At first i was like oh f*ck, this song is more worn out than an old pair of shoes, but then Erik started to sing and I was spellbound. He somehow managed to breathe new life into the song and absolutely nailed it! And its a damn hard song to sing too.
He is incredible...Skid Row are going to miss him so much....i love it when you get blown away by an artist. On Breaking The Silence with Dan Vasc, his voice is excellent
Dolly Parton's humble & sincere song she wrote as a "goodbye" to her time on the Porter Wagner Show has transcended time & genre as it's been remade twice by 2 powerhouse vocalists in Pop & now Rock. I know she's gotta be loving Erik's cover just as she did Whitney's. This was awesome!
Erik's voice is amazing. BTW, the original was written and performed by Dolly Parton in 1973, who had a hit with it in her own right back in the day. Then Whitney took it to a whole new level, and now Erik pays homage to Whitney's version while still making it his own. Enjoyed your reaction.
No this is a goodbye-friendship-love-song to his beloved “Skid Row”. Exactly the same as way Dolly Patron wrote this song. She wrote this song for her’s band, when they broke up, so this is her’s Goodbye-Friendship-love-song. As I’m a member of Grönwall Power Crew=GPC community⚡️, I know this because Erik doesn’t say it, but we all understand it. And this is an Amazing cover. I also wonder how long he could have more air left, on that long time in the end. But I know he said , the hardest part was the start.❤️ Hi is amazing and I recommend you to listen to his new album “Dream On”🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥 Thanks from Sweden🇸🇪
I really like your nice and honest reactions to our beloved Swedish musicians, Tommy Johansson and Erik Grönwall. Yes, they are both very good singers. This comes from a fellow Swede.😍😊👍
Yes Dolly Parton wrote this song and she originally recorded it. Then Whitney sang it for the Bodyguard. Dolly made a lot of money from Whitney doing that song. As much as I love Dolly for her song writing and singing I am really, REALLY impressed with Erik's cover. He sings it beautifully. ❤. from the 🇨🇦 Grammy
I just happened upon him today singing this. It’s one of,if not the best, male version I’ve heard!! This is awesome. I’ve listened to it over and over today!! Beautiful! I don’t get chills very often listening to a lot of singers but this one is an exception!!!Love your reaction as always. ❤
The beginning is so haunting, goosebumps all over every time I listen to it. You should check out the cover he did with Dan Vasc of Breaking the Silence. You might need to fix a seat belt to your chair first.
Hi Brad 😊! Dan, Tommy and Erik are my favourite artists on YT. This cover is a beautiful tribute. As a male vocalist, Erik did a fantastic job capturing this vocally very difficult song. I also really liked Hugo's saxophone playing. Thank you for your very lovely and epic reaction. ❤ I saw your reaction to Erik and Tommy Sabaton's cover. I liked it. Maybe you could do a reaction video to Erik and Dan's collaboration? 😍🤗
@@user-gc1cp1xp5i I grew up with Sebastian and Skid Row, but this is just on another level and Sebastian isn't even in the ballpark anymore unfortunately.
Heart-rending beautiful. I'm gonna dig a lot deeper into Eric. Love the video style (ala Dan Vasc) because his voice is the focus! and what a voice it is.
I have always loved this song but frankly, it was way overplayed and got a little boring. Erik has breathed new life into it and it's now my favorite version. I also loved the saxophone solo. Thanks for this. Have you listened to Erik and Dan Vasc collaborate on an epic version of Breaking the Silence?
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. He had also done a Johnny Cash cover god will cut you down. I promise that you won't be disappointed.
To the maker of this video I have a request. Here is my request: Could you please do a comparison video of who sang it best between Erik Gronwall singing his cover version of I will always love you live Streamed on Apr 19, 2024 versus Judika also singing his cover version of I will always love you Live at a wedding at Balai Samudera on December 21, 2017. In this video after listening to both performaces one after the other i would love for you to share your opinion as to which of these two singers sang this song the best and why( Judika or Erik Gronwall).This should be a showstopper.
Please know, that song was written by Dolly Parton and preformed in the movie "the best little where house in texas" staring Dolly and Burt Reynolds. You should check out her version even if you don't like "country" music.
I was only listening for a minute, wasn’t watching. I honestly thought you were playing Whitney Houston singing to compare to Erik’s singing. Wow….. he’s got some pipes!
the original by Whitney Houston...errr. except that was not the original, originally it was written and sang by Dolly Parton. none the less. Whitney killed it. as did Eric now.

