Wish list....

So what's on your fan wish list & what have you been able to check off? Here's mine...

I Heart Josh Groban on TUMBLR

Yes, I've taken the plunge and created an I Heart Josh Groban Tumblr site which can be found at http://iheartjg.tumblr.com/

The blog will remain here as is and will be used to update news etc, and the Tumblr site will be used to post random pics, videos,

New videos of appearances etc. will continue to be posted here.

I've posted a link in the column on the right hand side under the "Josh Blog Links..."

If I Walk Away Video (2)...

The new clip is now up on YouTube, so here it is (again)...

Go on, you know you want to.

(And random fact - I'm totally in the crowd signing scene that was recorded after the Long Island show in early Nov 2011).

Benefit for the Find Your Light Foundation...

If you'll be in LA on February 15th, you might want to check out the Musical Theatre of Los Angeles (http://www.musicaltheatrela.org/) as they're doing a benefit performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (in Concert) that will benefit Josh's Find Your Light Foundation.

Ticket prices from $25 (Mezzanine $45, Orchestra $60, VIP tickets $150)

"If I Walk Away" Video...

Congratulations to Josh on his new video for "If I Walk Away". And I also can't forget to mention what a great job his brother Chris did in directing and filming the video...

(Thanks to AOL for allowing it be available for embedding.)

If you can't watch it will be available on YouTube tomorrow.

Voce Existe Em Mim (Live)...

I've got to admit that for me, the highlight of the "Straight to You" tour was seeing Voce Existe Em Mim live.

While I quite liked the song on the CD, nothing compares to being there live and feeling Josh's energy and that of the band.

(And if you've a good connection speed, make sure you watch it in 1080p HD.)

Ok, so now over to you. Leave a comment letting me know what your favorite song was on the "Straight to You" tour set list.

Back in the studio...

Yes, you are reading correctly.  Josh is back in the studio.  Of course, it still could be 4 years until we hear any new music, but I'm hopeful we'll get the new album without the 4 year wait we had for "Illuminations".

Josh's tweeted about his excitement of going back to the studio.

This particular tweet saw Josh receive a large number of suggestions, including a number that Josh retweeted including:

RT @SawyerGB: @joshgroban a radio comedy set in 1959 in Wales!

RT @Dracholos: @joshgroban Bacon. Record bacon.

RT @Symphanie_: @joshgroban Andrea bocceli's spaghetti commercial song, you know the one?

RT @theleslie: @joshgroban YOUR FACE. That's right. Find a way.

RT @adimike55: @joshgroban Record something to get our minds off of the damn Mayans. They are threatening to ruin baseball with their silly calendar.

Then he tweeted:

And finally:

New Video Update - "If I Walk Away"...

Exciting news, the new video for "If I Walk Away" that was shot and directed by Josh's brother Chris will be released to the public on AOL Thursday and then on YouTube Friday.

Both Josh & Chris also shared the news on Twitter:

Chris filmed footage from on the road as we as live footage from the tour, and was shot in black and white.

Josh's official site has released a few stills from the video and they're below for your viewing pleasure. They were originally released to FoJG members before being made public a few hours later.
