FIRST TIME Hearing Him… Wow!! | Circle of Life - Tommy Johansson | Reaction/Analysis 

Thank you for a great reaction. Tommy Johansson is a singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist from Sweden. His day job is being one of the lead guitarists for very popular metal band Sabaton (also from Sweden) who sing about history of war, but without glorifying war itself or taking sides. He also has his own band Majestica and his RU-vid channel where he does these awesome covers. He is extremely talented singer and musician with fantastic vocal range. My recommendations: Sabaton song Christmas Truce, Majestica song Above The Sky and Tommy's covers She's Gone, Phantom Of The Opera (he sings BOTH roles) and Bohemian Rhapsody

Tommy is Swedish and is part of the band Sabaton and Majestica. He started singing at 15. His vocal range is F2 - C6 (3 octaves, 6 semitones). Great reaction Mortius

Oh Yea!!!! We love Tommy! He is multi talented playing MANY instruments and epic vocals! And don't be freaked out by the end of his videos, most of the time he does some funny expressions that just top the video off with his great personality! Keep watching, we'll be here and he deserves many more people to be introduced to him! He puts out a new video every Friday noon (Swedish time). My requests are always...The Light, and Over the Hills and Far Away, and Who Wants to live forever. But his cover of She's Gone probably shows off his vocals best! ❤

Oh you have been introduced to the Swedish national treasure called Tommy. You need to listen to more of his covers. He is really good.

A rare Tommy Johansson one where he doesn´t go high lol. Ab5 is almost comfort zone in those, C6 his highest (him as Christine in Phantom of The Opera). And mixed voice!

This is Tommy, he doesn't just cover, he conjures up a work of art, every single song is incredible ...that's what makes him so special🙂😉🫶

Great reaction! Tommy also made amazing covers of "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Who wants to live forever" and "The show must go on" by Queen. He's one of few that makes a worthy Queen cover! 😉🤘 His cover of "Phantom of the Opera" is another jaw dropping masterpiece. 😃 Not to mention You raise me up" (1 octave challenge!!) Greetings from Sweden!🇸🇪

Wow Mortius! Next to VoicePlay and Geoff, Tommy is my favourite artist. So proud of my countryman and his accomplishments. I'd long wished for you to discover his amazing talents. Thanks Kevin S for introducing him. You just listen to him singing the duet from Phantom of the Opera, BOTH parts.

Oh Mortius, I have been watching your reactions for years now and never ever expected you jump onto my favourite favourite singers musician of all time. There is so much for you to explore with Tommy Johansson, Swedens multitalented musician. Tommy is one of the guitarist of the metal band Sabaton, has his own band Majestica and feeds his RU-vid channel with covers every Friday.Tommy plays guitar, bass keyboard, piano the flute, accordion, drums.... He is one of the most talented and hard working people I know. He has a cover of the phantom of the opera where he sings both voices. Please please explore Tommy's music and you will not regret it. My suggestions: the phantom of the opera , you raise me up ( one octave challenge) , his Queen covers who wants to live forever, Bohemian rhapsody and so much more. You will enjoy this journey. I promise ❤

What a great singer! What a great reaction! I hope we see more of him!

He is from a group called “ Sabaton” and they are a group that sing songs about the history of war.

You seem like a really fun and happy-go-lucky guy! Still - you made a more serious and thought through examine of the song, than many reactors! I enjoyed watching it! 😀

You need more Tommy on your channel! She’s Gone, Phantom of the Opera, You Raise Me Up (one octave challenge). Pick any and all! He and Dan Vasc are my favorite metal singers who do covers.

Ooh..you have no ide how little you have scratched on this guys talent. He do amazing covers alone and originals with his band Majestica. I suggest you start with his stunning cover of " She`s gone" by Steelheart. 🎸🎹🤘Cheers from Sweden🍻

If you enjoyed that you will like this one it's called you raise me up ( 1 octave challenge) he can sing. Another good one is his phantom of the opera as well @Mortius ull love them

Welcome to the Tommy rabbit hole.....and any other rabbit hole connected to him, and belive me there are many. 😆😍

This was really great .. I have wished that someone would delve into Tommy’s vocals for a long time 😀 .. Even if he really doesn’t flex his vocal chords that much in this song I so appreciate it because it is a rare occasion when he stays in his lower register and let that shine😉 You asked about Tommy’s musical background .. this is what I know about it Tommy comes from a small city in the very north of Sweden. Choirs are a a big part of musical life in Sweden so I’m very sure that Tommy has participated in such at least during school years (he also loves Christmas and chrismas music and have covered Angels we have .., holy night .. and released a chrismas album that is a power metal musical just waiting to happened) Tommy started playing guitar at 9 after his father introduced him to Gary Moore and decided to become a singer after hearing the end of skidrows 18 and a life on the radio when he was 15. Soon after he learned to play keyboard and drums to be able to creat his own music. He seems to really like musical theater ( and Disney) one of his first vocal goals at 15 was to learn “anthem” from the musical Chess and perform in front of the entire school (which he did) When starting a band in Sweden as a boy in a small place it is usually a hard rock or heavy metal band) Tommy started a power metal band .. with symphonic influences … usually the most melodic and happy metal you will be able to find 😀 . He has released 6 studio albums under the name reinxeed ( one of them a concept album of the sinking of the titanic) and two albums under the name Majestica ( on of them a Christmas album based on the story of Scrooge called “a Christmas Carol” ..written as a to be able to be performed as a musical) And he is very much into movie score music .. if I remember correctly he has said in interview that one of his favourite album is the movie score to Hook. .. and his done his own version of Rocky movie score music (training montage) on his channel .. but of course he likes metal: Iron Maiden, halloween, Stradivarius has all been big influences too.

