High quality audio and video
Winner of Swedish Idol 2010.
Scandinavium Göteborg 3 december 2010

[@craigshafer4244]

It is my opinion, that Jay Smith is the most talented performer to ever win Idol, in any country. Not to sound obnoxious, but I have a very discerning ear and the way he masters performances from Madonna, to Phil Collins, to Metallica, and even performances he has on Facebook are proof of his depth, range, ability to play and sing (easier said than done). He has an amazing stage presence. I wish one day they would have an international Idol (bring it back once in the US), and have a competition amongst all winners collectively. I truly believe Jay Smith would be the winner, and I hope it comes to fruition.

[@fredrikandersson9031]

This was 2009

[@Ozraevun]

Jay Smith and Erik Grönvall are the best ones in my opinion, but those are only the winners, Danny Saucedo is awesome and so were Calle Kristiansson! :)

[@themetal3479]

say he's talented but he skipped the whole solo sounds like he's a pussy

[@alexz2702]

He's wearing fingerless gloves come on bro. Get real.

[@tristanbrand4064]

Craig Shafer What do you think of In the getto, from Elvis, that was amazing

[@murdanauf]

only in Scandinavia you could win with a metal song. Huge respect!

[@elias8864]

Well not anymore every one says that this music is bad :()

[@Darksoul660]

lol "everyone"

[@lukeglanton4901]

So true, and so sad...

[@leog6258]

Dark_6 almost Everyone :(((

[@johandi1948]

Yes it's true

[@ToveriJuri]

Welcome to the Nordic Countries. Even our bullshit pop shows are metal.

[@ShadowlordDio]

+Toveri Juri thank Nordic Gods for that. and i am from another hemisphere of the planet and i thank those countries exists!!!

[@theworld8408]

I'm fuckin moving house to Sweden

[@tinasjostrand2677]

🤣🤣 we rule!

[@gamerN77]

You Sweeds just know what good music is!

[@ediable8309]

*Swedes :P

[@badaim.4524]

overTIMe HALLELUJA!!!

[@oscarthorvaldsson1620]

overTIMe Thanks!

[@lukemadman4560]

It sucks nowadays, now there is something called "orten rap"

[@vio-lence7267]

Luke Madman ahh yes the famous orten rap

[@nestortomaselli5648]

Thank GOD for Sweden being actually open to music and real talent, confidence and energy. Not the same re-hashed pop and rap heard in the mainstream, ROCK ON!

[@Merecir]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but at any time approx 25% of the main stream music on the top ten list have been written and/or produced by Swedes.

[@Atmkthndr]

Merecir Maybe cause they're unsuccessful in Sweden?

[@Merecir]

Yann Negri Swedens top lists looks very similar to the US top list, just replace the rap and country with songs in Swedish.

[@MichaelBirks]

nestor tomaselli Like Stongbad says, Scandinavia is the only place where death metal will still get you chicks.

[@isac9838]

not anymore tho

[@Elvathar]

Idol 2009 och 2010 var bästa någonsin, så jävla mycket rock!

[@ricardotito9756]

Swedish Idol is another level !!!

[@Suriner1]

That voice...

[@DaisyEpicness]

Why can't we have music like this in America?? i mean, its not quite like the original, of course, but this is still awesome!

[@Kiwi_Tea]

Yeah they have to cut it to a certain length, so I guess they pick out the best bits and mash 'em

[@Kiwi_Tea]

***** Actually he put more growl into it than James does. Sounded fine to me and I've been a Metallica fan for decades

[@FAFYWARRIOR]

Jen Dowie I think he`s actually holding back on the growl....

[@UsernameHere63]

DaisyEpicness Sweeden doesnt have pop as much as us, in fact most eroupean countries favor rock over any other genre

[@DanThaWolf]

Mike Quinn at least this is better than pop in nz pop is way over played on radio and its very annoying

[@jay-rreyes1808]

Why in the name of Metal Gods did they put those dancers?

[@masonmckenzie7635]

+Jay-R Reyes In case someone there didn't have a brain

[@SadisticStang]

+Jay-R Reyes Ah I think I know what's happened. The studio people don't know their Metallica. They thought this was Until it Sleeps.

[@fluckoloc]

+Jay-R Reyes hahah in the name od Metal Gods!!! fucking good one man!

[@rebbodenso]

+Jay-R Reyes first of all, this was in 2010, and its swedes that were talking about.

[@mtus647]

+Jay-R Reyes Because Mastodon.

[@MrTiku29]

I thought Thor had a hammer! That is one HELLLLLL of a Viking in the 21st century! LOVE it

[@milkyjoemoto]

Sweden seems like my kinda country

[@bellmeisterful]

Hell ya me too

[@OfficialRonnySilence]

Damn right it is! Have you listened to the bands "In Flames" or "Avatar"?

[@watsnat]

Also Iron Fire!

[@ironwill9824]

Wait till you see the amount of muslims

[@svenne3003]

Jävla rasist

[@ZeezoRockout]

HELL YEAH!!!!! now here's a real winner!

[@Kiwi_Tea]

Finally! A country that knows their shit! THIS is what should win all round the world, IMO

[@amandalaci8212]

So true!!

