The song he sings in Narnia has just been nominated for best song at the golden globes even though he won't recieve an award if it wins I expect him to be at the golden globes now

    That's great news for him. Hopefully it can give his career a bit of a boost.

    If he didn't write it then it's not really a 'well done' to him though, it's more of a nod to the writers/composers than to the singer.

    Won't it be the US version that gets the nod at the Golden Globes?

    There was also a Swedish singer, not sure which region(s) he sang it for.

    Good on him, don't like the song though, maybe it's a grower?

    I watched the film but when was his song? Was it the credits - because I went almost immediately (really needed the toilet) so would have missed it.

    It's not Joe's version of the song that has been nominated for the Golden Globe its..

    “THERE’S A PLACE FOR US” — CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE
    VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER
    Music & Lyrics by: Carrie Underwood, David Hodges, Hillary Lindsey
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPdSw2kGnOQ

    Joe's only features on the UK edition. Here is a list of all the other versions on the wiki just scroll down to international editions :)

    Here is Joe's version of "Theres a place for us' for people who haven't heard it..

    Thanks for that. I was repeatedly told that there were only three versions: Carrie's for North America, the Swedish version and Joe's being used in the rest of Europe. If that info is true, It turns out that his is only for the UK.

    cripes! that's a lot of versions of one song!
    makes some kind if sense if they are actually translated into all those languages I guess.

    Yes, the actual Narnia theme didn't get a video.

    Why would the release Joes version in Europe? He needs to break the UK first. :D

    Indeed. Joe's version is only on the UK version of the soundtrack.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia:_The_Voyage_of_the_Dawn_Treader_%28soundtrack%29#International_versions

    Click on "show" next to the different versions and you'll see the track is recorded by different people.

    Leona's "I see you " from Avatar was not available as a single download,but only if you downloaded the whole soundtrack album. I managed to find the original version by another artist to download as I liked it so much.

    At least something is going right for him. His competition doesn't seem too bad.

    "Bound To You" – Burlesque
    "Coming Home" – Country Strong
    "I See The Light" – Tangled
    "There's A Place For Us" – Chronicles Of Narnia
