Tommy Körberg - Stad i Ljus ❤❤❤ Every drinking session at a home party it must be "Stad i Ljus" atleast 2 Times 😂😂

[@kevinteran5624]

Tommy korberg is the greatest singer in the world A man who has mastered singing Change my mind

[@Patrickakustisk]

76 still going strong

[@niddin3281]

He is singing like it is no big deal - with such ease. That is an amazing performance. I'd be impressed even if he were 25 years old, but 73? Wow!

[@GivenToe]

Yeah its insane! 😱😍🔥

[@PeddaUnander]

​@@GivenToe well, also keep in mind that he almost never sings up before a performance. Here is he in his prime singing Athem (Laurence Olivier awards 1987) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6nRoZmtidCZjJI and I think you would like to listen to him sing hard rock with dead by april kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4OkYWVpl7BomKs

[@Jgothman]

Pretty sure that while the video is recent the audio is from an album he recorded when he was younger back in the 80’s

[@sorkeror]

Tommy is on a different level, the proud of Sweden.

[@y0ko12]

Tommy Körberg is a total legend and what a performance 👌

[@GivenToe]

TOTAL legend! 😁😍

[@MrSnejkaj]

You must listen to the same song with another swede. Jussi Björling ❤️

[@lisajalmefors3781]

The one and only! I love listening to Jussi!!!

[@markryan6578]

Sorry, but Tommy is my favourite. He has one of the most natural voices, so easy to listen to, and technically flawless.

[@jakomioftherose2434]

Jusdi wasn't as good as Tommy. And I'm Swedish.

[@Asplund0143]

🇸🇪 Tommy is a national treasure

[@Nic-gn4ff]

Beautiful 😍. I don’t understand a word of Swedish but it doesn’t matter at all when you hear a voice like that. Magical 💫

[@GivenToe]

Yeah! 😁 The lyrics are the same in Swedish as in english but yeah, truly spectacular! 😍🎄

[@johnnycastaway]

When people say, what style of music you like I allways says. Anything that sounds good. no mather the language, style etc. Thath makes music such a powerfull thing. It is just not about lyrics its about melody. And I cant eaven spell. But it doesn´t care. I love russian and chez folk songs.etc And I dont care.. Try to listen to Alf Hambe an swedish guy. As an swede I dont have much to say because we suck in soooo many ways but music is something we still are good at.

[@GivenToe]

I agree 😊

[@Eikei]

I just love Tommy Körbergs voice. There is a rumour going that he doesn't warm up his voice at all before performances. He just clears his throat and gets on with it. That's how golden his voice is.

[@GivenToe]

Thats awesome! Legend!

[@johankaewberg9512]

Oh holy night, indeed! Thank you for recognizing Tommy singing this. This song is where he shone the brightest. Then and now.

[@vlinder6329]

Oh this one is so, so beautiful. Tears in my eyes 😭😭 I also heard him from TOMMY. Was also very very nice 💙

[@stevenkeyte3270]

Wow! What a great voice. 73 is only a number, but to keep a voice like that is very special. Only 'Real' singers can sing at that age. Look at Agnetha and Frida from Abba. Love the song! Thanks for sharing. X

[@GivenToe]

Incredible! Thank you too! 😁🙏🏻

Han är en av dom som sjunger den bäst. Får gåshud av hans röst😍🤩

If I remember correctly Tommy is also an autodidact. One of our national treasures for sure. My favorite of his will always be Anthem from Chess.

[@witchfromthenorth5294]

Never had a singing lesson in his life ❤️ the anthem in chess was written for him

[@GivenToe]

Total awesomeness

[@henrikijonkoping4694]

The best voice in Scandinavia

[@andrewplatts3865]

Tommy has been a huge part of my musical life for well over 30 years, and I adore his special timbre and unique control - I've never heard him sing 'O Holy Night' until today - he made the truth of Christmas appear at the end of July in the middle of the UK - what a gift 😊

[@GivenToe]

Wow! hearing this for the first time was awesome! So it must have been for you too! So glad you could hear it! never wanted christmas more than now even if its in the mid summer haha

[@TB-ug5sg]

As you said.. mind blowing. Love Tommy and this is the best version of this lovely Christmas Carol 👍❤️

[@GivenToe]

He has a very powerful and unique voice!

