Okay, so Josh Groban's hit song is called You Raise Me Up. What's the obvious joke here, people? Yep, that's the one. But don't crack it in front of some of the more serious fans... somebody did, and now Friends of Josh Groban is boiling over again! And as usual, the denizens are masters of hyperbole.

The thread starts here:

GrobanCrazy: That one lady who got all the plastic surgery and was on Oprah was talking to Kanye West and she was like, "So you know Josh Groban, the one who's song YRMU was nominated for a Grammy? and so then she says something like, "So do you think the songs talking about you know what raising up?" Thankfully kayne didn't answer and just kinda looked at her weird. But that is so disrespectful to him, why do they do that? I hate people who are so imature like that!

dishgirl1: I heard that too, and I was disgusted. She tries to be soooo funny, but yet is disrespectful. I am suprised they let her do this. she got in trouble last time for saying something smart about Dakota Fanning. Anyway, they guy she was talking to said he had never heard the song, and that was pitiful too! I know I am not watching now. The green carpet interviews have made me sick to my stomach.

This one's my favourite. He's a singer, lady, not the freakin' president.

Belinda: I heard it too...but I thought Kanye West was so full of himself...he said that he never heard of him or the song...as if Josh wasn't important

MyCutieJosh: Well, I have no idea who this lady person is, but a comment like that is not only very inappropriate, but it is also quite immature and just goes to show what a sick-minded pervert she is.

If it takes a sick-minded pervert to make that joke, I must know an awful lot of sick-minded perverts. Somebody should lock us all up for the sake of the children.

eblovesjosh: Oh, KATHY!!! That fool only opens her mouth to change feet. Most of them are just dumb, and ask the same questions over and over, but she kicks stupidity up a notch.

Don't worry, possums! We're all way better than her anyway!

PaulaCan: I believe you are talking about Kathy Griffith or Griffin or something like that. She use to be on Suddenly Susan with Brooke Shields. At the last awards show she commented "Dakota" couldn't be there because she was just admitted into rehab for drugs and alcohol abuse........ now this???? It's all for shock value, of course, and it's a shame that people endorse this!

AshG822: I heard it and quote frankly, I think that was soo wrong. Kanye looked very confused and when he said he didnt know who Josh was, I was screaming because who doesnt know who Josh is. That just shows how much Kanye West is in love with himself....IMO

Screaming?!

They're also masters of the giant rainbow-coloured signature block, but I'm afraid I'm too lazy to copy all those out. And you'll have to picture the above thread interspersed with a random peppering of short replies like: 'terrible!' and 'OMJ' and 'I'm so glad I missed that'.

Kind of like what happens when someone points out to Clay Aiken fans that the song "Invisible" is actually about a perverted stalker....Instant spooge! ;)

Oh good, I'm not the only one that occured to.
...Or is that the actual, intended meaning of the song? O.o;;

doesn't just scream, "Stalker!"?

I didn't think it was exactly perverted stalking, but yeah. Stalking. Only, in a dweeby, sort of sweet kind of way.

Or, am I the perveted one here? It's so hard to keep track.

I have no idea who Josh Groban is. Strangely, this is no bar to my enjoyment of this scrap of daftness.

I don't know if I ever heard Josh Groban sing, I may have on the radio. I have heard Kayne West though, I don't think they are the same sorta music, are they? If they don't do the same sort of thing would they have heard of each other? *Has seriously no idea about the music biz,just likes to listen to stuff*

Also, I hope he has never seen that site, if I were him, I'd be scared of them.

Ah, the rabid Grobanites are always good for a laugh. I love how they are razzing on Kanye West for not knowing who Josh Groban is. Yeah, a rising rap artist is surely going to know the name of some pretty-boy crooner with token batshit insane fans. He's obviously full of himself. Logic go BOOM.

Dude, for weeks I was convinced that YRMU was one of those Christian songs that sneaks into mainstream airplay. I mean really, the lyrics. He's totally singing about Jesus.

Josh and Jesus, sittin' in a tree...

God, doesn't that little upstart punk have any respect for deeply mediocre true artists? Honestly. Any musician worth listening to MUST be a Josh Groban fan, or else they suck and have no taste and should die.

*sporfle*

Or maybe he just *hasn't heard of Josh Groban*. I don't see how that makes him 'full of himself'. I had no idea who sang that song until about a week ago, and I only know who Josh Groban is because of fandom_wank.

Erg. I like Josh Groban. He fits my "dark tousled curls" fascination quite nicely. (Even though my icon doesn't have any.)

His rabid cult members however...eesh.

BTW, who's Kanye West?
