Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
It's actually double platinum now (as of the first of this month).
And today I gots to see Josh sing. I was sitting up in bleacher-like seats (not actually ON the stage) and my camera was acting funky. I'll post the pics I took later after I see if I can get the blur out of them.
Until then a pic/short article from the magazine Women's Day:

Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
Josh did open his tour in Verona,NY on February 17th -- to a sold out crowd of 32,500. A friend of mine attended and sent some pics back. I'm making icons with these for my lj josh icons community:
Opening with 'You are Loved (Don't Give Up)"
Love his jacket here
In a waist coat with a bear a grobie gave him
holding up his teddy
playing piano
For this one my friend handed him her cell phone and he talked to her neice (who couldn't make it due to a rather serious hospital stay):
on the phone
sitting on edge of stage
making a joke about his waist coat
Singing 'Machine'
fan greeting

Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
Wow those are amazing HAM thanks for sharing them here. I love the piano one (i heard some grobies at FOJG.com talking a bit about the cell phone pic). I'm actually seeing his concert here in April and hopefully I can take some pics too.
Also, I was wondering Tink if you've gotten a chance to listen to anything off of Awake yet?

Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
It's either Solo Por Ti or Now Or Never. Actually tonight I let you know, but I love it so much. I can't believe how gorgeous Josh's voice is. He has such a great talent. I really love the album!
Ooh yes, I have. I've not been listening to it as much as I would like, but I have listened to it in its entirety twice. So far my favorite songs are February Song, So She Dances - which I think is just beautiful and also another song, which I love, the only problems is, I can't for the life of me remember which track it was.

Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
Glad you've been listening Tink! February Song seems to be a favorite with many people Grobanites or not (though for the life of me I can’t see how anyone cannot become a grobie). Joshly impressed Paul Simon so much with the song that he (Simon) offered to help with JG next album and of course, it was accepted. Just a little extra info for you.
Mog thanks for those pics. The ones with him and Sweeney on the beach are adorable. I will make some icons with them and post em here when I get them ready.

Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
YAY! Glad you've gotten to listen Tinks. Solo Por Ti is probably the only Spanish song I know all the words to. teh. And I agree with HnM I can't think of anyone who has heard his music that hasn't liked it to some degree. He really is spectacular.
Mog he is gorgeous in those pics!! Love the last one.
And today I heard the song 'Awake,' again; in which he named the album after and dedicated to his family. I never get tired of listening to it:
AWAKE
A beautiful and blinding morning
The world outside begins to breathe
See clouds arriving without warning
I need you here to shelter me
And I know that only time will tell us how
To carry on without each other
So keep me awake to memorize you
Give me more time to feel this way
We can't stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today
If I could make these moments endless
If I could stop the winds of change
If we just keep our eyes wide open
Then everything would stay the same
And I know that only time will tell us how
To carry on without each other
So keep me awake for every moment
Give us more time to be this way
We can't stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today
We'll let tomorrow wait, you're here, right now with me
All my fears just fall away when you are all I see
We can't stay like this forever
But I have you here today
And I will remember
Oh I will remember
Remember all the love we shared today
And HnM is it alright if I use one of your icons? will credit of course.

Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
It was announced earlier today when the start of Josh's tour of Europe will commence. Only a few concert dates were announced but he is expected to tour for at least a year abroad. The UK dates are expected to be stated in mid March.

Re: Josh Groban ~ Grobanites Unite!~
Long post ahead.
On February 27th, a few friends of mine and I flew to Ottawa, Ontario to see Josh perform at the Scotiabank Place—its the concert Josh did on his 26th birthday—it is originally a stadium for a certain hockey team and seats 18,500. I did not see any empty seats!
Anyway, it was a long flight but his concert was late at night (by our time) so we had plenty of time to rest up.
Before the concert, there was the ‘Fan meets and Greet’ where fans have dinner together, auctions are held between fans for Josh merchandise (all the money goes to Josh’s charities), and then Josh comes in and talks and eats with everyone for a few minutes. It was fun. At one point someone across the room yells, “We love you Josh!’ and he yells back, “I love you guys more, double watermelons, no take backs!” :lol: At this point he is wearing a white dinner jacket and when he first walks in he says, “I’m so nervous I’m gonna get this dirty. It’s too pretty for me.”
The concert itself was top-notch. There were so many people still coming in after the announced starting time of the concert, that Josh just came out, sat on a stool, and just talked while everyone got to their seats. He talked a lot about his dog Sweeney and how his brother has a cat that his pup is scared of. Hearing him, sound like Scooby-Doo was hilarious! He said if Sweeney talked human he'd sound just like 'Scoobs.' :lol:
The audience even sang Happy Birthday to him and when we were finished he hid his face and said, “Don’t look at me, I’m blushing”. He was even given a Homer Simpson birthday cutout and he yelled, "DOH!" Later my friend handed him a baloon and he skipped around with it! :lol:
As with all of his concerts so far on this tour he has opened with ‘You are Loved (Don’t Give Up).” As mesmerizing, as he is on disc, he is like ten times that live. For “February Song”, his piano rose up from out of the stage and for that entire song, NO ONE in that audience made a sound. He sung every song from the album and a few from the last album: ‘Remember when it rained,’ ‘You Raise Me Up,’ ‘When you Say You Love Me,’ and ‘Mi Morena.’
Before he sung ‘So she Dances,’ he talked about the first time he came across the song. He said, “I thought it was like ‘So, dot-dot-dot, she dances?’ Or ‘So, comma, she dances’. Therefore, I’m real careful about the ellipses and the comma when I sing this.” :lol:
After the show we waited outside for autographs and afterwards he climbed to the top of this HUGE snow bank to help a fan get their hat that’d blown off. They couldn’t get it at first because his shoes couldn’t get any traction (he looked like he was running on a treadmill and going no where) :lol:. He finally got to the top of the bank however.
But the guy has way too much energy! Has dinner with fans, does a dozen interviews, does rehearsing for 2 hours, has a three-hour concert, signs autographs for an hour and a half, and then climbs this huge snow bank. Just wow!
I have pics that I’ll post as soon as I get them uploaded to my photobucket.
