    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.

    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

"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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
