I will never ever forget the moment I heard Josh sing for the first time. I was watching Ally, of course. Well, more like I was listening. The TV was on and I watched the episode but also had my back to the TV at times because I was using my desk top computer. (Everyone remember good old dialup? LOL) I had my back to the TV when he began to sing. I stopped what I was typing and literally froze in the chair as he began to sing. I turned towards to TV and as I listened to Josh, I got goosebumps. That was the very first time I ever got goosebumps hearing someone sing...25 years old and it was literally the first time. Pretty sure my mouth was flopped open the entire time he sang. lol. The very next day, I took my lunch break from work at 10:00 a.m. so I could be at the mall when it opened. And when it did, I went to the record store and bought his CD. Not sure why I'm telling you this 11 years after this video was posted lol.
Similar to me. I was watching AMB but chatting to my husband at the same time and suddenly I heard this amazing voice. I was just mesmerised by him. I've been a big fan of his ever since. You're Still You has been my favourite song of his ever since. His voice is just so pure and incredible.
Same thing happened to me :) ! And what's even more beautiful, years later, there was this same "old" episode on the TV, and I just stumbled upon it. My then 4 year old son was running around the house playing. The moment Josh started to sing he froze, and just stared at the TV for the entire song. His eyes wide open. He was mesmerised...
Almost the same here. I was sitting at the computer and my wife was watching the show in a different room Suddenly I heard his voice and immediately had to stop my work and go to the living room where my wife was watching it. I stood there with my mouth open and couldn’t believe what I just listened to. The most beautiful voice in the world ❤❤❤
I too experienced the same: in my small apartment - typically running around with the TV playing, I heard this powerful, beautifully moving voice fill the room. I was desperate to find out his name, but the show was on German TV and didn't show the credits. A while afterwards - after futile searches - I found him on Barbra Streisand's duets album. FINALLY! I continue to marvel at his talent and especially love his "Bridge Over Troubled Water" duet with Brian McNight and my favorite (or at least one of them) is "Awake". Thank you Josh!!!
I watched Ally McBeal from Day One until it ended. I distinctly recall this episode where a then unknown Josh Groban sang this song. I had tears rolling down my face and knew immediately he was about to become a huge star. That episode was the best way to introduce him to millions of people across the country at once. He is possessed of one of the most beautiful and pure voices of his generation - an absolute pleasure to experience his musical gift and talent.
For years Ally McBeal was my favorite TV show. I remember the initial shock of the voice of this guy that few had heard of before this. It was jaw-dropping.
This is the first time I ever heard Josh Groban. I still remember the moment. It took me another five years to get my hands on his album Closer. One of my all time favourite singers ever ❤
Josh Groban has always been the most wonderful singer, actor, and all around warm and wonderful young man. Here he was, TOTALLY bound for stardom! So very young here and yet so obviously gifted. Josh is forever. 🥰
I was a huge fan of AM, and remember when this episode first aired. I got goosebumps the second Josh started singing , and still do every time I watch this clip.
For those who don't know, this was the moment when Josh Groban and his talent were introduced to the world. I was a big fan of the series "Ally McBeal" back then. This particular episode, as I recall, got a bit of advance publicity telling people a new young singer would be introduced as a character in the show. So I watched it, as I watched ever episode. But when this scene came on .......... no one was expecting THIS. Anyone anywhere who was doing anything and had their TV tuned to "Ally McBeal" dropped what they were doing to watch and listen. It was captivating, mesmerizing. This was 2001, I think. Immediately thereafter, millions ran to their computers to use whatever search engine at the time to search for "Josh Groban" (including me) -- and we "broke the Internet." Service was slowed for hours afterwards. At work the next day, Josh's performance was all anyone could talk about. I've heard recordings of Josh performing this song. But nothing tops hearing and watching it in the context of this scene. All these years later, it never fails to move you. The scene where the camera pulls back showing Ally alone in the ballroom (in her imagination) -- as though he were singing only to her -- is fantastic cinematography and is how so many people felt watching Josh sing. This scene is a TV legend. Be sure to search out and watch the other "Ally McBeal" episode that Josh appears in later on, where Ally encourages him to sing a song at his mother's funeral. Equally captivating.
The first time I saw or ever even heard of Josh Groban was when he was 18. I had gone to see Sarah Brightman in concert and out walks this tall, scrawny kid, who just blew the audience away. He sang one song... that's all it took and we were mesmerized.
My fiance was a big fan of Ally McBeal. Me, not so much. We were watching this episode when Josh was a client of Ally's. I never heard him sing before. I became an instant fan. My fiance died in 2007 of a drug addiction, she was only 38 years old. She battled the drugs the whole time we were together. I tried to help her yet never judged her. The words to this song touches me to my very soul.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful but painful story. I pray that her Spirit will guide you to someone special with whom you can one day share all the love you have to give. God bless you as her soul rests in peace with him.
I LOVED the show Ally McBeal, just so well done . It is totally believable that a room of partiers would go silent and become mesmerized when a voice like that fills the whole space. I remember this episode so clearly, and got goosebumps,.. I have adored Josh Groban ever since.
OMG! I've heard about stories about how JG has been discovered in Ally McBeal. It's the first time I saw this episode lol. Goosebumps! God given voice, superb talent! Love you JG!
The first time I heard him sing was Oprah's 50th birthday concert organised by her staff for her. Josh Groban sang You Raise me Up. First time I ever heard that song too. Just marvellous. .
If there were some genius in me, I could and would most vividly and whole-heartedly express the effect, the power, the inspiration that this uniquely exquisite rendering has on me, my heart, my soul. Mr. Groban's voice lifts, galvanizes and transports the very being inside us...and creates a magic most splendid. What a phenomenal and most GLORIOUS gift!
Truly has been given a gift of voice by God. He is a child of God ; his voice pulls at my heartstrings always. I put his cd ‘s on when I awaken and my heart is ready for the day and whatever I may find challenging . Please stay the same. Our lives need you
Josh Groban actually stops my heart from racing and slows it down to a warm loving pace. He is so gifted and I listen to him every day, if only 1 song to lift my day. Thank God for your gift of this kind and gentle young man.
❤i love this singer, his soft humble voice, is amazing. I love my Great VODAFONE, too, his soft humble voice, his smart answers, he is incredible , that is why i have a bond for him. Thank you my favorite Ever n forever VODAFONE, for sharing this beautiful song. Love it. God bless you abundantly.
nice to see this again, it's been 20 plus years. It's been pulled off YT for years that I haven't bothered to look for it. Wonderful clip and a gorgeous song.
I will never forget this moment ❤ watching Ally Mcbeal I heard him sing and the day after I bought his CD. His first CD 😊I love him, then and now. Wonderful singer, nice guy, incredible voice. ❤
@JoshGroban-ct3wz Hi Josh, I'm an ex pat Brit living in Cambodia with my Cambodian/Chinese wife, whom I met whilst teaching English as a volunteer. I just love it here. Thankyou so much for taking the time to write. Love your music. I used to teach music many years ago to 15-17 year olds 9 years I taught it. If you ever come to Cambodia I would love to show you around Siem Reap & the temples @ Angkor. Stay safe & well,
He has an amazing voice I first heard to where you are on the X factor sung by a man in memory of his wife I also had it played for my husbands funeral my daughters had him sing you raise me up
Recuerdo la primera vez que te vi y escuché...y no sabía como te llamabas..y siempre recordaré esa bella sensación de haber escuchado la mas preciosa voz mi niño
the first time I heard hom sing, he was standing in for someone to warm Celine Dion the whole stage was speak less when he started to sing, including Celine
Ich habe ihn Tatsächlich erst durch die Serie entdeckt...meine Mamsch und ich haben sie. Zusammen gesehen und die Folge mit dem Lied ist hängen geblieben. Ich hab dann immer auf diese Folge gewartet und bin wach geblieben...da war das mit dem Internet noch nicht so einfach oder für mich... hab dann damals für meine Mamsch die CD gekauft aber sie dann mehr genutzt...sie ist leider nicht mehr da aber jedesmal wenn ich an Ally denke die wir zusammen gesehen haben und dabei den Menschen gehört haben... Verbinde ich es mit ihr❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is so rare to be able to watch the exact moment that someone became a star.
When Ally McBeal introduced Josh Groban to the world.... ❤❤❤ Thank you and thank you and thank you .. ❤
The minute I fell in love with Josh Groban.
I could not believe that voice came out when he opened his mouth to sing. He is amazing. He still makes my heart flutter to this day. ❤
This is where I found Josh Groban for the first time. Wonderful. Moving.
me too!!! Goosebumps all over!! Now I feel nostalgic sitting in the couch with my parents watching this episode :)
Count me in!
Me too!

