William Örneskog Yeah, like "Ok, stop singing! I'm not sold on your voice but I like your hair so here's your ticket to Stockholm! Seriously that hair is absolutely fabulous!" He is not fit for a TALENT show...
Sweden's got the best metal bands.. In Flames, Soilwork, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity, Persuader, Hammerfall, Opeth, Therion, Bathory, Katatonia, Meshuggah, Divinefire, Hypocrisy, Scar Symmetry, Sabaton, Evergrey, Falconer, Amaranthe... God bless you Sweden
@@trasigast well that proves my point. To add to that now you've exposed some sectarian and sexist sentiments. Everyone knows everlast is anti catholic. Less hate mate! Dont forget that words are powerful so one must almagamate their mass and configuration responsibly. Ohm be with you for being a good sport 👍😏🙊
Wow, I think I will have to move from Australia to Sweden....a beautiful country that still has love for where music originated, "A person that can play and instrument AND sing... real rock & roll.. cheers Sweden. :)
Never thought that in almost a decade since hearing this, that I'd be watching this again, this time while being in Sweden. Funny how life works out that way, I can even pick up most of the things they say now.
One of the many reasons why everyone should record and release their songs. A song may not become a hit, but someone else might pick it up make it one.
Bernhardina Hörnstein AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, not really. The inflections Everlast puts in HIS songs are unreachable, also the kid is really good but he's missing years and years of practice that Everlast has.
+warfossil Sweden is a country of music and we've written a lot of songs for Americans as Micheal Jackson, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Katy Perry, J.Lo, Europe, backstreet boys and a lot more so just because the song is in English doesn't make the song American and the song is written by an American-Irish song writer
Envy. That's the word in my mind coz in Italy we don't have such a great singer. He rocks, and has the most original voice ever heard so far. I didn't know he was the winner when I watched this video for the first time and It was a nice surprise to find it out later.. Congrats, that was a great choice Sweden! Bravi!
American talent shows share a common template that puts forward all singers with a back sob story. Whereas swedish idol takes music and talent seriously like no other show in the world. If these swedish talents were in the US, they'd surely destroy the template, curated, factory manufactured music and the musicians. The swedish idol deserves to be a master brand that the global franchises of the same show should look up to. I've been revisiting the swedish pages like almost every day since I discovered Petr's audition here I am..
this dude's awesome. had earlier watched his enter sandman vid..just made me pick my axe...looking at this guy and the countless metal bands from sweden I will surely like to visit there for atleast a month if not forever...know the people and the music scene up close
I can tell you one thing, dont go stockholm! Why? Because you dont get that swedish feeling! Västervik is really,REALLy, nice,swedish and medium-small city!
RakuziGaming Haha true! Do not go to Stockholm! Visit Malmö ;) The City of Parks (and music schools ;)) Seriously though, this city is just so full of music stores and awesome music performances I just wanna fall to the ground and die of happiness xD but Västervik is also a good option :) All in all - You should visit Skåne! That's were many of the metal and rock bands are from :)
:09-:17 seconds is "ultranumb" instrumental by blue stahli if anyone was curious. Dude does all instruments and mixing by himself, so he deserves a shout out and much as this guy
I have to agree, in terms of his voice, inflection, emphasis, roughness, whatever else it is, this is def better. somone could easily cover this song in this fashion and make it more popular than the original by everlast.
@@jco8671 yeah 3 dots makes me report lol never gonna happen now we 11 years since the video and we still cant understand makes me even more sad cause Jay Smith is a super star with his band and yet to this day no translation from Swedish to English. I am sad but I will keep listening cause hey most of your singers sing in English lol
(Right when he enter the audition room). Laila - Hello. Magnus - Now it’s time for rock. Anders - Yeah, no ballads here. Jay - No not really, not at all. Laila - What’s your name? Jay - Jay Smith. Laila - Cool name, you’re from..? Jay - England. My father was English. Laila - So then your pronunciation must be really good. Jay - I’ll hope so. Laila - What are you going to sing? Jay - Black Jesus by Everlast. (During the performance). Laila - What a fucking voice, what a voice! (After the performance). Anders - Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay! Laila - What the hell?! Anders - Time to leave the vegetables behind you. Laila - You’re one of the most original voices I’ve heard in a long time. Anders - My favorite in this competition so far. Magnus - Without a doubt. Jay - Thank you so much. Magnus - Enjoy the bananas and I’ll see you later. Laila - Such a unique voice! Jay - Thank you for having me!
