I still have the original CD. I can't believe that it's been 20 years already! It feels like it was only yesterday. Josh, you are the epitome of perfection.
Been a fan from the beginning too. This song is bittersweet…reminds me of my eventual breakup. We both knew it was best to go separate ways and that I needed to spread my wings to grow. Really sad when there’s so much love between us ❤
Uggghhhh, this took me back to his first concert on PBS. I was 13 at the time, and now at 35, I'm still a fan. He was the one who inspired me to become a voice major. I still hope to sing with him one day..
This also brought me back to that PBS special ❤ I hope you get to sing with him, I know how that feels, as I always wanted to dance with Baryshnikov. ❤😊
Lest anyone forgets - this amazing song was written by the incomparable LARA FABIAN. Who incidentally is also one of the greatest singers I have ever heard.
"I'd give away my soul to hold you once again and never let this promise end" With the sad melody and piercing lyrics, this is probably one of the most heartbreaking songs ever written, and with Josh Groban's pure and soulful interpretation as always, Broken Vow became an instant classic.
Thank you Lara Fabian for creating this masterpiece that allows Josh to shine bright again! Nothing compares to your version but it is beautifully done
I have at the Staple Center when I lived in Los Angeles. You walked right by me, I tried to take your picture, and all I got was your butt. I was so upset but so glad that I was there.
Thank you Josh Groban For sharing your beyond amazing voice that touches the inner core of my heart and soul singing this heart wrenching song Been a fan since I heard you sung for the first time with Celine Dion. Your voice is like a fine wine getting better and better . For the heartbroken This song will turn our hearts to million pieces . What a voice What a song This will be on hundred repeats !!!!! Shoutout to David Foster on the piano .
He first performed this song in his first concert which became the Josh Groban in Concert DVD. That was over 20 years ago! I watched that DVD most every day until he came out with something new! Lol 😅 I've really enjoy following his career all these years. Awesome singer and person! 🥰
I actually didn't have Closer for many years because the first album of his I bought was the Josh Groban in Concert cd (which has several of the same songs). The only plus to In Concert is his version of The Prayer with Angie Stone.
Oh Josh! I love, love, love this rendition. Your music takes me to such sad and beautiful places. It touches the soul ever so deeply and makes you feel what your heart longs for. Beautiful ❤
Magistral la interpretación de dos grandes de la música, Josh tus canciones son tan hermosas que no dejo de escucharte todos los días, eres mi cantante favorito desde que te encontré, gracias por deleitarnos con tu música, espero poder verte 🙏🙏en uno de tus conciertos o vengas a España será un placer tenerte aquí, te amamos 😘😘🇪🇦🇪🇦
You are my inspiration to sing. This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and it gets more special because of your devotion to music. Thank you! And come to Brazil 🇧🇷
Love love love your music..Glad to see you with David Foster again.....I like it when you sing classical music the best.. it brings out all the great tones of your voice. thats when your music gives me goose bumps... this song is beautiful
Closer is still my favorite of your albums probably tied with Awake (Live), Josh. Is it possible that you sound even better today? I don’t know - but your voice is just spectacular.
I’ve been a huge fan of Josh’s since I heard him on Ally McBeal. I was gobsmacked by how incredibly beautiful his voice was for one so young. I’ve bought all his music since, and was able to take my two daughters to one of his concerts (they love him as well). Truly a talented young man!
@Valencelincoin842 Oh, i see, very interesting. I am executive assistant, a self-taught chef and crafts teacher. Must pray the Rosary. Bye for a while.
@@PauloBono1978 yeah, it's pretty sad people don't seem to know this at all and there's zero credit given to Lara.. they always make it seem like it's Groban's song...
Grazie mille caro Josh Groban per la condivisione 🙏 Semplicemente meraviglioso anche il pianista 🌿🌺🌿Un meritato applauso per entrambi 👏 Buona giornata 🌞☕ Ciao 🇮🇹✔️💙🎶👍
Twenty years ago... It seems like it was just yesterday. I was a teenager. I didn't go to school that day and I was sleeping under a blanket. At that time we had a video recorder... Between sleeping and waking up, the voice of an angel caressed my ear! I felt like I was becoming weightless and floating in the air! I jumped up, I shouted to my sister: "record it!! Record it!!!" That was the music video of "you raise me up"...
Josh Groban is my favorite living male singer. No other comes close. Now my dream is for him to do a duet with my favorite female singer Lucy Thomas. Like you, her voice is second to none. My dream. ❤❤
I swear… I love Josh Groban’s voice so much. I still recall first time I heard him sing. It was in person at a concert my org was hosting at San Francisco opera house and he was filling in for Natalie Cole who had to cancel unexpectedly. It was like WHO is THAT???! Stopped me in my tracks. And I’ve been a fan ever since. Keep shining Josh!
Lo sigo desde que Josh tenia 18 años , al dia de hoy su impecable voz me sigue conmoviendo. Por muchos años mas de magia y musica ! Bravo Josh saludos desde Argentina 🥰🥰🥰🇦🇷🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰
When Josh first recorded Broken Vow it was beautiful, but 20 years later he's experienced it. You can hear the difference in his voice and interpretation. Bravo, Josh, and thank you, David.
We’ve twice had tickets to see Josh (Sioux City and Clearwater) only to have concerts cancelled) so have to content ourselves listening to his CDs and RUclips videos. Still our favorite male vocalist whose voice fills our home with his incredible interpretations, February Song being one of my favorites.
I still remember hearing "You Raise Me Up" for the first time on the radio. It just stopped me in my tracks. It was hard being a teenage Grobanite as we weren't exactly your main demographic. Lol. But it was always so thrilling finding another fan my age back in the day. Thank you for sharing your talent, hard work, humour, heart and soul with us all for the past two decades, Josh. Your music has got me through hard times, and brought my BFF and husband into my life (both fellow Grobanites). Best wishes and lots of love to you, Josh! ❤️

