I can't express how much a joy it is to here such a wonderful voice.
I was introduced to Josh Groban's music more than a year ago when he was featured on a Celine Deion televised concert(PBS if memory serves). Took me awhile to buy his CD's but now have several and want to finish making my collection current.

My father recently passed away. My sister gave this CD to mom to listen to for soothing comfort and reassurance, track number 5 to be specific (Up Where You Are). I had to buy this for my Mom. The words were written as if he could see directly into my Mom's heart and knew her aches and pains after losing her husband of 51 years. It is played over and over by us and has been a source of comfort and a way of expressing our love and wishes along with our sadness and sense of loss.
The rest of the CD is soothing and very relaxing. His voice is addicting and comforting which is not changed at all by the fact that some of his songs are in Italian. Without understanding his words, I find myself singing along with him because I will not stop listening.

Josh Groban is a very young talented performer. At the age of 20yrs he has an amazing voice. Groban has a very unique voice. Its like a light bariton of some sort. My favorite songs are: Canto Alla Vita, The Prayer, and To Where You Are. This is his very first album. You won't regret it if you miss out.

This album is perfect to listen whenever. If you are stressed or mad, it really helps you calm down. All of Josh Groban's songs can do that. I highly, highly recommend this CD to everybody.

Man, the boy can sing! He can go sing those high notes and his voice goes so low. Gosh he is so good! I've almost totally memorized all these songs on this disc.

The first time I heard Josh Groban was live at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Closing Ceremony. My jaw immediately dropped and I was instantly in love with his voice. When my brother asked what I wanted for Christmas that year, I told him the Josh Groban CD. He didn't get it for me. But now thatmy brother is also a fan he apologizes for not getting it that year. Also, anytime they have to change the genre of a musician because he is so popular, he's great.

Josh's first album is so wonderful! Once I heard him on Charlotte Church's CD doing a duet, I went out and bought his CD. I was so amazed that THAT voice came out of him. It's so amazing! I literally cried the first time I heard his version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." He is just so talented and a cutie!

The first time i heard this CD, I thought "Dude, this isn't in ENGLISH!" And then i played it again, and fell in love with his voice. I mean, WOW! It's beautiful! i've never heard any one sing like that, before. If you don't already have a copy of at least ONE of his CD's, you need to get one... now. No, really, I mean it. GO!

This CD is absolutely fabulous....Josh Groban has the most amazing voice. I almost hate him for it cause it makes me wonder why I can't have his voice. Every song is stunning. Even if you can't understand the words he is saying, you can still enjoy the silky richness of his voice. A must have for any music lover!

The first time I saw Josh was on "Oprah", and his voice is so breathtaking that I cried. The choice of songs are perfect for Josh. Happy listening!

This is Josh Groban's self-titled debut album, and it is brilliant! The songs are great and his voice is wonderful. He gives you enough "Opera" for those who aren't so into it. He and Charlotte Church have started their on music genre, Pop Opera, and it is amazing! My favorite song is "Canto Alla Vita" featuring The Corrs. The song that i did want on the album was "For Always" with Lara Fabian, but it's not there, but that's ok because the album is great and the second is even better!!! I can't wait to see him in concert!!!

Barnes & Noble - David Cohen
Following in the wake of the spectacular success of artists like Andrea Bocelli and Russell Watson, the ever-expanding genre of classical crossover music is set to embrace another rising star, Josh Groban. The 20-year-old baritone's debut CD, Josh Groban, artistically exceeds the industry's high expectations for this very young, remarkably self-possessed performer. Discovered by producer-songwriter David Foster, the handsome L.A. native has selected an eclectic mélange of classical and contemporary tunes that present his warm and robust voice in a variety of complimentary settings. Whether singing in Italian (the gorgeous "Alla luce dal sole" and "Un amore per sempre") ...