Älskade hans röst då och gör det även nu....8 år senare. Jag var 11 då och är 19 nu. Har sätt han live 2 gånger (första gången förra året andra gången i lördags) och det är definitivt inget jag ångrar. Han är bäst💙
So Andreas Kümmert is boring? i think that guy is great and im from finland by the way :D When he sang rocket man in blind auditions, i was sold from the very first second he opened his mouth, man that was so eeeeeeepic voice!
@vipertaker His father came from England and his mother is Swedish. He said in an interview that he, of course, was entitled to double citizenship but that this has never been a big or important matter. He is "only" a Swedish citizen.
their some thing in the air in sweden that make their voice so unique ,their voice is extra ordinary crisp and clear to me raw talent thats waiting to be sign up from big labeling company the super best voice talent on the planet perhaps the elevation of their country that gives them their amazing vocals ,cold all year round ;wow....!
Anyone reading the subtitles guys? What the hell does it mean to leave the vegetables behind and to enjoy the bananas hahaha
He used to work at a grocery store
😂
hahaha i asked myself exactly the sames questions
Swedes just like banans, you wouldnt understand
Vegetables can also be people with down syndrome
I mean... This is BY FAR one of the best auditions in Idol history, both in Sweden and other countries. He's magic...
Yup, I actually meet this guy when he was on tour 😊
check erik grönwall, who do u consider the better one of him and jay? if u compare their audtions?
I prefer Jay, however their style is hardly comparable
I prefer Jay aswell, allthough Eric has a great voice no doubt!
Search Chris Kläfford Idol 2017, even better:o
I relly like these judges to. They seem to have much more fun than the American judges.
There is a new that is called Alexander Bard.... He is a dick
100% Negative too
RakuziGaming Wouldn't call him a dick, all he does is saying to people straight on what he's got on his mind.
William Örneskog Yeah, like "Ok, stop singing! I'm not sold on your voice but I like your hair so here's your ticket to Stockholm! Seriously that hair is absolutely fabulous!" He is not fit for a TALENT show...
RakuziGaming Ye hes gay too that makes it worse
Idol didn’t deserve this man, he’s beyond this.
in that time it wasnt easy to get recording or famous by your own like today.
Sweden's got the best metal bands.. In Flames, Soilwork, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity, Persuader, Hammerfall, Opeth, Therion, Bathory, Katatonia, Meshuggah, Divinefire, Hypocrisy, Scar Symmetry, Sabaton, Evergrey, Falconer, Amaranthe... God bless you Sweden
Ghost bc (:
John Rankin Cant forget Sonic Syndicate
John Rankin you forgot Yngwie Malmsteen ;D
***** Nästan all bra metal är nordisk =)
John Rankin Sabaton!!
I love this dude and the fact that he carries his guitar like he’s gonna hit you with it like please do
His voice is just perfect.
12 years later - still good!
Foreallll. I was like 13 when I first discovered this audition, now I’m 23 still coming back
Yes! 💪
I go back and watch this every couple of months. I love it.
I'm a huge hihop fan but this gave me goosebumps all around. I guess great music is always great music respect!

Bästa sångrösten Sverige någonsin kommer leverera.
You dont say
+Johan Carlberg haha såg att du skrev på en annan video å bara: Jay från 2010 har den bästa sångrösten enligt mig. 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Mr Kläfford får du nog dela denna plats med ;)
?
Och så kom Chris Kläfford!
i swear you swedens have the greatest rocks auditionee..... very envious!
great guitar and great voice... natural winner no bullshit here!
he won it
Just repeating what others have said..BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL !!!
I KNOW!
dude i wanna go to sweden.... these people are fucking awesome... no stupid bullshit modern day disney pop. they are into straight up real music
Many of us loves the music :) I feel very good living in Sweden now :D
Haha come join us and our polar bears then (:
Ami Ellqvist No not really lol, hahaha har du varit på en fest nån gång eller? Inte direkt sån här musik xD
***** Thats true :o 90 000 girls a year are raped here, and a total of 9,8 million ppl lives here.. :o
I assure you that the majority of music that's popular in Sweden is some of the worst crap you'll ever hear.
Wow, I think I will have to move from Australia to Sweden....a beautiful country that still has love for where music originated, "A person that can play and instrument AND sing... real rock & roll.. cheers Sweden. :)
Never thought that in almost a decade since hearing this, that I'd be watching this again, this time while being in Sweden. Funny how life works out that way, I can even pick up most of the things they say now.
Has soul and more. Just watched Everlast perform the original and this is better.
same
One of the many reasons why everyone should record and release their songs. A song may not become a hit, but someone else might pick it up make it one.
