Josh Groban-''Anthem'' from Chess :)

[Iguessedwho1]

Try listening to this song as sung by Bjorn-Erik Ulvatne, the Lyrical tenor from Norway. See if you don't agree it is equal to this presentation.

[Anita8891]

@Iguessedwho1 ohh,thank you,it's very good too:)

[MartaEvans90]

Why no standing ovation??? I've got chills every time i hear it.

[Anita8891]

@MartaEvans90 me too...i agree...dziekuje Marta za komentarz:)

[kuyenmotdivad]

[talentlover]

What amazing talent! ... I am trying to promote another yet undiscovered artist with a really amazing voice. Please visit my channel, watch some videos and tell me what you think.

[Anita8891]

@talentlover thank you for your comment:)

[TheAlinaLopez]

Josh, thank you for sending me all these wonderful videos. I am enjoying them all and this was a very great performance and song. :) Ramona

[Anita8891]

@TheAlinaLopez thank you for your comment:)

[OpenMindsAreKey181]

if you think he is singing about a country... you are correct. if you think he is talking about his heart....you are correct.

only josh grobans voice could truely connect them. the song was not written by him but JOSH GROBAN sang it.

i know i will never be as good as him ,and it might be a disgrace to even try to sing this after he did, but im going to try out for the talent show with this.

wish me luck

[Anita8891]

@OpenMindsAreKey181 good luck,thank you for great comment:)

[Anita8891]

@rohanthomasmann oh,thank you for your comment,:)

[1999paramorefan]

I got chills!!

[Anita8891]

@1999paramorefan ,oh,thank you for your comment:)

[Bogusiajm]

I just listened to a few other versions of this beautiful song, but no one else sings it with such a passion and with such a rich and extraordinary voice as JOSH!

[Anita8891]

@Bogusiajm Aw,thank you for beautiful comment,i agree with you;:)

[EnnaVic]

I love this song so much - Josh is wonderful and I was listening to it off my Chess DVD and wanted a copy to share with friends. It expresses exactly how I feel about my country. I don't belong anywhere else and it is in my soul after what has been a turbulent year for us with some major disasters. I also was thinking over this past week that the Norwegian people must be feeling very much this way at the moment - they are also very much in my thoughts. Thanks for posting it :)

[Anita8891]

@EnnaVic oh,me too,i am so glad to meet you,thank you for your comment:)

[SpawnMonster22]

Best Singer Hands Down! I'm Strait And I Love This Man!

[Anita8891]

@SpawnMonster22 thank you for great comment:)

[transformerwannabe]

Truely beautiful. This song could apply to just about every country in the world. It's possibly one of the most patriotic songs I've ever heard.

[Anita8891]

@transformerwannabe oh,i agree ,thank you for your beautiful comment:)

[transformerwannabe]

@Anita8891 Not a problem at at all. Thank you for posting :)

[Anita8891]

@transformerwannabe you are welcome,warm greetings

[crossmd]

@transformerwannabe You entirely missed the point here. He's talking about how he RENOUNCES his nationalism in light of his love for a woman from the Soviet Union (a taboo in the setting of the show). "Her" never refers to a country.

-"My land's only borders lie around my heart." - His country is the very thing keeping him from that whom he loves. It is a hinderance, not something he's celebrating.

[Anita8891]

@crossmd thank you for your comment:)

[Thaontle]

If 1 day i dont hear this song, i think it will be the end of the world.

[Anita8891]

@Thaontle thank you for lovely words:)

[Thaontle]

Notice in 2:51 his face got a different emotion from other ;;) He's is a great singer, his voice is so powerful, I think he is Jai's favorite singer :D. and Anita, i think you're a very good person, u replied all of the people's comment ;), hope mine too :D

[Anita8891]

@Thaontle aw,thank you with all my heart.i reply to every person,cause each time i hope i will meet good people like you,who also are passionated about music,thank you so much for your kinds words,warm greetings

[CherryGarrard]

Great song. Jai McDowall sung it beautifully on BGT.

[Anita8891]

@CherryGarrard thank you for your comment:)

[kctan71]

@CherryGarrard I couldn't stop watching Jai singing this song in BGT-audition. Glad that he won.

[Anita8891]

@kctan71 thank you for your lovely commment

[Made2158]

Wow, Josh's really awesome! I was checking Jai McDowall 's performance on Britain's Got Talent of this song and was kinda thrown into the video rabbit hole ending here! Anywho, you should check out Jai's version... live, judged, audition... and everything else that comes with that... I hope he wins :)

[Anita8891]

@Made2158 thank you for your great comment:)

[fooxfoo]

Josh is just amazing! Not only is he a great singer and makes great music, but he sings perfectly live, unlike most artsist, he sounds like his in a studio when his live!! I love him!

