I saw Josh perform in concert last night. Oh my god he was AMAZING. Perfection! He sounds better even live! Is that possible? Only Josh can do that. He was so warm and so funny that I was sad when the encores were over and he had to leave.
Aaaahhh! Lucky you! I'm going to go to his concert for sure sometime. I plan on buying some good seats when they go on sale. Where did you sit?
Josh is Definitely one of a kind.
