have struggle with his health. Heart problems and covid and stuff. This is from one of his first bigger stuff fter getting better. ❤️
❤love tommy körberg always has into my feelings he brings me along 🎉
Check out him singing beauty and the beast live with celine dione. Its great. Lol
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Tjo! Check out the clip when Tommy sings ”Beauty and the Beast” duet with Celine Dion from swedish television. He was the swedish Voiceover of the beast.
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Tommy Körberg did a duett with Celine dion. And she was impressed by his vocals
Always goosebumps!
Amazing 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I agree with others here. Go and check out Tommy Johansson's version 😍
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Much love from Sweden!
Thanks for reacting to this Swedish masterpiece! Tommy is the man!! /South-Swedish guy
It’s from the musical ‘chess’ which was written by the boys from ABBA & Tim Rice
Tommy Johansson does a cover of this. Also amazing!
Bjorn and Benny who made this musical wrote this for Tommy Korberg and made it to fit his specific voice.
Abba is involved Björn and Benny are in the movie
The Swedes are great singers and musicians...
Tommy never has take a lesson in singing. Björn and Benny just love him from the start.
This is the original…come on man!,
Why do I always want to scream "Lets play ball" at the end?
If you haven't already, look up Stad i ljus and For every step. But really, everything this man does, is pure gold.
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Björn, Benny and Tommy = ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of my all time favorite songs. The key that takes it from good to great is the ability to allow feeling to be more important than technique. I like Groban, but he focuses too much on technique.
ABBA Björn is also one of the men behind the mixer table.
He sang in the band "Solar Plexus"...
The boys in ABBA have done it !!!!!!
It’s from Chess. Written by Björn and Benny from ABBA
Josh Grobans version too me don’t have the feeling that this original version has. Another singer is Ken from Vixx has done this part also and you can find it on UA-cam, I think both CNU from B1A4 and Jo Kwon from 2am has done this song too, I think they did the role different days when it was played in South Korea some years ago. Don’t know if there’s any clip or video of them singing it.
I had no idea Josh Groban did a version of this (you were right 😊), but now you got to hear the original 😃
Ps. Havn’t heard it in a long time. Got goosebumps!
You should watch videos of him performing it live
I just love your reaktions 🤗
I am just curious, since I’ve not delved to deep because of needing to sleep 😴
But in 5 of 5 reacting videos I’ve watched, the no2 -B-in ABBA is in the video you posted ? As in the composer of the music and lyrics? 😍 Björn ❤️
why am i seeing björn and benny again!? didnt know this!!
Abbas studio Polar ❤
Tommy is the Original ❤
If you have not seen it yet search for Tommy Körberg together with a very young Celine Dion. Magical!!!
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Will do !
I am not sure where to submit my suggestion.
You should Check out Jan Werner Danielsen from Norway's Version ❤️
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Just make sure it has english subtitles. Thanks
Now you can do Tommy Johanssons version of Anthem. As impressive as Körbergs...
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Can recommend Tommy Körberg and Celine Dion - Beauty and the beast. Tommy didn't put in much effort into the rehearsals, so the look on her face is pretty funny. 🧐
Hi, Please add your suggestions to the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks
Nice reaction still epic masterpiece🇸🇪
Do you remeber your reaction by Dead by april ft Tommy körberg 'For every step? Tommy is 'little' older there🇸🇪
Do Jussi Björling O Helga natt
Look up Tommy körberg and Celine Dion duet it is funny😂
Strange enough Tommy Körberg sounds very alike Josh Groban time to time..
Abba studio
The choir Only Boys Aloud sing this song in Welsh language. I think also Only Men Aloud do it aswell.
