    This performance is breathtaking....Josh has an incredible voice..... It must have been fantastic to be there on the night,to hear such a wonderful perfomance live....

    It goes a bit beyond that. There's something about his tone that really touches you. If he were too perfect it wouldn't quite work the same emotionally. I'm a grown man and father and this is just one of his songs that leaves me blubbing!! He's amazing.

    I ain't bothered if Josh sings opera. rap or just in the bath at home. This guy has a phenomenal voice that brings me out in goosebumps every time I hear him.
    Forget the comparisons, Josh is simply the best singer of his genre that I have heard in decades (and I have heard a hell of a lot of stuff in my 49 years)

      Josh sings opera, his opera singing compares Andrea Bocelli, Steve Barton and Robert Goulet's voices.

      That's also kind of like in the Sailor Moon episode "One Young Man Throat", where Usagi and her boyfriend Mamoru get annoyed by that unknown opera singer, who is voiced by Josh Groban.

    This is truly the greatest rendition ever. With Josh's beautiful, clear, rich, powerful voice, this song is finally given justice and recognition worldwide that it for so long deserved. Thank you so much Josh and it's an honor for me to hear you sing.

      Wait, were the Only Men Aloud actually vocalizing their harmonies to the song, and Josh was singing opera?

    I agree with you...Josh Groban is phenomenal...But listen also to Lawrence Gray singing Gethsemane and Phantom. He is also phenomenal. I have been Lawrence's fan for many years and each time I hear him sing, I get shivers down my spine. Over the years I have seen him receive so many standing ovations!! See him. I believe you will enjoy hearing him.

    Wow, thanks for posting this. I am sad that I couldn't be there for this performance but had the pleasure of seeing Josh in Chess twice, if you remember.
    Oooh goosebumps again Josh, you never cease to amaze me.
    Cheers.

    • @thomasbonilla4316
      @thomasbonilla4316 2 роки тому

      Yes, it looked like Only Men Aloud are harmonizing and it looked like Josh Groban was singing Anthem in opera. And another thing about the only thing Josh Groban sings opera, it's his choice of how he studied classical opera for three years.

      Josh Groban singing Anthem feeling good by singing in an opera voice.

    • @thomasbonilla4316
      @thomasbonilla4316 2 роки тому

      That's also kind of like in the episode of Jena Wakeman with Josh Groban as Jennifer Wakeman's robot husband, Larry Wakeman feeling good by singing in an opera voice when he sings Anthem from Chess. Larry Wakeman was lip syncing and it looked like he was imitating Josh Groban in opera singing Anthem from Chess which was the only song where Josh Groban, Chris Sarandon and the Wakeman Children sing together.

    @janettaylor2444 7 років тому

    Tommy Korberg, or Michael Ball make the Anthem their own, hard to choose between them, Josh is not in the same league, this version was weak and lacked passion although I admit he is a good singer, just not up to the standard of Tommy and Michael !

  • @scottishphotographer
    @scottishphotographer 15 років тому

    I agree about the pit band (though I suspect a cut-down orchestration is to blame rather than the drummer, who was probably just following the score in front of him). Can't say this is the best rendition I've ever heard of the song, though... is it just me, or is young Mr Groban just a tad flat at times? And by the sounds of it, he's going to have to work hard to control that vibrato ...

  • @mrphantomb
    @mrphantomb 15 років тому

    LMAO - Josh Groban is not an opera singer and neither is Rhydian.

    • @thomasbonilla4316
      @thomasbonilla4316 2 роки тому

      The pop singers sing a lot of pop and rock music, but here is the proof for Josh's love of opera. Josh loves opera, he sounds like spinto or a dramatic baritone.
