...released his self-titled album last November, its unconventional style baffled radio stations. That's because Groban wraps his baritone around a hybrid of opera and pop, sings in English, Spanish and Italian and, when he performs, is not afraid to look and act like Michael Bolton. If DJs were indifferent, viewers clamored for information after Groban appeared on Ally McBeal playing a loser with pipes of gold.

When they all showed up and realized that a live band was playing as well and that no one was sure about how everyone was getting paid, the fun factor plummeted for Wallenstein and his colleagues...
