Josh Groban…song stylings need more passion!
Posted by: Julian Ayrs on: September 28, 2008
In the “overrated” section of the LA TIMES which appears in the weekend edition of the daily paper, writers were inclined to rate Josh Groban’s rendition of a handful of theme songs he warbled on the 60th Annual Emmy Awards show, as somewhat “cheesy”.
Not terribly off the mark.
To many, he is a bit of a God in the musical arena, though.
True, many of his fans are turned on by the beautiful timber of his voice.
And, there’s no denying there is a distinctive resonance, that tends to cause the notes to fall blissfully upon the ear.
But, for me, Groban’s voice sounds too “trained”.
If the handsome crooner would let go of the rigid musical foundation he builds his song stylings on – and simply sing from the heart – his touch would be far more reaching.
Give it a shot, Josh.
You may end up a better singer for having taken the musical risk!

Dear Jerusha:
Comments have to be approved first.
The ones written by morons on this post, never made the cut, unfortunately.
However, on a second post that went up today, some remarks made by Josh’s fans were published.
Go to that blog post and you can read ‘em.
At least those musings made some sense and exhibited a bit of levity and self-awareness.
Later,
Julian
