Sing to Me

I originally just titled this blog as "Josh Groban" but felt it was a little stupid.  But he is in fact the subject of this post.  His new album Illuminations came out on Monday and I am absolutely transfixed!  He has the voice of an angel and there is something about singing in another language that just makes me melt.  I'm sure my Mom thinks I'm a little crazy.  How many people do you know who blast Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli while they do physics on a whiteboard in their room? 

This type of music has recently become my favorite.  I love the smooth vocal and instrumental arrangements.  Most of the popular mainstream music is often a compilation where the instruments, or beat, or any other part of the music completely overpowers the vocals.  As a female, I know that I most often appreciate a song for the lyrics or the mood and not so much the beat or energy. 

And as I said earlier.......there is something about singing in Italian/French/Portuguese/Spanish that is simply irresistible from these men.  I know that I generally disposed to men who are.....nerdy.....however, I would not find myself refusing a man who could sing to me like that!
