who is he?

― the Adversary (but, still, a friend of yours) (Uri Frendimein), Thursday, 9 November 2006 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

My friend's suburban, overprotective Jewish mom really likes him, and that's basically who he is - a gifted but bland singer that an overprotective Jewish mother can love.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Thursday, 9 November 2006 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

(he does happen to also play drumset pretty damned well - so RRRRESPECT)

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Thursday, 9 November 2006 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, but if you want a better description, he kind of belongs in the Andrea Boccelli/Barbara Streisand/Michael Buble bin

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Thursday, 9 November 2006 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

It seems really amazing that I've never even heard of this guy and he must be selling shitloads of records.

perennial favorite of terrible auditioners from the first few episodes of American Idol

My aunt loves him and always likes to point out that I resemble him.

Especially when you consider that most of the bands that you like probably aren't selling shitloads of records : )

someone put those flashing blue and red lights around the phrase NEWSFLASH: INTERNET MUSIC SALES SKEW DIFFERENTLY FROM REGULAR SALES CHARTS

Josh Groban didn't exactly come outta nowhere, he sang at the Super Bowl a couple years ago

No (xpost), but apparently he's an Arts High School and Interlochen camp type, and also a theater douchebag (no big shocker there).

He's really pretty tight on the drums for a professional lame-o singer though:

He looks kind of douchey on the drums when you watch it with the sound off.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 9 November 2006 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

He looks kind of douchey ~~on the drums when you watch it with the sound off.~~

but shocker to me that he does play the drums..and decently. he sure likes him some toms

― J. Grizzle (trainsmoke), Thursday, 9 November 2006 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

in the YouTube commnets:

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Thursday, 9 November 2006 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

That was actually pretty cool. (The drumming thing.)

― Rodney... (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 9 November 2006 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

HAHAHA, I always call any singer who I don't care about a "Groban".

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 9 November 2006 22:03 (nineteen years ago)

ah man, i think my mom listens to this dude :(

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Friday, 10 November 2006 01:26 (nineteen years ago)

Wikipedia says he like Unicorns. Also, he left Carngie-Mellon early, like all the great ones (Andy Warhol, Steve McQueen...um...Ethan Hawke)

― bendy (bendy), Friday, 10 November 2006 02:30 (nineteen years ago)

somewhere there's an overprotective jewish mom who is only into cryptopsy....

― m0stly clean (m0stly clean), Friday, 10 November 2006 02:35 (nineteen years ago)

If he sang "Up On Cripple Creek" at the same time as he was playing all that jazz on the drums, then I'd be impressed.

― The Redd 47 Ronin (Ken L), Friday, 10 November 2006 03:23 (nineteen years ago)

If not a song called "Boys."

― The Redd 47 Ronin (Ken L), Friday, 10 November 2006 03:37 (nineteen years ago)

HAHAHA, I always call any singer who I don't care about a "Groban".

-- Forksclovetofu (forksclovetof...), November 9th, 2006.

Nice, I'm going to use that.

BTW a friend of mine calls shits "brogans"

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Friday, 10 November 2006 03:45 (nineteen years ago)
