I got few stories form the Portland concert last night. Here goes:
Josh received a bouquet of roses from a cute little girl. He responded, "Is this all for me? It's a lot. Thanks."
Someone handed him a clapping toy (the wooden ball tied by a string on a flat stick). He got back on the center of the stage. He joked, "I would practice singing in front of the mirror in my room." He made the clapping noise through the toy. He mouthed, "Thanks so much," while gave appreciated looks. Laughter filled the room.
A grand piano rose up from the floor when Josh pretended he was the magician making it appear. He was such a goofball and that's why we love him.
After the song "So she dances", he stood up and faced the audience. I'm only paraphrasing what Josh said. He said, "So She Dances is such a romantic song. I wondered (between constellations and dreams) is really true because I don't get it. Back when I had a girlfriend, I asked her if it's true. She said yes. Girls love this romantic stuff. But for us guys, come on, can we really be like this for our ladies? Am I right, men? Okay, guys can fall for it too. We love the romantic kind of love too. Men tend to have a hard time showing your lady how much you love her. So put on my music and let it show how much you love her through Groban's mouth." Laughter erupted. A man in my row shouted, "We love you." Josh continued to say, "Oops that sounded a bit dirty. But you know what I really mean."
Angelique Kidjo returned to sing her duet with Josh. The song is called Pearls which is about an African woman struggling with life. After they sang, Angelique said, "I'm going to teach you to dance." Josh joked around and did the chicken dance. Angelique responded with, "Come on. This is how you do this." She moved her legs so he copied her which turned out fine. Next, Angelique got him to move his hips. He moved his hips as in hoola-hooping. He joked about his hoola-hoop moves. He tried putting all the moves together. We laughed because he was entertaining to watch. He is such a genuine, loveable person. Josh and Angelique ended shaking their booties and their bottoms touched. They did a goofy grinding motion. They started laughing as so did the audience. They separated. Josh turned back to her and said something about the heat. Again, the laughter filled the arena.
Someone had given him a glow stick earlier. He joked that next time when he returns, he should changed his act. His act will be the rave as he made raving whirling sounds while his hand waved the glow stick around. He said, "Now that would make an end of my career." More laughter flooded the room.
At one point, he sat down on the edge of the long stage jutting out. He said to his fans, "I hope you don't mop me because I want to sit here." People from the floor were standing around so close to him. He sang a Sweeney Todd's song called "Not While I'm Around".
