Before the pandemic, people love to go to concerts of famous musical artists because seeing their favorite singers means the world to them. However, the always jam-packed venue makes it impossible to meet them up-close.

But not to this lucky audience. She didn’t only get to meet her idol in a close-range distance but she also had the chance to sing with him.

It’s always mesmerizing when famous artists show humility and recognize their supportive fans.

Josh Groban is a world-renowned singer, songwriter, actor, and producer whose first four solo albums have all gone multi-platinum. The talented superstar is also known for his incredible live shows, in which he often picks someone from the crowd to do a duet with.

Turns out that the girl Groban decides to pick has an impeccably beautiful voice!

This teenage singer’s dream comes true when Groban invites her to sing a duet of his song “To Where You Are.” Anyone who follows Groban’s career knows that he’s not only an outstanding singer but can also be quite the comedian during his live shows.

Before the duet, Groban even decides to throw some jokes with the lucky fan which shows nothing but his very down-to-earth side.

This beautiful event happened at the Bell Centre, Montreal, Canada back in 2011 during one of his shows from his Straight to You Tour.

The lucky fan’s name is Maude Daigneault, she actually made the request, and Groban wholeheartedly granted it.

She speaks mostly French, so it’s a bit hard for him to talk to her, but eventually, she reveals she wants to sing his song “To Where You Are.”

They take turns in serenading the obviously entertained crowd.

Groban takes the spotlight for just a short while before holding the mic back up to Maude’s face and letting her serenade the packed crowd. Seeing videos of shows pre-COVID-19 can be a little sad, but hopefully, we’ll be back to attending live performances like this one soon!