[@faithdelaet500]

Finally someone who is worth it to cover a song from Metallica and doesn't ruin their song xD

[@CraftedImaginationMC]

Hi from Greece ! And glad to see that people there still know what music is !

[@blazejecar]

gotta move to sweden....

[@edwinberbey9719]

YESSS MANNNN

[@shaunmasterton7072]

Ha ha , he looks like If James Hetfield and Kurt cobain had a Swedish kid.

[@mmarsoul]

lol, I thought the same thing😂

[@svaenggunnar6627]

Ha ha😂

[@marcussaucedo6019]

Haha wow

[@TheVanezi]

Basically Chad Kroeger.

[@JoannaSvensson]

He looks simply sweed ;)

[@coolsachin2737]

Damn! I’m blown away by his stage presence and his talent. Amazing. What a strong voice

[@angelicaholmgren3086]

I. Have. Goosebumps. SERIOUSLY he is so good

[@LateralHalo]

Man, Sweden has a better taste in music then at the U.S.

[@jesperhedenqvist922]

bro look at all the metal bands we made. Rock on bro!

[@KaiMarcad]

Metal bands per capita in the world. i.imgur.com/P5Yfz.png It's good to live here up north \,,/ (>.

[@BluefoxOutdoor]

Okay, he has fucking dancers for some reason and screwed the lyrics up at one time, but he's born to be on stage :D I rate this 9,9/10

[@holymorgan]

+BewbsAreAzum He said later that he blacked out while singing, because of the pressure. Thats why he messed the lyrics up.

[@BluefoxOutdoor]

asshat I don't blame him.

[@valtersvagotins-vagulis1422]

+BewbsAreAzum I'd give it a solid 5/7

[@SirGeforce]

+Valters Vagotiņš- Vagulis Good reference. Take my like.

[@butwhy1234]

When Jay was on idol in 2010 i was 10 yo... i loved him and i still do 7 years later. He is amazing and this kinds of voices always gets my attention.

[@babe8866]

SO THERES A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE CALLED SWEDEN WHERE A ROCK STAR CAN WIN A SINGING COMPETITION.

[@OfficialRonnySilence]

Yes, we even celebrate the Waffle Day.

[@TheAlienpope]

i have seen him and his band live a few times now and i can deffenetly say it is one of the most awesome times i've had!

[@1230kasienka]

he's the best, I'm in love with his voice!

[@Emma-dc1eq]

I miss this time. Now a days everything is about pop, you can't come in with a rock voice. I hate it.

[@JakeFTWBlue]

You still can, easy, you just need to have a good enough voice.

[@shivasharma6966]

Metal voice😑

[@iCubicable]

Long live Rock

[@angiesone893]

I'm in love with his deep and raspy voice

[@MindsetAlchemy]

He rocked it! I grew up listening to Metallica and he did a damn good job.

[@laineta9514]

Freaking Sweden.. I love this country

[@hampzu]

Beyond amazing. Why don't we hear more of you brother?!?! Please don't let your talent go down with the lines of charlie. Shape up and sing!

[@Maria-nl1lm]

Agree 🥰

[@clorox3468]

what a voice .. i love to hear more of this guy..

[@sultansofswing4057]

Damn.. feel like going to a concert already.. u rock dude

[@davidklys8077]

As a Swede, i feel very proud to the fact that Sweden is classified as a metal country! :)

[@adamaksoy4169]

Ja lite synd dock att det typ inte är då med den yngre generationen, man känner sig lite ensam ibland bland all ortenrapp

[@davidklys8077]

Adam Aksoy Aa exakt, ungjävlar 😂

[@adamaksoy4169]

David Klys typ😂 man går till skolan å hör massa skitmusik i deras jävla bluetooth högtalare. ”Kan ni inte spela lite slayer förfan!?”

[@davidklys8077]

Adam Aksoy Jo precis! Det är så det ska vara 🤘🏼

[@kanzakipinkfluo3118]

Stay Rock Jay! Standing ovation from Italy

[@agakowal4797]

Awsome performance. Great voice.

[@maureenwagg5305]

I f'n love this performance. I'm a metal head even now....especially now at 53. I do appreciate a good vocal and I believe there is none more kickass than metal vocals. Chills. If I don't get them, then you have lost my interest. Got to be chilling.

[@seriouscasualgamer9580]

you can still be a metal head even at 82 (proved by a grandpa who sang let the bodies hit the floor sur american's got talent)

[@maureenwagg5305]

Yep you can. Just check out the Wakken Open Air festival in Germany. There are a lot of old people, young people, babies, little kids. It is like a big family weekend over there. I'm listening to The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg (Iron Maiden for those who don't know). Brucie is still one of my faves.

[@seriouscasualgamer9580]

well i live in switzerland so why not check it out if i have the time during vacation or something

[@41point2]

OMG Sweden has the best "Idol" and "The Voice" rock singers. I got to get Swedish TV :)

[@desativadeee9932]

Muito bom . Amei a atitude e a voz dele♡

[@jasonritter2346]

Thank God Metal still lives in some Countries. time for TRUE Metal to come back to the States.