Well said!
didn't even go one freaking semitone down from the original. He's got some mighty range.
The original that was wrote and performed it was Dolly Parton. Just wanted to make that correction.
Didn`t you read my comment 8 days before you?
@@RB_2Y
No I did not.
I think this is the best performance he ever did. I am speechless.
He can belt E5 and sustain it in 18 And Life, what did you expect ❤
I don't think there is a word in any language that can describe what I just heard. Absolutely stunning. That's all I got.
One of the most beautiful renditions I have ever heard. I'm amazed and speechless.
The a capella beginning is magnificent. The glory notes are spectacular. This is so stunning. Erik is amazing.
Erik said the getting the timing for the acapella at the beginning was challenging, but damn it nailed it
This is so beautifull I got goosebumps from it. But don't forget the saxophonist, he also did a phenomenal job.Thanks for your great reaction❣
He is incredible...Skid Row are going to miss him so much....i love it when you get blown away by an artist.
On Breaking The Silence with Dan Vasc, his voice is excellent
That’s where I first heard Erik. With Dan. Erik, Dan and Tommy Johansson should start a band. Lolol

Yes we surely have some great singers here in Sweden 🇸🇪 Erik and Tommy is the best of the best 💥🎶🎤
I agree 100%!
Thank you so much. They're some of the best in the world
Your initial reaction is my reaction every single time I hear him sing. He’s brilliant ❤❤❤
Eric and Tommy is easly the best musicans that Sweden got to offer at current time.
😱😱😱😱helt fantastiskt underbart han är grym 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪vann idol 2009 å varit sjuk i cancer 💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you! Erik is amazing and ballsy, too. Tingles all over!
Erik says, the acapella part was the hardest for him. The end was easy, as he do this every time. Greetings from Hamburg Germany.
Erik must have watched Dan do My Heart Will Go On then said "hold my beer"

I don’t think this guy ever runs out of air. He is the most magnificent fantastic singer. I’ve heard I’ve just love this video. Thank you.❤❤❤😊
Skid Row is gonna hate losing him because he obviously can keep up with Sebastián Bach . This guy is incredible.
Wow, Erik is fantastic. I only discovered him recently and can't get enough of him. 🙏🔥🔥🔥
me too
It's now an entirely new song, and he just owns it. Not often you hear something groundbreaking, but this is it!❤❤❤
I just happened upon him today singing this. It’s one of,if not the best, male version I’ve heard!! This is awesome. I’ve listened to it over and over today!! Beautiful! I don’t get chills very often listening to a lot of singers but this one is an exception!!!Love your reaction as always. ❤
What a voice from Erik Grönwall, beautiful.
Thank you for your response to this cover.
The beginning is so haunting, goosebumps all over every time I listen to it.
You should check out the cover he did with Dan Vasc of Breaking the Silence. You might need to fix a seat belt to your chair first.
One of the best version Iv'e ever heard. For sure the best male singer version ever!
Oh my….goosebumps…I am new to Eric… damn. Brother you blew it out of the roof…. Insane.. God bless you and your health ❤️🩹
This song is going to sky rocket you to the top. Goosebumps all the way. No words can be said to how Beautiful this was😂❤
Maybe when Dolly does her next Rock album Erik and her could sing this song for it. I am sure Dolly would love to
Thx again for your reaction. Erik Grönwall won Swedish idol 2009. Great voice
You got your Tommy face on while listening to Erik, you really love us Swedes don’t you😉😍. Loved your reaction as always ❤️
I love Eriks voice, its absolutely amazing ❤❤❤
Love your reaction as usual 🤘
I think no I know this is the very best version of this iconic song.he is the most amazing singer. Such a talent.
Amazing best male version I have heard ❤

