Lee Mead and Josh Groban - You Raise Me Up

[AmyYeo1997]

Does anyone else find it hilarious how pissed the other guys are haha xx

[MrHakimiYahya]

they look like gay when they look each other..LOLOLOLOL!!!

[Marcsella79]

RESPECT

[flowerintherain7]

Ahh, i wish this was me. Haha =P No actually..to be quite honest, I wouldn't want to sing *with* him, I'd just want him to sing *to* me.:). He's my hero.

[nutter715854]

I love Lee Mead and I love this song. It's a perfect combination!

[simaluni]

wow...i love it!

[gunnarrobert]

This is a stolen song, this is the original : . It's called "söknuður" or "missing you" in English. The writer of you "raised me up" came to Iceland in the seventies and must have heard it on that trip...peace...

[annie10103]

@gunnarrobert

Lol umad?

[wistoker]

to more than stormy sea????!!!

[youretooyoungshutup]

@wistoker It a biblical reference from the story of when Jesus walked on water. It is meant to be a christian song but not many believe that haha

[vashti1616]

@youretooyoungshutup Actually in America, if you are not from there, it was a #1 Christian song for many, many weeks.

[TheFuamus]

This is a fantastic duet! I love this song!

[NylaScotia3239]

When Lee perfomed Paint it Black, I knew he'd set BAR so HIGH none of the other's could beat it. But with I knew that Lee would WIN the role of Joseph, and deservedly so!

[NylaScotia3239]

I am a great Admirer of Lee Mead, and I am pleased to see how well and how he holds up singing with Josh Groban, especially when you factor in Lee was singing on Telly, for 7 Million viewers. From the 1st Ep. of this Show I KNEW THAT ONLY LEE COULD be JOSEPH!

[nutter715854]

@NylaScotia3239 Totally agree!!! Lee Mead was PERFECT for Joseph! :)

[redheart49]

I wish I could speak with Josh Groban!!!! I have two songs that would be taylor made for him to sing. They are both ballads and I know as there is a God in heaven that he would put gold linings on them. Josh, if you are reading this please visit my tube and listen to the vocals. I sung one of them only my voice is terrible.

Many Blessings,

Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart

@MrJerimie2009

Dude, you cuss too much, you gaywad. I bet that's what you do to your brother EVERYDAY (well, the SECOND part)

[BananasBiteBad]

I LOVE this song. I'm a Mormon too, so it's perfect for Sundays/Saturdays.

[sophside]

Beautiful

[AshleighManning]

Goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! XD

[bushbaby001]

I love Josh! But Lee is a wonderful choice.

Love them both!

Love, Bridgette,

xoxoxooxo

[SpawnMonster22]

4:25 gave me the chills :P

[pupypuy80]

wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jinx903]

think this was more or less the point at which Lee won it, well for the other Josephs, which is a shame for them but it was allways gonna be Lee he stood out a mile. The other boys are amazing but Lee has a voice strong enough to compete with Josh Groban which is incredible really

[ATHINAmeow]

I do feel bad for the guys who weren't chosen. whilst it's amazing for lee to be able to sing with josh groban, this really was a badly formatted competition within the show.

[firestonegraywolf]

Lee looks so sweet, and Josh reminds me of will ferrel. He has a powerful beautiful voice....this would've been a wonderful song for the movie "the Mighty"

[nneelleehh]

Amazing amazing amazing!!!!! Two of my favorite singers ever!! :) xxx

[BamMarta]

` I love Josh ;*

[dwanesmurf]

[musiclover11662]

[samwaite1]

Lee needed more self- confidence

[thunderheadsquadron]

very nice song

[islandjproductions]

[JANELVIS63]

[mermerchar]

Josh is number 1, but Lee does a brilliant job.

I hope you like MY VERSION. I'm a 16 year old tenor from the U.K

Thank you. George Mercer :)

[AustralianHPfan]

such a huge honour to sing with him! what a wonderful opportunity!

[LadyLou89]

ok...it's a bit funny that Lee always look at Josh like he's singing to him...:D But it doesn't even matter because it was fantastic:)) LOVE JOSH:)))

[HaleyHolan]

How could anybody dislike Josh Groban

[peternelson1990]

the other guys are just kids man they're grown ass men acting like children lol Lee was the best singer anyways I don't even need to hear the others to come to that conclusion well done Lee!! awesome control and tone!! I prefer Lee's voice a bit more to Josh's to be honest lol 3:30 - :3:34 awesome control there

[fguibovich]

Love this song!