It's hard to believe that even 1 person would not like this video! I am sorry, but you, Sir/Madam, are not normal!

[Anita8891]

@prelevich thank you for your comment:)

[gbbg43]

He has such a signature Vibrato, I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I normally hate too much but his is perfect for him

[goldengal1989]

Goosebumps!

[Anita8891]

@goldengal1989 thank you so much for your comment here:)

[hdhoven2983]

What makes this performance special? Look at what it's for. People say that they love him for his music ( I do too!), but he's a patron of children. For this reason I'd wish for the honor to shake his hand.

[Anita8891]

@hdhoven2983 thank you so much for your comment:):)warm greetings

[LoveMusicalTheatre95]

josh groban i love you :D

[Anita8891]

@LoveMusicalTheatre95 thank you so much for your comment:)we all love him:)

[TheWanderingAngel]

This should be the British National Anthem, not "God Save The Queen"

[Anita8891]

@TheWanderingAngel thank you for your great comment:):)

[arniemonkey]

@TheWanderingAngel yes and josh should be ordered to sing it everytime!!!!!!

[Anita8891]

@arniemonkey thank you for your comment:)

[horizon123]

grobanfan2: not better than tommy korberg, this is HIS song! however josh groban makes a pretty good job!!!

[Anita8891]

@horizon123 thank you for your comment:)

[grobanfan2]

I mean uncomparable.

[Anita8891]

@grobanfan2 thank you:)

[grobanfan2]

Wow! Way better than Tommy Korberg. Just listen to the voice, it's way far better, more powerful and more beautiful. Simply the best, incomparable.

[Anita8891]

@grobanfan2 thank you so much for your comment,beautiful:)

[arniemonkey]

@grobanfan2 yes he blows that pub singer away

[Anita8891]

@arniemonkey :):)thank you for your comment here:)warm greetings

[rabagast19]

Tommy is still my favorite for this song, but he might have to share the podium with Josh. These two has such a command over the hairs in my neck, it's eerie.

[Anita8891]

@rabagast19 thank you so much for your comment,i really appreciate it:)

[Coupydog]

OMG!!! Goosebumps & that last astounding note held for 12 seconds! I've always wondered what it would cost to have Josh & a small orchestra with him to perform at my backyard party? That would be the ultimate dream come true!!!

[Anita8891]

@Coupydog Thank you for your wonderful comment,thanks a lot:):)):

[Tomage09]

I am so jealous of josh grobans voice, again another unique perspective on the worlds musical taste and culture! Thanks x

[Anita8891]

@Tomage09 thank you for your comment here:)

[MrZoobidibop]

this song is so beutifull, powerful, emtional and the best part, I sing this almost every school concert, during rehearsals we do this last, no one sings but when we get to chess, the teacher is always stunned :O XDXDXDXDXD!!!!!

[Anita8891]

Thank you so much for this comment:)

[grobanfan2]

this is truly the greatest rendition ever. With josh's beautiful, clear, rich, majestic, powerful voice, this song finally is given justice and recognition worldwide that it for so long deserved. Thank you so much Josh and it's an honor for me to hear you sing.

[Anita8891]

[Anita8891]

You are more than welcome:):)I am so glad you like it,thank you;]

[Mavur]

I must say that i really favor Josh's rendering of this song in comparison to that of Tommy Körberg...can't quite understand how anyone can think that Tommy's version is better, but hey, they're entitled to their opinions. =)

Anyways, a great upload - thank you very much ;)

[Anita8891]

Thank you so much for your lovely words:)I am so happy you like it:*

[Anita8891]

Thank you for your comment:)

[cubdukat]

And I thought the original version with Tommy Korberg was the best version...

Even though this song was written a good 20 years before Josh Groban was even heard of, it's like Benny and Bjorn wrote this just for him.

[Anita8891]

Thank you so much for your comment here:)

[exodus217]

Josh is really great... but you guys should here the version of Philip Jalmelid.. for this song he has the best version, right up there with Anthony Warlow.

[Anita8891]

Thank you for yuor comment here,oh,this verision you recommened is great too,thank you:)

[nigelcheung]

Compare with Anthony Warlow's version. I may expect Mr. Warlow preformance. By the way, Josh Groban has got a very well performance in this song!!! Bravo!!!!!

Oh,thank you so much for your nice words :):):)

[nigelcheung]

You're welcome. Mr. Groban is my one of the idol. I like his singing