For anyone interested or have heard the tune as Jay is walking into the audition, the song is Blue Stahli - Ultranumb
This Is How The Vikings Do It
😂😂
His dad was, but he is born and raised in Sweden
My parents are from Chile, I was born and raised in Sweden, am I a viking now or am I just confused?
Winter Beeds no, his father is English
Soon to be muslims.
14 years later and it still slaps 👊❤️
I love the ENGLISH SUBTITLES HD .. they are great ! well done dude
Fortfarande den bästa audition genom säsongerna.
Thank you Jay for introducing me to this song!! Great rendition!
Thanks for the subs. This is great.
best idol of all time
Petri Vehviläinen was beter
HoomanxD I think he meant the show.
I could listen to this all day
'Of course, I was born ready"
Thank you, now i understand what they say. thank you again.
Better than the original.
+1
Bernhardina Hörnstein AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, not really.
The inflections Everlast puts in HIS songs are unreachable, also the kid is really good but he's missing years and years of practice that Everlast has.
***** sorry dude but this guy has way more feel than the original singer X 100!
***** better than original for sure
***** I've been an Everest fan for a decade, but i have to admit, this IS better than original, can't lie to myself.
R.I.P Janna Smith (Jay Smith's sister) she was my old english teacher in 2014 and she could sing as well. She was wonderful.
I really like the Swede version of Idol. The talent level makes American Idol seem so bland and generic.
+stockjonebills Yet he's playing and singing a song created by an American.
+warfossil E.Schrody wrote the sing and he is American-Irish (: and he said he liked the Swedish Idol and nothing about the song
Daniel strömvall I'll refer you to my previous comment.
+stockjonebills yup, our Idol named "Česko hledá superstar" is also bullshit
+warfossil Sweden is a country of music and we've written a lot of songs for Americans as Micheal Jackson, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Katy Perry, J.Lo, Europe, backstreet boys and a lot more so just because the song is in English doesn't make the song American and the song is written by an American-Irish song writer

"Jag är född redo" :D så jävla kung ju!
Thanks.I've seen this guitar on many videos,and sounds really good,and price telling everyting...
This dude just epic, epic voice and song !
very good voice.realy. hail from greece...
The awkward moment when the cover is better than the original song
Happens a lot.
+Kristoffer Kämpe Nothing can ever be better than the original.
+warfossil now that is bullshit
+warfossil That's all up to personal preference, obviously Kristoffer feels that way and so do I, no reason for you to deny that.
Isak Söderkvist I don't deny the way you feel, I just don't feel the same. It's called disagreeing not denial.
det var efter jay smith som jag slutade titta, han var den bästa sångaren någonsin på idol
He looks like the son to a really powerful Viking.
Everything is perfect about this video i love you Sweden
I've seen it about 100 times and it's still not enough!!!
His voice is fucking powerful and that song.... aw, that's just pure awesomeness!!!
Thank you. I've heard it in movies before but i never had the chance to ask.Thank again.
This has more views than the original :)
fantastisk! i remember cheering all the way in that year.
personally i think this is still his best performance even after winning swedish idol
For you guys who wonder what's the background music in the beggining it's Blue Stahli - Ultranumb. Just too let you know in case you're wondering.
Fan vad sjukt att det här är 9 år sedan. Vart fan har snubben hållit till sedan? Grym röst, måste komma tillbaka! Känns som att det var i går typ.
I can't even....*.* wow! Absolutely awesome!!!
I love his voice!!!
the best version !
Brutalt bra röst och sångare! fan att man inte får höra mycket mer av honom.
They said that he had a very original voice and that it was one of their favorite auditions so far.
his voice is amazing.

The whole world hates americans i know i do.. from england
man itz 2012 and i still cnt stop watchin this!!!
Gotta love Sweden
den här jävla låten är den bästa jag har hört!
IMAGINE HAVING MORE VIEWS ON YOUR SWEDISH IDOL AUDITION THAN THE ACCUALL SONG, AND BEING 1000000 TIMES BETTER.
Minnen minnen, old but gold :P Sjukt bra!
this outclasses every acoutstic performance since rock days
how can you like this so much?? he has a voice that many have!! so what??
this dude's awesome. had earlier watched his enter sandman vid..just made me pick my axe...looking at this guy and the countless metal bands from sweden I will surely like to visit there for atleast a month if not forever...know the people and the music scene up close

Ok...thanks for the advice gus
guys
Vineet Ohol Ofc you should visit the big city and capital Stockholm, or the home of rock Göteborg.
