Celine Dion Invites Josh Groban To The Stage For A Chill-Worthy Performance Of 'The Prayer'

Jun 09, 2020

Music lovers everywhere have likely heard 'The Prayer' and its stirring lyrics, with many different renditions that tug at the heartstrings for young and old alike.

One breathtaking version of the song includes two legends in the music industry: Celine Dion and Josh Groban. 

Originally, this soul-stirring song was made famous by power ballad diva Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, both known for their vocal prowess as much as their unique ability to evoke emotion with the simplest of songs.

Whether you are a fan of Celine Dion or not, there is no doubt that she has a vocal talent that few others possess. Her pipes were first discovered by her late husband and music producer Rene Angelil when she was just fourteen years old. Since then, her career has spanned the globe and several decades of powerful performances, movie soundtracks, and a permanent spot on the Las Vegas entertainment scene.

Some might say that famed singer Josh Groban is the male equivalent of Celine Dion. Groban was just 16 and taking voice lessons from vocal coach Seth Riggs, who introduced him to music producers David Foster and Brian Avnet, who created an instant star.

When these two powerhouses got together recently for a duet worthy of the highest accolades, those who were lucky enough to watch experienced something truly unique and special.

Celine was giving one of her amazing performance to a thrilled audience when seemingly out of nowhere, she called a special guest up onstage. To everyone's complete surprise and delight, her special guest ended up being none other than Josh Groban himself! What transpired next was truly magical.

Celine invited Josh to join her in singing 'The Prayer' for her delighted fans. There was an audible gasp and hush that fell over the crowd in anticipation of what would come next.

Groban's rich, mellow tones added depth and breadth to Celine's stratospheric, melodious sound, and the combination of the two singing together for a few precious moments was even more powerful than either's solo performance. As they interwove their melody and harmony together, the crowd listened in awe and became very emotional as they realized they were witness to a truly special and unique performance.

Whether you were there or not, seeing this performance becomes an opportunity to stir the soul and deepen your appreciation of the power of music. Bravo, Celine, bravo, Josh! Thanks for enriching our lives!