[b1000days]

is it just a coincidence that Josh picked the guy who looks the most like him? ;)

Lee has an incredible voice though :] I kinda feel bad for the dudes who had to be the backup singers; they looked so cheesy doing their little dance/finger-snap thing.

[polopandar]

@b1000days

I was thinking that too XD

[TheoBrixtonTheKid]

I was hoping they were going to make out...

[jokesgirl10]

I love how they look alike and sing amazing! Are you sure they're not they brothers?

[bedshaped333]

I'm being overpowered by the mass of dark curly locks ;)

[kani92]

it's hilarious how all the "back singers" are so pissed off especially at (1:19) lmao. like, c'mon.....at least pretend to be happy for Lee even if you're not. you're on tv for goodness sake.

[akiross123]

lol..I guess that is why Josh Groban kept closing his eyes..

[Numbah1PotSmokah]

holy holy holy hell , that other guys voice is like identical to his :O

[S2pidgirl186]

they have same voice...a little....but i like josh groban the most..

[MsMaestro00]

LOVE JOSH GROBAN, ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME!

[ChemicalRave]

Both of them should just marry me!! :) xx

[avatarng]

@ChemicalRave

me first...lol.

[LSD2US]

I love the eye contact between them + strange presence :)

[ChiiN0XL]

the singing begins at 1:40

[Kathriller]

Everyone in the audience must have been immediately impregnated.

[loveable1145]

@MrJeremie2009 that was an amazing . why not try to be respectable, Using bad language doesn't tear them down. it tears you down

[MusicalTheatre1011]

@MrJeremie2009 I cannot believe this comment has not been removed as spam. This comment is disrespectful to everyone who watches the video and reads it. Your language is inexcusable.

[pmnkosi]

@MrJeremie2009 Grow up man, that is stupid comment

[kissme6874]

62 people no one raise them up

[Joemontana950]

rich rod would love to sing with him , it wouuld be more important to him than i don't know winning a big game...

[JavierFontana]

I like this song!

I hope you like MY VERSION OF YOU RAISE ME UP

Thank you!

x

[zamaskboy]

this is fantastic...i sing this one in my video....just click me and you will not be disapointed.

[remotewall]

i figured lee would win from the start, such a great voice, males who can sing are beautiful to hear.

[thetroopr22]

oh and lee fucked up on to walk on stormy seas! on 2:28 or something hahaha he was all like to mooalk on stormy seas lmao dang!

[thetroopr22]

lee sucks ass! Josh Groban Is bad ass! that bad ass note he hit on 4:26 he was like YOU RAISE ME UP!!! dang!!!!!! AWESOME!

[Kathryn782]

I love lee

[darkside34]

this could have been 10 times betther with a male & female singers duo.. but still ok i think..

[klarinetta]

You raise me up is not original. It's has been proved to be 97% alike to Söknuður by Jóhann Helgason(Iceland) composed in 1977 and sung by Villhjálmur Villhjálmsson.

Just listen to it youtube.com/watch?v=oq9tphh6Ap­w

[stobbemusic]

Search you raise me up shawn stobbe. i have on the navy yankee hat singing in my truck live. then come back here....

[blesstim]

splendid!--just splendid!--here i am applauding in front of my pc...

[pianonic]

The celtic woman did this better.

[blackmagister60]

Always loved this song. I would feel bad for the other Josephs except for the fact that they had their chance to impress him and didn't make it. Sorry fellas but you blew it, now stop whining about it.

[camprocker14]

aww, i feel sorta bad for the other guys. but josh made his choice for a reason. he knows talent when he sees it!

[feedmewafflezTV]

Them staring into each other's eyes isn't uncomfortable. This song isn't about a man and a woman. And besides, singing on stage, you put a lot of emotion into it, and perhaps Groban is Lee's role model or something. I know If I was on stage with him, I'd be a LOT closer and smiling at him. Josh Groban made a good choice. Beautiful song.

[sweatyhot]

@markfelix25 sorry lad you must have a wee pair if that made you uncomfortable.

Ya heard an amazing performance and what your were left with was the idea that your own pair were on display.

[bookkeeper57]

I want to punch that TV emcee in the nose.

An honor to duet with Groban, had to be a high light for this guy.

Their voices mesh well.

[paxe1]

Fucking stolen shit

[JavierFontana]

I like this song !!

Please CHECK OUT MY VERSION!

Thank you!

x

[Nonnygirl13]

Lee sounds so much better than Josh Groban in this!

My opinion only :)

[vauchs]

@Nonnygirl13 If your into pop type voice then maybe he does, but groban has a much fuller, rounder voice, his classical training can be heard. Basically, you will be able to find more people that sounds like lee, but you wont find much singers who could match grobans voice which is a mix of contemporary and classical style.

