    No one does it better. I remember visiting my friend in Copenhagen, coming from Iceland, christmas 1986 and buying this record there. I was 19 then and I still love it today at almost 56 (in few weeks).

    Tommy is phenomenal! The best swedish male singer of his generation, in fact one of the best singers and performers of his generation in the world!

    • @djkmusic60
      @djkmusic60 4 года назад +8

      I absolutely concur with you. his performance of Endgame from Chess is also breathtaking, especially when you hear his very last note when he jumps from F to the high Bb, it is thrilling. no one else does that in any performance I have ever heard. Outstanding!!!!

      If you think Tommy is the best Swedish singer. I think you should check Tommy Johansson, for instance this one... ruclips.net/video/zoGJ7mxNq0M/видео.html

      @@rateit1474 I most certainly know of Tommy Johansson! I'm a big fan and a subscriber since the early days of his channel. He's absolutely frigging amazing in every aspect. He's a jack of all trades and super talented in everything he does. Especially in singing and above all playing guitar! I just can't understand how he manages to be so productive as he is, since he's fully commited to Sabaton as well! Tommy is a beast!
      But remember, I wrote that Tommy Körberg is the best Swedish singer of HIS GENERATION!
      As for other younger male Swedish singers I absolutely love Erik Grönwall as well. I'm a member on his RUclips channel and he's an absolutely wonderful human being except from being one of the best metal singers in the world right now.
      Here's a song from him just for bonus, but I have a feeling you already dig Erik if you like Tommy J. :)
      ruclips.net/video/xQbT-Qgrl20/видео.html
      But my number one is without any question Chris Kläfford! His voice is like no others! He's completely unique! The variety and control he has when singing together with his otherworldy feeling for any song he sings is mindblowingly good! He's simply outstanding! That's why I'm proud to be the co-founder of his international unofficial fansite on Facebook.
      Take a listen to this one if you haven't already:

      @@JimmyOlsson I know all of them. Well written. I agree with all and I know that you wrote "of his generation". I was thinking maybe you had Jussi in mind when you wrote that. Thanks for the clarification. I just use to put Tommy Johanssons name out there since many, even Swedish ppl, doesn't know about him. Tommy Körberg is amazing too. I have him as third best singer in Sweden ever. Tommy Johansson second and Jussi Björling comes first.

    From a musicians standpoint, Tommy Korberg's multiple performances of Anthem are shattering, definitive, and bring this piece to life. His understanding of the words, beauty of tone and power are extraordinary. No one can touch him in this arena.

      @Sunedosa 9 лет назад +40

      steven rochelle Disagree strongly, Grobans version is dull, lackluster and lifeless compared to the original. Just saw him sing it on the tonight show and there's just no comparison, his version is allmost completly void of passion and feel for the piece.

    • @SteVoPhoto
      @SteVoPhoto 9 лет назад +1

      Sunedosa, well in the musical Josh's voice is stronger way more powerful and if it is lifeless as you said , chech out Josh's neck on the last note, he is giving everything, unlike your inept mr korbergs version where I had to put my speakers on full power just to hear him. And you my friendly idiot this is my last response....

    • @Sunedosa
      @Sunedosa 9 лет назад +33

      Jesus you really have a hardon for Josh groban haven't you ? I'm not talking about this specific version, this is 20 years after this song was written with Korberg in mind. Of course Korberg who is allmost 60 here will not have the same power as he had in his late 30*s.
      And to be honest, your attitude makes you just an idiot, not even a friendly one. I've seen you post the same crap in tons of Korberg videos, trying to belittle people on your white knight Groban mission but i don't think you could be less of a cunt even if you tried..

    @blackout2189 2 года назад +29

    Anthem is, imo, one of the best pieces of musical work ever created. It is a perfect build of vocals, instruments, tempo and production. It is a tricky song that a good singer can do amazing things with. I've heard all the others, from Bell to Groban to Ramin to others, and they all do amazing with the song.
    But this is Tommy's baby. This is his bag. Same with Murray Head doing Heaven on Their Minds or Odem doing Wait for It. It's their song. Everyone else just covers it.

    She is eternal
    Long before nations' lines were drawn
    When no flags flew, when no armies stood
    My land was born
    And you ask me why I love her
    Through wars, death and despair
    She is the constant, we who don't care
    And you wonder will I leave her -- but how?
    I cross over borders but I'm still there now
    How can I leave her?

    Greetings from New England USA. I have listened to many covers. Yesterday, while listening to Sissel Kerjabo, i came across a duet where this gentleman sang with her, which led to this, and then the instudio . I believe the two men who composed the composition had him in mind. This is his song .The man is the song.

    I grew up listening to and loving this song, One of the best ever written and sung. Tommy (not only because he was the original singer) does the best rendition I have ever heard. I love this video because it is the first time I have seen Tommy sing

    This is a beautiful song. The first time I saw the musical "Chess" I was in college, and attended with a Lithuanian friend of mine. We were both deeply moved by the song, it moved her to tears. Though the lyrics are written about the Russians, it could also have been written for the Baltic states that were annexed by the Soviets. After the fall of the Soviet Union, I had a chance to visit Lithuania during the freedom festivals that celebrated Lithuania's separation from the Soviet Union. Words can't describe the nationalistic pride they felt as they raised their own flag again, and were once again able to speak Lithuanian in public.

    Wilkerson owns Valjean, Crawford owns The Phantom, and Tommy Korberg will forever own Anatoly Sergievsky. Other people play the part and sing the songs but Korberg actually appears to become the part. The depth of emotion he brings with each rendering leaves all the others standing at the gate. While I've learned to enjoy other versions Chess, nothing will ever equal the original cast and recording. I even get goose bumps when he sings it in Swedish!

    It is often said that the original is always the best and in this case, that is definately true. NO ONE will ever sing this song as amazing as Tommy does, Josh Groban did it very well. no doubt, but Tommy is still the man

      blir det en ny nationalsång kommer den den att innehålla namnet allah flera gånger så muslimerna inte känner sig utanför. som julsånger har skrivits om för att inte låta kristna för då tar muslimerna illa upp
