Josh Groban -- who's his target audience?

I have his albums. I love his voice. Some of his songs are great and some just meh. I went to one of his concerts with my teenaged daughter and we both had fun.

Middle-aged white woman, who’s never been one of the cool kids anyway and really doesn’t give a damn.

I’m with Suse, especially that last bit. I do love his voice but I don’t listen to him all the time. I agree with Lightray about “O’ Holy Night” one of my favorite Christmas songs that cannot be sung by everyone but he does it perfectly.

I also introduced him to my mother, who loved him even more.

Although his regular stuff is rather dire, his version of “O, Holy Night” is nothing short of amazing. He’s one of the few singers who actually have the voice to take on that song.

… Unfortunately, led me to getting his CD, which was coma-inducing saccharine in aural form. But check out him on “O, Holy Night” when come the holidays.

Are you sure you’re responding to his voice and not to the song itself? He’s got a nice enough voice, and capable of doing justice to that song, but there’s absolutely no depth to that performance. It seemed like he was reading from a prompter, and was clueless as to the meaning of the song.

I’ve got one of his CDs. It makes for nice background music, when I don’t have to pay much attention to what I’m hearing. He could be a great singer if he grew some balls.
