Tommy is also one of those who hasn't really had to work too much on his voice. Apparently, he doesn't really have to warm up, he just sings. A true talent
Hej, True anatomy too, because you have to be built for it too. Not denying the talent, mind. He has sounded that fresh all my life (och jag är inte ung längre), and I've heard that too. No voice lessons either that I've ever heard of. Vänligen, Ann
To combine some of your recent discoverys.... I would recommend you listening to Tommy Körberg singing "Anthem" from the musical Chess.... that musical was also written by Björn and Benny (also of ABBA...but you already know that) who also wrote the musical "Kristina från Duvemåla"...where you discovered both Helen Sjöholm and Peter Jöback ;)
@@daw7563 He sure is! I also like this live version with symphony orchestra. Something special about live performances I think 🙂 th-cam.com/video/R7QJe1oxpps/w-d-xo.htmlsi=myqipU0OLPFbff5L
Not many people could ever dream of giving Celine effing Dion run for her money, but alas Tommy Körberg exist. I can't even imagine - being Celine and being SURPRISED by a singer. Must have been one hell of an experience for her. To be challenged like that, must have been a shock for sure, but also...such a joy.
I've seen this clip surely a thousand times, and I still can't get over Celines face as Tommy belts out *chuckles* I also love his smug/cheeky look at her and that he then hands her a rose, making them both smile. Celine has a World-Class voice, I adore her, but in this preformance I feel like Tommy outshines her by miiiiles
Exactly. I think that is why Celine made that face. She did not like that he took over🤣 because she could not have been surprised that he could sing when he competed against her in EurovisionSongContest in 1988
The real reason to Celines suprised look is that Tommt didn't do the belting during the rehearsals, he just marked it. Tommy said that himself in an interview later. Celine probably assumed that Tommy wasn't going to belt in the concert either.
Tommy körberg is world class singer. The best male singer in sweden in my oppinion. He is still performing 75yo and sounds better than ever. Check out some of his recent live performence. The song he is most known for is anthem. And stad i ljus ❤
😂😂😂 the way she looks at him and just “ha, you didn’t expect that!” I love to know what went through her head in that moment. Tommy is a funny guy so you can bet money on that he planned this. He once told me a joke when he was in Malmö (south of Sweden) that still cracks me up. Tommy: “Do you know what sound you heard before the Big Bang? Me: “No…?” Tommy: “Ups!” And then his loud laughter for 5 minutes…😂
You should react to him singing Anthem from the musical Chess. It is written by Björn and Benny from ABBA. Be sure to listen to a a recording from the 80's. That's when Tommy was at his best.
Your reaction on this was beautiful to watch. Your love and appreciation of great music is written all of your face. Love that. Celine and Tommy are world class singers. And this was a world class performance. Thanks for sharing!
It's hilarious xD Coz Tommy is just hilarious at times. You never know what he will pull off :P He also has a beautiful song "Stad i Ljus" or "City in Light" as it's translated. It is really beautiful, but I am not entirely sure if there is one with subtitles. Maybe we can make that happen if you want to hear it and there is no subs for any video. It is well worth listening to. :)
I'll second this suggestion. "Stad i ljus" is a classic and nowadays is usually used as a "Last song of the night" at bars and parties, where everyone just joins in to take farewell of the night.
"Stad i ljus" is indeed a very beautiful and powerful song sung by Tommy and according to the writer/composer Py Bäckman it´s about Heaven, which one can understand when listening to the text.
Apparently he went to a voice coach once because he figured he probably should. They just said "And what could I possibly teach you". Such a natural voice talent. Btw he competed in Eurovision the same year as Celine won the competition. He was sick that day and his voice failed him otherwise he probably would have had a good chance at winning. If you can find the live performance from the Swedish competition (Melodifestivalen) of "Stad i ljus" it's great. Otherwise "Anthem" from the musical Chess is great. Olivier Awards performance
As a Swede I really see this as a perfect "Hah!.. gotcha!" moment... the part of not showing full potential in practise but giving it all on set is a typical swedish humor. Tommy Körberg is indeed one of the best male singers from Sweden I can think of. Also.. love your beard. Wish I could grow one as good as yours (as a hetro male I still feel that it's important to point stuff like that out) :D
Thanks for your reactions! FYI Dead by April recorded a song - For Every Step - a few years ago, featuring Tommy Körberg as lead singer. It's not as hard core as you might be used to from Dead by April, but it is very good all the same. It can be found here on TH-cam.
Ohh, you got me. My first thought was "Celine Dion on this channel?" Then, I watched the video and ended up kicking my snobby little butt good. This man has a gorgeous voice. I loved "the look" and his little smirk, and visual apology. Second thought "I want to hear him sing with Floor". But, I looked him up, he's 75 now and it doesn't look like he has done anything since 2017.
Oh yes, but he has! Tommy Körberg has been active all along since 2017 and is still touring in Sweden. I saw Tommy live in concert in 2018 (solo), then in 2019 (with BAO and Helen) and then again solo in february 2020 (just before the pandemic stopped everything), and I can tell you that he is still very, very good! Yes, his voice is a little darker due to age, but his singing is still just as flawless as ever. Check out (ABBA-)Benny Anderssons Orchestra (BAO). Tommy AND Helen Sjöholm are the lead vocalists and together they are fantastic. And with BAO.... WOW! Benny Andersson sure knows to pick the best vocalists and the best musicians!
He is still active for sure and still very good. He was though very ill during the pandemic and it has affected his voice a bit. He was not sure if he was ever going to be able to sing again but luckily he got through that.
And to think, Tommy has no vocal schooling. None. And unfortunately for a while there he got quite over his head, grew arrogant, and then fell quite gravely ill. He is a much humbler man today. Fun fact, "Anthem" is haunting him. Even though the song "Stad i ljus" (city in Light) is my all-time favourite song (written especially for Tommy and his lung-capacity), he's described as "the guy who sings Anthem" XD
Lol, yeah this is my favourite version of this song. Both because of their voices sounding so perfect together and knowing the Trolling Tommy story behind it😂 It's not usually music I listen to but sometimes I get nostalgic and want to listen to the disney songs that you used to adore as a young girl😉