I’ve admittedly only seen a handful of Tommy’s videos so far but everything I’ve seen so far has been awesome. It was a lovely surprise to see you react to him, I hope you react to some more of his work!

Would love to see your reaction to is one octave challenge of You raise me up!

He did You Raise Me Up an octave higher than Josh Grobin. It will blow your mind. You need to check out his other material too. He can sing anything.

Check out Tommy’s cover of She’s Gone (Steelheart). It’ll blow you away!! 🔥😱

Way to go, Kevin! Team Tommy, checking in from the California desert to thank you for checking out Tommy's music! Its a shame you limit yourself to music you are paid to listen to...this man is a phenomenal talent! Curious...why would I want to subscrube, if my comments or suggestions would never be considered, despite years of promoting artists on YT...I can't pay you. Really a shame. But, should you check out more of Tommy's music, I'll be around. No one can only hear one Tommy song!

Tommy is a force of nature! I absolutely adore his singing and his guitar shredding! He is the most adorable man on earth and a genuine sweetheart! 😊😊

Please give us more Tommy!

You should react to Tommy Johansson - You raise me up ( 1 octive challenge) to get a feel for his range! :)

Tommy is amazing!! You absolutely need to see his " natural habitat" as it were, Sabaton. His first language is Swedish, so he over emphasizes the enunciation often. He does Scar, also, Be Prepared. Tommy is just great! Good reaction, Mortius. Oh, also, when you watch Sabaton, make sure you stay through the credits. They describe the battles from both perspectives. And it's historically accurate.

Love this kind of reaction where you really analyse what you hear. Tommy’s voice is one of the best I know of and it has such power (and as power metal is his thing it suits very well) and with Majestica’s they have done a xmas album A Christmas Carol that could be seen as a power metal xmas musical and his voice (and the other member’s) are perfect for that delivery. Highly recommend a listening before/during the holidays. He is known for crazy high note but I’m glad you got into the lover register first so you can move upwards :-) I think he can make any song into a power/epic metal version and you will headband along with it.

Thank you❤ Tommy is amazing ❤ please more Tommy ❤❤❤❤

More Tommy please. That's incredible what he doing. He is a guitarist of a great Swedish metal band Sabaton. And Tommy has own project called Majestica. Above the sky is a masterpiece album. Check it. Amazing.

Ok , that was good . really good . Let´s do more Tommy ... PLease

Please do more Tommy, he will suprise you many times over. 👍 Excellent reaction, subscribing with hope for more Tommy.

Tommy Johansson - she's gone (steelheart cover).. Just listen...

Great reaction truly enjoyed it.please do more of Tommy he is so good

I think you would love his version of the Phantom of the Opera.

Thank you for your reaction. I have heard Tommy sing a few times, but with a much highrer voice. I am delighted bybhis version of this song .

His rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody is out of this world. Never thought I'd hear someone cover it this well. Not Queen, but just as good. If you want to listen to his band Sabaton, which he has since left, try En Livstid i Krig ( the Swedish version with English subtitles ,performed in Gothenburg as part of the Great Tour). A powerful and moving moment.

Fantastic choice! Tommy is incredible! Please keep reacting to him! He’s covered Steelheart, delivering mind blowing power in his vocals, all the way down to the spice girls! Yes, he covered the spice girls, giving it a new rock style! His Katy Perry cover is also phenomenal.

Amazing Tommy ❤❤❤❤ thank you

Great reaction!!!!! Not gonna say anymore than has already been said in the comments. Tommy is phenomenal. Check out his version of Phantom of the Opera, She’s Gone or You Raise Me Up (one octave challenge). You won’t be disappointed!!!!!

Congrats to have found the best cover artist on YT. This man is a brilliant genius, he plays like 10 instruments and sings like a god. you aint heard anything yet. Try You raise me up, Phantom of the opera or Shes gone then you will hear his full capacity. Good reaction, guess you are a singer or voice coach.

Tommy johansson in a great trip for some reactions video....and some brains😅

I was so happy to see you react to something by Tommy Johansson! I really hope you'll check out his cover of The Phantom of the Opera at some point. It's absolutely insane!

Great reaction. Tommy’s version was fascinating. Loved the whole experience..

That is how we learned to sing in the '70s T We should open up the sound in Sweden. He is a one-off of the third wave of singers in Sweden

Waiting to see Shoky Gang members flocking here to see this. We've been on the Tommy train for a couple years now. He's amazing.

