Can you imagine being 17 and getting a call from David Foster who tells you he needs you to sing with Celine Dion and, oh yeah, you're filling in for Andrea Bocelli?
David Foster didn't tell the story right: he called Seth Riggs because he needed someone to sing at Gray Davies inauguration and Seth Riggs sent David 5 tapes. Josh sang there. Two weeks later, when they were at the Grammys and Andrea Bocelli might not make it, then he thought about Josh to sing if Andrea couldn't make it. Then he called Josh.
Josh is a gift from heaven, just love it

Tell you other's see greatness in us before us.
Tell you other's see greatness in us before us.
No matter how many times I hear the story, I love it. I am so glad David Foster found Josh Groban. A truly joyful gift to the world!
David Foster changed Josh Groban's life forever.
Yes. A star was born.
Josh Groban.
When his father was filming, a producer told him to stop he couldn't film in there. Rosie O'Donnell was hosting and told the producer to let him record his son. That's the only footage of him singing with Celine that day.

This world needs everything that is mentioned in this song right now. 🙏 I know a lot of people in this world, like me, are grieving for the world we used to live in post pandemic. Please, to anybody reading this, BE THE A LIGHT SO WE CAN DIMINSH THE DARKNESS IN THIS WORLD. God bless you and this world! 🙏
Josh by far is one of the best singers in the world! Thank you David for helping his career!
Thank you David for finding Josh Groban. I love his voice I have his music at home. I can listen to him all day long. What a beautiful gift he was given.
Celine was supposed to duet with Bocelli in the Grammys, but the problem was he didn't show up! So they found Josh Groban to duet with her instead!
@@neriashleycabajar1985 Bocelki showed up, he just missed the rehearsal, thankfully, and Josh was given this opportunity.
I love this story. Not only because it led to the discovery of such a talented singer, but also because if you look up how Bocelli was discovered; it was also due to a very interesting set of coincidences starting with an Italian singer, Zukero, wanting to do a pop/opera duet (Miserere) with Pavarotti, and using Bocelli as the demo voice to try to convince Pavarotti, who said “why do you need me for this when you have this guy?”
David Foster descovered Josh 2 weeks before this. David Foster asked Josh sang in governor Gray Davis' inauguration.
@@vervideosgiros1156 David Foster has discovered a huge amount of talent out there. If you haven’t had a chance to watch the DVDs An Evening with David Foster and Friends (1 and 2), I highly recommend it.
@@t1328 I've watched some David Foster's concerts from those David Foster and Friends, here in TH-cam. I'm a huge fan of Joshs., Josh is great! Yes, Zucchero gave Andrea Bocelli his big break; before that, he was just singing in bars. If you have talent and no one give you a big break you can't break through!
I didn't know thst is how he was discovered. Amazing.
when he was called to cover for our Andrea was only seventeen !!!! just a little more than a child !!!!!!
No matter how many times I hear "You Raise Me Up" I cry!!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!
Me too!
David has raised so many talents, he is the greatest of all
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz Am watching from Kenya in East Africa, glad to recieve a reply from You.
The first time I saw Josh was Ally Mcbeal tv series. When he sang that song I got goosebumps. Since then I love his songs.
Josh got that role on Ally McBeal because of the exposure from singing with Celine at the Grammys rehearsal. After he sang "You're Still You" on Ally McBeal, radio stations were inundated with requests for that song. There was no actual studio recording for radio DJs to use at the time so instead they just re-played the audio from the show episode over and over.
@user-vn7sj5ig8w : me too. I was just mesmerized by his voice .
Josh is now a legend. David is indeed a star maker.
Watch him in Cape Town in 2016, just pure GOD given talent, awesome.
The first time I saw Josh was on a PBS special with Charlotte Church. They sang “The Prayer” together and Josh blew me away. I’ve been following his career ever since. What a voice, what a talent.
Great joining of two wonderful voices Josh Groben and the great Celine Dion. What a glorious sound.
Love to hear his beautiful voice.😊😊
Same here. I saw the SLC Utah Winter Olympics performance
Josh groban is my favorite male vocal artist
Celine, a diva not acting like one by taking Josh under her wing.
Such a beautiful voice he has. Love his music. David Foster defiantly knows his stuff when it comes to great music.
Love Celine and Andrew, beautiful sung with humility. Priceless!
