Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

There are worse things in life for than making your acting debut on the much ballyhooed season finale of Ally McBeal, though teen operatic baritone Josh Groban doesn't seem destined to encounter them anytime soon. As the awkward high school student-client who asks the typically romance-jinxed Ally to his senior prom, Groban performed this debut album's "You're Still You" (adapted from film-composing legend Ennio Morricone's Academy Award-nominated score for Malèna, with lyrics by Linda Thompson) as a heart-tugging, literal showstopper. The young star was just 17 when veteran producer-writer David Foster tapped him to fill in for Andrea Bocelli at rehearsals for the 1999 Grammys, where Groban found himself suddenly dueting with Celine Dion.

If this collection tends to hew sometimes uncomfortably close to Foster's own MOR sonic instincts, the material offers enough challenges to display Groban's talent and the potential of his warm, mature voice: a lyrical take on another Morricone classic, "Cinema Paradiso"; melancholy readings of Don McLean's "Starry, Starry Night" and Albert Hammond's "Alejate"; masterfully dramatic takes of the Neapolitan "Alla Luca Del Sole" and "Canto Alla Vita," the latter featuring the Corrs. Many of Groban's performances here, including a neo prog-rock-opera take on Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (with Lili Haydn), seem both bigger and bolder than their precious musical frameworks, a telling hint that Grand Opera can't be far from his grasp. As said earlier, there are worse things in life.--Jerry McCulley

4.0 out of 5 stars An incredible debut, 19 Mar 2004
By J. A. Walls "jamwalls" (Richmond Upon Thames) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This album is truly a work of art, I found it in Amercia and recognising him from his appearence in Ally McBeal and seeing the song he sung was on the album, I had to buy it, and it was one of the best investments I have ever made.
I won't review each song, but will give an overview of what I consider are the highlights.
"You're still you" is the song from Ally McBeal and is an incredibly powerful ballad featuring a wonderful string and piano accompanying him, the crescendo towards the end as he declares his admiration truly shows the potential this artist has.
"To where you are" is possibly my favourite track on the album. A hauntingly beautiful song about losing a loved one, and knowing they are still around you, will not only touch your heart but also inspire.
"Alejate" is actually the Spainish version of a Celine Dion track called "Just walk away" The Dion version is a melancholic beauty and while in an unfamiliar language and with a slight flamenco guitar essence, this is still a masterful track which while not even understanding the actual words will not stop the content from coming through.
"Canto Alla Vita" features the Corrs (Yes I had wondered where they went as well) and is an eclectic mix between opera, light techno backings, a hint of folk and the Corrs who finalise it to become an initially strange though quite funky mix.
"Prayer" featuring Charlotte Church, a duet which at times seems to not know where to end. A traditional 'I'll sing it in English then you sing the Italian bit" formula which is very successful though I am not entirely sure their voices compliment each other as some of his other duets. The song is a little preachy bordering on total optimism but does work my only concern being that 2 people who have incredible voices do not automatically make a perfect duo.

Overall this album is without a doubt the most inspirational and powerful I have bought in a long time. If you think it is only opera you are wrong and don't let that put you off if you do not like that genre, neither do I but this album features so much to listen to, that when there is a slight operatic piece you find yourself giving in to it unashamedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars SENSATIONAL - Do not miss out, 2 Sep 2005
By Mrs. S. Forth "SMF1968" (North East of England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First saw Josh on Ally Mcbeal singing "You're Still You" (don't let this put you off if your not a fan of the TV show) ... I was stunned but had no idea who he was.

I was off ill recently and caught him on a 2nd episode singing "To Where You Are" which left me in tears and this time I had to find out if I could get hold of his music.

Some of the songs are not in English but this is nothing to worry about ... they are just as moving and just as addictive. Alejate is just amazing ... makes me want to learn Spanish!!

If you are at all undecided then I recommend you take the plunge ... you won't be sorry ... and if you don't find at least one song on this CD that moves you to tears I will be surprised.

Stuff like this doesn't come along very often ... treat yourself ... then sit back, close your eyes and enjoy x

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!!!!!, 2 April 2002
By Jensine (Essex, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I first heard Josh Groban on Ally McBeal and immediately loved his voice. I tried to find out who it was back then (about a year ago) but couldn't....and then I saw him again and managed to get his name off the net.

Got the cd yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful!!! My favourites: you're still you, to where you are and the prayer..with charlotte church. But the rest are also fantastic.

I can't recommend this cd highly enough, I'm not really a fan of this type of music but Josh has a voice that i believe would appeal to anyone. Its stunning!

Go buy it!!!!!!!!!!

My, how the guy's voice grates with sickly sweetness, a bleating vibrato and, quite often, slightly-off tuning - all frighteningly reminiscent of Chris de Burgh.
