Tommy is a Swede and he is born 1987 up north in Sweden in a place called Boden. Tommy plays ALL instruments on his cover videos. He plays guitars, keyboards, drums, accordion, harmonica, banjo, flute etc. He's a musical wonder. In this song he sang it one octave higher than the Josh Groban version. If you want more of Tommy in full figure, watch some of his later videos.
As a Sweed my self my english in not perfect. But played guitar for more then 40 years. So… The key is the basic note of the scale we are in. Like if we use all white keys on a piano and stay in major. The key i C. So C major. Now going minor with only hitting the white keys it is A. So A minor. Octav how ever you spel that in English is the same note just dubble as high or dubble as low. Like C2 on the piano an C3 is one octav apart. A note is just anny note you happen to pick, hit or sing. Like hot me C on a piano and that is one note. Happens to be named C this time. I normaly play more fusion my self. But I am born with metall. And this Tommy has one perfect voice. It gives a older man hope for the future music. Feel like when Ibwas young an put on a new Helloween record. Love this dude.
Its good to see that you find both Erik and Tommy from Sweden. 2 of the best male singers in the world. Tommy is a music phenomenon. Plays many instruments and the voice range is unreal. Me my self play several instruments and sing. Have done it since I was 5 years old and have pass 50 now. Mostly rock music and metal. So I know when I see and hear some special. Tommys talent have made me cry many times. Tears of pure joy and admiration.
Tommy does not copyright his videos so you do not need to blur screen. Glad you found Tommy. Only 200 more to go😂 He plays all instruments and produces his videos. You will be astounded when you learn more about him.
He isn't singing in just 1 octave, he is starting an octave above where Josh Groban finishes, taking it higher each verse. Tommy plays many instruments as well as sings. Try his version of "Cottoneye Joe"
Over the hills and far away is a Gary Moore cover he idolised Gary Moore he referenced Gary a lot in his guitar tuition videos he is good at it but Gary Moores version and guitar skills and vocals are second to none.
Tommy just recently left the band Sabaton, where he was their lead guitarist. Tommy is a beast! An amazing musician and incredible vocalist. Check out Sabaton
Tommy J is a superb musician and kind (and goofy at times) human😊😅. His solo channel is full of amazing covers. Pick any one and you will be pleased. My theory (from experience) the head shakes are cuz it tickles. Lol. Thanks for the Tommy reaction😊. Try Cotton Eye Joe for the humor in addition the the talent❤
If you want to "meet" him: Tomorrow , Friday 3. of may 12.00 CET he releases a new Video on his channel and he will be live in the chatroom. Don't know which song it will be, but there is no better way to start into the weekend. At least 600 people will be there in the livestream.
Tommy plays a lot of instruments, and he’s also very talented with drawings. Tommys band Majestica with The Glory of Christmas (the official art video) all the art are done by Tommy 😀
It's one octave higher challenge. He is from northern Sweden from a small town called Boden. He's kind of a mix between Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Kiske
Amazing he sang it like a Scotsman. He is amazing instrumentalist. Was waiting for Hine to pull out the bagpipes at the end. Glad he sang bothered verses. He killed those highness amazing without gping falsetto
@swedishmeatball4382 yes it's an Irish/Norwegian Christian song the composer was Norwegian and singer was Irish but doesn't change the fact he didn't sing it or sound anything like a scotsman.
Yes a Celtic song you are right. Although Scots, Irish and Norwegian are closely related .many Irish fought with the Scots against England . I have heard a couple of Scottish singers sing this song , but this one is the best yet
@WolvenHeart1 not just Ireland , France and Wales as well where at the Battle of culloden King George also known as (the butcher) was a dictator pure evil on any level. when scotland Ireland and France retreated to regroup he ordered his English and Welsh soldiers to chase and slaughter everyone and they did the war wasn't about power for scotland it was about protecting land that England wanted that belonged to scotland. Ireland and France where there to help stop him for there own reasons if that psycho took scotland where would he go next maybe want Ireland after that or maybe France they united in one common goal, protect there countries as well. But to you're original comment he in no way sang it like a scotsman. doesn't matter if scottish people or Irish or Norwegian people cover it. The song will always be and sound Irish. If he did it in a scottish accent maybe who knows but that song in no way will ever sound scottish.
Tommy is amazing and his mind is like Erik Grönwall’s. They both are so kind and always caring for everyone, especially their fans. They going to make more music together and I waiting so for it. Because I like the higher range Tommy has and love that range Erik has. It’s good together and they having fun together because they are how they are.❤️❤️❤️
He's a one man orchestra. Everything you hear is played and sung by him, putting many layers of recordings on the same song. I definitely suggest you to try his many ABBA metal covers. I came to appreciate Tommy because of his ABBA covers, 'cause I'm an ABBA fan. Many groups and singers do metal covers of ABBA but he's surely the best one. Could be because he's Swedish like them?
Tommy is undeniably musically talented and is partially tongue in cheek, partially showing off, taking on these covers. I’m just glad he takes the time to make these enjoyable videos.
Tommy Johansson is from northern SWEDEN and from the same county as I live, although his city is called Boden, where Tommy comes from, and my city is at the top of Sweden, Kiruna, which is world-renowned for being the city you move to. Tommy is a Swedish multi-instrumentalist, singer and music producer. So all the instruments you hear in his music video are the ones he plays, including the drums. Because it's JUST Tommy, the instrument, camera and computer when he makes his videos. Then Tommy does not sing this song 1 octave higher, but he reaches a full 4 octaves higher. It should be added that Tommy started recording these to have something to do during the pandemic and posted it on UA-cam and it became much bigger than he thought. Has Tommy himself told.
If you want to hear another side of Tommy you ought to look up his band Majestica and the song "Above the Sky". There you can see him play the guitar, he's the lead singer also and, last but not least, all the guys have as luscious hair as Tommy do ;)
5:10 I believe the point is the show peps HOW he is playing, for the geeks after all. It is you women who swoom, understandably, to "his lush hair" He is changing keys etc. Listen. Metal is very nerdy until you become a super star, like gaming.
3:50 Octave challenge means, he is going up an octave every verse. I forget the music language, been 20 years for me. One octave is c to c in music, on a piano "main"? c to a lower of higher c, like a scale, do re mi fa so la ti do?
Hi Brit, something completely different, the royal marines corps band v secret drum. No singing, but the sync/timing/professionalism - out of this world. I think you'll love it
I think the 1 octave challenge means he raises every verse and every chorus one octave above what they're supposed to be, respectively. Also, "road to 300 000 subscribers"? I guess I can help :D +1
It's always a pleasure to see your newest reaction. May I suggest something? Well, rather suggest a song for you to react to? But only if you want to feel happy. Only if you want to hear arguably the happiest song ever made. Only if you want to feel that 70's (1977) groove. Only if you appreciate a clear, bright, sunny sky instead of rain, snow, cloudy, dreary days. If so ....... Please, please, please react to Electric Light Orchestra's signature single called "Mr. Blue Sky". Trust me, you'll love it and it'll make you happy! Everyone loves it and it makes everyone happier. Facts :)
Great reaction. I only have one ”issue”. Why do every reactor go the same path? First this one, then She’s gone. I mean, Tommy has soooo many masterpieces on his channel where he also gives you more of his skills on the guitar, bass, piano, keytar etc etc.
@@brittreacts oh yes! Bohemian Rhapsody, Only one woman, Holding out for a hero or if you want to see Tommy express his talents on the guitar as well as the base, and of course his voice go for Carry on ☺️
@@brittreacts By the way. You were asking for footage of him when he plays the guitar. Poor guy doesn’t have a big studio and being 6’4” it’s hard for him getting those shots. But there is a lot of them in the more recent vids. You hot two of hom in his cover of Emerald by Thin Lizzy, great song by the way if you like old school hard rock with a celtic touch.
We all love Tommy, he is fantastic and a really lovely humen beeing. Please dont use filter on Tommy, there is no need to. If you lucky he will even comment himself, maybe answer a question ❤.
PLEASE CHECK OUT “OLD MOVIE STARS DANCE TO “UPTOWN FUNK”” Then if you like that you could also check out “MOVIE STARS DANCE TO “I’M SO EXCITED “ great stuff especially for someone that loves dance
Tommy has got a great set of lungs and has a great voice but sometimes little is more and Josh Groban’s version for me is more heartfelt and simply better than this version but absolutely no denying this man can Sang 🙌🏻
5;39 You make fun of Tommy's extreme octave range. It can be seen as ridicule on your part. It's just stating that you don't know music. Maybe you should start a different type of channel!
I believe Tommy challenged himself to sing this 1 octave higher than Josh G. If Tommy hade säng it in the same key as Josh G, his performance would have benen much different.

