Happy 17th Birthday Josh!!!

[Rebecca (:]

As tomorrow is Josh's 17th birthday, I thought I'd make a topic for it!

Well.. don't quite no where to begin..but anyone who knows me will know that I'm pretty much obsessed with Josh.. I have been since day one of being a Libera fan. His smile is what first caught my attention, his voice shortly following. There's just something about the way he sings that I found different from others, although I can't quite figure out what it is!!! Anyways, after being devastated that he wasn't in Epsom or Canada I pretty much gave up all hope of ever meeting him, but was plesently surprised (okay, more like extremly thrilled) to find out he was on the US tour!! When I saw him on stage during the Mass in Frisco I pretty much died... and I hadn't even met him yet.. when I saw him standing there in the church loby I was about ready to pass out! The first words I said to him were something along the lines of "Hi! I'm such a big fan! oh my gosh.. I'm gonna dieeee!" That was one of the best moments of my life! Anyways, enough with this overly-long story! I'd be surprised if anyone is still reading this!! I'd just like to say, Josh, I hope you have an amazing and spectacular birthday! You deserve the best!
Much love,
An extremly big, and slightly crazy fan.

Happy birthday Josh! I'm sure you'll celebrate in style

Shadows gone, break of day
real life has begun

those are the words I'll always associate with your singing.

Thank you for all you have done so far with Libera and may your future shine bright!

Happy birthday, Josh! Hope you had a lovely birthday in the Philippines! You are simply one of a kind.

Since Josh just turned 17, and he's singing a solo in the Cebu concert, does that make him the oldest Libera soloist? Or even oldest Libera touring member?

Josh might not be the oldest performing Libera member ever existed yet (as Steven beats him by some 200+ days and we still have Sam Leggett) but I'm pretty sure he's the oldest Libera member who had a solo part at a live Libera concert

Happy birthday Josh! If anyone is interested, you can read my b-day message here: http://dearmadine.blogspot.com/2011/10/ ... thday.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So touring member, no, but soloist?

It's a bit late but perhaps never too late...

Some six months ago I watched TV and switched to some channel I had never seen before, and they showed part of the Leiden concert from 2007. Although I know really a lot of people interestet in common singing I had never heard of Libera before (and still haven't met someone who knows them).

Beside of the wonderful music they all really looked happy and excited. And one of them seemed even more happy to me. Now I know that this was Josh. That really caught me, and I'm still catching up with what happend since.

Josh, with that experience you should be able to make a life out of it. I wish you the best. And continue to sing in harmonie with others. That's far more fun than singing alone even if it's in a toilet. And thanks fot that inspiration!!

Happy birthday Josh! You can brighten up even the most dreary day The world was blessed on the day you were born!
Even though I have never met you, you have many times inspired, motivated, encouraged and given me the will to keep going thrue those hard teenager days .
There is truly know one in the world like you. You seem to never give up or lose courage, and you have such a big heart.You will never know how many people you have blessed with all that you do with Libera, and outside of Libera. So, happy birthday again, to the best friend I could ever have!
