Josh sang this song at his Stages concert in Toronto on Sept 22, 2015 and I can only describe his performance as stunning and flawless. Part of what made his performance so great was not only his voice but the stance he took. He buttoned up his suit jacket, threw his shoulders back and stood tall. The way he presented himself while singing the song totally matched the words he was singing. Together with the choir he sang with, the finale of the song awe inspiring.

It's interesting listening to Josh then, and Josh now. His voice has matured, but there's an edge and an intensity in the early days that he doesn't have now - it's all smooth and rich now. Hard to know which I prefer, but I love them both.

If Josh Groban was the star of the Los Angeles Opera or Metropolitan Opera, he would play operatic baritone roles such as Marcello in La boheme, Count Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro, Morales in Carmen, Figaro in The Barber of Seville, Valentin or Wagner in Faust and Papageno in The Magic Flute.

@LankySpotlighter93 : It conveys emotion, depth in the music. One composer even wrote his music with one of the strings of the lead violinist tuned off by half a note. It can enhance a feeling of melancholy. In this particular recording, the criticism of the flute was that it was "painful"... in light of the feeling invoked by the lyrics, what a wonderful addition! If intended, it is actually a touch of genius.

For some reason, I like the fact that the only real difference between their suits and Josh’s is the tie color- or at least that’s how the lighting makes it look. Don’t know if that’s standard procedure for backup singers and the primary performer, but somehow it just works.

Besides Josh, there are, for example, Michael Ball, Julian Ovenden and Ramin Karimloo, and they are as good as Körberg, but in different ways. And I love listening to all of them! \o/
