kind of painful

Is it just me, or is Josh Groban the kind of singer who would be good if he didn't have such crummy choice in songs? Kind of like Michael Crawford, without the Broadway stuff.

Not meant to insult anybody - I have very little experience with the guy, but just heard him sing "When You Say You Love Me," which was such an insufferable song that I nearly skipped it, despite liking his voice.

My boss absolutlely loves him and I hear it all day at work. A good number of his song aren't even in English so they sound pretty good to me. I'm always surprised to hear that voice coming out of that man.

I'll have to look up his stuff not-in-English, 'cause I'm sure I'd like that better. The lyrics on some of the English stuff are just... bleck.

It is a fairly impressive voice. I've got others I like better, but he's pretty damned good.
