Josh Groban: Official Topic

[Prince Whiskers]

Oooooh you think so, Dionesque? A German friend of mine once said that there are more beautiful girls here in Manila than the whole of Germany! OMG

 

Anyway, the writer added that he was struck by how unassuming Josh Groban was. He said that the singer didn't have the usual airs of somebody rich and famous.

Something does not sound right about this thread...

The Bopping Cat has just cast a spell on Love, . From now on, his ears won't be able to pick up anything other than Mimi whistling in her eardrum-scratching dolphin voice!!!!

I need to stop looking at your Bobbing Cat.

It's hypnotizing me! :mdr:

 

And don't get me started on Mariah Scary.

I'm only nice to her because she's an endangered specie.

Oh I forgot, the guy who wrote that article writes every Sat. for my favorite local broadsheet. It came out a month ago and I'll see if I can find it again so that I can post some pics from the private party.

Though I would love Celine's album to be in the #1 spot this week I'm glad Josh's album is instead of Alicia Keys. Noel has gone 2x platinum!!

Hey, Jen! I'm slowly coming around to becoming a Josh fan!

Better late than never? Eh?

His performance on the 75th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center last night was AMAZING!!

I guess I will have to check out more of his music!

*hypnotizing Mama B*

 

Yes, yes you will become a Grobie! Fall in love with his music and forever be a Grobanite. http://www.smileysets.us/temp/PRINCESS/wacko.gif

 

 

If you want more reason to be a fan, this is one of my favorite (and most other Grobies) song on his last album Awake. This song has the same title and he wrote it himself.

I doubt that I will become a Grobie

as I prefer to listen to Urban music (hip-hop, R-n-B, Jazz, etc...).

The only other time I had really heard him sing is when he performed with Céline during the WCD Special.

But his voice is so soothing. Geat music for when I'm extremely stressed and need to relax!

So I will definitely check into more of his music!

Thanks for the link!

[dj4celine]

I bought it today and it's simply beautiful

 

Sure to be one of my fav Holiday albums...I think after a few more spin, it'll be up there with my fav. holiday albums : TAST and Miracles (Kenny G)

[Edwin]

I am planning on getting it this weekend.

 

Pa rum pum pum pum

[Prince Whiskers]

I was busy checking out new DVD arrivals in a local shop when the staff thought of playing the album. I was able to listen to the first 4 songs. I thought he sounded tired but his "Ave Maria" was impressive.

Josh Groban's "Full-Circle Moment"

To Perform "The Prayer" On Grammys; Song Helped Launch His Career

 

(CBS) Singer-songwriter Josh Groban's powerful baritone voice has captured audiences around the world -- and catapulted him to superstardom.

 

Groban was the best-selling artist of 2007, and his two albums, "Closer" and "Awake" have sold millions of copies.

 

He'll be performing the song "The Prayer" both on the Grammys show on CBS Sunday night with Andrea Bocelli, and with Celine Dion on her CBS special on Feb. 15.

 

"The Prayer," which won a Golden Globe Award in 1999 and a Grammy nomination, was done as a duet by Bocelli and Dion, and was used on albums put out by both.

 

It was penned by producer/composer David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager.

 

Foster, who's credited with discovering Groban, persuaded the young talent to do "The Prayer" for a Grammys rehearsal in 1999, and it wound up being Groban's first big break.

 

And doing it with Bocelli Sunday will be "such a full-circle moment for me," Groban observed to Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez Friday. "I'm so excited to not only be singing on the Grammys for the first time, but to be doing this song with Andrea is just huge for me, because I was a 17-year-old kid (when) I got called in (to the 1999 Grammys rehearsal) because he (Bocelli) was -- I guess his flight was late, or he was not feeling well. He wasn't able to make it to the rehearsal, and I came in and stood in for him."

 

He sang "The Prayer" at that rehearsal -- with Dion -- and many music luminaries who were there took note, sparking Groban's path to huge success.

 

Now, Groban gets to do "The Prayer' with Bocelli at the Grammys, which he calls "a huge thrill," and with Dion on her special.

 

You might say he's got all bases covered!

I really can't imagine. Who will sing Celine's part? Josh?

Thanks for the info, Bellamy. I suppose it would be Josh the one who'll sing Celine's part. Can't wait to hear it.

[Bellamy]

That sounds so weird, and so wrong. I've never imagined two male sing "the Payer". And it's Josh and Andrea.

[marckvls]

Yeah, but I liked the story!

Sometimes I imagine myself in those situations:

 

- OMG, Andrea's flight is delayed! Hey, you boy! Could you please do this rehearsal with Celine?

- Me, humm I don't know. Ok. (YEAAHH)

 

 

 

Once it happened to me in a school live concert! LOL

[peo]

Andrea Bocelli at the Grammy's???? Is this true?

[Thomas]

I would die if Josh came out in a dress...

[dj4celine]

I would die if Josh came out in a dress...

 

 

 

ooo.. I gotta watch it... only a few hours left :mdr:

[LuisMa]

It's now totally gonna happen, as before the break, they showed a clip of the rehearsals, and yes they're singing "The Prayer" together.

[dj4celine]

Dangit.. I missed it

[Cambroneroj]

It was very nice! this year edition was very nice. lots of great performers. Loved Carrie Underwood and Tina with Beyonce. Hated Aretha Franklin.

[kathyc25]

It was amazing!! I actually made me cry

[Say What?]

[Bellamy]

I'm sorry. I have to say I hate this version. I hate how Josh and Andrea try to over sing each other. When they sing together. It sounds so annoying, instead beautiful when they sing with Celine. Don't get me wrong, I still like Josh and Andrea.
