You've probably seen my sig. You probably noticed that the whole song in it is one of this man's songs.

Well, tonight, August 22nd, I went to his concert. Paid for my ticket, got a REALLY nice seat, and on the concert went...

His 'preloader' was an African singer I couldn't understand a word of. Speaking of which, helping poor people in South Africa seems to be his personal cause at the moment, as he spent time talking about it.

Then, there was a 30 minute intermission...that they didn't tell anyone about. So NOBODY went to the concession stands between acts. Morons. Oh well, their lost revenue.

He went through songs from his new album only...he didn't sing "To Where You Are" during the concert. He did, however, sing, "You are Loved." "When it Rains" "So She Dances" and "You Raise Me Up." He also sang several songs in other languages, mostly Latin, (I think) but also one in Spanish.

Amusingly, he also sang a song from the musical Sweeny Todd. Yes, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who cuts throats and makes them into pies. "Not While I'm Around" was the song from the musical score sung.

While I was close enough to the stage to see Josh Groban quite clearly, the fangirls had the stage locked down. And ONLY the fangirls ran up to the stage. While I was hoping to get close enough to tell him he should make a Christmas CD, I failed in that objective. It didn't seem right for a man to approach the stage.

Josh is not a dancer. He doesn't even try. Half the time, he sat in a chair while singing, or just walked around. Once he sat on the end of the stage surrounded by fangirls. Brave man. Fangirls are scary things. Especially when they have floor seats. Those are the hardcore fangirls. Then again, I am convinced that most artists shake their booties because they have to do something to cover up for their somewhat inadequate voices. Josh doesn't NEED to dance. He can sit on a chair, and people pay to see it.

Josh does have a sense of humor. Some of it self depreciating. He also made jokes about 'So she dances.' "Gag me with a spoon romantic" he called it. He commented on the ladies first. "Lot of ladies in the audience tonight. Yes, I see you. You're lovin' it. Lots of gentlemen in the audience too. Lovin' the ladies next to them." Then he said to the guys, "Yeah. My heart, from Groban's mouth. That sounds so wrong, yet so Right! ...if it works, have a GREAT night, guys..."

He also had a piano repeatedly come up and down using a lift. He liked standing on the seat as it came up. 'Cheep Thrill' he called it.

I took a couple pictures of him at the concert with my cellphone, but sadly, my cellphone's not exactly good with pictures.

^_^ Awesome, I'd love to see him in concert someday. and btw, right as I started reading this thread, my playlist got into the mood, and started playing Remember Me.