[@BoBo-ug4do]

Tommy is king

[@patriklindholm7576]

This was new footage implemented on the version on the album "Julen är här" from 1989.

[@staffan66]

Merry Christmas from Sweden! Tommy is one of my favourite vocalists and he's is an icon in Sweden, still fully active and performing and still sounds fantastic. But if you think this was powerful.... well, you really should listen to one the greatest tenors of all time sing this song; The swedish opera tenor Jussi Björling (1911-1960). Pavarotti said in an interwiev: “When I'm learning a new opera roll, I first listen to how Jussi Björling sang it. His voice was unique. I wish more than anything that people compare me with Jussi.”. So if Tommy gave you goosebumbs, I promise you that Jussi will give you even more. I cry every time I hear Jussi sing "O Holy night" ("O Helga natt" in swedish). There are several recordings available in KZbin with surprisingly good quality, due to it's age (recorded in the late 50s). kzbin.info/www/bejne/an_cenSZqZ2qbc0

[@gustavsundberg2420]

Who doesn't love Tommy Körberg's voice?! 😊 Great reaction!💪 I highly recommend another Tommy's version of this song... Tommy "Reinxeed" Johansson, guitar player in Sabaton and lead singer in Majestica. His vocal range is badass! 🤘 And, yes, I've subscribed 😉.

[@GivenToe]

[@finalfightguy]

Fantastic as always. Tommy’s work in Chess in particular remains amongst the best musical theatre performances of all time, still the standard bearer over three decades later. There is another sublime version of O Holy Night from another musical theatre performer, the late Jeff Fenholt. His live version, which I wish I could find again, was absolutely staggering and my personal favourite.

[@mariostylianou7725]

Hey buddy!! I'm gobsmacked!! So so beautifully sanged!! Emotional!! I had a eyelash in my eye..lol Buddy!! Have a great Christmas and your family!!

Wow, what a talented singer at the beginning of the Video. 😉 Thank you for uploading this beautiful version by Tommy Körberg and your reaction. I love Tommy singing „Anthem“ (from Chess), „Stad i ljus“ (Swedish entry to the ESC in 1988) or „Guldet blev til sand“ (from Kristina fran Duvemåla). Merry christmas 🎄🎁 to everyone and greetings from Munich. 👋

Unbelievable all the world should hear this

[@GivenToe]

Agreed 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kristerjohansson9100]

You REALLY should listen to O Helga Natt by Jussi Björling, the world known tenor. This is the guy that even Luciano Pavarotti himself said he can´t be compared to. By all the versions I´ve heard of O Helga Natt or O Holy night, Jussi´s is my favourite. It just doesn´t get better than that.

[@Sonyhellyes]

No tommy körbergs version much better, sorry.

[@robinnygren8139]

Listen to City in Light with Tommy Körberg

[@LottaB60]

In my much younger age l was friend with Tommy Körbergs cousin, ofcourse we did listen to Tom and Mick, the group he was singing in at that time. Tommy's son is the older halfbrother to Avicii. They share the same mom.

Merry Christmas all 🎄 from a Swede in the Philippines.

[@GivenToe]

Merry Christmas! 🎄🙏🏻🎅🏻😁

[@kristineeriksson5957]

Greetings from Sweden! Aah Tommy is so great!!!. If you want to hear another great swedish version of this song, I recommend to listen to Martin Almgren - O helga natt. He won swedish Idol 2015.

