Erik is Swedish. He won the Swedish Idol as a young pop singer in 2009. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2021 but still went on to join the American metal band Skid Row in 2022. He recently stepped down so he could pursue his health care and thankfully pursue a solo career too. Wish him the best! Thanks Nick!
I know he is a great singer but i have no clue he was such an amazing singer. I hope that he has finally conquered the battle with his health issues and doing well so he can go on with his music ❤
Swede here. I remember watching Swedish Idol with my daughter in 2009. We both totally fell in love with Erik, he has a fantastic voice and a nice personality. Thanks for this, he needs a bigger audience.
This was the first song I heard Erik sing - lucky me! I have since heard him sing other "covers" which are amazing. However, this is my favourite. The emotion, the power of his voice, the breath control. It's a phenomenal performance.
Ever since I first heard him I have been a fan and found every video he has put out. And yes, the way his veins and tendons pop out shows the power he is putting into his music. Awesome performer.
I just stumbled upon him a few days ago! Awesome voice! So sorry to hear he has leukemia! Praying for his recovery! God gave him a great voice! He can save him too!
What a beautiful way to tell someone how much they truly love them. Eric and Whitney are two of the best singers for this song ❤️. I think Erick should come and sing this song to Dolly on stage.ooh what a honor that would be.
Thanks Nick. A great song written and first recorded by Dolly Parton. Then Whitney recorded it for the Bodyguard movie. Erik's cover is more true to Whitney's version except with his amazing vocals. He adds his own rock/metal edge to it and the sax is the best. So glad Erik is getting better. So much to go through. ❤ from a 🇨🇦Grammy
Erik is constantly changing his distance to the microphone to make it sound right. That takes some level of experience to do that right, knowing and managing his strength and volume.
I noticed that. I am Canadian and a Canadian singer by the name of kd Lang does this with a hand held microphone. She has incredible range in her voice and power and you will see her move the mic away from her similar to Erik. 2 great singers. kd has left us with some great covers and originals. She is retired now I believe
Thanks for your reacting!😊 He gets lymphoma’s leukemia and he actually thinking his life was over…💔😭At that time he has a wife and his son was only three years old.😢 Then he gets the chance to do a bone transplant. He’s bone transplant was ready in end of August in 2021. After a few months, he fights to become stronger and trained on the hospital in all ways he could. You can find a Wonderful song/cover from his time in the hospital, where Erik plays guitar.❤️ I hardly recommend that song! In Mars 24 2022, he stand with “Skid Row” for the first time on a stage in USA. He hasn’t so much hair then and use a hat the first tour he did with them. And they also did an album, which he recorded himself at his own studio in his home and send it over to Rachel B. in “Skid Row”. It was the first time Erik recorded himself on that way. They have said it so many times, “-We are so happy, you didn’t tell us before”.😂😅 But everything goes smoothly then and that album is amazing.🎶❤️🔥🎶 Little from one of Erik Grönwall’s Power Crew members=EPC⚡️❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥 That song Erik does with Dan Vasc, it is Erik’s own song, from his time as front singer in H.e.a.t.

@@82islandguy, no that’s it’s a little bit confusing for people I think… Because it’s a woman who has put this two different covers together, so we can hear the similarities between Erik’s and Dan’s version of “Faithfully”. But I don’t mean to be rude or anything, only saying that it’s not the case. Hug from me and Sweden 🇸🇪
What a great cover! And while most people associate the song with Whitney, it was of course written and originally performed by Dolly Parton (she wrote it the same day she wrote "Jolene")
I love when a person from one genre, blows our minds with his talent taking on another. He's absolutely amazingly talented!!!! Thank you for sharing this. I will dig deeper into his talent!
I see on your smile and speaking face when you really like a song 😂 - and you definitely love this one. We also do - vocals and instruments, and the sax solo. His channel has a lot of amazing stuff to discover. And he did a collab with Dan Vasc on H.E.A.T.s (one of his former bands, the other was Skid Row) "Breaking the Silence" and also one of Sabaton's "Carolus Rex" with Tommy Johansson. Thank you again Nick - and Jamie. 🎶
So glad you're "discovering" this phenomenal singer. He was lead singer for Skid Row for awhile. And since you're a Dan Vasc fan you should check out their collab of Breaking the Silence...pure epic ness😍❤️

