Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli at the Grammy Awards
I didn't get to see the whole show the other night, but I caught about the last 30 minutes, and I've got to say that this performance was my favorite. Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli perform "The Prayer" together in tribute to Luciano Pavarotti. It's obviously a beautiful song, but what struck me the most was how effortlessly Andrea Bocelli hit those notes. He sang circles around Groban (he had an off night, okay?)! If you missed it, pretend you never heard Celine Dion sing this song and give it a chance.
UPDATE: Well, the video's been pulled from YouTube because of a copyright issue (I guess the GRAMMYs are busting people who recorded the show and put it on YouTube). Check this post to see a rehearsal clip anyway...
Sorry, Millicent - looks like they took down that video. But I posted a link to another clip of their rehearsal... try that out!

Ouch - sorry about the grammatical error... that's embarrassing! It's fixed now.

"He sung circles around Groban (he had an off night, okay?)"
It's "sang" not "sung!"
And I agree...Groban had an off-night in reaching for the high notes...and I'm a fan. However, we must realize that JG is a baritone, not a tenor.
