Groban vs. Gibson

07.5.2009

I was working at Play last week when somebody there mentioned that I looked like Josh Groban. I didn’t think much of it at the time and it wasn’t until a couple of days later that I realized that I didn’t know what Josh Groban looked like. For my sake, I hoped he was a good lookin’ cat, so I voiced my curiosity while working alongside Kelly & Menna.

There was a bit of a silence, so I assumed he wasn’t going to give Robert Pattinson a run for his money any time soon. But as I watched them study their laptop screens, they assured me I didn’t really look too much like Mr. Groban. Then Meena’s eyes widened and she said the Closer album cover was a different story. Check it out:

    EERIE. I literally only know of him from his awesome Tim & Eric appearance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw9MaVtyS3M

    Oh wow, I’m definitely seeing double. Freakyyyy!

  3. Marie Says:

    You should be flattered that you look a little like Josh in this cover. Thousands of woman think he is the perfect catch, plus a great singer/songwriter, plays piano and drums! Plus, he’s funny and smart. If you are going to be his doppelganger, you should check him out further.

    You are definitely just as cute. The true test would be a close up picture taken ‘further south’. There is a reason women fight over front row, crotch level seats at a Groban concert. Just sayin’

    Whoa. I’ll just have to take your word on that one.

    Talk about your Design Rock Stars. We have a winner!! So great to work with you last week, Josh - er, Aaron :)

    @ LJS_Lexxa - Thanks for visiting the 903 blog. I appreciate all the efforts put forth with your images and links. I agree that outside of the closer album, we don’t really look too much alike. But if Grobs is ever looking for a stunt double for risky public appearances, I’ll throw on some shades and try to make it work. I can always use a little extra scratch.

    Hey Aaron, I’ve been checking out your website for some graphic inspiration. You came to JMU a few months back, I am very impressed with your identity work! You gave me some great advice with my logo in Dawn’s class

    …Anyway, I came across this Josh Groban comparison, and I totally thought you looked like him when you came to talk to the class. Funny how you later did that comparison!

  12. LJS_Lexxa Says:

    @Aaron LOL, no efforts, just select, copy, and a bit of flip horizontally :p

    Here’s a deal. I get you the gig for the public appearances but JGro comes with me hihi

    And the links were from my own photobucket account, and I pretty much know where everything is on there. :P Glad you agree. Also, gotta tell you, even if you’re sweet, JGro is people’s most beautiful 2008, so you’re up for serious competition. Are you up for the challenge? :P (e-mail me some pics for a wallpaper with you and JGro and you’re on)

    Hey, what’s this about Josh being ugly!?

    You differ at the nose, the mouth and the chin. Also, the eyebrow and the eye is just a bit wrong. Oh, and your hair isn’t curled in the right way. HYPOCRITE! XP

    Naw, just joking. That is pretty similar.

  14. LJS_Lexxa Says:

    excuse Eter. her idea of humor is calling ppl hypocrites and then telling them it’s a joke ROFL. she does it to me too, so … Eter, dude, come on, ease up on the pressure! :P :P :P

  15. Aaron Says:

    @Leah - Thanks for the good words about the site & work! I had fun visiting with yall’s class. Seeing the stuff y’all were doing was the best part. There was a lot of good work being done and I particularly liked your designs. Glad anything I said was somewhat helpful! I hope everything has been going well.
