Welcome to the world that is Tommy Johansson. Multi talented, 2 groups, his solo music, plays the guitar, keyboard, drums, cooks, artist, edits and produces his videos, he's trilingual (Swedish, Italian, English) every song he covers is on the trending list in Sweden. Oh and he's learning to play the accordion. Tommy is practically perfect in every way.

You are so right. Tommy is one of the most talented people I know. He also draws. The drawings of his Disneyton the lion king/ primo Victoria are his.

Also he has amazing hair! Very attractive man to look and listen to. Probably one the biggest reasons i am a Sabaton fan. ALso..whenever his videos premier on YT he does join in the chat which is amazing.
"You Raise me up - One octave higher " is a must listen! His range is in the Dimash area, he is incredible.
He gives me goosebumps everytime I hear him. ❤
I remember the first time I saw the movie and I cried my heart out when she died and I felt his heartbreaking sorrow... That has made a great impression on me... I love the song and I love Tommy and his amazing voice!
So happy that you guys finally reacted to Tommy. Amazingly gifted musician/artist. Check out his one octave higher version of "You raise me up"
This is one of the best Queen covers I have ever heard. If you want to hear more awesome vocals from Tommy, I recommend his covers of Phantom of the Opera, She's Gone (Steelheart) and The Light - not actually a cover but the re-recording of the first single he released with his band ReinXeed (called Majestica now) as a 20- year anniversary celebration. He started that band when he was 14, a lot of band members changed over the years except Tommy who is singer and songwriter
This song is deep, emotional, moving, and depth that leaves you speechless. His voice is smooth as silk. A Masterpiece from the one and only Tommy.

i'm still not over the disneyfied winged hussards ^^
If you were blown away by this one, wait till you check out some of his other covers. "She's gone" & "Never let you go" by Steelheart, "Alone" by Heart, "Eagle fly free" by Helloween, some Gary Moore covers, incredible Disney/Sabaton mashups and of course "You raise me up". That one hits hard! Really really hard!! He sings the whole song one octave higher than the original! Insane voice range! Out of this world! Brace yourselves cause he is on... supersonic mode on that one! Anyways, that was a great reaction and I hope you will do more reactions on him. This guy is beyond amazing! You can't go wrong with him! He will leave you in awe!.. 😉✌🤟🤘
I just discovered Tommy about 6 months ago and had no idea who he was. As I've continued watching, not only his guitar skills, but his voice also have continued to blow me away time and time again. He has an absolutely incredible voice. He can belt and scream like a metal singer, sure. But he can also have such a delicate touch when he wants to. I wouldn't be surprised if he can do operatic singing as well. Glad you've discovered him.
He's a brilliant voice! Talented in many ways.
You HAVE to check more of his stuff... Like his cover of Steelhart - She's gone. Or his one oktave challence of You raise me up...
Highlander is one of my all time favourites, amazing cover. Thanks!!
Thank you for another great video!❤❤❤❤ May you consider doing a reaction video of Tommy Johansson's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody? You will not regret it😉❤️🇸🇪
Great reaction as always...as other commentaries suggests songs I´ll name "You raise me up"(one octave challange) for you guys to react to. 🙂
I would love to see Tommy and Floor do a Queen cover together.....think that would be epic.

OMG, I had so much difficulty not bursting into song in the middle of the office!
You have begun on an incredible journey into the world of Tommy! Might I suggest his "Disneyton" (Disney & Sabaton) mashup, "Swedish Pagans" and his "You Raise Me Up" (1 Octave Challenge) videos. All of his covers & mashups are great but these are two of my faves.

He used to do ABBA covers with metal, maybe it was that you heard.
My god this is next level good. Sounds so like queen but even better. Fantastic
Since you guys have a great appreciation for great vocalist so I’m surprised you haven’t gone down the Tommy rabbit hole yet. I got a suggestion for you if you want another of his covers that blow your socks off his recent one from Journey… Separate Ways. Wow has it got the feels! Love your reaction guys I love you both and Ginger, as always you’re so lovely! take care guys

Hey from Sweden.. hope to see you in the final in hockey!
My favorite version of this is the night after the shooting at The Pulse nightclub and Queen + Adam Lambert performed it at The Isle of Wight festival. Adam gave an amazing performance and Roger Taylor said he had never heard it sung like that before. The lighting and vocals made it a spectacular performance.
he has a greate cover by thin lizzy too.......emerald ...
Great genuine reaction!! i love it, please do more reactions to Tommy, he is out of this world! :D
Well...there are soo many videos to choose from...all of which are excellent. My favorites are his rendition of Heart's Alone and the One Octave Challenge....as well as his catalog of Gary Moore covers - which was a huge guitar inspiration to him growing up.
Wow!
Thank you!! Love Tommy😙Tommy is from Sweden and pay tribute to the Queen of the UK. Awesome. 😍
oh those swedes! talking about swedes - anna von hausswolff is from sweden, too! what a coincident!
Oh yes, you guys gotta dive into more of his covers, they are all excellent! I don't even know where to start... Phantom of the Opera, You raise me up (1 octave challenge), Una canzone d'amore.... For the latter one I recommend to take a sneak peek at 883's original to see how he changed it. Have lots of fun!