Wow Josh is beautiful and his voice is spectacular!
I remember when Celine Dion with Josh Groban filling in for Boicelli. It was electrifying! ♥♥♥
I remember very well when Celine & Josh sang together the first time.. & I said to myself his going to be a star!
This is an incredible story❤
What a beautiful gift God has given to Josh Groban.
"this is a song that will live forever" ❤❤❤
I love Josh Groban I love Celine Dion and I love Rosie O’Donnell this video is the best video on TH-cam
I have been lucky enough to see josh in concert the 3 times he has come to Australia. I remember it like it was yesterday when i first heard him, had just gotten to the last track on the new barbara streisand cd and she is singing this duet with him, he has been my favourite singer from this day until now xx
Josh Groban's voice is angelic. The moment you hear it makes your heart surge with love & peace. I have to see him live in concert. Loved this clip. Especially when Gosh says, 'how tight do my pants have to be to hit those notes?' Continued Blessings to him!
Emil Renan gave me the same opportunity. God Rest his soul! I was so young and afraid to be alone in Manhattan.
I cannot believe Josh Groban said no to David Foster! He must have been out of his mind! David had to call him back for this performance. That’s an opportunity that most singers can only dream about!
Plus his parents looking at him like he’d lost his mind….🤣👍♥
He probably said no to celine
ALSO, I must say I love Josh Groban - he is absolutely AWESOME!!!! He absolutely sounds like Andre!!!! FANTASTIC - SENDING LOTS OF LOVE YOUR WAY JOSH!!!!!
He doesn't. He sounds like Josh and Andrea sounds like Andrea.
David Foster may be the single greatest music mind of our entire generation.... if not ever!!!... He has so many ties to so many artists & songs, it's truly mind numbing!.... He got it wrong once tho.... When he heard Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" he told Richard to "stick to writing, bcuz u don't have a marketable voice".... Whoops!... lol.... .......Be well, do well & God bless y'all 🙏🏼🇺🇸
I love this story... 💜💜💜
Dreams do come true.
I first heard Josh Groban with To Where You Are. I remember thinking wow what a beautiful deep voice. My first concert with my now wife (not even girlfriend then), was Josh Groban.
Yes, To Where You Are was a big hit way back early 2000s. What a song!
David Foster Thank you ! Josh Groban , you are an ICON♥️🌹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
good job David foster
Josh has amazing voice in ❤
David you are a true Wizard❤
Josh is absolutely GORGEOUS! His voice, his smile, his personality, everything! Too bad he’s waaaay old for me T^T
Josh is so fantastic. I could listen to him all day every day.❤
Celine has the most beautiful, fantastic voice ever and Andre's voice there are simply no words! IT'S SIMPLY MAGICAL!!! BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES - SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG SUNG BY TWO WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!!!! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!
It's Andrea... Andrew in Italian.
It is so refreshing to see how people in the music craft collaborated and harboured one another's space together. This is the type of work which creates a song such as "The Prayer" which becomes an inevitable masterpiece of musical vocals. Thank you to David Foster, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, et al in the background. Namaste. 🦚
How many little musical diamonds are just waiting to be discovered......
Here's one for you. At the end of the movie 2012 is a music video of Adam Lambert siaging "Time for Miracles". It is amazing. The music video is also available on TH-cam.
I love both artists so much
I swoon when Josh sings. He warms my heart to no end!
David Foster is responsible for many stars. He is a Great Man and we will see more of him I'm Sure!
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz I mainly watch and stick to TH-cam. Nice to hear from you... Thanks...
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz That is totally up to you. I am leary of things like this because there are many scam artists out there. If you send me yours and I don't reply, please don't be offended...
Love me some David Foster, Genius!
I would never be able to be in the same room as David Foster
BEAUTIFUL!!!
I'm in Colorado.
These have been my two favorite artist for several years. Today Andrea Bocelli died, and Celine went last year. The world is hurting because of their loss.
Josh IS one of a kind!
He's a wonderful singer, I can be listening him all day long. 👏👏👏👏
just the most wonderful clip and love Josh Groban - well done to all and especially to David. LOVE Andrea and Celine too.
Josh is superb and so humble and nice. I have had the privilege of seeing him in concert twice. His voice is mesmerizing!
