There are worse things in life than making your acting debut on the much ballyhooed season finale of Ally McBeal, though teen operatic baritone Josh Groban doesn't seem destined to encounter them anytime soon. As the awkward high school student-client who asks the typically romance-jinxed Ally to his senior prom, Groban performed this debut album's "You're Still You" (adapted from film-composing legend Ennio Morricone's Academy Award-nominated score for Malèna, with lyrics by Linda Thompson) as a heart-tugging, literal showstopper. The young phenom was just 17 when veteran producer-writer David Foster tapped him to fill in for Andrea Bocelli at rehearsals for the 1999 Grammys, where Groban found himself suddenly dueting with Celine Dion. Indeed, such were his fortunes that the young Foster protégé was forced to drop out of Carnegie Mellon when professional commitments--including this record--interfered. And if this collection tends to hew sometimes uncomfortably close to Foster's own MOR sonic instincts, the material offers enough challenges to display Groban's talent and the potential of his warm, mature voice: a lyrical take on another Morricone classic, "Cinema Paradiso"; melancholy readings of Don McLean's "Starry, Starry Night" and Albert Hammond's "Alejate"; masterfully dramatic takes of the Neapolitan "Alla Luca Del Sole" and "Canto Alla Vita," the latter featuring the Corrs. Many of Groban's performances here, including a neo prog-rock-opera take on Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (with Lili Haydn), seem both bigger and bolder than their precious musical frameworks, a telling hint that Grand Opera can't be far from his grasp. As said earlier, there are worse things in life. --Jerry McCulley

 Years after its release, still a favorite October 22, 2009
J.Wixon (PA United States)
Several years ago I was driving into work late at night and heard this most beautiful voice on the radio. I took note of the name and later the next day looked up this "Josh Groban" on the internet. I thought for sure it was some tenor I had somehow overlooked in all my music listening years..when I found out it was a young man with that voice it truely shocked me!
If for some reason you don't have this CD or haven't listened to this music hurry up and get this..from Gira to Jesu and the lovely other songs on this track you will be swept away by the calming, uplifting, perfectly done songs.
I think Jesu has to be my favorite song of all time.
 English? September 30, 2009

It's beautiful. I would have given it 5 stars, BUT the information about the CD should have said the songs are in Italian and not in English. Italian song titles don't necessarily mean the songs aren't in English. I'll be sure to listen to all the samples before I buy another of his CD's.

The cd came sooner than anticipated and it is great listening. I plan to buy from this seller again. Great service.
Amazing! July 1, 2009

As with all of Josh Groban's other albums, I was blown away by his voice and the songs.
Many of the songs on this album are in other languages, and even though I don't speak Italian or French, the songs are still enjoyable.
This is one of Josh Groban's best albums!!
 Don't think I ever received it June 21, 2009

I ordered this for a friend who lost her husband during the visiting, and funeral following the news of his death. I never received it, and had forgotten about it until hearing from this site. I can't really fault the vender as things were so topsy turvy during that time, that I may have received it and missplaced it. I have owed the CD for a few years, and thought she would like #5 on the album.
