You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban) | Vocal Coach Reacts

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

For even more pop-focused cross over singers, check out my reaction to Can't Help Falling In Love performed by Andrea Bocelli! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a522fqSpfa2KedU

[@birdnerd730]

Fun fact, kinda answering your question. Josh trained as a musical theatre performer, which is likely why he sings with so much vibrato.

[@thinuviel07]

His voice is a warm velvet blanket on a rainy day. A hug that holds my falling pieces.

[@ebonikemp3285]

Exactly this! Perfect description

[@birdnerd730]

Got to meet Josh Groban at the stage door after a performance of Sweeney Todd he starred in. Not only did he sign my playbill, but I got to talk to him briefly. I told him that he was my favorite singer and that it was incredible to see him live. He told me “I can’t wait to see you on stage someday.” I don’t know how he knew I was a performer, but that was the most inspiring thing anyone has ever said to me. As a 17 year old who wants to be Broadway someday, all I have to do when I feel bad is think about his words to me. I will never forget his kindness.

[@spacefanatic]

Love Josh Groban and he should be more popular than he is as his voice is fantastic. He can do opera to pop. You should listen to his rendition of 'O Holy Night' which is stupendous and the best version ever.

[@67Second]

Yes, his vibrato. And his voice has that not so common extra timbre. But also while he's not particularly a big guy he has a big guy vocal cavity and he just resonates beautifully. And he's really well trained.

[@margaretl3m1]

thank you so much for reviewing josh groban! it was on my bucket list to see him and i was able to do it when he was on tour with idina menzel!

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@trey206]

How do you not like Josh Groban...like honestly how?? He is one of the most talented male vocalists of the 20th & 21st Century...

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

It’s true!

[@SuperDespondent]

I agree

[@cathrynclark5287]

Loved your review...Josh Groban is so classically trained that it is a joy to listen and watch. Also, I think part of his appeal is his sincerity in all that he does. You feel in the moment of his lyrics. .... He is believable when he sings and not to mention such a wonderful and caring person in real life. .... Wish I could go and see Sweeney Todd. That show must be fantastic.

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

I wish I could see it too.

[@radicalreactions1633]

He's NOT classically trained, it's a natural talent with a little coaching thrown in.

[@darenwinckler7027]

He has a very "unique" voice. But its one of my favorite voices ! Thats why I look forward to hearing him on the radio during Christmas time, with O'holly night 😌

[@lorriredmon8212]

I saw him several years ago. THIS song had me bawling like a baby. He's one of my very favorite singers. Then came Mitch Grassi... oh dear! They are both singers that I don't worry if they're going to make the note. It's a given. His voice feels effortless, comfortable, and creamy.

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

JB is one of the greats, that's for sure!

[@Larry.cupcaks]

I have no word to describe his voice!!! Angely, velvet, crystal clear, the voice of old friend on Christmass morning... I'm so proud that I'm his fan for 20 years! Twenty years ago... It seems like it was just yesterday. I was a teenager. I didn't go to school that day and I was sleeping under a blanket. At that time we had a video recorder... Between sleeping and waking up, the voice of an angel caressed my ear! I felt like I was becoming weightless and floating in the air! I jumped up, I shouted to my sister "record it!! Record it!!!" It was the music video of "you raise me up"...

[@sandraboogaard5720]

In our home we love the voice and songs of Josh Groban. When the kids were little we played it in the car during long rides and the kids loved it too. We once attended a concert and it was lovely. His voice is like blanket, it embraces you with its softness.

[@melbanton]

I love Josh Groban. Hope to hear more from him. PTX fan too.

[@garrettc4810]

I love the information and technical aspects that you share. Makes me look at singing in a whole new way.

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

I’m so happy to hear it! I want to make singing as easy and as accessible to people as possible

[@JOSLINANCY54]

Sincere, powerful, wonderful, very clear his range is amazing.

[@ashleyfanfic]

Perfect. That’s how you describe his voice

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

He is an amazing singer! What’s your fave Groban song?

