He did attend music school which (from what I understood) had a profile in musical theatre, but absolutely no classical vocal training. His vocal teachers were apparently a book of vocal techniques and a radio
Tommy Johansson used to be the guitarist in the Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton. He left the band this year. You should react to some Sabaton songs. Especially the songs "Christmas Truce", "No Bullets Fly" (Animated Story Video) and "En Livstid I Krig" (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenborg). En Livstid I krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenborg) have English translation.
No, Tommy Johansson is not with the band anymore. The new lineup is. Hannes Van Dahl Drums Joakim Brodén Vocals & Keyboards Pär Sundström Bass Thobbe Englund Lead Guitar Chris Rörland Lead Guitar
That would be VERY cool to see a duo with Steelheart's old recording and Tommy. This is my favorite cover from Tommy along with "The Winner Takes it All"!
Tommy Johansson is a power metal singer. Power metal is full of musicians like him. It is a goldmine of music if you're interested to go into the rabbit hole. It's technical, melodic, epic and often inspired by filmscores, fantasy soundtracks and medieval/bard themes.
I agree with you! I think Tommy is just the cutest thing ever and he's so good at singing and so humorous that he is just about perfect!! Too bad I'm old enough to be his mother] ❤😊
Tommy Johansson attended a 2-year music education at folk high school and was NOT trained in classical music. Tommy b wants to try to understand music as much as possible, how it is structured and how to make it sound a certain way. Here's how Tommy talks about Christmas music, for example: As for the Christmas mood, it's instruments and that the melody brings with it the chord change when the melody changes and also that the scale changes. Now we get into nerdery and the scales change from one chord to another and then find our way back to the original chord. It took a while to learn and to understand the music. From an interview: Sabaton toured together with Apocalyptica and that must have been a very interesting experience for you who like to analyze music? Did you learn anything from them? Yes, I really did. In that they are three cellists, one playing solo, one playing bass and another playing between them. It was often that I stood and looked at them to understand how they do it to sound so fat. One plays the bottom and then I noticed that when the other plays the melodies, I noticed that since each chord is made up of at least three notes, the third plays as one voice along with the melody. It's very interesting to listen to just him, it doesn't sound right at all, but when you add the bass and the melody, it sounds right. We even ran five songs together. This is how Tommy learns music and then sings opera and other musical styles. So Tommy himself develops his singing voice as well as various music changers. So what you say is NOT true and thus not true.. So you have to learn not to trust what others say but find things out yourself.
He's the "love child of rock music and opera music" i love that description never heard anyone describe him that way before!! You do have a big point though!
@@StrongvocalcoachI didn't know that you have the primacy to decide what one person can and cannot do. Learn to give your opinion and stick to it and not want to appear to be a notoriety. And please, With that nickname, he apparently must be the best singing teacher in the universe. Let us know your work. Another thing, Go find a hoe to weed.
Just so you know he's not only doing rock songs if you want to see what he can do with other genres, he's for example done Taylor Swifts "Anti-Hero" and Beyonce's "Texas hold em" among others. Well worth checking out ;)
Tommy has an amazing voice and does a great job on this song. That being said, no way is his version better than the original. Plus, Millie sang it while chewing gum, LOL. (To keep his throat moist)
So you went with this one.. ok! 😂 As you really like his skills on the guitar i suggest you to check out his cover of Over the hills and far away. It’s written by Gary Moore, the very artist that made Tommy to start playing guitar. I feel that Tommy always have a bit more passion when he do covers of Gary More. This version is a cover from a live performance from Stockholm (the very last time Gary played in Stockholm before he passed) ua-cam.com/video/DBk7eCCiAcw/v-deo.htmlsi=cB6r71kddpfdsTDF
6:15 It is true for metal. All metal bands of any worth know classic. They know this and went hardcore on the chords and it's history. Now Opera is different, but adjacent. That is why you have real opera singers like Floor with metal bands. Opera is about passion, to tell a story through vocals. Rock is in sync with that
I Think it's probably Tommy "YoHansson" Because the Swedish have a way of pronouncing their 'J's as 'Y's This is his best ever song in my opinion, but all his over covers are amazing too!
God lord....you are so beutiful...absolute one of the most beutiful women in the world....phuuu.... And yes Tommy is outstanding...maybe the best voice in the world of Rock... Chris from sweden
its not Jo hanson, its JOHANs son ;) Tommy is not just a great musician he is a real great guy irl also. And btw, he dont just sing, he plays drums, guitar, bass and keyboard... Tommy is not rock music, he is Power Metal from head to toes.
Tommy is just epic, loved him in Sabaton as the guitarist (He is an awesome guitarist but what a waste with that voice) then I found out about his own group Majestica and then of course his solo projects which he has more time for now after he left Sabaton.
8:44 It is hilarious to watch every female reactor go nutz for it. "It's so cute" Guess it was a great editing choice. Us men found it funny, you are ready to send engagement proposals. ;)
Check out another cover of this song by the artist Girish Pradhan ua-cam.com/video/k7B78HOzUbc/v-deo.htmlsi=TLKbzCARmPF2rXMU. His version is better than tommys IMO but the og is still the best, specifically the live version.
It's not better than the original. The Steelheart you reacted to was an acoustic pared down version. The original is a fully electric power ballad like this.
It’s not maybe better than the original. The video you played of the original was live and amazing but he was in his,late thirties. Play the original video…..he was in his twenties and I seen them live…..the guy was a total off the chart freak of a voice. I was in shock….however this young man is amazing as well.
hear the original Album Version its Instrumentale most the same ...Tommy is great but he has no chance again the original...theres missing the relation to the song...the bitterness the heartbreaking feeling
You pronounce his name as an english speaking person, but un less you gonna learn swedish I think you have to continue with that pronunciation, it works🙂.
Tommy can sing anything.🎤
Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪.
I've never heard this... I'm 53 very modern music ignorant. Thank you for showing me music is still alive!
This is a song from your youth acually 🙂
You were 20 when Steelheart released the album this song is on. I don't think it got much radio play though.
You touched a string in my heart!
Apart from his voice and music (and hair 😂), I really love his great sense of humour. 😄
Must say, Tommy is the best male rock singer....ever!!!
No denying! He even smashed the Queen song sung by the Legendary Freddie Mercury!
Hey all. As far as I have understood it, Tommy is completely self-taught both with singing and playing! 😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
He did attend music school which (from what I understood) had a profile in musical theatre, but absolutely no classical vocal training. His vocal teachers were apparently a book of vocal techniques and a radio

