I watched Josh Groban on “Larry King Live” last Friday December 14(and the rerun on 12/15) as he sang “The Christmas Song”. I liked this performance better than “Regis and Kelly” because it was more “stripped down”: Josh sang by himself without a choir in the background. It was a bit more simple and that is the kind of Josh performance I like. I just read that he has the best selling album of 2007 with “Noel” so I want to congratulate him. Although it was not my favorite Josh cd (my favorite cd by him would be “Closer”), it was pretty good. No one released a better cd this year (except for Lifehouse) and I’d sooner have a Christmas cd from Josh than from anyone else (except for Lifehouse, again). Josh has really helped me get through the holiday season with his music , particularly this year. Josh just has a truly amazing voice; one of the best singers in the world. He is truly gifted. Congratulations, Josh and best of luck to you and I look forward to your return to my city very soon 
Recently heard Lifehouse’s version of the Christmas classic “Silent night” on my Yahoo! radio stations. It is quite good. Lifehouse did a nice job on it. But I’d have preferred for them to do a Christmas song like ” O Holy night” where frontman Jason Wade could really use his voice. He has an awesome voice, too, and could have pulled off that song. He is also one of the best singers in the world and very gifted and talented. I congratulate him and his bandmates, Rick and Bryce, also on an incredible album with “Who we are” and wish them the best of luck . I look forward to hearing more from them and to them coming back to my town very soon, too.
