Sentimental favorite
Sometimes the pop world seems to be all scowling rappers, sexy divas and angry young rockers, but there is one island of wholesomeness out there. Josh Groban has carved a niche as the prince of old-fashioned, classical-tinged pop, attracting a large audience (including Oprah Winfrey, who’s had him on her TV show several times) that’s hungry for some romantic, power-tenor expression. The Angeleno will be joined by veteran African singer Angelique Kidjo at his big hometown concert.
Josh Groban, with Angelique Kidjo, Staples Center, 1111 S. Figueroa St., L.A. 8 p.m. Saturday. $35 to $99. (213) 742-7340.
