Stunningly Beautiful. Josh is King!, February 17, 2007
This review is from: With You (Audio CD)
An absolutely glorious CD. Some familiar songs and some new ones that are beyond gorgeous. I love "You're Still You" with the sweetly seductive feeling he creates. "Alejate" is as fabulous as on his other CDs, "Broken Vow" done live in concert always makes me cry he sings it so tenderly and his perfect tone continues to amaze and astound my ears. Josh's exquiste delivery of each song is always a revelation.
"When you say you love me" gets to the inner heart space where longing lives. His exquisite, lilting voice literally shimmers as he flows effortlessly up and down the scale of notes and you feel like you too can fly as he lifts you upward to that incomparable sense of freedom. "Per Te" and "Mi Morena" (live) two gorgeous and familiar songs delivered as only Josh can sing them with his deep understanding of the potent emotions that are conveyed in other languages.
"With you" has achingly beautiful lyrics, sung with sweet sincerity in perfect tone with the orchestral instruments that back him on this song and creates a sense of longing to achieve this sort of feeling in one's own life. I love the special orchestral FX on this song in particular.
Finally, "My Heart was home again" I love the celtic feeling and the poetry of this heartrendering song. As always his performance is stunningly, achingly beautiful. No one can compare to his magnificence. He is in a class of his own. 5 zillion stars for this artist. Truly, Josh reigns!

Beautiful, February 23, 2007
This review is from: With You (Audio CD)
Although I've heard and enjoyed a few of Josh Groban's songs on the radio, this was the first CD I bought. I made the mistake of listening to it for the first time while driving and his voice is so rich and lush that I had to resist closing my eyes to listen. His talent is such you almost melt while listening to his music.
It is difficult to reconcile such a mature voice from such a young man, especially given his ability to deliver the songs in such a heartfelt and meaningful way. I've listened to nothing else on my one hour (each way) commute for the past two days since purchasing the CD, with You're Still You and Broken Vow still my favorites. The Broken Vow was sung so flawlessly that I was stunned to discover it was recorded live when I heard the applause at the end. I plan to buy his other CD's, as this one was an appetizer that has left me wanting to hear more.

Limited Edition from Hallmark, January 13, 2007
This review is from: With You (Audio CD)
This CD has some of his most popular pieces. For the first time listeners, this would be a wonderful start to a collection. I have all his CD's but still am happy I bought this. One never gets tired of listening to his beautiful voice.
