[@zuleigaagulhas9740]

The voice of his heart speaks louder and clearer than the words of any language.❤❤❤

[@petehercus2393]

What a great range of colour in this guys voice….. awesome!

[@tranquility9325]

I noticed that... wow

[@roglar]

This is a no ordinary guy, he won Swedish Idol.

[@mappim]

And this happened 6 years ago

[@Obeythebeard]

This was probably just a scheme to promote him in the US as well since he was already on a contract following the Swedish Idol competition. Basically one of Simon Cowells own already in other words.

[@Amanda-ch3ou]

What do you mean? He stopped being an ordinary guy after winning Swedish idol? Perhaps Swedish idol didn’t kick start his career as he hoped and now looking for better success else where. Regardless, he deserves to have a life long career, I could listen to his voice all day long

[@Obeythebeard]

@@Amanda-ch3ou "Enligt Kläfford ville produktionsbolaget i stället lyfta fram åren innan sångtävlingen." is what he said in an interview with a major Swedish newspaper when he talked about the American experience. In translation it means "According to Kläfford the production company wanted to emphasize the years prior to the competition." so in essence this was the production company being all in on it. Chris doesn't have the freedom to do whatever he feels like as an artist. I bet he would like to but that's just not the reality behind the contracts in the Idol kind of showbiz.

[@mharrod258]

This is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard. This really should be our ‘Universal Anthem’. ❤❤❤

[@JustGigi319]

this is from several years ago, but I believe he won the competition

[@jamesyeck5431]

Have you ever heard John Lennon? By far the best version.

[@thekatt...]

Agreed 💯

[@judithrobinson5064]

SPEAK ON IT!!! mharrod258 ❤❤

[@JeffreyLeohner]

When a person sings a song so well, with so much emotion, that it makes you cry, you know they’re great!

[@TerriAller-wf2iq]

I love him. He’s so needed and talented. And genuine. Great arrangement great voice

[@VeriTadge]

Wow...mind blowing voice...great artiste, great guitarist great singer, unique voice..deserves a golden buzzer

[@vs52217]

That is the best version of this song that I have ever heard.

[@jamo3976]

I HATE this song usually but this was incredible😊

[@joachimk.480]

He left the whole audience in tears, what a power, what a voice, what a message! ❤👌

[@leece_6702]

The power of anticipation, the way he gently eases into the song. . .so good ❤

[@sumaccooking]

Ode to humanity, this is a golden buzzer in my book!!

[@shingshing01]

I know! I don't know why he didn't get it.

[@freddieholmez2350]

​@@shingshing01 i guess because he got invited by atg to do the show, he is an Swedish Idol winner.

[@lindadavis8927]

This is a beautiful version of this song.

[@mrsTraveller64]

He has a beautiful unique voice and he looks like a Viking!

[@MGC-XIII]

He looks like he is from the 70's xD You can tell he grew up in a Swedish hippie village.

[@antoniajuel9582]

@@MGC-XIII Ramsberg is a hippie village? I lived not far from there for 10 years, and I never heard anything about hippies in the area. That look is pretty common among a certain type of Swedish men, though. I know a whole bunch who used to have that kind of hair and beard in their 20s and 30s, and then shaved the hair when it grew too thin (but kept the beard).

[@MGC-XIII]

The hippie movement was everywhere. I'm 38 and my mom was a hippie. That puts me in his age bracket ;) Ramsberg is a small parish in Örebro. You can bet your ass they had hippies in eh 60's

[@AussieBrit]

Love it! 💖💖💖

[@AussieBrit]

@@MGC-XIII Who cares? He's lovely! 💖

[@yvonnemurray5537]

Such wonderful presentation of the most incredible words ever in a song. Imagine if we really all could get along.

[@Sam-nb8ev]

For thousands of years humans from all over the world have tried to get along but couldn't. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't try and try again. As I see it, the main hurdle to getting along is one widespread attitude which says " my way is the only way ". This attitude has destroyed personal relationships and even led to religious wars which claimed hundreds of millions of lives in the history of humankind.

[@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight]

Everyone's gotta turn off the news and anything coming out of Hollywood, The White House and social media if that is ever going to happen. Religious institutions are also a problem. And ANYTHING coming out of the idiot box that most people still have in their living rooms, and some crazy people even have them in their bedrooms. Completely disconnect.

[@tanyabourne8]

That was a golden buzzer performance and then some

[@PChristianZenner]

The gift of song. Dude has it in spades! John's smiling down on him, no doubt.

[@VirginiaSpencer-bq6jx]

That’s why imagine is the best song written by the lovely John n I’m having it at my funeral xxx

[@strininaidoo9679]

When you have it ......share it with the world......this guys got it .....special track .....

[@Valerie-zg9rh]

Deserved the golden buzzer!

[@darrylstahley8509]

This was awesome!! The comment his student said about him speaks volume alone

[@xRedDragonx1987]

If I were there as a judge, I would say this: "You reached into my shattered soul with that voice and mended everything about me. This is what music is all about."

[@patriciagretzinger9084]

What a beautiful, well controlled voice. Bonus- he's very handsome too.

[@BryceAndBetRing]

Dude turned this song into an Anthem

[@FrankGoetz]

He made this wonderful song his; and he did it in a wonderful, heartfelt way! Awesome!

[@Zedja]

As far as I know the guy still lives about 30 minutes away from where I do. He lived there when he did this show anyway. He had already won the Swedish version of Idol before this. What was even more fun was my online friend of over 20 years competed this year as well. Ryan Niemiller. I've never met him in person but I was able to see his sets online before he made it big. So proud of what he has made of his life.

[@Mindblazter80]

Lindesberg?

[@Zedja]

@@Mindblazter80 Yup. What's even more interesting is that we've had two separate Swedish Idol winners from that place. Considering how many people live there, that's crazy.

[@Mindblazter80]

@@Zedja Ja det är rätt otroligt:)

[@Darci3333]

He really took that song down deep inside his heart and soul and literally made it his own😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He' waits on the music. Never rushed! So fine!

[@dehnerhoades1238]

[@vicj9256]

More than talent. Something in his soul comes out in his voice, regardless of the words.

[@lindapuccio9029]

AWESOME !! He surely is blessed with an incredible voice !!!

[@dbauerlien]

Awesome rendition. I really felt his passion.

[@friendofthelowly]

Possibly the best vocal I have ever heard. Didn't need to see Terry's hand-to-heart, as he's done this dozens of times. But simply, the best vocal I think I've ever heard. And after watching 15 years of American Idol, that's saying something.

[@alinaegneus8508]

Actually, this guy also already won Swedish Idol before this performance!

[@apsideaHiringCohort]

Phenomenal singer! I hope to hear more from him

[@magilla7887]

I remember watching this guy and I thought he was amazing. I hope he is doing great with his career. ❤️❤️