Erik also was in New Horizon with Jona Tee, and its Jona on keyboard. Jona also plays a lot of the instruments in Eriks covers, also the mix, master and production are by Jona in most of the covers Erik does. 😀🇸🇪
I heard him with Dan Vasc. Then I saw this a few days ago. Is freaking awesome! THEN I heard him sing Mariah Carey “Without You”. And that one blew me away too. Listen to it!!! This guy is awesome!! To me he’s the best male version! Love your reactions too. Thanks! ❤

What a power...I'm glad you introduced Erik. As mentioned here, Dan did a cover with Erik, just fantastic. But Erik and Tommy also recently did a cover. Did you notice the background design? Erik recently said that he would like to continue to take care of his health. I hope for him that he will succeed. Thank you for your wonderful response to this cover by Erik
Listening again.🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙❤️This man is so BLESSED .His soul is expressing all those crushing lyrics.Letting everyone feel his souls moment.Whitney is smiling.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Great vocals - what-. I sub to his channel and enjoy his work immensely. He says health and family first so demonstrates a keen level of maturity that matches his vocals. Thank you for this.😊
Nick, so glad you found Erik, he's on my short list of favorites with Dan Vasc. You may notice other commentors mention Erik's collaboration with Dan Vasc with "Breaking the Silence" I think you would like it a lot. Hope you can react to it. I love your channel and your visceral and sometimes emotional responses to artists. Thanks

This is Dolly Parton’s song she wrote and performed it first. Whitney sang a different version than Dolly both sang it really well so does Eric. Whitney made Dolly a lot of money from this song 👍🏻😁🏴
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, he was in the middle of his cancer treatment when he did it. I promise that you won't be disappointed.
Maybe you could also react to another Swedish singer songwriter, Chris Kläfford. His version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun …. or his original song that’s called “Cold At the Altar” it’s dedicated to his great grandmother, because he promised her to sing Hallelujah at her funeral. ❤ Think you might enjoy both of them.
Here is a mix of covers and one song he has written. It's different genres, high notes, low notes, soft and tender, crystal clear and a fragility voice that you don't expect from a rock/metal singer. I teach students how source search engines and algorithms works. That's why I put in links to the songs instead of just write song title. It's a way to support Erik as a TH-cam producer. I also pasted Erik’s own comments if he has written one for the song he preform. All so a way to “feed the TH-cam algorithm”.

Erik was in Swedish Idol a loooong time ago. He was just a little boy, really. Fantastic to see him all grown up and slaying it.
He was on IDOL 2009. He is just amasing!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing Erik Grönwalls version of Whitney Houstons song. I get chills hearing Erik. He's amazing ❤
Erik is way better than Whitney for me. I have watched this performance many, many tomes!! The man's voice is astonishing.
Erik is Swedish. He won the Swedish Idol as a young pop singer in 2009. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2021 but still went on to join the American metal band Skid Row in 2022. He recently stepped down so he could pursue his health care and thankfully pursue a solo career too. Wish him the best! Thanks Nick!
Thanks, Jamie. We have Team Tommy and Vasc Nation, methinks it's time for Erik to have a personal following too? We need some ideas❤
@@DaffyDill-zg8no He is so talented isn’t he? He needs his own “army”?
@jamiem4941 Eriks Army then?
@@DaffyDill-zg8no Sounds good! BTS shouldn’t be the only one with their own army!
@@jamiem4941 Agreed!
Erik from sweden. 10 years as leadsinger in HEAT. After that i survived lucemia ( cancer).
Now his back singing❤
Wish this man well ,he is such a great singer ,l hope to see him in concert one day.
Unfriggin unbelievable amazing incredible top notch world class. Did not think that Whitney could be topped???. I have tears in my eyes!!!
I know he is a great singer but i have no clue he was such an amazing singer. I hope that he has finally conquered the battle with his health issues and doing well so he can go on with his music ❤
He wasn't asked by skid row to be their singer for nothing, they even waited for him to recover from cancer, because they wanted him specifically.
Whitney Houston's version is beautiful. Not to take anything away from her, but the emotion that Eric adds is amazing, gut wrenchingly incredible !❤😅
Dolly Parton sings this ten times better than Whitney Houston. After all Dolly wrote the song
Cudos to Dolly for writing a beautiful song
I like his version better! Love his voice❤
Swede here. I remember watching Swedish Idol with my daughter in 2009. We both totally fell in love with Erik, he has a fantastic voice and a nice personality. Thanks for this, he needs a bigger audience.
Me too...
I have never heard a man sing this song well it`s about time Erik thank you that was a treat.