[@susanpeterson9947]

Josh’s voice always makes me feel peaceful. I’m sure it’s partly his voice and partly his choice of songs. I have been a fan for years. I’m a new subscriber, KZbin recommended your channel to me because I am a huge fan of Pentatonix and you recently reacted to their Hallelujah. I hope to see you react to more Josh, PTX and any other favorite singers we may have in common.

[@papamoose13]

he is what I call "a goosebump" singer , very few singers male or female have that quality, Karen Carpenter, Whitney Houston, Josh etc.....

[@barbaragoodwin5799]

Pentaholic here. Loved your reaction and your comments about enunciation. They all are great at this but in my opinion especially Mitch. Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace and The Prayer are perfect examples ❤

[@ludmilalupsa1523]

Warm and calming...i love him!!!!

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

He’s great!!

[@ludmilalupsa1523]

@@nickhiggsthesinger I love his albums, I love his songs, he is a real balm for the soul!!

[@marti9801]

Thank you very much for this interesting reaction. As a teenager Josh took singing lessons from a teacher in LA, Seth Riggs (Josh says he was in the Boy Scout with Riggs son), who worked with stars such as Natalie Cole, Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand and others (see Wikipedia). In 2002 (maybe even before) David Romano was his vocal couch for a few years. In an interview Romano said that Josh chose classical training in lessons. (here is a short interview with Romano gushing over Josh’s ability kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYOnf3ucbbJ-a6c). Josh never sang opera. He did some “pop” duets with opera sings like Bocelli (We will meet once again) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJibcmZmlp2njq8 or Placido Domingo “La tua semplicita” ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqvKmpiGmbF6qLM or the chanson “Sous le ciel de Paris“ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYCVfnl5gbaJndk BTW, Josh is now the demon barber of Fleet Street on Broadway!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH_Zi62Brpuarbc His catalog has many different styles. Here are a few of my favourites for people who like to check him out: Awake kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn2aYo2XZbCjp8k Alla Luce Del Sole kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaaalntmodGlmJI Impossible Dream kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWHYha1tqtqlbqs Bigger than us kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHzKeImia8afq5o River kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6bSfKZ7pqujptE The World We Knew kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqvVi5uCfMyopLM Love only knows (live) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZojRmoGbl86Uq5o Machine with Herbie Hancock kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITamaqcrLmtp9k Per Te kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5KkhqeDqrusetk 99 Years with Jennifer Nettles kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPdZp95rZ54o7M Remember (live) from the movie Troy kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCYgmiHjNd9fa8 The Mystery of Your Gift (feat.

[@CaresinVerse]

Warm and genuine; melodic and sincere. Josh Groban is the best of the best in my mind and in my heart.

[@graysmom08]

The first time i ever heard Josh Groban was when he sand You Raise Me Up on Oprah. My sister recorded it for me because she thought i would like it. I loved it, i cried then went out immediately and bought the album. He's about as close to perfect as you can get.

[@marylucy8651]

The most gorgeous baritone ever!

[@johnpinegar8027]

I love Josh Groban. He is AMAZING in concert. His voice is like a piece of fine silk. ❤. I have had the privilege of singing this song in a few weddings and I always get choked up right before the key change for some reason when singing it. I use to not like my vibrato and now I embrace it because I learned it is not a flaw. I use to years ago but not any more.

[@KarenDutra-b1l]

Just beautiful! Love!

[@MasterBaker01]

Josh is the reason why i became a singer.. But every time he goes to my country for a concert, something devastating happens to me, or someone close to me. His first concert - Dad had an aneurysm the day of his concert. His second concert - I got hospitalized.... both of those times, i bought a ticket to watch him. Both of those times, didn't get to watch him live. haha! He's only been here twice btw. lol

[@larubia-se5800]

Angelic, calm or Heavenly ❤

[@sheriraemalfroid-patterson2935]

His voice is hauntingly beautiful

[@markcall1982]

He has a clean and warm sounding vocal with the right amount of highs. So Operatic. Smooth Like Dean Martin.

[@rebeccalind8715]

Perfection ❤❤

[@raeannnorell1044]

Clear, excellent pitch; really like his songs in foreign languages as well. "pop/classical" genre? perhaps "classical/pop" ?