[@animecutie227]

oh my fuckin gawd! that was an absolute eargasm

[@wojti1721]

the best "come on" ive ever heard

[@TRAGADEDE]

love swedish...... you have alot of great musician.. i love in flames...

[@cleyvinmay709]

I love this Soo much 😍

[@Cinnabunsu]

Why can't we have this in America? :(

[@captaintaelos9203]

You read my mind bud.

[@Morzogen1]

our country is fucked, thats why lol.... we have justin beiber, taylor swift and a bunch of crock singers

[@4lchera]

Sweden is just the most badass country ever. Nothing beats Sweden.

[@MrJontelino]

4lchera Yeah and u know the swedish girls, they´re badass to!! listen to this gurl /watch?v=HKtNhX8kFcg a badass girl singing no woman no cry

[@screamfingers]

4lchera Except maybe for Finland.

[@vikingsfan1395]

God bless Sweden and their metal

[@imaginillyar3572]

Just excellent!

[@SebastianSierpe]

Many thanks Pascal for to upload this FANTASTIC "Enter Sandman" version!... this is my very first time to see and hear your post...GREAT JOB! ...greetings from Santiago, Chile.

[@mike9090ish]

Sweden Can we borrow some of your musicians? America is really lacking in that department

[@David123321]

haha well...

[@karldammann]

Excuse me, please go out and see some local fucking musicians instead of listening to fucking radio bullshit! There are literally thousands of great musicians trying to make it out there, we are NOT lacking. Top 40 music is what sells, it is not a reflection on the quality of our talent, it is a reflection on the majority of the countries shitty taste in music. If more people took the time to go out and support local bands, instead of buying whatever pop dog shit is put out you might know this!

[@David123321]

karldammann U Mad Bro?

[@karldammann]

David Bajen U 12 years old bro?

[@AnteHagstrom]

karldammann I bet you are 12..

[@Jack-to4sf]

För i helvete... Dansarna sabbar fan allt.

[@lukasjohansson852]

Bjov ja de måste få pengar på nåt sätt

[@massimilianomura9491]

Whow!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!

[@lexrox5101]

Awesome!!

[@alex6934210]

This is great!! I wish they'd do this stuff in america.

[@noahvi]

Looks at American Idol, Voice US etc. sees Adele and other shit idek Looks at Sweedish Idol, Voice Sweden etc. sees Metallica, Iron Maiden. Looks at American economy Looks at Swedish economy Looks at American pollution Looks at Swedish pollution Looks at American Healthcare Looks at Swedish Healthcare Looks at American Airlines Looks at Swedish Made Wallet Fuck

[@axattack82]

Noah Vieira looks at Swedish women:)?

[@tattooedclimber7209]

How many good bands come from Sweden though?

[@ljungan93]

Antony Walton Too many to list. :)

[@macheadg5er]

Erik Ljunggren and yet he is singing what song in the finale? from what band? That's what i thought. Next! lol

[@ljungan93]

MacHead G5er​ He's a hard rock/heavy metal singer. And he is singing one of the most well known metal songs of all time. That makes sense to me. And if you care enough to look it up you'll find that there are several amazing swedish bands. Mainly pop and rock/metal. I'll just say ABBA and leave it up to you if you're interested. TL;DR version. Sweden is awesome. ABBA.

[@ale_hetfield_cobain_4445]

Love this cover

[@hanalorena8992]

Perfeição 😍

[@zerothehero123]

Only in Sweden. They appreciate good metal \,,/!

This is the time when you are proud off being a swed, but Jesus Christ why the godamn dancers?

[@ZeryArtzTM]

Yeah im swede xD I think the dancers ruin the metal feeling u know brah :)

[@osmiloe2776]

yah

[@scottwarren4998]

must have been fucking embarrasing to be one of those dancers, dancing whores to a crowd that big plus its on tv

[@isalopcijb]

I want my kids to grow up in Sweden xD Lol, 35 likes (that is a lot for me). I guess a girl from Colombia 🇨🇴 is not alone 🤟🏼.

[@vanhakaveri]

+Isabella López Cifuentes You don't, trust me.

[@stan3951]

many mams from africa want it to

[@lethayle3388]

In other words you want your kids to be victims of rape and degeneration?

[@isalopcijb]

LeThayle believe me, if I raise them in Colombia (where I am from btw) they are not only potential victims from that (in an increased rate) but also way more violence, poor educational system, poor heatlh care system, way more corrupt government. Dont get me wrong, I love Colombia and our more close to nature and all that but here we have way too much violence.

[@isalopcijb]

diascrive yeah well if you live in a city here in Colombia you are stuck in an apartment as well. I guess in Sweden you may pay more taxes but at least you get to see the results of paying those, here the corruption is soooooo deep in everything that its really frustrating. I rather pay more taxes knowing that My government really works haha 😅.

[@vanmaladin6585]

wow!!! nice vocals....LOVE IT DUDE!!

[@sarahlima675]

amazing

[@robinblieck4503]

Sweden, one of the best countrys in the world for metal! \m/Arch Enemy, In flames, evergrey, Tiamat \m/ sweden, Finland and Holland surely have the best bands right now!
