My daughter graduated with Josh from the Los Angeles County HS for the Arts. It was a wonderful school. Josh was a great kid.

Very nice. Wish he didn’t use quite so much vibrato, makes him sound more like a singer from the 30’s or 40’s, but still quite delightful.

Wish there were more performers making beautiful music these days. Seems to be in rather short supply.

Kristin Chenoweth did a really nice version in the otherwise forgettable film, “Deck the Halls.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be on YouTube.

I'm so disconnected with popular culture, I'd never heard of this guy until tonight. What a treat! What an utterly effortless performance. I've seen Beverly Sills, Sutherland, and Fischer-Dieskau live and close up. None had an instrument like this guy.

Classical purists (I would have counted myself as one until I heard him sing) will probably complain about some of his poppish inflections. Don't matter. Groban is the finest pure singer I have ever heard.

FWIW my Christmas fav's this year are:

1: "All I Get for Christmas is Blue" Over the Rhine

2. "Fatty Claus" Cledus T Judd

which I can't find on youTube for some reason, but it's a holiday traditional sing-a-long at the Barking Moonbat Bar where I hang. Here are some of the - edited - lyrics.

\ Here come Fatty with a sack of Shxx
Here come Fatty with a sack of Shxx
Here come Fatty with a sack of Shxx
And all those stinkin' reindeer.

Well I believe in Santy Claus
I believe that he's a prXXX
And though he comes but once a year
It's enough to make me sick
Him and his Christmas spirit
Are a lotta bunk
I'll have to bust my axx
for another year
To pay for all this junk

and so on with my favorite chorus something like:

Here' comes Fatty with his ho, ho, ho's
And there my money all go, go, go's
I'd like to punch him in his big, red nose
And make him wish he'd never come here

Josh was a great kid.

Was?...he IS a great kid, with an awesome voice to boot!
It looks like he is going to give Andrea Bocelli the run for the money....just kidding.

I am so happy that we finally are getting fine replacements for the likes of Luciano!
