I have heard the original "Imagine" by John Lennon many times, and a few other covers, but this one is a first. You all have recommended Chris Kläfford since I started doing analysis videos a little over a year ago, and today is the day I learned why. There is no question how he won the thirteenth season of Swedish Idol series. . . this man has such an angelic voice!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Chris Kläfford for the very first time, performing "Imagine” live in his kitchen.

Performed by Chris Kläfford - Words and Music by John Lennon and Yoko Ono

He has a true gift that is so powerful and can really make you emotional, I wish him great success he has a very bright future.

Chris’s ability to color the dynamics in his vocal is simply spectacular. The level of control and confidence over your voice while innately being able to place a perfect note core and color it with nuance and never drop that core pitch is just breathtaking. Seriously, not many well seasoned singers can pull this off with such smooth perfection. This aspect of his singing ability so perfect that it simply has to be a musical instinct within him because I’m not sure that’s something you can just practice if that makes sense. I really think that is the major key to the beauty of his voice and singing prowess within his extraordinarily broad limits. The ability to color your range with emotionally accurate nuance and pull it off as absolutely genuine is a rare gift and Chris has that gift in a very unique and almost unlimited way. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

I completely enjoy your reaction videos. Not only do you instruct on methods and techniques artists are doing (sometimes I wonder if the artists themselves consciously know they are doing what you describe), but you also bring out nuance that only a trained ear could hear. This amplifies the experience for me - even on a song I’ve listened too many times. Your smile is wonderful to see, every time. If I were a student of yours (won’t every happen because I can’t even carry a tune in a bucket), I would strive everyday to win that smile. Please keep doing these videos. I truly love them.

@@lordphontaroy3592 Interpretations are always unique and had nothing to do with the writer's intention. And nobody but John himself knows his intentions. Whatever they were the meaning of the words is that of love, unity and freedom, about the human potential and of peace, and they don't stir up any communistic desires in me, and probably not in most other people either, so it seems that if that was his intention he seriously failed. You can choose to let whatever you believe ruin what could have been a beautiful and wonderful moment, but do you really think the world is becoming a better place by intentionally trying to ruin other people's experiences too? Because John's song is spreading love, your comment is spreading the opposite. In my book he's the winner, whatever his intentions were. Because we get to choose how we interpret it. Whatever your intentions were I get to choose how to view it. Just like you get to choose how to view the song.

YOU have the choice to see the intention for love and peace that is the message, even if John's personal view of how to achieve that was through communism. His intention and the message is one of love and appreciation and that we do have the option to choose peace. We choose where we focus and how we see it. I choose to see this song for what it is, a love song to life.

I'm glad that you mentioned the teary eyed emotion you felt as Chris builds the tune. Because every time I listen to him sing the song (and I listen to his version a lot) I have to wipe my eyes! I hope you've listened to his AGT audition. He brings the house down!

Chris Kläfford is a great example on how much vocal practice can do. If you search "Chris Kläfford all idol auditions" you can see how much he's progressed through the years. He wasn't exactly a bad singer to begin with but if you compare his first audition to this performance the improvement is extraordinary.
