In the "overrated" section of the LA TIMES which appears in the weekend edition of the daily paper, writers were inclined to rate Josh Groban's rendition of a handful of theme songs he warbled on the 60th Annual Emmy Awards show, as somewhat "cheesy".
Not terribly off the mark.
To many, he is a bit of a God in the musical arena, though.
True, many of his fans are turned on by the beautiful timber of his voice.
And, there's no denying there is a distinctive resonance, that tends to cause the notes to fall blissfully upon the ear.
But, for me, Groban's voice sounds too "trained".
If the handsome crooner would let go of the rigid musical foundation he builds his song stylings on - and simply sing from the heart - his touch would be far more reaching.
Give it a shot, Josh.
You may end up a better singer for having taken the musical risk!