[@sarinagold1869]

Loved your vowel modification tip!!!

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hayleydavison6373]

I think he has an incredible voice, my favourite song is remember when it rained. ❤

[@trudywolfe2795]

Alto... Tenor...Bass...his voice is heavenly.

[@averagetwist8849]

Josh Groban is my favorite singer

[@kerriesuestahl9972]

His voice is on the verge of operatic. His concert is still my favorite. He didn't sing You Raise Me Up until the third encore.

[@YG36273]

Hey Nick! Big fan of the channel here. I’ve been watching you for awhile and notice how reacting to Jewish music are the videos that go viral for you. I’m Jewish myself and so I would like to suggest to react to “Shiru L’Hashem” by Shalsheles Junior , as it’s a great song to analyse and I think would do great for your channel. Either way have a great day and best of luck‼️

[@patriciareichel3233]

Ich singe gerne. Nur für mich selbst und doch, lerne ich gerne dazu. Es macht wirklich Spaß dir zuzuhören und etwas zu lernen. 🥰

[@raeannnorell1044]

Again love this video. I'm a violinist, this may be a "dumb" question, but do women ever sing, or need to sing in "falsetto" to get a better tone on a high note?

[@ruggedascent]

Josh Groban was ascending a grand staircase during a concert in Toronto a number of years ago.. and tripped up the stairs... oops. What a pro, though. Barely a blip before he caught himself and kept singing!

[@OfeliaJumaquio]

I love Josh voice warn tender his great!!!

[@gretchenhickey7745]

A rare combo of bright and resonant, at times a bit pleasantly....tinny? in his middle range.

[@nick2holz522]

It’s actually Bb4 at the top with the last verse in Gb major

[@kminpersonal7999]

I love Josh since “To Where You Are” Would you please react more Josh Groban (my favorite are ‘Remember When It Rained’ live performance and Josh Groban in Concert 2002, Thanks

[@SonictrainkidDoesFurryStuff]

9:24 AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@Fairland3]

His voice is so rich!

[@aleth017]

Would you try with Anthem? (Chess the musical)… and maybe Pity the child with Adam Pascal also from chess

[@1oskarj]

I would love if you make a reaction video to a recoding of Dido ans Aeneas, Z.626 / Act 3. „Thy hand, Belinda When I am Laid to earth!“ by Henry Purcell. It’s one of my absolute favourite pieces of music! I love the recording with Jessye Norman.

[@ritawebb1994]

Very interesting I enjoyed your show

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@barbaro4evr135]

I call his sound rich, his voice is rich (not in the bling bling sort of way🤣). Have you done any reactions to the bass gang? Your commenting on the difference between bass baritone and tenor really makes me want to see your reaction to them, because Tomi P and Peter Barber especially, can hit low low notes but they can also get way up there (especially Tomi P)!

[@sarinagold1869]

Your great 👍 thank you!

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

Happy to help!

[@AleGluck90]

he es a classical crossover singer or popopera

[@tommtommkin]

Angel.

[@johnbalao9582]

Clear, smooth, and powerful

[@andhikasetiawan716]

I think he has a clear voice in low tone.

[@nietmijnprobleem]

the song is actually Norwegian: it's written by Secret Garden. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXnTqJWebtGrrrs

[@elinadoff5623]

He’s the male Celine dion

[@rodrigolara6733]

His voice changed compared to a few years ago, but he can still sing good.

[@elprofeamado8646]

Josh ❤ plis reaction of may it be by Enya

[@smp_legendary4421]

Personally I dont think the high A4 in the keychange sounded all that great. Sure he hit the pitch but it sounded very strained and nassaly as if he brought the sound too forward. Everything else was great tho! I just think that was a bit much for him.

[@tonidh69]

Who doesn't like Josh Groban?

[@jeanaporrin5662]

Classify Tim Foust voice 😂

[@jasonaugustine3370]

Well he’s no Taylor Swift😆

[@Kazeemi2810]

Not bad, but Selah do it sooo much better 🐨🐨

[@jasonaugustine3370]

Effortless
