YOU ARE LOVED (DON'T GIVE UP)






I am sure quite a number of you would have heard the first song over the radio or seen the video clip on television. The singer has a very beautiful and powerful voice. I actually became a fan of his about five years ago when I first heard him sing on Ally McBeal. The singer of this inspiring song is only 25 years old. The song featured in the first video clip is titled, "You are loved (Don't give up)" and the second video clip features him singing "You raise me up". I am doing a post on him because I find that he is a good example for young people. Besides being blessed with heavenly vocals and a massive dose of talent, he has also set up a charitable foundation for the needy. Most of the songs that he sings are inspirational and carry strong messages. So ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Josh Groban.

Joshua Winslow Groban (born February 27, 1981) is an American singer known for his mature and versatile lyrical baritone voice. His musical style ranges from classical to pop. When singing a pop song, Josh Groban has been described by a music reviewer as possessing one of the most impressive, technically skilled voices in all of pop music. On an inspiring song like "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)," there is a majesty that sweeps the listener up in pure emotion. No wonder he is called "The Voice".
Josh Groban burst on to the international music scene in 2001 with the release of his self-titled debut album featuring the hit single, "To Where You Are." His follow up CD "Closer" with the smash hit "You Raise Me Up" brought enormous success to the young singing sensation. He has made scores of television appearances beginning with Ally McBeal and continuing with countless performances on Oprah Winfrey, Good Morning America, The Today Show, two PBS specials, the Superbowl, the Oscars and the closing ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics with an audience of over 2 billion people. His first PBS Special went on to become the No. 1 selling DVD of 2002. On the touring front, Groban started out his now legendary 40-city concert tour (which sold out in a record breaking 20 minutes) and then went straight forward to a two year arena tour across the US. A Josh Groban tour for 2007 is expected to be announced shortly.
