Customer Reviews


5 stars Excellent
We love his music. My husband took me to this concert. He was excellent and a real nice guy. Keep it up!!!!!


5 stars Still Has It!
After two best-selling albums, one begins to wonder if Josh Groban is becoming stagnant. Upon listening to record number three, "Awake", the answer is a resounding 'No!' The young singer with the voice who has captured the world still has it, and the album is proof that he is determined to continue on a journey of personal and professional growth.

Unlike Josh's first two albums, "Awake" is a mixture of different music styles. Yes, his more "classic" fare is still here, as evidenced by songs like 'Mai' and 'Un Dia Llegara'. However, even when singing in a foreign language, his songs are beginning to take on a more radio-friendly vibe. 'L'Ultima Notte' features a drum kit, and 'Solo por Ti' is led by an acoustic guitar.

In addition to more pop-like songs, the album stands out because of the number of English-language tracks on it. Four of these were co-written by Groban himself, and they add to the multi-dimensional aspect of the album. 'You are Loved (Don't Give Up)' is similar to some of his Italian-language pieces in its soarching orchestral arrangement, while 'February Song' and 'In Her Eyes' are more radio-friendly.

However, the most outstanding track (for me, at least) is 'Un Giorno per Noi (Romeo e Giulietta)'. On this track, Josh records the heart-breaking 'A Time for Us' from the film "Romeo and Juliet", albeit in Italian. The violin and Groban's soaring vocals make the tune resonate the themes of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy.

"Awake" is truly a masterpiece album, a definite continuation in the personal and professional journey Josh Groban has emerged on since releasing his self-titled album seven years ago. He has matured, finding his own sound in many languages, collaborating with a variety of different artists and, as always, allowing that voice to captivate.


1 stars Wrong product sent
The wrong product was sent and the seller was unable to be contacted. I was very disappointed in the service.


2 stars No direction, a mix bag.
Without David Foster to give him direction, Josh just sing (with good voice) but let face it, his artistic level is still not mature yet!

He just like a nice kid who do well whe there is guidance. He sang with little emotion compared with Lara Fabian singing a same song(example: "Broken Vows", also the theme song in the movie "The spirit within". Don't get me wrong, he has a wonderful voice as a vehicle nut he hasn't mature as an artist yet! Please guide him in the next album, somebody!


5 stars Amazing!
This is an amazing CD if you are a Josh Groban Fan. Even if you are not, it is a good way to hear a diverse selection of his amazing voice. It is a great CD.