Thank you for sharing 🙏 How Beautiful 🙏💗✨️
I first seen Josh Groban on Ally McBeal. He asked Ally to the prom to make his girlfriend pay attention to the poem he wrote for her and wanted to sing it to her there! After much dread, she agreed, and the rest is history. After I stopped crying, I’ve been a fan since.
Omg, I saw that episode when it first aired in May 2001! When he started singing, my jaw dropped and then I couldn’t stop crying.
Josh takes my breath away.
Of coarse Celine is my fav about all
Celine said Josh looks like a 12 year old, has short curly hair and big eyes like to sunshine!❤
I love Josh Groban and especially singing The Prayer.
This makes me cry ever tie I hear his voice
I love this movie so much i didn't know how much beautiful things came out of it!!!🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
What a Wonderful voice he has as it’s just Beautiful to listen to 💜
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz , In Western Washington State
Andrea Bocelli … truly the voice of an angel 👼.
Love Josh Grobin !
Groban
Josh Groban has a magnificent voice!
Beautiful
WOW! What a voice! I have his music at home. Love him! 🎼🎶😊
This was beautiful
aaand tears
Thanks this is so sweet what a story! It was meant to be not a coincidence. Thanks blessings
I wanna know how Josh knew Italian!!
WoW!
Great story!
Beautiful music.
Glory to Yahwah!
In interviews, Josh has said he took some language lessons but I believe he mainly learned the words to Italian language songs with the help of an Italian vocal coach.
@@Lupin788 Yes. Marco Marinangeli, who wrote several songs for (and with) Josh in the beginning of his career helped him with it. His accent is pretty impressive!
Can you just imagine how he must have felt….it was definitely his time. What a journey!
Wonderful story. I saw Josh and Idina Menzel together in concert and it was just amazing!
Sobbingggggggg
It was Ally McBeal that introduced a lot of people to Josh. It was wonderful comedy, but what sold it for me was Josh's music teacher who kept referring to his nervous condition as Necrophilia instead of a hypochondriac. I was curious to hear the voice the music teacher raved about, and of course I was blown away like most others.
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz I'm from St. Louis. Thanks for the compliment.
AMICA MIA......WHAT AN HONOR🌹
Huh! Never knew this amazing song was associated with a movie I never heard of!
I'm in Florida, you?
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz why are you pretending to be josh Groban?
♥️🌙☀️❤️
GOOD CALL DAVID!!
David foster absolutely fantastic disappointed all these didn't realise how many songs he's written
Pray…that.. maria’s daughter…will..connect. With..her…
Josh is the story
I Love This Song It Has Been A Blessing To Me Thank You So Much 💓💓 💓
Fabulous
Thank 😊
❤️ 😍
What a fantastic story. How wonderful. How perfectly the Universe works to make your dreams come true, when you wish them with all your heart and soul...and then God sends the helicopter to save you from drowning in the floods, and you say, "No thanks." Haha. Thank GOD David CALLED BACK! Hooly Dooly, JG! 💖
❤❤❤
You say no to David Foster because you have homework. You’re too busy to replace Andrea Bocelli. You’re too busy to sing with Celine Dion. That’s a crazy story.
💖
I like him great choice David
I have been trying to find out more of Josh practicing with Celine. I knew he was 17. I didn't know he was on Rosie. Smart Lady to get him on her show. I also didn't know he was 18 when he sang Uou Raise Me Up. I bought that album so fast when I heard that song. Josh is still the super nice guy with an amazing voice. Does anyone know if his parents sing?
He was a bit older when you raise me up came out, it on his 2nd album, so 22-23. His parents do not sing!
No he is the entertainer in the family
💕
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz Bahrain 🇧🇭
@@JoshGroban-ct3wz it's my pleasure 🙏
I appreciate Carole Bayer Sager pointing out the elephant in the room that it originated in Quest for Camelot - I never hated the movie but know it had a lot of problems. Always annoys me that it doesn't get the credit for introducing this song to the world (and its original rendition - different from the Dion/Bocelli version is itself lovely and poignant)
It was! Wonderfully performed and pulled my heart strings.
We may have never heard of Josh Groban if it wasn't for Andrea Bocelli missing rehearsal
I wanna meet his parents
once in a long while, amazing songs happen, they often involve multiple languages. Bocelli was trying to explain that In his language.

Yep
