Erik won Swedish Idol 2009. He was The lead singer in H.E.A.T for 10 years. Then he fought and won a battle against leukemia. He joined skid row in 2022 (when He auditioned for Idol he did Skid Row 's18 and life). He just left the band, now focussing on a book and UA-cam. He is an amazing singer but also person, humble and so genuine, very committed to his fans. Supernice guy!
His voice and performance is in one word: incraddable!!!! I'm - as a man from Holland (70 years old...pffff) very proud that this amazing singer also is an european!!!! And from Sweden!!!! The wonderfull country that brought us the amazing music by the super music by Abba !!!!! Thank you so much for this wonderfull performer from this great nation in Europe!!!!!!
I love the Dutch❤ For some reason I always been counting the Netherlands as part of Scandinavia.You're tall,blonde and absolutely amazing.And 70.....pff,that's no age.Stay glorious brother 👊
I only got to know Erik through working with Dan Vasc. He is a Swedish rock and metal singer. Erik recently left the band Skid Row as a singer for health reasons. Previously he sang with H.E.A.T. Thank you for introducing this fantastic artist.
I've been watching different reaction videos of this utterly magnificent performance, and also watching the original post of Erik's yt channel... and every single time, it brings me to tears. What an unbelievable voice, and what power of emotion that is brought to this song! I never heard of Erik Gronwall until just now... and wow!-- I'm an instant fan, the man is just incredibly talented!
Right? Even I been listening to him 10 years but I still had to say "who the hell hit those high notes in FULL VOICE like that?" He's just unreal, out of this world!!! Totally with you on the reactions man!
Just incredible to hear his fabulous voice - absolutely insane! The guy playing the saxaphone too was excellent, also drummer & pianist. Good job done!!! 👍👍👍
Erik is a truly amazing singer with such an incredible range. Just go down the rabbit hole of his covers, and you will be listening for hours. Also he also always lists the musicians and producers in the video info section.
I never knew about Erik Grönwall either, until I stumbled upon his video singing #IWillAlwaysLoveYou just this past weekend. Since then, I found out he won, I think it's the foreign version of (American) Idol in 2009. Then he was the lead singer for Skid Row for about 2-3 years. But had to leave the band bcoz he was diagnosed with cancer. He chose to prioritize his health & well-being. Hopefully he's doing much better since.
Former lead singer for Heat and Skid Row. He left SR recently to maintain his health. He is a professional with amazing vocals which you just witnessed. Thank you for this.
Erik does an awesome job with this song. Better than Whitney or Dolly, IMHO. As someone else mentioned, you need to check out Breaking the Silence with Dan Vasc. Two powerhouses in action! Thanks for reacting to this.
Erik is phenomenal! I found him on Dan Vasc's channel (Check out Dan and Erik's cover of "Breaking The Silence" (H.E.A.T). Erik's story is pretty amazing.
he is great. he did an amazing performance of 18 and life which led him to be a lead singer of skid row. you should listen to him doing kick start my heart. i was blown away
I was thinking you'd already done this one last week. Glad you've done it now. Erik is one of my very favorite singers. I heard him the first time, singing "Breaking the Silence" with Dan Vasc. I see that others have already mentioned that song. Hoping you will react to it, soon! 😀His last name is pronounced: GROWN' vall (as in "fall"). After watching "Breaking the Silence," I watched other new videos wherein Erik collaborated with other artists, then I was keeping up with him being on tour last year, when he suddenly got hit by a TON of illnesses (which are explained in the following paragraph). I looked down through the comments, and have only seen one other person mention that Erik (for the past couple of years) had been fighting leukemia. If you start looking at Erik's channel, from a few years back, you'll see how he started looking more and more haggard. Then, just a little over a year ago, he got a bone marrow implant, which has made a HUGE difference. He is now pronounced "cured," but because of the implant, he is just beginning to get new immunities. He has a video about all of that, on his channel. - - - - - - - - - - BTW...at the top of his channel, you will find this info: Erik Grönwall @ErikGronwallOfficial ‧ 102K subscribers ‧ 217 videos ▪ SKID ROW ▪ H.E.A.T ▪ 2 x Grammy Award Loser ▪ JCS Live In Concert ▪ Swedish Idol winner - - - - - - - - - - He sang with H.E.A.T. previously, and then with Skid Row. His video about leaving Skid Row, and about the leukemia, and how he has gained perspective through the whole ordeal. The video is titled, "I'm leaving Skid Row."
