Saturday, July 9th, 2011 ~ at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin ~ Anastasia Lee & Josh Groban
"To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour."
― Winston Churchill
💚💛💚 NEWS ARTICLE FROM THE GREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTE:
On Saturday, July 9th, 2011 ~ at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin.. Anastasia Lee & her mother attended a Josh Groban Concert, at the pre-concert event.. they asked a fellow concert-goer to Text a Question to Josh.. (As Anastasia and her family don't have cell-phones) The Groban Team would select Three Texts to Read & Answer during the concert..
Anya's Text ~ "My name is Anastasia Lee, I am 14 years old & I Love to Sing Opera.. Can I Sing a Duet with You"?..
If you were among the nearly 6,000 at the Resch Center on Saturday for Josh Groban's concert, chances are you remember more about Anastasia Lee (Johnson's) spontaneous duet with Josh than she does.
Groban invited audience members to text him questions prior to his concert. He picked three to answer during the show, including one from Anastasia, in which she told him she loves to sing classical crossover and could she do a duet with him.
Nobody was more surprised than she, as when he called her name she thought it was a mistake, and the lady next to her kept telling her it wasn't. Then he plucked her from the front row and told the crowd as they headed for a secondary stage, "This is 'Green Bay Idol' in the making, ladies and gentlemen.''
Once Groban headed her direction to escort her to the stage, it all became a 'blur' for the precious little middle school girl from Ashwaubenon/Green Bay WI, who made fans gasp when she broke into "To Where You Are'' with a voice that defied/tripled her age.
'It was an absolutely stunning REAL "Jackie Evancho-esque moment" if not better, from a little girl in the crowd.'
He allowed her to open the song by herself to an arena that gasped at the beauty of her operatic voice. The crowd was quick to its feet with a standing ovation before the little girl could even finish.
She got a standing ovation from the crowd and a high-five from Groban, who said, "That was awesome. ... Man, I was more nervous than you.''
While you wouldn't have known it from her poised performance, the self-taught soprano was extremely nervous.
"I was so scared I couldn't think,'' she said. "A mixture of being scared and thrilled at the same time..... I didn't know what to think at first. I had to sit in my seat to think what had just happened all over in my head and replay it.''
But she does remember this much about her very close encounter with Groban: "He was very nice and funny!''
After sending the child/little girl off the stage with an exuberant high five, and a big bear hug, a dejected Groban joked fans would have to make do with "just me'' for the rest of the night.
Fellow concert-goers said Josh spoke very highly of Anastasia after the performance.

Hi Anastasia,
I was there to witness your beautiful duet with Josh! The unbelievable excitement I had for you and the admiration toward Josh to give you that opportunity put tears in my eyes. Someone asked Josh at the after show signing if he was amazed by your singing. His response was "more than amazed!" Your voice is absolutely lovely and I hope you continue to sing and bless people with your voice.
4:38 - A priceless impression! 😁 He has such a big heart to go with that amazing voice. 💖
Pity there was a rude, loud idiot in the audience.
Oh my god this is one of the most beautifil duets I have ever heard!♡ So sweet of him to pick you ! I REALLY LOVE THIS !♡ BOTH VOICES ARE AMAZING!!
Wow that was a Super Comment Britt :) .. I owe Josh Big Time !
~Anastasia~
You were incredible! I love watching the videos when Josh sings with a fan, and he is so taken by surprise! It just makes my day! LOL At any rate, congrats on a wonderful performance and keep up the good work!
Hey Anya...I always come back here to where I first saw you and was blown away!!
I so love watching this!! Much love
Thank you Loretta. :)
Thanks for sending this my way, Anastasia. Wow! Love your voice, and so did Josh Groban. Even without the benefit of rehearsing, your voices sounded terrific together. This has to be your calling.
Really wonderful performance! I wish I could have been there to see it. That is one of my favorite songs and the clarity on your high notes was outstanding! Keep it up, I've been studying for almost 20 years and can only imagine what an amazing experience that was. You have a beautiful voice!
Wow. that's gotta be awesome for her! I'm JUST NOW getting this recommendation video... 11 years LATER! I hope she grew up to be a beautiful Opera singer! 🙌😘
Not an opera singer but you can find a hundred videos of me singing online. Thank you!