First of all, check out the original version of Anthem from the musical Chess. He sang that. Also, look up the Swedish duet version of Beauty and the Beast (Sofia Källgren Tommy Körberg Skönheten och Odjuret). He gets to show off there too, but with someone who knows him.
Tommy was our first big musical theater star, debuting in the first musical Chess, by Björn and Benny. The role was written with his voice in mind. I had the pleasure to hear the musical Chess live with Tommy K and Helen Sjöholm live, a once in life experience. The rcording from 1984 Polar studio of original recording of Anthem is a must
Stop listening to haters or behaving like one. Too many haters like to call Celine a diva when she has never changed since young, she has character, but she's more humble than many people, and she's also a perfectionist. Her strong expression too often misunderstood for arrogance when she's far from this attitude.
I have had the privilege of experiencing Tommy live at a small restaurant along the Swedish coast. When Tommy saw a little boy, he sang a Swedish classical melody for children - with full force. Tommy can sing anything, that night offered a "boy song" to Hendrix _ Rock hard
Great reaction of yours! 😊I would have been as surpised as you not knowing who Tommy Körberg is. And that story about what happened before the performance - 😄 Now I get her reaction too!
That was fun and a bit different! Did you know Celine Dion is Floor's favourite singer? Floor hates her choice of music but loves her voice. Anyway, Happy Christmas!
Hi thanks for your amazing reaction videos! I really recommend a duett with Tommy Körberg singing together with Helen Sjöholm. The title is "You and I" and its also from the musical Chess. Theres only one recording on YT of them together singing that track, posted 11 years ago.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Forgot to say that they sing it in Swedish in that performance so you have to search for the title "Du och Jag" instead of the English "you and I" 😅
Breathtaking and goosebumps giving! You’ve now discovered at least two of my favorite Swedish singers, Helene and Tommy. But there are some more. I think that you as a metal guy has proved that music, lyrics and expression is the essence of the art of music. I do believe that you would appreciate Jussi Björling, a Swedish opera singer, a tenor, with an outstanding voice, whom even Caruso admired highly. Metal and opera =❤? I suggest you chose “O holy night “ or in Swedish “O helga natt”, as it is the most beautiful version I know.
Trivia..The big dude in the middle..is a folklore singer..He was trying to diss Körberg..caling him pompus something like that..on live tv..Körberg gave him the look..
Hi from Sweden i think Tommy said one time about this that before when They trained that he had some cold but i dont know … Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!! 🇸🇪
hi i'm from sweden and are new to your chanel and i love you reactions have you listen to o helga natt (o holy night) with tommy körberg? his voice is so beautiful in that song😊
Tommy Körberg and Helene Sjöholm actually did a duett togheter from Chess in Swedish ”Du och jag (you and I)” th-cam.com/video/mea1HxG62Sk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zhyojfaZjmz9bAY8 if you want to see them togheter.
People who worked on that production will actually confirm this story. Dion didnt really know who Korberg was. He showed up late, unshaven and shabbily dressed for their rehearsal. Korberg often comes through as arrogant and aloof. He is simply not impressed by anyone. During rehearsals he mostly mumbled and held back to save his voice for the performance. Safe to say mega-star Dion was not impressed at all and mostly wanted to get it over with and fly home. So, yes, this explains her genuine reaction at 2:24. She simply did not know this buffoon could sing like that.
Hi, I know, right. He is built like that. No official training I've ever heard of. Known to not have to warm up before a gig so I can believe that he wouldn't have been inclined to go all out in a rehearsal. I sounds almost the same now and he's 76. Yours, Ann
Just a short comment on this... I love the jawdropping reaction and I certainly concur with earlier comments, make yourself a favor and check out the song Anthem with him.
He did the swedish voice to the Beast. And i guess that is all she knew. So when he just sang it throguh without using all his voice. Belike she think, who is this guy? "why did he make the sweidish voice to the beast" and then... WOW where did that came from? :O and here he does the swedish version with the swedish "Belle" th-cam.com/video/utr1CXUEZs0/w-d-xo.html
Tommy is a national treasure. He has so many amazing songs in his repertoar. To add one of the saddest and most beautiful songs ever written to the suggestions you already gotten in the comments I will suggest Secret Garden (the Norwegians behind You raise me up) ft Tommy Körberg If came the hour th-cam.com/video/w-Gn-MbsxGA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UUZZlHNA62iREng8
I feel so bad for english speaking reactors gping for this trifecta. Helen, Peter and Tommy all have the "Ö" in their last name making your mife hell tryi g tp pronounce it 🤣 I dont think there is a really good way to explain how it sounds but the closest Ive come wheb trying is that i sounds like the "i" in "bird". Also bothe Helen and Tommy has another annoying Swedish thing ib thwir name, being the "sch" sound thats not spelled "sch". The "SJ" is pronounced "sch" and "K" is also pronounced "sch" but _only_ if its followed by an "ö"... Otherwise is a regular sounding "K". So, Körberg becomes "Schörberg" and Sjöholm becomes "Schöholm". Keep in mind that these "ö" sound roughly like the i in "bird". Its convoluted AF, no one is blaming you for getting it wrong, trust me 🤣 Our grammar is really tricky. But I hope this very confusing comment helps you somewhat.
The man has great talent but when you mix talent with ego and unprofessionalism, this is what happens. You owe your audience the best. You owe your partner in song the best. He was on a mission to upstage the hell out of her and everything else be damned. She was unbelievably gracious and unbelievably professional and she deserved so much better and so did the audience. Shame on him.
And the presenter of in the video had a bad eye for Körberg, probably because he could sing opera and the big numbers for Christmas, but Tommy was better and got some of the jobs the presenter usually got and become jealous. Which we unfortunately can't see in this clip, but having seen the whole clip it's pretty awkward 'couse people wondered why he had a stick up his ass :-). Obviously jealousy can do that :-)
Tommy is also one of those who hasn't really had to work too much on his voice. Apparently, he doesn't really have to warm up, he just sings. A true talent
I’d love to hear him sing this with Ariana Grande