Same 😊
Loved Josh since the first time I heard "To Where You Are"
As always, your music lifts my heart!!! Enthusiastic fan. Thank you for 20 years of magic!
❤❤❤
I still have the original CD.
I can't believe that it's been 20 years already! It feels like it was only yesterday.
Josh, you are the epitome of perfection.
20 years in a flash. His voice feels like an old friend, or like Christmas morning. Every time.
Love that! You captured him perfectly.
Feels that way for me, too.(My first Josh Groban CD was a Christmas present from my aunt.)
Jeanine-absolutely you’ve got that so right. Josh’s voice always is thrilling !
Is Josh Groban going to sing “You Raise Me Up” just like on the Ellen show & live on Greek?
Well said
Josh Groban and David Foster....it just doesn't get any better. Beautiful ❤️
So true!
The day David Foster first heard Josh Grobin and knew the talent. The years of enjoyment from both. A true gift.

uggier I @@valaries.5944
Absolutely superb music from both of them. I could sit here and listen to it all day and then more!
One of my all time favorites. Been a Groban fan from the beginning - awesome to hear him do this with David. Can't wait until he gets back on tour!
Been a fan from the beginning too. This song is bittersweet…reminds me of my eventual breakup. We both knew it was best to go separate ways and that I needed to spread my wings to grow. Really sad when there’s so much love between us ❤
Absolutely! ❤
Two legends in a one piece of masterpiece 🥀. Josh, a voice of Heaven 🤍.
IF HIS VOICE IS NOT OF HEAVEN SURELY IT CLIMBS US A STEP TO HEAVEN 😍
By far, one of the most amazing, distintive, and beautiful voices out there! With David at the keys makes this song pure bliss. ❤
Indeed !
I also concur but have you heard the original by Lara Fabian?😊
@@donopete1I have heard it. Not a patch on Josh's
Just a piano and a voice: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!
Uggghhhh, this took me back to his first concert on PBS. I was 13 at the time, and now at 35, I'm still a fan. He was the one who inspired me to become a voice major. I still hope to sing with him one day..
I was there too.. I cried when I heard him sing this song.. he just blew me away. We have something special that can never be replaced.
Beautiful!!
He has the most incredible voice ❤
This also brought me back to that PBS special ❤ I hope you get to sing with him, I know how that feels, as I always wanted to dance with Baryshnikov. ❤😊
@anglettejones8882 - may you be blessed with the opportunity. SOAR beyond your wildest dreams.
I hope you make it angelette, and when you make it, be sure to come back here and let us know
been copying your voice just to impress our mom, it's been 2 years since she passed from cancer and hearing this gives me smile while crying again
This is one of my favorite Josh Groban songs. I'm glad they finally made a music video.
I like this sung by him, but the composers of the song were Walter Afanasieff and Lara Fabian. I wish that Lara and Josh duet this together!
A dream may become true... we love Lara & Josh, such voices deserve to be heard together ... ❤
@@antoniomanzano3407 They did a duet, many years ago: "For Always" from the soundtrack of "AI- Artificial Intelligence".
Listen to Lara Fabian (who wrote it) do it. The feeling she puts into it just leaves you devastated
@@snkeptzabsolutely!!
Lest anyone forgets - this amazing song was written by the incomparable LARA FABIAN. Who incidentally is also one of the greatest singers I have ever heard.
Lara Fabian is another underrated artist. Amazing voice and songwriting
Obrigada, eu não sabia que essa composição era dela ... 🥰
The reason I really want to become a singer, is because of Josh Groban's voice
Beautiful rendition of one of my favorites. Thanks Josh and David! ❤
"I'd give away my soul to hold you once again and never let this promise end" With the sad melody and piercing lyrics, this is probably one of the most heartbreaking songs ever written, and with Josh Groban's pure and soulful interpretation as always, Broken Vow became an instant classic.
The original singer and songwriter is Mrs Lara Fabian.. Worth checking.
Agree. Heard it first time it was released. Equally beautiful.. @@PauloBono1978
Such a beautiful voice 😱 💜💗💚
Thank you Lara Fabian for creating this masterpiece that allows Josh to shine bright again! Nothing compares to your version but it is beautifully done
From day one, many years ago, I have always loved this voice. Sent from Heaven above ❣️
Amen to that❤️
I have at the Staple Center when I lived in Los Angeles. You walked right by me, I tried to take your picture, and all I got was your butt. I was so upset but so glad that I was there.
I just love love love your voice and how you have stayed clean all these years and no scandals. Love your music.
we are so lucky to have Josh Groban in our lives.
20 years later and I still get goosebumps ❤
so good to see and hear you Josh...Be well Buddy 👍🏽👍🏽☮ My Mother 92 yrs passed this morning.Thanks for your voice tonight
So sorry for your loss. 🙏
So sorry for your loss. 🙏
Sorry for your loss!
So sorry for your loss! ❤
So sorry 😞

