As part of last night’s Emmy award ceremony, singer Josh Groban performed a medley of TV theme songs. Since Groban got his big break singing on an episode of Ally McBeal, he was an appropriate choice. Though the concept of the showtune medley is getting mixed reviews, most are impressed by Groban’s vocal chops, ability to switch between styles, and openness to act a little silly.
Groban told People, “Thank god for Nick at Nite. That’s where I learned a lot of them. As a kid, I loved watching The Brady Bunch and I Love Lucy and Gilligan’s Island.” The hardest part for Groban was apparently whistling part of The Andy Griffith Show theme. “It was hard to whistle on stage, and there was a guy telling me to whistle over the microphone, but I pulled it off.”