Ever since I first heard him I have been a fan and found every video he has put out. And yes, the way his veins and tendons pop out shows the power he is putting into his music. Awesome performer.
I bet Dolly is proud of how he sang her song.
Wow! Erik was just sensational, so sorry he isn't or wasn't well. He was just amazing to listen to. BRILLIANT!!!!!!
The best of the best . Continue praying for his recovery.
OMG I just love him ❤️
This guy is so freakin talented oh my gosh! Thank for your reaction!
No problem!
I just stumbled upon him a few days ago! Awesome voice! So sorry to hear he has leukemia! Praying for his recovery! God gave him a great voice! He can save him too!
Actually, swedish health care saved him. He is doing fine now.
What a beautiful way to tell someone how much they truly love them. Eric and Whitney are two of the best singers for this song ❤️. I think Erick should come and sing this song to Dolly on stage.ooh what a honor that would be.
Erik is absolutely amazing what a voice ❤🤘❤️💯

Love him! 🔥
He is incredible. What a super star,
Thanks for your reacting!😊
He gets lymphoma’s leukemia and he actually thinking his life was over…💔😭At that time he has a wife and his son was only three years old.😢
Then he gets the chance to do a bone transplant. He’s bone transplant was ready in end of August in 2021. After a few months, he fights to become stronger and trained on the hospital in all ways he could.
You can find a Wonderful song/cover from his time in the hospital, where Erik plays guitar.❤️ I hardly recommend that song!
In Mars 24 2022, he stand with “Skid Row” for the first time on a stage in USA. He hasn’t so much hair then and use a hat the first tour he did with them.
And they also did an album, which he recorded himself at his own studio in his home and send it over to Rachel B. in “Skid Row”. It was the first time Erik recorded himself on that way. They have said it so many times, “-We are so happy, you didn’t tell us before”.😂😅
But everything goes smoothly then and that album is amazing.🎶❤️🔥🎶

im so glad you loved it!!! he’s an amazing singer. check out his earlier videos after he came out of hospital after he had a bone marrow transplant.

he is by far one of the best male vocalist right now. I hate he left Skid Row, But I dont blame him.

dont forget he fronted Heat for about 10 yrs or so
And “New Horizon” maybe spits out some more new music?!🎶❤️
Now when Erik gets his new way, so is it possible.🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥
From Denmark love til Erik 🎉

In Mars 24 2022, he stand with “Skid Row” for the first time on a stage in USA. He hasn’t so much hair then and use a hat the first tour he did with them.
And they also did an album, which he recorded himself at his own studio in his home and send it over to Rachel B. in “Skid Row”. It was the first time Erik recorded himself on that way. They have said it so many times, “-We are so happy, you didn’t tell us before”.😂😅
But everything goes smoothly then and that album is amazing.🎶❤️🔥🎶
What a power...I'm glad you introduced Erik.
As mentioned here, Dan did a cover with Erik, just fantastic.
But Erik and Tommy also recently did a cover.
Did you notice the background design?
Erik recently said that he would like to continue to take care of his health. I hope for him that he will succeed.
Thank you for your wonderful response to this cover by Erik
Listening again.🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙❤️This man is so BLESSED .His soul is expressing all those crushing lyrics.Letting everyone feel his souls moment.Whitney is smiling.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I heard him first with Dan Vasc singing Breaking the Silence It was great. I was intrigued and had to check out Erik's channel.
Oh wow....... everyone's first comments experiencing Erik:s gift. Lol!!!
Subbed, love your reaction. I have no time for comparisons by reactors so you are one of a few. Erik has given this song the WOW factor❤
He won Swedish IDOL!
How he’s from skid row
AMEN! 👏🙏❤️🗣🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
Great reaction. Eric did a wonderful job. It was fabulous.
Great vocals - what-. I sub to his channel and enjoy his work immensely. He says health and family first so demonstrates a keen level of maturity that matches his vocals. Thank you for this.😊
Get outta here! Wow! He is amazing
Nick, so glad you found Erik, he's on my short list of favorites with Dan Vasc. You may notice other commentors mention Erik's collaboration with Dan Vasc with "Breaking the Silence" I think you would like it a lot. Hope you can react to it. I love your channel and your visceral and sometimes emotional responses to artists. Thanks
But that song Erik does with Dan Vasc, is Erik’s own song, from his time as front singer in H.e.a.t. (Swedish band)🇸🇪from 2010-2020. It’s an H.e.a.t. song.❤️🔥🎶🤘🏼
So for Dan Vasc is it a cover, but as you understand, it’s not for Erik.❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥🎶

