Title: Stunning Follow Up.
Review: Josh Groban's Closer is a wonderful follow up to his debut. Josh stays with the same formula which made his first so successful. Soaring ballads performed in English, Italian, and other languages. His voice has gotten much stronger, and richer which makes some of the songs all the more powerful. His voice does lack some personality, especially when he starts off a ballad, but it always builds into a climatic chorus with a full on orchestra or gospel choir. Highlights for me include the first single You Raise Me Up. The haunting ballad Broken Vow. The beautifully sung Remember When it Rained. This is Josh's best vocal performance on the disc. Josh has only gotten stronger, and I can't wait to hear what he's going to sound like in the future.
