Not that good - By: N. Tate, 08 Aug 2008 
I am a big fan & the dvd I own of him in concert is superb,but this album has one or two good tracks but does not come up to his usual standard.What the enhanced bit is I dont know.
Beyond Compare - By: Sue, 01 Aug 2008 
What can I say that others before me haven't said in superlatives. Josh Groban fuses heart & soul together into music beyond compare. God's gift to this world.
Well, I was bowled over by the ones in English. - By: JESS, 28 Aug 2007 I was treated to this as a present & couldn't wait to pop it on & sit back with some chocolate (well he's such a handsome chap too isn't he?!). But I was reluctantly disappointed overalll. I wish there was at least a translation of the Italian (or are they in Spanish? I have no idea)tracks because not having a clue what he's singing reallly takes away most of the experience for me.
The English tracks are amazing however! He sounds as if he is reallly living the lyrics. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
The other tracks are a bit uncomfortable to listen to as 'instrumentals' (for instrumentals they might as well be for me). The CD booklet insert does have the lyrics of alll songs but no English translation of the non-English ones. Boo!
But I'm not knocking you, Mr Groban. Your talent is fab. Just please make sure the powers that be let us language-limited folk in on what the hey-ho you are warbling so beautifully on about. Pretty please.
STUNNING FROM BEGINING TO END !!!!!!!!!! - By: Mr. D. Lamb, 11 Jul 2007 i first heard of josh through an episode of allly mcbeale ( sad i know )but after his performance hunted him out buying his debut loved it, then came closer this boy can sing .this is a stunning album full of surprises stand out tracks to many to mention just buy it & enjoy
Almost a 5 Star Album - By: , 14 Mar 2006 
Closer is the second Josh Groban Album I have in my collection, he should not be simply compared to other singers, especiallly not Westlife, & he certainly should not be assessed on "You Raise Me Up" alone. I found myself reallly enjoying the non English tracks, in particular Si Volvieras a Mi & not the english ones although I do like Broken Vow. Josh Groban may not have the power of a Russell Watson but he has a voice I personallly enjoy listening to, If he was to combine the non english tracks from his first album "Josh Groban" with the ones on "Closer" then this would be a 5 star album.
P.S. If you buy the Closer+dvd version (the making of Closer) he does an excellent cover of Jackson's "She's Out of My Life".
