Josh Groban

[Purified]

I figured I'd put this in contemporary christian since most of Josh Groban's music is christian-based.

I heard Josh Groban's most recent album in the car on a 8 hour drive. I've heard him before, obviously, and really respected him for his amazing talent. But after hearing the CD I was really moved by the songs, despite that almost half of them are sung in italian or french. The english lyrics I understand are very good. I was quite impressed.

His voice is enchanting and his songs about hope and love and our Lord are just... amazing to me. 'When you say you love me' actually made me tear up a bit the first time I heard it, and my favorite is 'Remember when it rained'--the only composition written by Josh himself.

I truly respect those who can sing like this. It makes me wish I could do the same.

I think it was worth commenting over. I'm just wondering if anyone else here appreciates his music in the same way.

Sounds like he is POP?

He is more towards the 'pop' category.. but a lot of his songs are Christian-based.. he does have an amazing voice, check him out sometime..

He is an incredibly talented artist. I saw him at Shoreline Ampitheatre about a year ago. He IS amazing. He's more of an artist who is a Christian than a Christian artist. However, a lot of his songs are wonderfully spiritual.

He does do some POP type music, but he also does quite a bit of Opera and other classical vocal type music.

I did not realize he was a christian. I have heard a little of his stuff and you are right, he has an amazing voice. What is the name of his latest album, I may have to buy it.

 

[MrPibb000]

OK, so I looked online and his latest is Closer from 2003. Is that the one you were listening too?

 

[coastie]

No, I beleive he has an album from 2004 too... I'll ask my wife, she's a much bigger fan than !.

 

[Purified]

Yes, I'm listening to Closer.

I've never heard a Pop song from Josh Groban... He sings ballads and comtemporary opera style stuff. Pop just isn't what I think of when I think of Josh Groban.

I love Josh's music. I was fortunate enough to go to a concert of his about 6 months ago and have amazing seats. It was mind boggling.

My girlfriend has the one cd.There's no mention of God anywhere in the liner notes of thanks,or lyrics represented here. So,I guess I'm missing something--

Subtlety my friend, Subtlety.

I love his songs You raise me up and You are loved. Do you know if he's a Christian and is there anywhere I can read more about him?

 

[squeak]

I think Josh Groban is an amazing artist, though I wouldn't guarantee whether or not he's a Christian. I've never really thought about it mcuh to be honest.
