Ah I'm so sad...no one went to today's event?

No one went to the Grand Rapid event? I was hoping to read all about when I came home.

Not sure if everyone saw this but his is some news and video from today's event...

I can't wait to just get out there and performing again" said Giraud. "I miss just playing in front of people. I wish there was a piano here now. I can't wait to get back and sing."

God I love this man's passion for music.

Beware there is footage of him holding a baby!

Oh shit look at this picture!!!!!!!!

Quote :

"We got a text from him yesterday, and now he's here today," Taylor said. "The fact that he wants to say 'thank you' to West Michigan for all the support -- he really wants to be that touchable, that accessible. He just is really, genuinely appreciative of the support."

He really is the sweetest most humblest man ever. He truly deserves great success!

Quote :

Steve VanWagoner, Celebration Cinemas' vice president of marketing, estimated more than 200 people turned out to greet the singer, who was scheduled to meet fans for two hours.

Not bad for a last minute event with barely any promotion!

Hey Jenna:

I also found a couple of videos of Matt meeting and greeting fans in GR:

Here they are:

"I can't wait to do some good music, do some songs I haven't done on the show," Giraud said. "And no judges -- which means I'm excited."

OMG this would be amazing! I so want to hear new songs!

More pictures....

LOL believe me when I read that he was going to be making an appearance I thought real hard about going but it was even a little too short of notice for me to consider. However if he would have been performing I would have definitely gone!

I am so gald you got to meet him this time. That must have been amazing for you. I don't know what I'd do if I met him. Probably stand there shell shocked and act like a big 12 year old fangirl.
