Hello Mary Ann, it was nice of you to share You Raise Me Up.  Although Josh Groban has a better singing voice in my opinion than Brian Kennedy in the Secret Garden, Secret Garden I believe were the original singers of this song as far as I know. If it was not for Tracey Campbell singing it with Brian, I probably would not like it as much. Listen to their link below.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcZMjZ_rQAQ I really enjoyed the 9 year old's version when I heard it a year ago, as well as other young children singing that song on You Tube.   The female vocal group: Celtic Woman also do a good job singing it below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfwlj0gba_k YBIC  Eric