Great song by the writer and original performer Dolly Parton.
I heard him first with Tommy covering Carolus Rex. Since then i have been a fan of Erik . His voice is so fantastic 🫶💥
This is Dolly Parton’s song she wrote and performed it first. Whitney sang a different version than Dolly both sang it really well so does Eric. Whitney made Dolly a lot of money from this song 👍🏻😁🏴
You need to react to Erik singing Haouse Of The Rising Sun and also Oh Holy Night They will blow your mind
They are playing in thir parts in diffrnt places and send it to put together!!
It's originally a Dolly Parton song she wrote it
He’s amazing, what a voice, maybe better than Whitney! Tx fir the reaction!❤❤❤❤
Amazing !
I urge you to check out his take on Mariah Careys without you AND Aerosmiths Dream on.
WOW 😊
Now i know how my culture in England grew from nordic culture Vikings
The power ballad to end all power ballads.
Awesome :)
Bra!!!!!😮
❤
Please check out his cover with tommy johansson ' carolus Rex '.
I thought you did great analyzing fortnite - thank you
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, he was in the middle of his cancer treatment when he did it. I promise that you won't be disappointed.
I am sure Whitney would love this
'Headless cross' or why not a Maria Carey ...🇸🇪
🎶❤️🔥🤘🏼🎶❤️🔥Yea that song is amazing!🎶❤️🔥🎶🤘🏼
👍❤️
It's a Dolly Parton song. Whitney Houston got her permission to sing it.
Underbar röst 🥰
Maybe you could also react to another Swedish singer songwriter, Chris Kläfford. His version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun …. or his original song that’s called “Cold At the Altar” it’s dedicated to his great grandmother, because he promised her to sing Hallelujah at her funeral. ❤ Think you might enjoy both of them.
The song was written by Dolly Parton
You need to listen to his cover of Dream on by Aerosmith ❤
Someone please send this to Dolly Parton !
❤❤❤
Here is a mix of covers and one song he has written. It's different genres, high notes, low notes, soft and tender, crystal clear and a fragility voice that you don't expect from a rock/metal singer.
I teach students how source search engines and algorithms works. That's why I put in links to the songs instead of just write song title. It's a way to support Erik as a TH-cam producer.
I also pasted Erik’s own comments if he has written one for the song he preform. All so a way to “feed the TH-cam algorithm”.

I brought my guitar to the hospital when I was undergoing chemotherapy and started playing this song. It was like my body was singing this to me "I put a spell on you, because you're mine"...

Really must listen to pSydnie Christmas Over the Rainbow Nd Tomorrow. terrific
erik singer of skidrow, best we ever got, suffering from leukeimia. please donate💗💗💗💗💗💗
This song is not by Whitney Houston, it's by Dolly Parton. However Whitney Houston made a cover of it.
You have to listen to him sing Chandelier by Sia. Eric sings it so much better than Sia. His voice is phenomenal.
Gostei muito e não fica nada a dever as meninas!!!!!!!.....
Erik is an amazing talent and genuinely good human. If you want to react to another great Swedish singer, check out Nils Molin from Dynazty. If you want to be blown away, check out Albanian singer, Eugent Bushpepa's cover of Steelheart's She's Gone. If you want to see a multi-instrumentalist and outstanding vocalist, check out Dino Jelusick's cover of Jane by Starship.
The song is originally by Dolly Parton, not Whitney Houston (jeez). Erik is Swedish and the best. There.
Erik is amazing singer. But you all the the why is the saxophone so sexy and just pulls you in?!? A great performance. ❤
🤘🇸🇪
Kills me how people always say Whitney’s song. It was around before her
🤘😁🇫🇮💙🇸🇪🪄🎼✨💯👍
A great song by Dolly Parton.
Think you missed when Erik sings a cover of Numb, th-cam.com/video/BbmS3jptpLc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=g3ev8-tzCJDpGXJO
Check it out!!❤
I prefer the original (Dolly Parton) but this is also good
