is it your birthday today Joe? You kept that quiet
22nd birthday Stateside

Joe is back on stage in Pittsburgh

I have read some of the tweets and, once again, he is absolutely winning the US public over.

If You Love Me & part of Wide Awake - Thanks to @cattituude

It has been absolutely wonderful reading all the messages of support for Joe form people who had never heard of him before Saturday but who were immediately blown away by his fantastic vocals.

@akinom515 @joemcelderry91 oh yeah, he was amazing! i was VERY impressed by his remarkable vocals! I'd love to see him again for sure

Just shows what is achievable without the baggage in the UK

Glad to see Joe tweeting that he is back after a fantastic weekend.

2 new blogs up on Joe's official site ...

and this bit I've bolded caught my eye in particular:

"Joe performed at Pittsburgh Pride Festival in Pennsylvania on Sat 15th and Sun 16th June his birthday! and went down an absolute storm! The American crowd had no idea what to expect when Joe took to the stage. He produced what can only be described as jaw dropping performances. The invitations for Joe to go back to the USA have been flooding in. Joe said "I absolutely loved performing out there. They are just like the fans back home, very supportive and brilliant! I'm looking forward to going back again"
so happy and excited for him! Knew he would impress in the US and that they'd love him!

& now for the rest of his UK summer tour!

Well done Joe!!!

Bet your smile looks like this at the moment!
Mine too - so happy for him, keep seeing lovely tweets full of praise from new American fans and am so made up for him

Me too! - Aw the Americans have been so lovely and welcoming haven't they!

(I bet you've checked your passport expiry date haven't you! )

who, me?? Why would you think that?

... Feb 2020

- I'll have to check mine. That means seeing my passport photo again.

Ah, see I managed to develop a natural blind spot for the section containing my pic

Joe did an impromptu interview on Real Radio North East this afternoon talking about what he's been up to in the last few weeks and his plans for the summer ...

Making his US debut with 2 shows at Pittsburgh Pride last weekend, opening for Adam Lambert, playing to incredible crowds, and celebrating his birthday, kicking off the first show of his summer tour, next stop the 02 Newcastle, and spending time in the studio writing and recording his 5th album

And here's the YT video of Joe covering Daft Punk's Get Lucky at the Jazz Club, Soho a couple of weeks ago

I like!!

How long have we been on Part 10? I think we'd have been a bit further if I had been posting on here as much as I did on Joe's forum on his now-defunct 'joe-music' site (if I had registered earlier of course), because there was a lot I would have had to say back then because I think he's probably still the only winner which I have championed right from the beginning, and still gives me 'shivers'. I would love for him to come on this thread once, probably for a Q&A or something like that.

It's been quite quiet though hasn't it? I hope to see him on US TV soon as well. The good thing about Joe is that he has proved that you don't need millions of views on YouTube or followers on Twitter to win over people, and have some sort of success.

Would they ask him back on X Factor though? Yes, he's not with Syco anymore but many acts they get on the show aren't with Syco. I think it's down to Simon though, is it not?

I look forward to what's coming next.

Quiet? Crikey loads of us have been dashing up and down the country non-stop to see Joe perform all over the place and there's loads more to come. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. It's amazing that he can do all this, record with Dionne Warwick, perform in the USA and carry out all his charity work and music for which he was awarded The Variety Club's highest honour all at the same time as writing and recording his 5th album isn't it. Fabulous Joe!

yes I'm already exhausted too - and the summer shows have only just started Hassaan - most of Joe's fans post on the unofficial fan site Joe Nuts now:
http://www.joe-music.net/forum/index.php
...tons of ongoing discussion on there and all the latest info.
I personally like to post on both sites every so often only because this is the first place I chatted to and met fellow Joe fans, so I have a soft spot for DS - so a few of us try and post some links on here too when we get the chance, as you'll probably have noticed. For example, Joe is on Who Wants to be a Millionaire tomorrow, celeb family special on ITV, 7.15pm (sorry if that's already been posted though, can't remember):
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/...e-special.html

Think it's generally recognised that number of threads for an artist on DS isn't any indication of their popularity. There may be other sites (like JoeNuts) where fans are more active

Just waiting for a link to the fabulous interview I missed earlier this evening (I heard it was brilliant - typically my phone signal cut out just a couple of minutes into it on my way back from work). A few lovely fans have apparently recorded it, so I'll post a link as soon as one is available. Joe apparently said he has a lot of exciting things coming up which he's not allowed to tell us about yet ... going to be a very busy boy!!

That would be awesome! hehehe


Great interview really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting Echinopsis.

Just to let you guys know, you can join us on the Millionaire thread at 7:15.

It was wasn't it the interviewer, Lewis Nicholls, seemed to have done his research (not always a given with presenters as we know) and asked Joe a wide range of questions, leading to chat about current and future projects. A great listen

Thanks for recording and uploading, Paula (and capturing the shoutouts, I got one, yay! ) and well done on having your question asked and answered, it was a good one

Lewis himself also uploaded the interview on his YT, so it would be great if fans could visit that one too and 'like' it ... more likes and views could encourage him to do another interview with Joe in the future, which would be brilliant

Under an hour to go until Millionaire.

I just came on to post about 'Millionaire' - let's hope Joe does well
