That guy also has an amazing story. Won Swedish idol in 2009. Auditioned with 18 and Life with Skid Row and won it all. He was singer after that in the swedish hardrock band Heat. During that time he played a role in Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway with John Legend and Alice Cooper. A couple of years ago he left Heat and wanted to do something else in his Life but became sick in leukemia. He battled the dieses and came out as a winner. Then his favorit band Skid row contacted him and he became a member. They released an album and tour the world. Erik left skid row a couple of months ago due to his immune system has been weak after the sickness. He felt he couldnt hold the band back whenever he became cold and sick when they toured. 😊

When I heard that this was a rock version of "I Will Always Love You", I kept waiting for the beat to drop and for the craziness to start. Instead, it stayed sweet for a while and then he broke out the power rock voice. And he did the key change so beautifully. This is one of the most awesome performances I have ever heard.

If you wanna hear another swede with a great voice, do Tommy johansson. Ex-lead guitarist from Sabaton. He drops a new cover every friday. He has even done one with Eric. Try Shes gone.

I would say, most rock and metal singers have an extremely good vocal control and vocal ability. They can sing anything, high and low, and it doesn't sound stupidly flat as when pop artists try to sing power metal. Erik Grönwall is epicly good.

Erik became famous winning Swedish Idol 2009 . Then he was a lead vocalist of the band HEAT. Then he got sick of leukaemia and survived it. Skid Row actively recruited him as a lead vocalist in 2022 and recorded a great album with him called The Gang’s All Here , their best since Slave to the grind. He left Skid Row because his health was still fragile from the cancer despite he is cancer free. Heavy touring exhausted him. He is taking it slow now doing covers.

FYI guys, Whitney Houston’s version is a cover. The song was already about 18 years old when she recorded it. It was originally written and recorded by Dolly Parton in the 1970s. In fact Elvis wanted to cover it but his manager insisted that he get a writing credit. Dolly said no way. Elvis did not write any of his songs but his manager got him writing credit on several of them. The song writer would agree because they figured that if Elvis sang their song it might be a hit.

In older rock/metal (70's/80's) it wasn't to unusual for the singers to go really high, like for example Ronnie James Dio from Rainbow and Dio (and a stint in Black Sabbath) or Rob Halford from Judas Priest.

The sound in the room you speak in sounds like it looks like. It echoes since you have nothing on the walls and no furniture. You should fix that for a better sound.
