Josh Groban Sings Emmys Medley
Josh Groban sings a medley of classic TV tunes from the past 40 years at the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards held at Nokia Theatre on Sunday (September 21) in Los Angeles.
The 27-year-old international classical-pop singer performed tunes from The Golden Girls, Cops, The Jeffersons and even South Park.
“Nothing I’m singing I’ve ever sung before, except for South Park with friends,” Josh said before his crazy performance. “There’s a lot of stuff that allows me to just be me, then there’s a lot of stuff that allows me to let my multiple personalities to go play for a bit.”
Watch the video below–it was one of the few highlights from the night!

what a brutal cringe inducing performance, just awful. Please David Foster, stay out of the music business and spare us….
Best part of the whole show! He’s awesome
That sucked the big one. His voice was completely wrong for this medley. Cringeworthy indeed–I stopped listening after the 3rd or 4th song.
I thought he was terrific!
M*A*S*H had a theme song? Who knew! That beyond horrific.
He was just awesome, that was by far the best part of the night.
And I never noticed it before but he is hoooooooooooot :thud:
Josh rocked it! Not his fault they are hoaky them songs. Best part of the Emmys. Well, besides, Mad Men winning.
When you consider that Josh sings in a whole different genre, this was pretty cool.
The point of this was to be silly, take on the voice, personality of the character from each song/show. It was suppose to be a melody of songs, switching from one to another.
Josh is funny beyond anything. One day having tea with the Queen, singing for the Pope, then he kills on Kimmel, and shows like this.
Good for Josh, and stepping out of the box, you gave us a funny moment.
That was an amazing performace! He’s not only a talented singer, but a great entertainer as well. The only song I kind of cringed at was the prince of bel air theme…that one just didn’t work.
Here’s a list of all the television shows Josh made reference to during his medley performance at the 2008 Emmy’s:

Josh Groban was amazing! not only did he show he can sing.but that he can also act.Josh Groban’s performance was impressive.he was the perfect man for the job! I have loved Josh for over 6 years now.and just when i think he cant get any better or funnier he does.Josh was the high light of the emmy’s for sure! bravo Josh!bravo!
Brilliant, just brilliant!!
I thought he did a great job. It DOES take talent to be able to change your voice from style to style. like that.
When he did South Park I laughed my butt off xD
haha that was great!
People shouldn’t say he was horrible…i bet none of you would have the balls to to do that. Plus i’m sure none of you can do that.
south park, cops, and fresh prince were awsome.
the emmy’s were boring…except for his preformance.
oh man… that was pretty funny - and at his expense.
i actually enjoyed it though.
Josh got it right when he said before his performance. “There’s a lot of stuff that allows me to just be me, then there’s a lot of stuff that allows me to let my multiple personalities to go play for a bit.” That’s why he’s loved so much - he thinks and acts outside his box! He’s a very hard act to follow - so multi-talented and diverse. He keeps breaking new ground. Keep up the good work, we love you for it Josh! Forget the nominees! Josh Groban was absolutely brilliant!!! He should get a nomination next year for this spectacular performance. It was hilariously funny, creatively put together and executed with skill and genius ability. The range and diversity of Josh’s voice combined with his dorky sense of fun and humour made this the best part of the entire show.
I have seen Josh Groban in concert about five times, and think he is an amazing talent. Last night’s performance showed us another side of him, and I, along with thousands upon thousands of “Grobanites” thought he was freaking brilliant! Way to go, Josh!!!!!
Talk about talent… No one else can go from doing that fantastic “medley” to singing lyrics in Italian, French, and Spanish. He has the voice of an angel, and a fantastic personality. I met him at a meet and greet last July in NYC, and I gotta tell you… He is a heck of a nice guy!
I’m glad he doesn’t take things so seriously. I think he’s funny and cute.
I really liked his performance ;D
he is THE BEST
that was the most awesome thing i had ever seen a singer sing/do
josh groban is my new hero.. lovers him!!
Josh Groban was one of the only class acts on the Emmy’s. To those that criticize him; That was an extremely difficult medley to pull off. I guarantee you that no one could have done it better. Kudos to Josh for stepping out of his comfort zone. Josh Groban has the most pure, perfect, and passionate voice I have ever heard. I dare say he is better than Andrea Bocelli, whom I love. He is adorable, intelligent, witty, and talented. I have seen him in concert and he was magnificent. Not only is he talented, but he is also a wonderful human being.
that was SO GOOD!
I agree best part of the whole emmys! :)