Please try some ABBA metal covers by Tommy: "Waterloo". "Lay All Your Love On Me", "One of Us", "The Winner Takes It All".
Tommy is awesome! His voice range is unreal. Those high notes. Amazing. This is my favorite song of his!! Speechless! Love your reaction!❤

He is a multi instrumentalist

The best definition.
He is not human.
The original version is wonderful, but Tommy just took it to another level.
Big hug from Brazil.
No , original is better

Absolutely beyond awesomely epic 🔥🔥🔥
Tommy is simply amazing 💞

You should check out the cover of the weekends blinding lights, I really like Tommy's rendition.
And the imagine he's 6'5" 260 lbs...with that voice.
He's a kodiak bear with the voice of an angel.

U2 utb utb a Gooner...
You should watch his cover of I'll Never Let You Go by Steelheart.
His last name is 3 syllables instead of 4. Jo-Han-Son. Or, since he's Swedish, the J sound can be a Y sound. So Yo-Han-Son
Yes. And I think he would like it that this spelling looks like he would be a character in Star Wars 🙃
When I say I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND YOU AGAIN ,through all the other reactors IVE BEEN DIGGING. IM SUBBED NOW!! 🥰
Hahaha dat got me good, "The Love Child of Opera & Rock" :)
Hey from Norway :) check out tommy's band Majestica :) song called Metal United :) u will love it :)
6:15 It is true for metal. All metal bands of any worth know classic. They know this and went hardcore on the chords and it's history.
Now Opera is different, but adjacent. That is why you have real opera singers like Floor with metal bands.
Opera is about passion, to tell a story through vocals. Rock is in sync with that
Tommy is singing and playing all of the instruments. He used to be Sabaton's lead guitarist.
one of my favorite song by Steelheart is Mama don't you cry it get over looked for some reason to me its even better than she's gone
Check out his channel and see if you can find him singing OOh holy night Jussi Björlings version. Or Journey or any other, just check him out
His version of Ave Maria is a must
Just great musician⭐️
Love child of opera and rock. Yeah. He is. :)
Would love if you would check out his rendition of Circle of life from Lionking. I really like his version of that song
U have to check up Erik Grönvall and Cris Kläfford also.
All Swedish singers that are genius and probably the best male singers in the world.
Off case, my name is Tommy and that's make me proud!!
I Think it's probably Tommy "YoHansson" Because the Swedish have a way of pronouncing their 'J's as 'Y's This is his best ever song in my opinion, but all his over covers are amazing too!

You should hear Eythor Ingi sing this. Highly recommend it to everyone!
He must have studied Broadway. He sure can project to the back row.
You should react to Tommy Johansson's cover of Ave Maria.
its not Jo hanson, its JOHANs son ;)
Tommy is not just a great musician he is a real great guy irl also.
And btw, he dont just sing, he plays drums, guitar, bass and keyboard...
Tommy is not rock music, he is Power Metal from head to toes.
And btw, he spent 8 years as the guitarist of sabaton, yeah guitarist, not singer. ;)

It's impossible tô be better than the original.
No one can beat the King Miljenko, original
It’s not maybe better than the original. The video you played of the original was live and amazing but he was in his,late thirties. Play the original video…..he was in his twenties and I seen them live…..the guy was a total off the chart freak of a voice. I was in shock….however this young man is amazing as well.
This young man is born 1987.

Come on Brother's Seweden
Hey BBBrit wanna chat? Been here, waiting, don't suck!
Please, take off that blurred show screen
No way
Tommy is good but can't compare to the King Miljenko
Original by Steel heart is better.... My opinion
You pronounce his name as an english speaking person, but un less you gonna learn swedish I think you have to continue with that pronunciation, it works🙂.
Sorry auto spell
Miljenko Matijevic much better than this man...
Over reaction..
Not near as good as the original

Awkward...
Horrible
Sorry Is not better than the original🤷🏻♂️
Original is great but this is WAY better IMHO.