This young man is simply incredible. Hands down vocally he is unmatched
In 2009 he won the National Karaoke Championship in Sweden! Love him!
We ALL love Tommy's hair! If you want to see him play his guitar watch either "Over the Hills and Far Away" or "Emerald"! ❤
Over the hills and far away is a Gary Moore cover he idolised Gary Moore he referenced Gary a lot in his guitar tuition videos he is good at it but Gary Moores version and guitar skills and vocals are second to none.
or his cover of "Empty rooms" with this epic almost 4 minute long solo
I had no idea, thanks! Amazing.wish you had linked him in the description.
He is from Sweden like me😀Listen to Tommy Johansson "IT’S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW", "AVE MARIA and "SHE'S GONE". Regards: Lasse
Vafan! Killen har nästan 100 videor och du väljer She’s gone 😂😂😂

You should react to Tommy's cover of Steelheart's song She's Gone.
That song really shows Tommy's powerful voice.
I’ve been waiting for you to do this reaction! I think he’s great too!! Thanks, Britt!

How about Ave Maria with Tommy next? Or Bohemian Rhapsody? Or Im still standing? Or Fairytale of new york with Kristin Starkey? Or... or.....
Yes, Kristin Starkey is a fantastic singer too...
But I really liked when they sang together
It's one octave higher challenge.
He is from northern Sweden from a small town called Boden.
He's kind of a mix between Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Kiske
6:07 You are about correct there. He was classically trained and was part of a church choir when he grew up. ;)
Se him play in the band he used to play in... SABATON! Do reactions of them, they are AWESOME! And Tommy and Sabaton are Swedish 🙂👍
he is from sweden and yes he plays the guitar ❤🤘
I loved his work in the Christian Band "Golden Resurrection"
Amazing he sang it like a Scotsman. He is amazing instrumentalist. Was waiting for Hine to pull out the bagpipes at the end. Glad he sang bothered verses. He killed those highness amazing without gping falsetto
I'm Scottish and that in no way sounds like a Scotsman the song isn't even Scottish it's Irish.

He was the guitarist in Sabaton from Sweden

Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪.
"That's him playing?"

I do believe Tommy is now the President of the PDC.
In case anyone wondered that highest note he hit is a C#6.
Oh, and you dont have to "blur" Tommys videos. We swedes are pretty nice guys. He wont give you a hard time for that. 😉
Good to know!

One octave higher - that is _eight_ tones above [the original.]
