As Josh as just turned 27, I’m really amazed how far he’s come since he first rehearsed The Prayer with Celine Dion in 1999. He has released 4 studio albums, 2 concert albums (the next one to come soon!) and sold the top selling album of 2007. Today’s web roundups brings you a Blast from the Past.

1. Arnold Schwarzenegger once gave Young Josh an ettiquette lesson. One word: Awww….
2. Josh stumbles into a Michael Bublé concert with hilarious results.
3. Josh writes about his AHA! moment in high school. The piece is featured on Oprah’s site. I was really interested to see how Josh writes.
4. The Groban History as featured on ABC news. Offers a nice recap of Josh’s journey so far.