Josh is a gifted n amazing person! How many singers would ever do such a sweet thing! God bless Josh Groben
+Lisa Knox ~ Yes, Josh is a Wonderful Gentleman & Certainly deserves Great Commendation for all he does for the young artists !

Glad to hear back Anastasia! I had a chance to check out some other songs in different languages. BTW, I'm an expat Texan living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. You pulled off "Besso me Mucho" muy bueno! Keep up the good work and many blessing to you my dear.
Un Abrazo y Saludos, Tom
You are so talented! You have such wonderful voice,, so young but modest and humble... You are definitely going to have a long and happy career in music. Thanks for sharing.
Mayah ~ All I can offer you is my personal thanks for those extremely kind words.. I hope not to let you down..
~Anastasia~

I don't care where you are or what you sing, to receive a standing ovation is the ultimate tribute as to how your performance went and how people enjoyed what you gave! It doesn't matter if it is before 300 fans or less at the opening of softball season and you are singing the National Anthem or before 2,500 people paying tribute to your Savior through the talents he has give you! People standing on their feet clapping and yelling and tears rolling down the faces of grown men can't be denied that something special just happened. Never forget how that feels and let it get old!
+Candie Chatham ~ Dear Candie.. I will Never Forget the Feeling and the Toughts that rush thru the mind.. Every time I perform and that happens it's incredible.. I Thank God Each day for his gifts,
~Anastasia~
That is SO cool,Anastasia! You took my breath away..Very impressive performance...It was amazing to hear you two sing together.:)
One has to appreciate his music in order to see what he did for this young lady and what she did for him! Both are very special souls (;
Jeremy ~ What a Thoughtful and Insightful comment.. Just to let you know.. I Sincerely Appreciate those words..
Best,
~Anastasia~
i love that Josh does this...he is so sweet
Great Awakening Josh, certainly is Great..

This video was clearer than the previous one and I heard and could see in more detail. Josh seemed in awe of you and you certainly got a standing O from the crowd. Well done Anastasia and good luck in the future. You have a beautiful voice.
Anastasia, you are an amazing young lady, SO BRAVE to get up there with Josh and you sing beautifully. You have lots of support from this fellow Wisconsinite!! I can't wait to hear more from you!
:) Thank You Beth, much appreciated. It was one of those moments you are scared stiff, but you just do what you have to do. :) ~Anya~
I loved this! Josh Groban has such a wonderful personality and he is always looking for people who want to sing on stage with him. Takes a lot of courage, but he lets the individuals showcase their talent and the audience loves it.
He Truly is a Fan Favorite.. he even talks to folks after the concerts..
Thanks, ~Anastasia~
Cathie Novak -
Excellent duet. Josh was very sweet and you were spectacular. Nice job Anastasia.
Still brings tears to my eyes - Love Mom
Love you too, Mom.
A woman just screamed and nearly blew my eardrum! Warning if you are wearing your earphones.
I read your warning while listening to the freaking scream😖💩
yeah yeah too late to read 😂
Why do women have to scream out like drunken whores? It's not necessary....
That was just beautiful, Anastasia! You are so talented and very lucky to be able to sing with Josh!
Many Thanks Rebecca for those thoughts !

You have a lovely voice, Anastasia. Wow i'm jealous! Josh is such a sweetheart.
Beautiful Anastasia Lee! I'm not an opera fan but your voice is awesome! I'm applauding your moment of a lifetime with Josh Groban.
With best wishes and love from Canada, Evy
P.S. It is NOT "9 dislikes" that we see, merely wincing jealousy! Get used to it. It will follow you everywhere.