Dead By April made a colab with Tommy Körberg, check it out. It is really good.

Im proud to say im swedish when im listening to a real KING.
A hidden gem is "Unchained light" by Tommy. It's the English version of his song "Stad I Ljus" from the Eurovision song contest.

Agree on the Anthem request, it is so good!
Tommy Körberg has an totally untrained voice, it's the voice he was born with. One of our best voices in Sweden!
If you like this kind of stuff, I can recommend reacting to anything from the Les Miserables 10th anniversary. How about Philip Quast singing "Stars".
I think he held a grudge for that 1988 loss
He tricked her by keeping it restrained while they were rehearsing. She had no idea what was coming on. And you can tell by his smile. :-)
Tommy Körberg and Helene Sjöholm actually did a duett togheter from Chess in Swedish ”Du och jag (you and I)” th-cam.com/video/mea1HxG62Sk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zhyojfaZjmz9bAY8 if you want to see them togheter.

she is a superstar, he is a guy you can have a beer with.
Tommy sings good byt Celine has a voice that touch your strings
Don't mess with jantel❤agen
Just a short comment on this...

some hints on pronounciation, Helene Sjöholm => Helene Shuh-holllm. Peter Jöback = Petur Juh-bakk, Tommy Körberg => Tommy Chuhr-burg 🙂
I’m a fan and admirer of both, but I think Tommy, just shot Celine out of the sky, and over classed her a little!

6:40 Sorry its tomorrow 7/1 2024 in Stockholm
I feel so bad for english speaking reactors gping for this trifecta.
Helen, Peter and Tommy all have the "Ö" in their last name making your mife hell tryi g tp pronounce it 🤣
I dont think there is a really good way to explain how it sounds but the closest Ive come wheb trying is that i sounds like the "i" in "bird".
Also bothe Helen and Tommy has another annoying Swedish thing ib thwir name, being the "sch" sound thats not spelled "sch".
The "SJ" is pronounced "sch" and "K" is also pronounced "sch" but _only_ if its followed by an "ö"... Otherwise is a regular sounding "K".
So, Körberg becomes "Schörberg" and Sjöholm becomes "Schöholm".
Keep in mind that these "ö" sound roughly like the i in "bird".
Its convoluted AF, no one is blaming you for getting it wrong, trust me 🤣
Our grammar is really tricky.
But I hope this very confusing comment helps you somewhat.

The man has great talent but when you mix talent with ego and unprofessionalism, this is what happens. You owe your audience the best. You owe your partner in song the best. He was on a mission to upstage the hell out of her and everything else be damned. She was unbelievably gracious and unbelievably professional and she deserved so much better and so did the audience. Shame on him.
And the presenter of in the video had a bad eye for Körberg, probably because he could sing opera and the big numbers for Christmas, but Tommy was better and got some of the jobs the presenter usually got and become jealous. Which we unfortunately can't see in this clip, but having seen the whole clip it's pretty awkward 'couse people wondered why he had a stick up his ass :-). Obviously jealousy can do that :-)