Thanks so much Linda and we have to check out the collaboration with Dan! I bet that is amazing. So sad to hear he got leukemia but hopefully he is cured and continue living his life and making music! He is definitely an artist we are going to continue to explore and see what else he has out there! Have a great day and talk to you soon! 😁
He sang for HEATbut got leukemia and stoped . He is in Skid Row now and l think they will go on world tour !! Good luck Eric, no thst you need it!!!!@❤
@@setonhillstudios He started his UA-cam channel because of his leukemia 2021, you can see that he has no hair in the beginning. And he left Skid Row because of his health.
Erik is amazing 🤩🔥 The producer is Jona Tee, he was a band mate at HEAT and is a good friend of Erik. He played the keyboard. I love the Whitesnake cover of Still of The Night from Erik 🤩👍🤘
I'm happy you love Erik!! He's one of my absolute favorite singers, but also a very kind human. Enjoy the rabbit hole of his songs, his voice incredible, he really is such a powerhouse! He won Swedish Idol in '09, his performance of Hey Jude from that is really special to me. He had a great song in the televised Jesus Christ Superstar with John Legend a few years back. And he's been the lead singer of both H.E.A.T. and Skid Row! H.E.A.T.'s a great band, I highly recommend checking them out if you want to hear more of his rock stuff (Address the Nation is my favorite overall album when Erik was their frontman)! Some of his recent covers have been incredible, Dream On by Aerosmith was phenomenal (didn't know anyone could hit the Steven Tyler screams like Steven Tyler until this, haha), Chandelier by Sia was great, so was his latest Numb by Linkin Park! :)
Erik did such an amazing cover of this song and the sax is perfect. Dolly Parton wrote this song and first recorded it. It is beautiful also however Erik did more the Whitney version that she recorded for the Bodyguard movie. Dolly made a lot of money when Whitney recorded her song❤. I wish all the best for Erik with his health and keep on singing. ❤ from a 🇨🇦 Grammy
Check out his UA-cam channel and you will learn all about him. Erik is a special singer that can sing anything!! My hubs and I have seen him with Skid Row twice and he was amazing both times. Seriously, he is our new favorite singer!!
He is very talent and can sing everything,so mutch talent there,he have done a cover of bon jovi living on prayer ,and a cover of paine killer judas preist ,and omg whot a tallent best vocols singer 2day .gretings from 🇸🇪
He has ALL, cancer. He is taking time off to focus on his health. Watch him on Idol you won’t regret it. He can literally sing ANYTHING! No American Idol has ever sang this good!
To the maker of this video I have a request. Here is my request: Could you please do a comparison video of who sang it best between Erik Gronwall singing his cover version of I will always love you live Streamed on Apr 19, 2024 versus Judika also singing his cover version of I will always love you Live at a wedding at Balai Samudera on December 21, 2017. In this video after listening to both performaces one after the other i would love for you to share your opinion as to which of these two singers sang this song the best and why( Judika or Erik Gronwall).This should be a showstopper.

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
Sweet! Appreciate the suggestion!
And his newest Dream ON (journey cover)
Former singer of Skid Row !
And his band before Skid Row.. Swedish band H.E.A.T
I see that he does some Queen and bet he would be great with that too!
💯 I bet that’s amazing!
wtf what....wow
Right?!?
This video is 2 years old.
No, Erik made it about 2 months ago.
He has done a cover of Mariah Carey. If I only could remember the title. Maybe someone else can help me?
ua-cam.com/video/gx56MPUF3bU/v-deo.htmlsi=uO1W9J6PZfPkxhWl
I don’t understand why Simon Cowell didn’t make him world famous.
Why Simon Cowell? He didn't won American idol
@@gretobe
He created Idol! He is a music producer and has made many artists famous.
@@PamelaSue-c3dwell, I have never heard Simon care about Swedish Idol winners. I think Erik prefer to do what he's been doing since he won. 😊
A small detail. Houstons version is a cover and not the original
Yea I had no idea until y’all let me know in the comments, I always associated it with her!
You dont even now the original song.😂
Had no clue it was originally Dolly Parton. Definitely more widely associated with Whitney Houston, especially by people my age
Is this really a live performance by Erik?Anyone can reply.I awaitvyour replies.🫢🫢