What do you mean you never heard Tommy sing before???? Tommy is Amazing and has plenty of covers on KZread. Check out phantom of the opera and you raise me up. Tommy also has his own band Majestica formerly Reinxeed. He does amazing stuff. Please please do more Tommy Johansson ❤️
With christmas approaching, Tommy singing lead in his band Majestica - Ghost of Marley. My favorite covers are Gary Moore - Over the Hills and Far Away, who by the way, was the musician that initially inspired Tommy. And his cover of Roxette - The Look is cool too (but has to be the one Swedish Hitz Goes Metal ft. PelleK).. Of course there are so many good ones including this one.
So surprising that he doesn't sing lead for Sabaton but they have gone a different route. This is a great performance but doesn't get even close to his upper range. What a singer !!

Though Tommy's voice is certainly amazing in his own glory, somehow when he sings instead of Joakim in Sabaton, the songs doesn't have the same power. His vocals sure can go gritty too, and darker, but not like Joakim. So there is that reason, if no other.
He's also the lead singer for MAJESTICA. The song I recommend you listen to. MAJESTICA - Metal United (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
You did the joy of christmas Majestica...incl vocals by Tommy...
Tommy has a great voice and range. All of his covers are amazing. You should definitely check out his Phantom of the Opera rendition. Also the cover of Kang Hyungho (aka PITTA) of this song is mind-blowing: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hImjx5OeYdHZnrQ.html Kang is a member of the male crossover vocal quartet Forestella from South Korea. I recommended these amazing guys in one of you last livestreams. A reaction to their beautiful cover of "Scarborough Fair" would be awesome: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gIujk85sp5mffso.html
The tempo was faster than the original. I unfortunately felt this rendition was missing a bit of the "majesty" of the original because of that. But the performance is REALLY enjoyable!!! :-)
Welcome to the world of Tommy❤
He's Tommy Johansson from 'Sabaton'. 😜👍
This guy 👌💯😍🎸🇸🇪❤️
Tommy is awesome Basket Case cover is a must. Tommy's very talented check out his channel.
More Tommy please.
He also has some great Thin Lizzy and Gary Moore covers.
Sweet??????? He is the best of the BEST.
Btw @Ginger and Mike - you have heard him sing before as you have reacted to MAJESTICA - THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS... This is his own band...
You need to check out his band Majestica (formerly ReinXeed).
He also is the frontfigur for Majestica.
Hi ya guys! You have a short memory. 😁😁 It was 2020 you reacted Tommy singing a Christmas song called "The Joy of Christmas". I think you were digging that too. I suggest you to find out more of his production in his own channel. Quite a lot to shake your socks...😆😆

Wow, how could I have not heard you say you’re Canadian before?? Hi from Nova Scotia!! (I’m a transplant, was from Ontario only a few months ago). Tommy is amazing! Yes, sounds like Freddy, and this song is definitely from a great movie!! In the last year or so, the 3 people I’ve discovered that are out of this world are Dimash, Faouzia and Tommy. All 3 are phenomenal in their own rights! Glad you’re doing these reactions!! (Oh, and I also lived in England for a bit, but since moving back I haven’t really been keeping up in them anarchy stuff, just couldn’t be bothered, but her passing is definitely a huge deal).

1:57 in and i must say, it does remind me of a rock xmas song.
I think it's especially impressive that he released this while on tour. I had assumed his Friday videos released while on tour were prerecorded at home, but this one clearly wasn't (being a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II after all). Do check out Majestica.
Seriously....Tommy is absolutely fantastic, and these 2 numpties don't give him half the credit he deserves, and he sounds NOTHING like Freddie, so they guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Say it as it is, absolutely breathtakingly amazing!!!!!
Highlander is one of best movies ever made. Big part of it is Queens music...there's no new Freddy but well done tommy
Tommy has his own band as well ... Majestica !! On his channel he does a new cover song EVERY Friday. I really hope you can check them out.
This man embodies Freddie Mercury in this song. My lighter is lit.
ABBA and Tommy! Proud Swede :)
"Where are we?" "We're at the Highlands. Were else? Running down a mountainside. The sun is shining. It's not cold. You've got your sheepskins on... And the boots I made for you. Good night, my bonny Heather".
he is so talented, plays guitar in Sabaton
Yepp. In the Sabaton community were quite proud of him. \m/ :)
TJ world, every friday 12.00🇸🇪🇸🇪 And now you have a lot to do guys....

He ain’t Freddy, but he’s pretty fine. This is one of the most heartbreaking love songs from the 80’s and he nailed it. We are very pro-Queen in our household. Maybe we could get Sabaton to do a cover of “Flash!”

Well, I'm an old enough old fart to remember the funeral of KG VI and the coronation of Queen Elisabeth II, somewhere lot in time is my coronation mug handed out at school, we all got one. Yeh, I'm with Mike, QE II is a hard/impossible act to follow and presently I am no huge fan of KC III either, but time will tell. Incidentally, have you two permanently escaped the bitter cold of Canada for somewhere more tropical and sunny ?

I would love to see him perform with Queen, instead of the bloke they chose, he's got the voice,charisma and presence, I've been a Queen fan since the 70s but for me I wasn't a fan of their choice. Of singer.

It would be wise to avoid comparing Freddie to anyone when it comes to Queen covers, it's just impossible to outdo him. At the same time this is one of the best non-Freddie performances of this song I have heard, comparable to Adam's Isle of Wight performance. You don't have to agree with me, of course. Just adding my 2 cents