For the heartbroken
This song will turn our hearts to million pieces .
What a voice

Such a beautiful voice! Love when David Foster plays the piano, too.

Heartbreaking song.😢 Beautifully played and sung.❤
Josh and David are wonderful. Amazing collaboration ❤️
Closer is still my all time favorite album ❤❤
Same for me......still playing this album every week

I first heard Josh in 2002. Flash forward 21 years , I still stop what I’m doing and listen and sing along with his incredible and beautiful voice.❤❤
No one like Josh Groban. He is magnificent
What a lovely surprise, Josh!
❤❤❤ David Foster and Josh Groban you are both amazingly talented we love you very much!!!🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹
Love love love your music..Glad to see you with David Foster again.....I like it when you sing classical music the best.. it brings out all the great tones of your voice. thats when your music gives me goose bumps... this song is beautiful
That is not classical music. It’s pop
Whenever I hear him and whatever Josh sings, I get a lump in my throat. Such a beautiful voice. ❤️
It's so amazing and brilliant and beautiful ❤
Absolute beauty!
Can't wait to see a concert again with David & Josh together. 🌟
Josh…you get better the older you get! ❤
Beautiful song! Frequently listen to your music, and will always be a huge fan of you and your music. Thank you Josh!
Closer is still my favorite of your albums probably tied with Awake (Live), Josh. Is it possible that you sound even better today? I don’t know - but your voice is just spectacular.
Love it! Missed so much this kind of reconnect with us. Welcome back, Josh! ❤
Lovely and heartbreaking at the same time. Josh captured it perfectly! ❤️💔

Love both these super talented people but I would also like to say that I feel that when Josh was with David was when he did his best music
It’s so sad and beautiful at the same time
Josh : I need his voice- it’s healing and comforting like a dear friend.
Could it be more beautiful???... Impossible!!!Two greats, Josh and David!!!👏❤️
@Valencelincoin842 Shower of blessings to you as well. 🕊
@Valencelincoin842 Yes, I do love Josh & David. Are you a musician too?..
@Valencelincoin842 Oh, i see, very interesting. I am executive assistant, a self-taught chef and crafts teacher. Must pray the Rosary. Bye for a while.
yes listen to the original version
My wife and I just played this twice. As I listened I felt that song was alive somehow.
I remember watching this live on the bridges tour and the chills it sent down my spine...❤
Just beautiful. And as always, great voice.
I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since this came out. Josh’s voice is timeless and I’ll always love him & David Foster together.
The original singer Mrs Lara Fabian wrote Broken Vow in 1999., 24 years ago
@@PauloBono1978 yeah, it's pretty sad people don't seem to know this at all and there's zero credit given to Lara.. they always make it seem like it's Groban's song...
Grazie mille caro Josh Groban per la condivisione 🙏 Semplicemente meraviglioso anche il pianista 🌿🌺🌿Un meritato applauso per entrambi 👏 Buona giornata 🌞☕ Ciao 🇮🇹✔️💙🎶👍
Pianist is the great David Foster
Fantastic Canadian musician and producer
Bellissimo commento. Josh andrebbe ascoltato più spesso. Conosco la sua musica da qualche ed è meravigliosa. Poi questo brano......😍😍✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
❤wonderful Josh and Foster! God bless you!
This song was written by Lara Fabian! 🥰
David is so masterful, and such a sensitive accompanist, and Josh is absolutely stunning.
That's why he bagged Katharine McPhee
Oh so so so beautful 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So poignant & heartbreaking Josh😢 - your voice is perfect for these beautiful ballads!👏👏👏🌹
2017 David Foster found Josh and made him a star. 20 something years later that star has become its own galaxy.
Love this beautiful song ❤
Twenty years ago...

My eyes have an instant reaction to JG's voice... 🥺... I drift far away... To a soothing peaceful place
So beautiful, just Josh singing & David Foster playing piano! Such emotion!! :)
Thank you so much Josh Groban for sharing it's so beautiful 😘
My God. This was the first album my parents got me. Hard to believe it's been 20 years. This is certainly giving me nostalgia like no other.
I remenber seeing Josh in Dublin in 2006 and it was magical
Deeply moved by this performance. Great vocalists with brilliant pianists……my idea of heaven.
your voice is my eternal morning sunshine
Magnificent!!! 👍👍🙏
@Valencelincoin842 I'm great !!! How are you??
