JAKARTA - David Foster's concert which took place at ICE BSD, Tangerang on June 14 and 15 presents a repertoire of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' hosted by Josh Groban and Brian McKnight.

The performances of Groban and McKnight this time repeated what they had done at the Hit Man: David Foster & Friends concert in Las Vegas, United States in 2008.

"I feel very honored to perform this song, a song that has brought the world together," Josh Groban said before performing Bridge Over Troubled Water.

The arrangement played by Groban and McKnight yesterday is still the same as yesterday's 2008 appearance. Groban started the song while playing the piano, then McKnight appeared on the second verse of the song.

Groban and McKnight's version of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' is one of the best, in addition to the original version performed by Simon & Garfunkel. The classic vocals and R&B blend beautifully with song lyrics that give strength to those who listen.

The lyrics of the song 'like a bridge over troubled water' (such as a bridge on a troubled water) itself is a metaphor to describe someone's journey in the face of death in life.

Meanwhile, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' was written by Paul Simon in 1970. This song is included in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 500 Best Songs Throughout Time.

Furthermore, the song "Bridge Over Troubled Water" won four Grammy Awards in 1971, in the category Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Contemporary Song, and Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals. Albums with similar titles were also named Album of the Year.
