Following the best-selling album of 2007-the #1 Pop, quadruple-platinum Noel-singer, Josh Groban headlines a new CD+DVD set, featuring live versions of several of his hits plus appearances by Angelique Kidjo and Lucia Micarelli. Filmed in 2007 in Salt Lake City, in honor of his first arena concert, which was held in the same city where he performed at the 2002 Winter Olympics closing ceremonies, Awake Live raises up ever higher the most popular young Adult Contemporary star of our era.

 One of the Best Live Concerts on DVD!!! November 21, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
For Josh Groban fans you won't be disappointed. 20 songs to sing live and it actually keeps you awake during the whole concert. Mixes some fast up beat songs with some slow ones. Great Concert ending with the two most popular songs "You Raise Me Up" and "Awake" as encores. The CD doesnt have much to offer however, but the DVD is defiantly worth checking out. For those of you who doesnt like listening foreign language songs it might not be for you cause he has a couple in there. Me myself used to not like his foreign language songs but it started sounding good to me. I guess its those kind of songs that you have to get used to. BUT this CD/DVD combo is defiantly worth checking out especially if your a Josh Groban fan and for those of you who doesnt know who he is, BUY THIS CD/DVD and you'll know why he is such an Amazing and Talented singer!!

Read great reviews on this, however, the majority of songs are not in English. Even if I was biligual, it sounds as though he is singing in at least 4 different languages. While I don't object to songs in different languages, I prefer not to have almost an entire CD of songs I can't understand other than the melody. Probably will not play it very often, or maybe I will give it to someone who wants it.
Lackluster entry lacks good English pop songs September 10, 2008

I really think Josh Groban is a talent and sings well. What a shame he is picking particularly bad songs and many of them, sorry, NOT sung in English. This man could have the appeal of Barbara Streisand or Neil Diamond or his contemporary, Celine Dion, and fiddles with South African twaddle and seemingly drug induced songs about falling, etc. The best song on the dvd is "You are Loved" and its not even featured on the accompanying cd. This is a really lame set and is priced very high. I hope that Josh, who deserves a long lasting career, picks better songs, continues to release his cd/dvd combinations, teams up with Celine Dion and other pop vocalists occasionally, and enters the stratosphere rather than lingering in the depths of weird and only personally relevant to him music. You can sing Josh...now make us all fall in love with some great new English songs please. I just about fell off my chair with your useless South African song on this album. Sorry it didnt capture my attention or interest at all - though it clearly satisfied some need for you. Tackle a few well written new upbeat popular songs in your next venture. Sing a duet with Celine. "You are Loved" was heartfelt and yet it too only scratched the surface on this album of what you are truly capable of and destined for. The world needs a better effort from you with songs that truly soar. This album underwhelmed, sorry.

I LOVE THIS CD!!! Josh Groban is beyond amazing, and I simply never get tired of listening to him! I think the live recording adds something to the energy of his performance as well, so I recommend the live version.