They just give shitty advice cus they live there.
Nu får du faktiskt sluta vara så grym Jay :c
I love how the judges know the lyrics well enough to cut him off before he starts spitting profanity on air.
:09-:17 seconds is "ultranumb" instrumental by blue stahli if anyone was curious.
Dude does all instruments and mixing by himself, so he deserves a shout out and much as this guy
Did he win? His every performance is spot on.
Yes, he did.
thank you :D
No problem ;).
Naida Alajbegović He won but more or less quit doing music because of drugs.
Hampus Törnros lmao?
U know u r amazing when jury starts to sing and dance along the song that u perform :D
THESE ARE GOOD JUDGES
I just love this jury :D
gåshud så skägget reser sig ;D

Får rysningar så jävla bra han gör den!
I have to agree, in terms of his voice, inflection, emphasis, roughness, whatever else it is, this is def better. somone could easily cover this song in this fashion and make it more popular than the original by everlast.
@sinister4lyf Actually, his guitar is tuned down one half step. So with a standard tuned guitar, the chords are F#, A, Ab, E.
Gilla om du kollar 2k19:)
Awww bless him he seems so lovely nice voice nice guitar. Yes! Excellent! Where is he now? He should have music out
Wolf Moon doing drugs sadly
He has plenty of music out, mainly amazing rock/country singles
Gilla om ni kollar 2018
Nice performance of a great song. Bravo.
this audition > every damn audition
I love how the judges join in, this is great! ^_^
4 years later can we get an English sub for the judges on one of the best singers ever as well as one of the most successful out of Sweden?
Yeah click on the 3 dots and put captions on....
@@jco8671 yeah 3 dots makes me report lol never gonna happen
now we 11 years since the video and we still cant understand makes me even more sad cause Jay Smith is a super star with his band and yet to this day no translation from Swedish to English. I am sad but I will keep listening cause hey most of your singers sing in English lol
(Right when he enter the audition room).
Laila - Hello.
Magnus - Now it’s time for rock.
Anders - Yeah, no ballads here.
Jay - No not really, not at all.
Laila - What’s your name?
Jay - Jay Smith.
Laila - Cool name, you’re from..?
Jay - England. My father was English.
Laila - So then your pronunciation must be really good.
Jay - I’ll hope so.
Laila - What are you going to sing?
Jay - Black Jesus by Everlast.
(During the performance).
Laila - What a fucking voice, what a voice!
(After the performance).

Älskade hans röst då och gör det även nu....8 år senare.
Jag var 11 då och är 19 nu. Har sätt han live 2 gånger (första gången förra året andra gången i lördags) och det är definitivt inget jag ångrar. Han är bäst💙
P.s
Vill bara att alla ska veta, att om ni någon gång får chansen att se han live och träffa honom.. GÖR DET! Han är jätte snäll😊
Am I the only one that wants to hear him do a full version of this acoustically?
breathtaking !
I'm in love....
you watch only video of him? my god he sings ENTER SANDMAM! the best cover i have see...
1:56 that guys face right there reminded me so much of guitarist from tenacious D
He is so awesome!
He should totally do an unplugged studio version of this!!
It exists
This was the best song covered by Jay Smith :)
why are swedish casting shows this kind ob fucking great, while in germany everthing is sooooo boring...
But you have like some of the best metal bands in the world **_**
Germany is my second favourite country in the metal genre...
So Andreas Kümmert is boring? i think that guy is great and im from finland by the way :D
When he sang rocket man in blind auditions, i was sold from the very first second he opened his mouth, man that was so eeeeeeepic voice!
Are you mr.dog in ss?
MetalUnitesPeople Whos your first? :D
Kurliston Well, my country... Sweden :p
Fan Jay varför fortsatte du inte på detta spåret 😢
He can sing!!
@vipertaker His father came from England and his mother is Swedish. He said in an interview that he, of course, was entitled to double citizenship but that this has never been a big or important matter. He is "only" a Swedish citizen.
HE IS NOT DEAD. He just served some time in jail for possesion of drugs.
Vafan!? Tog dom honom för hans födelsedags-haschkaka?
Jakob Nilsson Han blev tagen för meth också :)
killed it! well done F***** loved it!!
1:18 the "SING EEET" In the background actually added a great thing to the song, I was like Holy fk
their some thing in the air in sweden that make their voice so unique ,their voice is extra ordinary crisp and clear to me raw talent thats waiting to be sign up from big labeling company the super best voice talent on the planet perhaps the elevation of their country that gives them their amazing vocals ,cold all year round ;wow....!
