Josh Groban AWAKE Tour (Perth)

Josh Groban burst on to the international music scene in 2001 with the release of his self-titled debut album featuring the hit single, "To Where You Are." His follow up CD "Closer" with the smash hit "You Raise Me Up" brought enormous success to the young singing sensation. "Awake" was his third studio album which was release late in 2006.

Perth was his last stop of the Awake Tour around Australia. The concert was held at Challenge Stadium on 14/10, which lasted about 90mins. There is only one word to describe his concert : SENSATIONAL!! He performed brilliantly throughout the concert and has proved that he is a musician of many talents! What I meant was, he can sing (did I mention he CAN sing?), cracking jokes every so often, a brilliant pianist and as a drummer, he rocks! Well, how do you know a concert is good?....easy, it is when you get goose-bumps during the concert hehe!

He performed most of the songs from his lastest alhum AWAKE, which includes my favs, You are loved (don't give up), February Song, So She Dances and Un Giorno Per Noi. He also threw in quite a few of my favourite old numbers from his previous albums which include my all time favourites, Remember When It Rained and You Raise Me Up.

If you still haven't heard of Josh Groban, you haven't heard a music at all!!!

The only complaint I have about this concert was those ass-killer seats! Yes, it was cheapo hard plastic seat which was not the most comfortable on earth....but in the end, it was well worth the effort :))
