Rediscovered

2002.

I see a 7 year old girl, sitting with her mother, watching PBS. And what does this girl ask her mother....

"Mommy, who's that on the TV?"

"That's Josh Groban."

I was watching his first PBS concert, "Josh Groban in Concert" with my mother. I saw it, I fell in love with it, and I wanted to hear more. I sat there, playing around nonchalantly, yet intently listening to every soaring word and note. Brilliance. I swore that my mouth was slightly agape. What was he singing about, I didn't know. I didn't even care. I couldn't get enough of that amazing voice. A glimpse of heaven maybe? I thought I was on my way to becoming a true fan until....

The next year, where I completely forgot about his music. (Who knows how that happened.) From about 2003 - early 2007. So I didn't know about anything that was coming from Josh (i.e., Troy soundtrack, The Polar Express soundtrack, Closer, Awake, LATG, yadda yadda) Let's say I was blinded by the camera flash of bubblegum mainstream. *sigh*

In 2007, I rediscovered Josh after 4 years when stumbling upon his "You Are Loved" video on Comcast. I knew I hadn't heard from him in a while, and sooner or later, I was hooked. Hooray for serendipity! I then used YouTube to search for more songs, after kicking my brain into Groban overdrive. Songs I hadn't heard of, and songs that seemed vaguely familiar. I clicked on every link there was, and I couldn't stop. Supposedly I felt extremely happy from hearing this music again? The thought of "missing out" on Josh's music for so long came to mind. And yes, I definitely did.

Tiny little shards of JGIC came flooding back. And all the while, I compared current Josh to JGIC Josh. I noticed he looked different, even sounded different. It had me at a loss, because he had matured so much since I last saw him. (Uh, almost a 5 year gap?!) The first music I heard was that classical-type sound which I loved...and it transformed into more pop and less classical. A love it/ hate it/ in between moment. It was a mixture of all three, that's how I felt.

I also began to debate whether I was a Grobanite since 2002, or a Grobanite since the few months I rediscovered Josh. I'd call it either, just as long as I found his music.
Aside from my growing worry of Josh's music changing a tad too much and going mainstream, and even though he'll be changing his material (either nearer or farther to what I first heard), every new accomplishment brings back memories of a 7-year-old me, her mother, and a curly-haired brown-eyed cutie of a singer that stole my little heart.....

And don't forget the voice that goes with it. image

Memorable quotes

"I'm not going to the prom alone, Miss McBeal...I'm not that pathetic." - Josh as Malcom Wyatt

"Big things come in small packages." - my ma

"This is what you get when you're famous...I'll never know." - Chris Groban (JGIC extras)

"There ought to be a law against bad lip syncing." - Josh

"A rumor is like a used car. To find out how far it will go, the first thing you have to do is get it started."

"Because you know it rocked!" - me


"Break the silence!!!"
