**He Melts Me**

By Sharon Benson
I have followed Josh since his first year. Although he has been criticized for some of his choices, I have loved everything he has done. Some things may have taken more time for me to understand and love, but in the end, I've not been disappointed. By far, Josh has the best, purest, and most beautiful voice of any I have listened to across the board. I always come back to his music. I wish I could find even better words to describe his voice. These just do not seem to do it justice...
I wasn't sure about him trying so hard to expand his range into the upper register, but I have found that he does it well. Even if each note isn't the strongest, he does reach the note, and he continues to improve. And the bonus for me: I get to actually sing my forte which is soprano, instead of alto to match his baritone/tenor. He has amazing range!
And now, the added *live* songs that are gorgeous and done with such flair and finesse.......well truly, I love nothing better than to sit in a quiet, serene, low-lit room (or even my car at midnight after work).....earbuds in.......and let Josh sing to me! ; )
*An added note: I own all the albums and the songs on this album....but I love these live versions, and will purchase this album too.
Wasted talent

Unfortunately Josh has taken the easy way out on his new vocals. He has a great voice, but to save himself from having to live up to that great voice live, he's starting singing A LOT in his falsetto. This way he doesn't have to worry about singing full voice in concert on those glorious high notes that he CAN hit, but is too nervous to have to live up to.
He is a terrific talent, but to honor great talent he should push himself to live up to it. And none of these songs are all that spectacular. They are ok, but I agree with David Foster - when Josh is in his own "lane" no one does it better. When he tries to emulate singer/songwriters like Paul Simon and others, he comes up short. These songs are not his best.
His singing on his Christmas CD was spectacular. These are just ok. Josh - push yourself to live up to your gifts.
Better than album

These songs here are better than the studio album. The bass is deeper for one. Also, and much more importantly, Josh is singing with fuller emotion in front of this live audience. It makes the original studio recordings feel over-rehearsed.
Amazing concert

I was at this concert in the Apple store in SOHO and it was a great concert! He has such an amazing, pure voice. It was nice seeing him live!
A real singer-no techo tricks!

I've been 20 feet away from this guy during a small live show and the resonance and depth of his voice sent vibrations through my body. Several times during the show there was an audible gasp from the audience. Josh's studio albums are amazing but his live recordings capture the energy and emotion and clarity of his voice even better. This download is essential for fans or lovers of vocal music in general! I would love to see more live shows captured this way.
His amazing music.

I really enjoy his work. especially when he did " Cinco presents groban sings casey", a beautiful tribute to casey tatum, who's life was tragically cut short. R.I P, casey tatum!
Simply perfection!

Rubin + Baritone Beaut= Perfection

This is an amazing album as it is live from the Apple Store. Josh Groban's voice resonates within your soul and awakens your senses. Once again, the lyrics are relevant and speak to the listener as Josh tugs at ones heart strings.
Josh Groban is one of the most talented individuals in the music business. I was a bit trepadacious when I learned Josh broke from Foster, but the combination of Groban and Rubin proved to be an excellent combination.
I highly recommend purchase of this performance as it is most defiantly a representation of some of Groban's greatest works.
i love this ... Brilliant

Listening to these tracks actually has a new york feel to it. It actually makes me feel i'm back in NY .. obviously everything about Josh Groban's voice is perfection. Very few artists can compare. Everyone should buy these EP .. it kicks butt.