Remember this is his second language. To be able to enunciate how he does is a master class in how to use your voice as a musical instrument. Rock on Tommy🕊️❤️🕊️👍

Interesting reaction, thank you! Please do Tommy's rendition of She's Gone.

Isn't it fun to be surprised? Tommy is an amazing singer, his covers are up there with Dan Vasc's. Another artist to check out with covers is Erik Gronwall, he has a great voice too. Another fun and interesting reaction, I subscribed 😊

With every song you will love him more❤

Please do more covers from Tommy Johansson 😀 We are a lot of people who loves his covers and his own songs ❤️

Tommy drops a new cover every friday. Its friday tomorrow. 😉

It’s in metal u find the best…❤

Tommy is an exceptional talent. I would like a reaction from Tommy's You Raise Me Up, it's amazing. By the way, I love your reactions :)

Your reactions are great!

Dude, I freaking love you. Never change.

Great commentary, good analyzation. You just got a new sub

Listen to Tommys cover of Phantom of the opera! Absolutely amazing!!

You must react to his Circle of Life - One Octave Challenge... this guy will blow your mind!

Tommy is the greatest dude ever. He has no equal.

Its so fun to watch you, guys! Aĺl of you fall in love with him! But we girls love him too! ❤😊

Why have you not done a follow up reaction to another Tommy Johansson song? He majorly geld backin his cover of The Circle of Life. You need to listen to his Abba covers (The Winner Takes it All, Lay All Your Love On Me, etc) or his Ave Maria cover. There are so many covers that he does that blow this one out of the water. You haven't really experienced Tommy till you react to one of those songs. Aside from this suggestion, I loved your reaction to his voice, but believe me, you aint heard nothing yet!

If you liked this you must hear Tommy sing Fantom of the opera. I say wow to that one 💖💖💖

such a very god reaktion! First time listening to Mortius

My new #1 musician, vocalist, composer in this new age 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉vintage KAT 🐾 THX your opinion critic is spot on. You hear what I hear!!!! Truly Gifted🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 instant subscribe to your channel❤

Me : No way you never react to him Me after check the channel : What the heck ??!!! Why ???

You have to litsten when he sings Abbas the winner takes it all, queen and phantom of the opera and more and more.

Please please please do more Tommy reactions. I think you'd love Phantom of the Opera. However, there's too many great ones to choose. You Raise me Up. Winner Takes it All. She's Gone. Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh Holy Night. Those are all some of my favorites, but all of them are good. Well, 'good' is an understatement.

Tommy is just tommy. Nobody knows why he is insanely good like that

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'd recommend his cover of you raise me up one octave challenge

Visually, Tommy reminds me so much of the late, great Meatloaf, but with a much smoother voice. That is a very powerful tenor belt!

Metal. That’s what you hear. Muted power symphonic metal. Watch a Sabaton video. I’m not in your level, but you’d only be denying yourself. 1916

People like me, who listen with headphones, don't appreciate a high-volume speaking man. You're good, though. 🎧💥🤯🧐

Well whem are u doin another Tommy reaction video ? Please do you raise me up

I dont know if you know about Nightwish ,a epic band ,female fronted,also a rabbithole to go😊

It's nice voice but listen on one group called PROJECT AEGIS SINGS IS AND THE REST IS MYSTERY THIS VOICE IS WOOOO WOOOOW ITS THE BEST I HEART A LOTS VOICES ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤

Not a patrion. but you shoud check out more Tommy covers. He is amazing

React Hurt - Gabriel Henrique (Cover Christina Aguilera)

For a good laugh, watch his cover of White Christmas from December 2022. He's impersonating several voices from Willie Nelson to Mariah Carey. Hard to believe? Listen and decide! LoL

I think you got a bit Tommyfied! hihi. He also done the video himself, both Filmed and edited the hole thing. You cant o wrong shosing a song from him! Also do some of "Sabatons" songs they are amazing. Sabaton also started a hardrock festival in Falun in Dalarna (Where I come from and know live about 40 kilometre from that!) and they alwayes play the last set during that. Its many different hardrock artists there playing from al the world. I think it started with 2 or 3 dayes with 2 stages I think to know be 3 stages and more dayes! I whis I could afford to go on one of them becouse there are so dam good artist there. Sadley I cant do to I have Disability pension. So I cant afford the tickets. Almost everyone also have tents with them and sleep there. This is a place called "Lungnet" and there are many many differt sports you can do in outher timmes! This is outside in a place there Ski competitions is in the winter!

I think Swedes pronounce English words very clearly. E.g. ABBA.

Please please react to his 'You rise me up (one octave challenge)! I promise i will subscribe if yoy do ;D. You really appreciate and analyse this, i like that!

Thanks mortius, he looks like a big bad rocker singer...

Why on earth would you choose this as your first reaction to a Power Metal singer????

Shame on you. 4 month later and you still havnt done anymore Tommy reactions. 🤔

good but stop babbling every second

And who in hell could know what you mean blabbering, interupting ALL THE TIME.... Fore god sake LISTEN first and then.....analyse...you play 10-15 sec and then blablabblabla 20-30sec...you totaly destroy all of his greatness with all that bs blablablabla

Stop stopping the video all the time, talk about the video when its over bro!!🤬
