I bought this CD mainly because I was going to be dancing with my son at his wedding to "You Raise Me Up," and wanted to have the music. I have Josh Groban's first CD and love it and this one. I at first thought that I wouldn't like his foreign language songs, but they are wonderful, moving, even though I may not understand the words. Josh's voice transcends words...perfect!!

Such an uplifting song that sends chills throughout your entire body! Everybody should hear this song!

Love Groban's voice. Very disappointed that it is one verse with the chorus repeated 4 times. This song was written with 2 verses. You'd do better to get the version by Selah.

A great CD! If you like Josh Grogan you'll love this CD! Especially the title song, "You Raise Me Up" He has one of the truly great voices in the business today!

Down load failed and now I am paying for a song I don't have. Down load failed for three other songs as well.

It's difficult to verbalize how wonderful this song is. He has the perfect voice and shares the perfect message.

When it has honestly came down to Josh Groban, he just has shown one of the noblest voices in the music industry in a very long time. Yet, he just has never been able to top one of his biggest songs from 2003, You Raise Me Up. The song is definitely very uplifting, and shows a strength in the simplest voice that many artists just haven't been able to show in their brightest lights. I really hope that one day, Josh can really deliver something as beautiful as this song showed very soon. We really don't have distinctive voices out there right now.

Song: B+

Josh Groban has an incredible voice and this CD is well worth the money - it is timeless!

An operatic quality lyric baritone male voice for our time on a par with Enrico Caruso, and a nice guy. Talk about humble... "you raise me up"? Geez, fella.

First of all, this is at least the third cover of this song, as it was originally done by an Irish group, while Groban is (I'm pretty sure) Italian. And while Groban does have a good voice (it's more of a very mature acquired taste), his songs are boring, and inspirational. This song also sounds like the producer was heavily involved making this, rather than the artist. And due to the undue success of this song from saps who need a little lifting up, the inspirational genre is now a big sappy industry. And what's bad is, it has zero substance. Sure the lyrics, good gosh the lyrics, I mean, anybody can write these songs, but all the great ones don't because it's unoriginal. I mean if this song helps you, great. But for the rest of us that only care about great music, the song is only ok.

Overall, if you're a sappy soccer mom who needs a little lifting and inspiration in your life, buy the song, otherwise, don't support this genre any longer. Please!