Listen to this all Sebastian Bach fans……this is the real deal…..WOW🎶🤘
One person’s talent doesn’t take away from another’s. Sebastian also has a golden voice.
Yes in the 80s, I am a 64 old bastard, I am just look forward....Eric is GREAT !
Yes and Sebastian does not have a voice even remotely close to this anymore.
@@user-gc1cp1xp5i I grew up with Sebastian and Skid Row, but this is just on another level and Sebastian isn't even in the ballpark anymore unfortunately.
@@shellybean9 This doesn’t have anything to do with Sebastian Bach OR Skid Row.
Wow just wow so love he threw some rock in there. Best redo I've ever heard.
What a showstopper this is❤
What a wonderful talent this guy has !!!!!!❤❤
Wonderfully.🥰 (Erik won Idol -09.)
Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
Heart-rending beautiful. I'm gonna dig a lot deeper into Eric. Love the video style (ala Dan Vasc) because his voice is the focus! and what a voice it is.

Holy guacomole! I'm glad your channel popped up on my feed, thanks for introducing me to Erik! Stunning voice! And love your reactions.

Haha! I thought the EXACT same thing!😂
That’s not Victor too on the keyboard, is it? I don’t see a head.🤔😂
Delighted that you both understood and agreed - 🤓
WOW!!
Dolly Parton has written and originally recorded it in 1973, long before Whitney Huston.

the Original was done by Dolly Parton, she wrote it for her soon to be ex and performed it on his show
Wow 🥰👏
This is a cover of Dolly Parton's song. She w rote it for her mentor Porter Wagoner.
The original is actually by Dolly Parton. :)
Please know, that song was written by Dolly Parton and preformed in the movie "the best little where house in texas" staring Dolly and Burt Reynolds. You should check out her version even if you don't like "country" music.
Dolly Parton performed that song in the movie Best Little Whore House In Texas, it was written and originally performed by her.
Big cred to Erik, but he cant reach Tommy to his knees🤸♀️ well done Erik💪
Excellent 💙
I was only listening for a minute, wasn’t watching. I honestly thought you were playing Whitney Houston singing to compare to Erik’s singing. Wow….. he’s got some pipes!
This is awesome
Hold on a minute dude I'm 56. Why shouldn't I be watching this? Thank you for your answer have a blessed day
Pretty, pretty, pretty good 👌
You should react to Chris Kläfford another great swedish vocalist
Oh my god❤️
I have been waiting for you to react to BM.
Original by Whitney?? I believe Whitney covered Dolly Parton
The original isn't by Whitney Huston, it's made by Dolly Parton! And even heard Whitney Huston sing it in the movie Bodyguard!!!
The oriigínal was Dolly Parton who wrote it
Dream. on. ERIK GRÖNVALL LOOK....
🤘👏👏👏
Actually it came out for the soundtrack for "The best little whorehouse in Texas" written by Dolly Parton about 50 years ago lol.
I hope Dolly Parton sees this some day.
React to Fetish with Halford =) peace brother
100% better than the original!!!
Love this, but wasn't Dolly Parton before Whitney?
Yes,... Dolly Parton has written and originally recorded it in 1973.
the original by Whitney Houston...errr. except that was not the original, originally it was written and sang by Dolly Parton.
none the less. Whitney killed it. as did Eric now.
Im so sorry - but the original is DOLLY PARTON! That aside - Erik kicks Whitneys as (RIP).
If ya haven't heard this song before, you are a caveperson.
Just saying, some songs it's just not possible to not have been heard.
Original Dolly Parton.🙄
