Dare to Live - Andrea Bocelli and Laura Pausini

There is "one truth", but the rhyming is nice....

Otherwise love the lyrics, voices, and arrangement.

Thanks for reading,

Evgeni Plushenko

The King of Ice...artist and athlete.

This is one of my favorite performances...

Although Andrea Bocelli and Plushenko together is pretty hard to beat!

Thanks for watching,

Blue Christmas - Elvis and Bocelli :-)

I love this song. It was a favorite of my Grandma's (especially when my Grandpa was in the army).

Anyways...I love it. These are two different and wonderfully perfect performances. ;-)

I like Elvis Presely's version by himself best, but this one is good too. :-)

And of course I love Andrea Bocelli's... :-)

I've been enjoying all the Christmas music!

Thanks for looking,

Vivo Per Lei - Andrea Bocelli

Italian

With Giorgia

This is the original version released in Bocelli's album, Romanza.

Italian/German.

Judy Weiss doesn't have my favorite voice in the world, but this is a pretty awesome duet.

Italian/Spanish

with Martha Sanchez...I'm not a fan of how she sings this, but she does have some pretty songs.

Italian/French

It's interesting with the choir in the background.

With a Brazilian Portuguese singer.

Sandy seems a little more innocent and I like her voice. The sound isn't great in this video. :-P

Italian/English

Three things I love-- Haley Westenra, ice skating, and Andrea Bocelli.

I have watched this video so many times it's crazy.

So yeah...Vivo Per Lei is awesome.

Hope you enjoyed,
Miss Pickwickian

The Lord's Prayer - Andrea Bocelli

Ignore the Christmas cover. :-)



Sigh. Beautiful.

I hope that refreshed you. It always has that effect on me.

Josh Groban is Josh Groban

Duh...
Actually, there is more to this post. ;-)

My sister got Josh Groban's original album, Josh Groban, this year for her birthday. We've been listening to it a lot. Really. Like a lot.
And that's cool. I like it. Josh Groban is great in his realm. He has a seriously amazing voice and some of his songs are over the top. Love 'em.

But I am not a Josh Groban fan. I think the hype is starting to wear off, but I know a lot of people got turned away from his music by the crazy Grobanite fans. I confess I've been very tempted, but that's a bad reason to ignore a talented musician.

I enjoy how Josh Groban mixes classical and almost opera type quality to some of the pop music he sings. He certainly fills a unique place.

If you've been reading you know I am an Andrea Bocelli fan. :-)

Beka, a dear friend, compared the two singers very well (and she really likes both).
Josh Groban is milk chocolate, Andrea Bocelli is dark...at least 72%. Josh Groban is a young man, Andrea Bocelli is da man.

Yeah, anyways... Both have excellent talent.

Here's some videos with some pretty top quality milk chocolate. ;-) These are my three favorite Josh Groban songs.


Sorry about the creepy woman.... Couldn't find another video.

I sing to life! Awesome!
See translation for the entire song here.


Talk about dramatic?
Okay...You are allowed to be made sick by his fans. Gag...
This is 2007 in the hype of the Groban craze. Since then I think he's learned a little more grace and humility during stage performance. ;-)

If you can't stand it all, just listen. It's beautiful!


Love this song. Love, love, love!
After having said that, I think its a little romanticized... And I don't even like Van Gogh's art.
Sister says Vincent is my secret soul mate. ;-) Don't think so...

But I love this song!


Thanks for reading. Hopefully this added some beauty to your day!

Canto Della Terra and Bellissime Stelle - Andrea Bocelli

Andrea Bocelli has an amazing voice. :-) Here is a video of "Canto Della Terra" from 2000 and "Bellismie Stelle" from 2007. This hall in "Canto Della Terra" is AMAZING! We currently only own his album My Christmas and its about time to put it away...can't wait until next Christmas! :-)

I love the instrumentals on his album Amore and the songs are so beautiful, however some of the translations aren't particularly edifying. The acoustic guitar really adds a lot on that album I think. I also love his version of "The Prayer" with Josh Groban, but I couldn't find a good recording of it on the web. Its interesting to hear their voices side by side too to see there differences. (Especially when my sister likes Josh Groban over Andrea Bocelli!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I really enjoy hearing all the different music Bocelli does. He's has such a wide range and sings with so many different artists.





Enjoy!
