My parents have been collecting cds from the early 90s and I still have more cds than them. Isn't that a bit weird? Laughing

I guess whilst others watch TV or play computer games, I listen to music Smile

He does a duet with Mel C?! Weird! But then he isn't afraid to duet with anyone. I like that about him. He isn't snobby. He did a duet with Cleopatra for goodness sake. How muhc lower can you get?! I love it!

Yeah, he does Barcelona with her. Think this version was better than the one with Mr. Ryder but still not good. Laughing

It was originally sung by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caball?© on the occasion of the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992.

There was my thinking Elvis had sung it... Embarassed

I like your collection Rainy. You should try Sissel. She has a great poppy/crossover album called 'All Good Things'

Anyone else think Josh Groban is a male version of Celine Dion?

I think Josh is a crooner more than a classical singer. Don't get me wrong, I love him. He just seems to sing a load of ballads worthy of Celine Dion. I actually like Celine Dion Embarassed

I thought so as you said you like female voices. I - in opposite - am not very keen on female voices, so I don't like Celine Dion very much. But I totally agree about the crooner thing. Smile

unfortunately out of my list i like Josh the least, not cos i dont like him i just prefer the other artists more. I found out about Josh through watching his guest appearances on ally mcbeal and bought his album.

He had a guest appearance in Ally McBeal? Interesting. Didn't watch it so I don't know. But I think I saw him somewhere else on TV, I cannot remember which series though. I'd also say I like him least of all the (male) xover artists I know. A bit too much slow stuff for me.