[Nonnygirl13]

@vauchs That is very true ^_^ My preference is just Lee Mead in this song but Josh Groban is better in different era's than Lee :)

[Nonnygirl13]

@vauchs That is very true ^_^ My preference is just Lee Mead in this song but Josh Groban is better in different areas than Lee :)

[mark113113]

post

[stevechad]

Yeah..!

[hkg02161954]

Maybe they really like each other...thats not weird.

[ezwaitloss]

How are two men starring into each other's eyes weird? Two men together is absolutly beautiful!

[musicluv82]

Keith you are not forgotten You were brilliant in Joseph when I saw you in Edinburgh.

Josh soooo looking forward to new album Hidden Away is fantastic

[kittenlover7007]

This is really what I need right now.

[TheGospelable]

great one wooooow

[dorki3]

I wish they focus on the camera nstead of each other. Hahha

[219len]

i have to agree with that uncomfortable comment

[TineDAfromafar]

This is so funny, reading the comments here about how it must have been for Lee … The person who turned out to be the best of all of them, the one with TRUE star quality and amazing stage presence, very sexy moves, and a great voice, BEN, has now sung with the king of musicals, Michael Ball. To see him now is pure pleasure, with a national touring experience on his CV (check out the Past & Present DVD by MB), singing as clear as heaven, not one note going wrong. LOVE BEN!

[TineDAfromafar]

Well, I like the backing singers (the gorgeous Ben James-Ellis)! 

[eldichou1]

Wow they Really Can Sing WHat a Talent Keep it uP God Bless U All 

[nolbe21]

the guy at 48 seconds is ugly as hell xD

[ds403]

agree with me if you think hot women are playing the violin

[Jennyleestreet]

Beautiful singing - it truly raises you up! both my young sons are very talented singers and if they can aspire to sing and create the feelings that both these performers manage then they have achieved so much. this is inspirational for young performers just starting out

[angelheart757]

I love this duet, but It was really unfair to make the other guys be backing singers. Keith's face when he picked Lee was like "I Hate You Lee", I feel really sorry for him (Keith). But on the other hand having a CD doesn't entitle you to sing with Josh. He picked the voice that would suit his they do have very similar voices.

[hairyeahyeah]

Loved this!

Voices blended beautifully!

[salamatPanginoon]

baduy nito...

[cv60pao]

A+

Beautiful

[Mooklette]

wow both of them r really good

[aom9010]

you can tell that Lee was nervous.

[cakeabake]

they look the same !

[Cowellini]

OH my gosh... its so beautiful... from now on i wont be a nagger lol ill just be a good person :D

[12magnum]

Who gives a FAT RATS ARSE if U R Straight - gay - lesbian - bi - transexual - so many people have been TOUCHED by this song in so many different ways - its up 2 thy individual 2 respond 2 a song that tugs thy heart strings of UR heart - just B gratefill we can understand thy song & B affected by thy beauty of thy song - its sung 2 its best & is something we can relate 2 X

[bansheeebeatz]

what's the song in the background at the beginning?

[TheAustinmiller]

awesome



[Matsumura788]

Man, i love the violyn part!! Its soo amazing!!

[MrHarryhound]

It was a fix. Lee wasn't the best.

[schs19947]

Relax Lee....cuz u kind of made Josh slow up the song so he allowed u to sing...he did better the second half of the song...the first half is where he was struggling to sing with Josh

[JulieAlbright7]

I cry everytime I hear this song. It reminds me of my Papa who died of Pancreatic and Bone cancer.

[MusicalTheatre1011]

The reason they are looking at each other is that one is the teacher one is the pupil. Lee had very little rehearsal time with Josh so he was looking at him to check his performance. He was looking at his teacher. They are not singing to each other. It is a beautiful duet sung by two very talented performers..

[familytree4]

the song is not about 2 men singing to each other duh It is song about a person singing to God who helps him or her. It is a love song sung thanking God

[heathermcd89]

An amazing performance. I love the energy they put off while they're singing. Great, great talent. <3

[abvavg2000]

Of course they're singing to each other.

[DieselnDrums]

Perfect!

[Tshepo286]

Incredible guys

[musicbliss8]

So beautiful ! What an amazing couple of voices , so rapt that Lee won :-)

[jeffdarga100]

Man, LLoyd Webber is so CREEPY !!

[binary0018]

i actaully like lee mead BETTER than josh groban here, harhar

[kabata28]

Very very nice song. I just had feeling they sing for each other... hehe...

