Advantages: Awesome to listen to

Disadvantages: None

I HAVE THE X FACTOR!! At least that's what i think!

I recently bought AWAKE by Josh Groban after being bombarded by his music on Radio 2! Yes i listen to Radio 2. I travel about a 1000 miles a week for work and have a secret ambition to be a mini cab driver. In my experience that is the station of choice!

I have just returned from a 4 hour journey back from Nottingham this evening and bombarded myself with the Joshmeister since getting stuck in a stack of traffic on the M1.

What a fantastic album. I have never sung so much and so loudly in my life. For anyone stuck next to some idiot shouting at the top of their lungs in a black mondeo.....that was me!!!

It is a fantastic mix of classical style music bringing this genre into the mainstream. There are a couple on there you will probably all know or recognise such as You are loved (don't give up) and February Song. There is also a bonus track on the album of You Raise Me Up (the song that Westlife murdered!) There are a few songs in Italian which i don't understand but still love to listen to and even a couple of colaborations with Ladysmith Black Mambazo (remember them?!)

Have a good look at his site which spookily enough is www.joshgroban.com

It is not the sort of music i would normally listen to, but am now happy to add him (on a semi permanent basis at least) to my 6 cd multichanger. I challenge anyone (except chavs) to listen to this musical masterpiece and not think after the second time through that they good enough to win X factor. Crank up the volume and sing a long and no matter how terrible you actually sound you will in fact think that you are on a par with Josh.

He is that good he can carry a tone deaf monotone like myself!

A+ for effort Josh. I will definitely be looking out for your next album.

Simon, Sharon and Louis see you at the next X factor auditions. To everyone reading this i will see you in the X Factor bloopers show!

Summary: Buy it if you get the chance
