My brother Chris and I would like to thank you for the wonderful...

My brother Chris and I would like to thank you for the wonderful birthday wishes…We have the same birthday 4 years apart so we have grown accustomed to sharing things from a very young age. Like this very tiny cupcake for example. We cut it in half, put 29 candles on my side and 25 on his. Once we peeled the wax off it was delicious and made us grateful for the support and love of our friends, family, and fans. 29 is a big one. It’s not just the preparation year for the decade long “dirty thirties”. It’s a year to reflect, dissect, connect, protect, gerblect and frombect. And I plan to, believe you me. So again, thank you for remembering and for always being there for me. Back to work!

Late, But Not So Late Happy Birthday Wish
Hey Josh,
I hope you had a good time on your birthday even though you were busy working. I wish you the best that life can offer you, lots of love, good health, and success. God blessed you with so much talent. Please don't ever change, you're very nice and kind. I'm in love with your music, every piece of music you play, every song you write, every song you sing, every album you record is amazing and beautiful as you.
Can't wait to see you perform and shake your hand :)!
Love you
T.Cup C.
There aren't enough "tiny cupcakes" available to thank you for your music and your 'youness'- (okay, a new word, maybe).
Sometimes we come to a place where we must redo, startover,etc. I'm there--and am so grateful for your music in so many levels.
If everyone whom you've touched was holding a "tiny cupcake", it still wouldn't be a fraction of the light you give.
Thanks again-------You Do Rock! P.
Happy Belated Birthday!!!
That cupcake is a sadddddd looking cake lol:)
Happy birthday guys

Happy belated birthday
Hey Josh! I'm celebrating my birthday today and saw yours was recently. So Happy Birthday! Btw how on earth did you get that many candles on that cupcake?!
Happy late, but sweet birthday!
That's so sweet! Happy late birthday! (:
It's great to watch both brothers are so closed (:
That's real love.
29 Candles? plus 25 candles?
I see really teeny-tiny candles! With little teeny-tiny wicks and little teeny-tiny flames. Yes, definitely. Happy (belated) Birthday to you two handsome and in many other ways special Groban brothers. May you both have a wonderful, fulfilling, and precious year ahead, and especially a sublime year ahead to match your teeny-tiny, sublime cupcake covered with all those teeny-tiny, glittery, sublime candles.

I definitely thought of you when I was making a Funfetti cake the other day. :) The first piece of it I dedicated it to you and the second to your brother. lol You are amazing Josh! You and your music has helped me through many a rough time and a couple of birthdays. I just hope us fans can repay you in some way.
Sending you lots of love and hugs,
Patricia J. xxxx

Un abrazo,
Patricia
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh cute man
you guys are cute...but ummmm Chris looks a bit..... shy-ish??????????...shame man :)
So glad you both enjoyed your special day
Josh, you and Chris share a birthday with my brother and niece, so naturally at dinner I proudly announced that it was "someone else's birthday...that's right Josh Groban" and it was nice to get smiles from my family instead of the head shaking and sighs that I used to get from them five years ago.
They are ALL closet Grobanites...I just know it!
I'm sure you will have a wonderful year on the way to the big 30:)
Happy Belated Bday!
I too have a brother whom i share a birthday with..well almost we're 4 days apart, thus...my parents thought it would be too much of bonanza to have 2 bdays in a space of 4 days!...so we had to share the party. :D..My first solo birthday was when my brother moved out of the house...and i got plenty of them after haha..because he's 8 years older than me! He got older much faster than I did..haha.. But i do love him! He's my favorite bro!(is that a bad thing to say??) ;)BTW I'm hitting 29 here pretty soon too :D. '81 babys RULE!
29 & 25 birthday!!!
I´m so happy for both of you :) :)
It seems you really enjoyed your birthday!!!
It is always good to share thigs with our brothers!! To have the same birthday it´s fantastic!! :) I´m so glad you love your brother as he loves you too!!! Keep that relationship forever!!
Love you two!!! :) :)
Lots of hugs!!! :)
I am so glad you and Chris had a great B-day
That is so great, at least the cupcake was good... my sister's have the same situation on having their B-day on the same day but they are actually 8yrs apart. I will hit my 29th B-day this yr too in October, big thrill, WooHoo!! Just let it slide, I'm still a child at heart. See you whenever you go back on tour...have fun. Now i will getbect back to my studies.Luv yah...
Sharing Birthdays
Josh and Chris - I SOOOO understand all about sharing birthdays! My oldest brother and sister are the same day, two years apart, and my other brother and I...had birthdays a day apart (he was 8 years older and didn't consider my entrance to the world much of a gift). So there - we ALL had to share. (What WERE my parents thinking????!!! OK...so thinking was not at the top of their list when my siblings and I came to be. But still...really!) Glad you could share a cupcake together, and hopefully you shared your "toys" and other fun stuff that you received for your birthdays this year. It's really not so bad after all, right? The best to both of you this year!
Happy Birthday
Josh I wanted to send you a very Happy Birthday. I have a question tho, my mother was just diagnosed on my bday this past Feb with brain cancer and we both are huge fans. She really would like to know when your next cd comes out? Do we know a timeline yet?
Thanks
Shannon

