First Time Hearing Mary Did You Know - Tara Simon x Erik Grönwall

[@ElisabethÅkerbergNilsson]

Thanks for a great reaction! I am a huge Erik fan!❤️❤️❤️ Both he and Tara make this stunningly good! And they sing with conviction and warmth! Erik is from Sweden. Has been in a band called H.E.A.T. Has battled leukemia. Been lead singer in Skidrow. Nowadays he works on different covers - always makes them his and put his id on them- and he never diappoints!! On the contrary!! He is masterclass with SUCH a wide range in his voice! He works together with Jona. A dream team! 🙌🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙌🏻 I wish You a Happy New Year! ❤️🎉

I'm obsessed with this since I first heard it last week. Absolutely stunning.

Thank you SO much for doing this reaction, Matt! I was so busy the day that it popped up on KZbin, that I put off watching it for two more days. Then I was hugely sorry that I had, because...WOW!!! I hadn't heard of Tara before, and didn't know anything about her at all, when I started listening. Now I know that she's a vocal coach (I can certainly see and hear why!!!), AND a music reactor (I can certainly understand that, as well!!!). She and Erik did such an amazing job with this song. Their blend! Oh my! I think I've mentioned before that what I look for in music (especially when it's at all metalized) is harmonics that don't make me want to throw things at the singers, but instead make me want to MELT! When these two were singing together, that's where I was, and when Tara kept climbing those range heights, I felt like I was already IN Heaven! I've listened to it a ton of times since that first viewing (mostly in the reactions of others, but a few times on my own, because I just have to). The anointing does not falter! Hallelujah! I haven't had the time since then to go to Tara's channel and check out other things, but I will after the New Year hits. Again, thank you VERY much for your wonderful reaction. Two more days until 2025! Happy Almost New Year, Matt, to you and your wife and son, as well. GRANDMA HUGS!

Erik has one of the best voices I've heard in years. I haven't heard a dud on his channel yet.

Hi! They are amazing, i love this version ❤️🙏🏻🤩 I am a big Erik fan

[@NinJenna]

Perfection is right! This was gorgeous! Great reaction brother!

[@rosalthasevener1997]

I love your channel!! 🥰So glad you're discovering Erik Gronwall as he is a treasure!! Esp when you realize he was diagnosed with leukemia while performing as lead singer for Skid Row. He had a bone marrow transplant and is obviously embracing life and the second chance God has given him, and his fans are so grateful 🥹💗 God definitely has a plan for this talented young man who is also an amazing father & partner. Thank you for showcasing him and the gorgeous Tara Simon 😍

This is such an amazing performance! Lol. I sent this one in as well. Thank you for sending it, Grandma. And Matt for reacting. They are both amazing artists

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Tricia! I beat you on a request for once??? WOW! (grin) I will probably watch this song with Tara and Erik year-round, now, as I do all of Dan Vasc's Christmas songs already.

[@takingtimewithtricia]

@GrandmasGotGraceLW lol. I listen to a lot of Christmas songs all year long. This one and his O Holy Night are now added. Yep, I listen to Dan's Christmas songs all year long, too. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does that. Many blessings to you ma'am. ❤️

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

​@@takingtimewithtricia I kind of figured that. 😀 Dan's versions aren't the only ones I listen to a lot, either. There are a lot of them that just come up in my spirit, and I either listen to them here or elsewhere, or just sing them myself. Many blessings back to you, sweet lady. ♥🥰