[popazz1]

Fan-bloody-tastic! Josh Grobin is an absolute STAR,and Lee Mead's proving himself equally competent! And,just a quick question to MarkFelix25,why was it uncomfortable to see two grown men staring into each others eyes?! It's the 21st century for chrissakes!Worried it might somehow appeal to the gays out there,or something?!

[magzep80]

just wow

[sweetgypsywife]

Wow...i agree..2 beautiful men...!!

[markfelix25]

the end was very uncomfortable 2 grown men staring into each others eyes and singing

[beazone]

@markfelix25 I suppose it's fully OK in music.

[kamuelamom]

@markfelix25

sorry to hear this but your own feelings caused the discomfort. I say just enjoy the performance and the talent of these artists. why read into anything which could only be in your head and your head only?

[sims9287]

@markfelix25 Why? Surely people are not so insecure in themselves that they're made to feel awkward by something like that?

-Gasp- two grown men looked each other in the eyes and didn't immediately avert their gaze & act all formal and uneasy.

If you're talking about Lee and Josh themselves then I don't think they were forced to do that so obviously they were comfortable enough to sing like that together.

[bclark97]

@markfelix25 I would imagine they were focusing on the performance of the duet, given the pressure they were probably feeling not to screw up.

An incredible performance,

[Bule1976]

@markfelix25 Why would that be uncomfortable. Are you that insecure about your sexuality?

[MoshpitManhattanx394]

@markfelix25 LMFAO ikr!!!!

[simon12291]

@markfelix25

ok mr homofobic

[YeicoTheGorila]

@simon12291 u have to admit it dude lee stare at josh all the time like if he was singing to him :S

[brati111]

@markfelix25 ....and? Start listening to without watching

[dotdin68]

amazing voices but those who say they could be brothers are lying. lee is god and josh looks like he's been hit in the face repeatedly with a shovel

[MrHarryhound]

@dotdin68

If someone had said that the other way round, I suspect you and others would be shouting and gnashing. Horrid. 

[dotdin68]

@MrHarryhound no i wouldnt, i think they are both extreme talent, i just think the "could be brothers" comments are stupid, they look nothing alike

[shadowstar1989]

i think josh might be onje of the greatest singer that ever lived.... ever

[kkizzlemynizzle]

truly beautifullll but joshs voice is to powerful..

[dasenteney]

I'll bet 5 bucks that the lady that got the violin solo was fucking elated that she got such a pristine honor, and those guys were too jealous of Lee that they probably didn't even enjoy that they got to hear Josh Groban sing live let alone that they got to sing with him on stage. Ungrateful little ass holes. I'd take that offer up in a heartbeat.

[Mainekt3]

If men on earth have voices like these, I cannot begin to imagine the music of heaven...but as this song ends, I know I have been blessed with an incredible little taste...may God bless you always. Nancy E.M.

[dreamEternal]

@Mainekt3 It Begulls the imagination, impossible to imagine!!

[bushbaby001]

@Mainekt3  Your taste is impeccable! To be blessed with such an ear is all God asks of the receiver of this rare gift.

[bushbaby001]

@Mainekt3 Your taste is impeccable!  To be blessed with such an ear is all God asks of the receiver of this rare gift. This song holds so much soul and spirituality!

[wamuq]

@Mainekt3 who is God??

[damaband41]

those other 3 guys are such little bitches

[powellk11]

@damaband41 I reckon

[jELLy1404]

Gänsehaut PUR!

[conanmammoth]

i would give anything to be able to sing like josh groban D:

[crapbacky]

^^ same hair, same voices (in this song) ... of course there own voices are unique in a way.. AmaZing!.. powerful vocal ranges.. yay..! God Bless you both..

[SweetLilithx]

i prefer this song being sung by a girl for example celtic woman:the clear sound of female voices makes me feel as if i were sitting on a cloud.A voice this low makes me think of caves. this is not an offense to man singers

[syncroneyes]

@SweetLilithx sexist 

[atthegrapevine]

I dreamed that I was in a dream that seemed real that reference this TRUTH about Jesus Christ, son of GOD!!! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!

[bookwormjb]

Two gorgeous, curly haired brunette men with amazing voices. Does it even get better than this?!

[gianinutzucky]

I could just stay in here and listen to his music all day long. no one ever gave me this feeling when singing.Josh is more than a simple person, I really adore the way he sings.

[MystedMind]

Josh Groban is a much stronger singer, but Lee Mead is getting there more and more all the time

They almost look like brothers

[marimaedae]

Have you been lucky enough to stumble upon Jal Joshua. I was, what a promising young singer.

[pumpkin2244]

They look alike! They are both great!