Happy Birthday!
Glad you and Chris had a good time on your birthday, Josh. Have a good year!
In my time of need......
Dear Josh,
If you do read this, then I hope it will touch your heart as you have touched mine.
Six years ago this summer I will have heard your voice for the first time. My Step-Father had just passed away and my Mom and I were on our way back home from the hospital; a 3 1/2 hour trip. The car was quiet; an eerie quiet. I wanted to comfort my Mom, somehow; but there were no words I could say to help ease her pain and mine. I turned on the radio, hoping to find something soothing to the soul. As you began to sing, "You Raise Me Up" we both began to cry. Our souls were touched in a way that only a true artist blessed with a gift from God can.
Thank You for YOU, sharing your talent and bringing so much joy to us all.
I had the wonderful opportunity to be at the Walmart Home Office when you performed. To SEE you and hear you - I was in tears! The Razorback jacket you wore in this photo, I actually won in an auction! Another precious memory I have of THE MAN who has the voice of an angel; the angel whom comforted me in my time of need.
I pray you read this and know - THAT YOU ARE LOVED!
With Love and Admiration,
Dayna
Smart alec :)
Hi Josh :)
Every month my son,who's Autistic,puts family members Birthdays on a HUGE calender,(he's done it for YEARS). Yours appeared one year (a while ago) & he always wants to know what kind of cake anyone on his calender with a b-day is having..... I usually just guess for you & Chris, this year I can honestly tell my Christopher that it's a (belated) VERY WAXY CUPCAKE that we will cut in half,and decrease the amount of candles to decades, you brothers are gettin old man!!!!!!!!!! I just turned 38 Jan 25th, so I shouldn't talk huh..
Thanks for the laughs as always :)
BTW..What happened to those cool "retrospecs" ?(I can't spell-sorry-deal!!)
Sharing birthdays, better late than never.....
Josh & Chris,
I share the same birthday with my twin sister (makes sense doesn't it?) AND our father. As for learning to share...did you guys ever get just one present you HAD to share, my sis & I did...big bummer. At least while our godmother was alive we recieved 3 birthday cakes ;D, wish I had had a pic to post of that. So I am in my "dirty thirties"? ummm, have to think about that........
Your Welcome My Darlings
Surely you had a bigger cake than that itty bitty little cupcake. Of course, I know you are kidding, right? Please say yes - I would hate to think about you and Chris getting constipated from all that wax. BTW, I'm 29 and holding. (wink) Gerblect??? Making up your own vocabulary now, eh? Smarta$$!
thanks so much
Dear Josh,
for this wonderful Picture..it looks so sweet..it is so amazing to know,that you and your Brother Chris had such a nice Birthday togehter...
The best in this World,Josh for you and your family...
You look great:-))
And Chris is also looking very good..smile
Love youuuuuuuuu,Josh....many greetings from Elke
Haha!
Josh, you had me laughing at gerblect and frombect haha! Glad you had a nice birthday, and that you were able to successfully share that very tiny cupcake!! My brother and my cousin both share a birthday with you and Chris, and they are 4 years apart as well. Take care :-)
Always a Grobanite!
Hello again Josh!
I'm glad that you two had a great birthday! My sister and I are two years and a couple days apart, so we know what sharing birthdays are like!
Thank you for being such an inspiration to us, your fans, and I look forward to listening to your music for years to come!
Cheers!
-Kerry :)
Ps. You both are adorable looking! ;)
LOL old man! Glad you had a
LOL old man!
Glad you had a good one! :>
You Rock Josh Groban....
You Rock Josh Groban.... despite those gigantic nerdy glasses and the creepy cupcake story
poor Chris...
I'm pretty sure the guy on the right is thinking, "Seriously? The dude in the toque and spectacles is the star? What a world, what a world."
And nice cupcake!
The little pastry in your hand looks pretty tasty, too.
;)
Casey
I just wanted to let you know how many ways your music has touched my life.
My mom is a huge fan and listens to your music all the time. We worked for an elderly woman who had a stroke and was unable to talk. When we would put your cd's on you could see a calmness come over her face and she would start humming the words. And that's when I became a fan.
I suffer from severe anxiety/panic attacks, but was able to see you at Mohegan Sun in CT and was able to stay and listen which was an amazing experience for me because normally I wouldn't even be able to go out at night.
I have a 4.5 year old daughter named Casey with Autism. From a very young age she absolutely loves listening to your music. She could be having a complete meltdown due to her Autism and I can put in your first cd and we can't believe how much it calms and soothes her, she stands with her arms in the air and spins and dances and just becomes so calm and happy. It's amazing! This is one of the few things that actually can calm and sooth her. Her pre-school teachers have seen first hand how your music affects her and have made copies of your cd's that they use at school to help teach her. Your song "You Are Loved" has such a special place in my heart because the words are as if I am singing to Casey.
My best friend of 22yrs passed away suddenly in Aug. 2009, and I'm having a hard time dealing with the realization that it happened, and I'm numb to the reality of it. But when I put in your cd's it helps to get a release out of me that I so desperately need to get out. I'm sure you know the songs I'm thinking of.
Just wanted to let you know how amazing I think you are and how much your music has touched my life. Thank you so much! Erin

Weird, isn't it?
Happy belated birthday, Josh. My sister, Alice is 4 years older than me. Our birthdays were in June. We were both born on the same day 4 years apart, so I know what you mean about sharing. My sister is the older one and she can't remember a birthday without me. I joined your mailing list in 2004 but I guess it didn't convert. Take care.
