Swedish Idol winner 2009

Was won by a guy called Erik Grönwall and was competiting vs another dude called Calle Kristiansson.

They both got to pick one song they wanted. Second song got voted from the people and the final song is the "Idol Winning Song" which both had to sing.

Erik Grönwall - Winner

Calle Kristiansson - Second

I suggest watching the winner song of both singers, cool song :)

Erik deserved the win, his voice is amazing! Calle was also great but just didnt make it. Was really close tho 1-2 % I think.

What do you think? ;)

not as good as the young girl who won it some time ago <3
looks like HuLk1 so much it makes me horny.
omg, with a little help from my friends is joe cocker song
I Read the discription that "With a Little Help From My Friends originally wroten was written for Ringo Starr and his limited "singingabilities" but was later stolen by Joe Crocker and made it to a super hit during the Woodstockfestival1969"
Parent
didnt know about stealing, good that it happened anyway :P
Parent
so just compare the beatles version with cocker's to see which one calle chose
Parent
btw he fucking raped europe song, queen song was a bit better but still I prefer HuLk1 over this shit anyday.

Parent
well I agree that his voice is somewhat special and some songs are really perfectly fit for his voice, but he's no Kurt Nilsen (just an odd comparison - but the perfect example of a voice that carries, instead of the 'image' of a pop star that carries), so I would be very surprised if he turns out to still be a superstar in the coming years.
Parent
Well the boy is still young and havent been into professional singing. I think he is gonna go big and learn loads of stuff. If you compare him to when they started in May he wasnt even close to this level, meaning he is improving fast and learning :) But he definitly has a strong voice.
Parent
True that bro.
