Can you imagine two of your favorite stars getting together to sing one of the most iconic opera songs of all time?
Well, that happened recently when Josh Groban and Kelly Clarkson took the stage in order to sing the wildly popular song, “All I Ask of You.” This song is from the “Phantom of the Opera,” so it will sound familiar to all those who love the famous opera.
This song was originally scored for the opera in 1986, but it has become a classic arrangement that continues to wow audiences. And Groban and Clarkson were probably the two best choices for this song. After all, their voices go together very well, and they clearly have chemistry while on stage.
Josh Groban starts out the song, his deep and instantly recognizable voice instantly wowing the crowd.
The star got his start as a rehearsal singer for a variety of high-profile performances, including one where he stood in for Andrea Bocelli, in which he sang the song “The Prayer” with Celine Dion. He was only 18 at the time, but his beautiful, strong voice made him an instant hit. Since then, he has been performing steadily, wowing audiences all over the world with his classic and soulful voice.
Soon after Groban begins his part, Kelly Clarkson joins him in the duet.
If you’ll remember, Clarkson became famous during the first-ever season of “American Idol,” which premiered in 2002. Throughout the competition, the judges and audience alike were amazed by her successful performances show after show. After she won the competition, she went on to become one of the most famous “American Idol” stars of all time. Her song, “A Moment Like This” reached number one on the Billboard charts, and her second album, “Breakaway,” even won two Grammys, so it’s clear that this singer is a star.
While both famous and incredibly talented, they usually don’t perform the same kind of music.
They are definitely in two separate genres, and their audiences differ slightly. However, stars this big are often instantly recognizable by most fans, so this dynamic duo performing together didn’t come as too much of a surprise. In fact, it brought lots of fans together for a chance to experience something new from these incredible artists.
The two singers performed this number for a PBS special.

The audience seemed thrilled with the performance.
After all, these two singers both have incredibly powerful voices and didn’t hesitate to bring a strong and powerful performance. Plus, since they are such beloved musical icons performing an iconic song from a very popular opera, the performance almost had a nostalgic feeling to it. You could see people in the crowd mouthing the words to the tune, clearly overcome by the beauty of the music.
While this may not have been a performance you would expect to see, it’s clear that it was a huge success.
Both Josh Groban and Kelly Clarkson made it obvious that neither of them is going anywhere soon. Both those in the audience and those watching at home should look forward to the next time this dynamic duo performs together.