[@AFLOVEable]

I learned about this wonderful voice, a couple of years ago while doing research about BAO (Benny Anderson Orkester). Tommy did a lot of work with the ABBA guys. Very often, he toured with BAO, accompanied by Helen Sjöholm, another beautiful Swedish voice (Gabriella's song). Watch out for a duet of Helen and Tommy, singing Bridge over troubled water. OH, if you're into Christmas songs, here's one from Agnetha Fältskog - När Det Lider Mot Jul.

[@GivenToe]

😁😁😁

[@annabackman3028]

I randomly came across this reaction again, in July. I haven't heard neither Tommy nor Jussi Björling singing O Helga Natt since around Christmas time. And now I had goosebumps. I usually get that the first 20 something times I listen to either of them, every year, and obviously now too. To be such a small country, we in Sweden have been blessed with a large number of singers, male and female. Jenny Lind (known as 'The Swedish Nightingale') och Christina Nilsson in the middle of the nineteenth century, Jussi Björling in the middle of the twentieth century, and a few between that. Also Alice Babs, Birgit Nilsson, Nicolai Gedda, Lill-Babs (The Beatles actually OPENED for her on their first tour in Sweden 😂) and many more. And today? Well I rest my case about the last generation. By the way, do we really know if they are as good as they say? The technical progress can make it difficult to judge. One thing is for sure; if you're looking for a Swedish, or of any nationality, singer who can express PAIN in his voice, it is Joakim Thåström. 'Märk hur vår skugga' (Fredmans Epistel 81) by Carl Michael Bellman (1740-1795) about the funeral of a friend's wife, and 'Briggen Blue Bird of Hull' by Evert Taube (1890-1976) about a ship in a rough storm, just by the West Coast of Sweden, the night of Christmas Eve. It's right outside of where one of the men onboard has his old parents living, and he trusts his father, he will come out to rescue them. And he does. He brings the crew to his house, and begins with offering them a schnapps. While he is pouring he asks for the name of the ship. The captain answers 'The brigg Blue Bird of Hull'. The father drops the glass, "My God! Where is my son?" The look at each other and the captain bows his neck, whispering "Carl was tied to the wheel, and forgotten onboard". Many have sung and recorded these two songs, but no one has come near what Thåström does.

[@carinaberglund2100]

Swede here - loved your effort to pronounce his name. As wonderful as this song is, it's nothing compared to being able to hear him singing it live in a church backed up by a choir. I've hade the good fortune of seing him live tvice. It is life changing. ❤️

[@GivenToe]

Seeing him live sounds pretty damn awesome 🔥💪🏻

[@peter-fuppe-fuchs]

Visst är det kul när han försöker uttala Körberg på engelska.... Å sen är han skåning 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@connypetersson7065]

The audio from this official video to O Helga Natt is from 1989, an album called ”Julen Är Här” that Tommy Körberg released. So when they released this video a couple of years ago they used the vocals from 1989. Sorry to ruin the moment here folks :-)

[@michaelgask]

Thanks for sharing this. I knew Tommy from Chess, but thank you for clarifying the Swedish pronunciation of his name. I guess in my head I'd been pronouncing it as though it were German. He has an amazing voice, not only the control, which is astonishing, but also his tone. Appreciate your reaction video, and look forward to the next.

[@GivenToe]

Thank you Michael! :D

I haven't reviewed all the comment so I might be second or third suggesting that you take a look at Tommy Körberg and Celine Dion performing "Beauty and the beast", It will show the range of his voice in more recent music, his performing skills and also his appearance when at his his peak. If you care to experience the best version of "o Holy Night" ever, please listen to Juss Björling's version.He was a scholar opera singer, but nevertheless, it will touch your barebones and your soul.

The lyrics are not the same (the words ”oh holy night” are), i really do like the swedish version better, both for the sound of the lyrics (it is seldom that I like a song better because it is in swedish but in this case I do, the lyrics are beautifully put together also soundwise) and for the meaning. It is just better - and then with versions like this one and the one from Tommy Johansson (and Jussi Björling, of course).