A voice that reaches into the depths of your soul and raises it to such heights.
The way they captured the audience's reaction is exactly how America reacted to this unbelievable voice the first time hearing it. AMAZING!
One of the greatest voices of our era.
Amen!

I too was introduced to😅 this man from this show. It made me cry as I thought I was witnessing a star being born.
For years Ally McBeal was my favorite TV show. I remember the initial shock of the voice of this guy that few had heard of before this. It was jaw-dropping.
Very similar too, I heard him and had to right away try and find out who he was, this is still one of his very best songs!
Oh my goodness. I remember watching this. His performance was amazing. Still get chills!
We played his song YOU RAISED ME UP at my husband's memorial service. Still tear up.
This is the first time I ever heard Josh Groban. I still remember the moment. It took me another five years to get my hands on his album Closer. One of my all time favourite singers ever ❤

The most remembered episode, my adventure with Gosh Groban's music.

🎉ever since I heard him I fell head over heels for him keep it going❤

Thank you for sharing your beautiful but painful story. I pray that her Spirit will guide you to someone special with whom you can one day share all the love you have to give. God bless you as her soul rests in peace with him.
Probably one of the finest singers ever .

He has been touched by God. No doubt about it.
There's a great deal of doubt about that.

First time I heard him on Touch by an Angel
Still gives me chills
Carlo, I don't know how you did it but the quality is very good and it is in 16:9!! The other version on CZcams is 4:3 and extremely fuzzy. Well Done!
