On Wednesday night (early Thursday 5/1 ) 4/30, I watched one of my favorite singers Josh Groban on "Late Night with David Letterman". Let me say again, first of all, he IS one of my favorite singers. I have seen him in concert twice. I have been a fan of his since his album "Closer" (still my favorite Josh album). I do appreciate the fact that he puts his heart into his concerts and gives 110% in his performances. I appreciate that he has genuine talent: not only singing, but singing in various languages, and playing the drums and piano. I have never met him but he seems to be a nice, down-to-earth, genuine, (as well as good looking )young man. But I was kind of let down by his performance on "David Letterman". He did not, in my opinion, sing as strong as I've seen him do. Also, the choir with him was rather unnecessary and choice of song "Weeping" was a little bit sad. He himself did not seem very happy. I have to ask: "what's up, Josh?" because I have to rate his "Letterman" appearance a "C+"; it is not the performance I'd hoped to see from him. I've seen better performances from him and where he was more upbeat. I know anyone can have an off-night once in a while and I hope in future appearances he will be performing as well as I'm accustomed to seeing him. I also like it better when Josh is singing solo--without other voices. I think his voice does not need any help.
