LOL Riley you do know it was only one person with the negative comment. Obviously this person doesn't like Matt so nothing Matt does would be okay. Ummm pingusworld obviously didn't even watch the video because Matt was completely charming. Giving hugs & even kisses, taking pictures, joking with fans, rapping and putting funny sunglasses on, sharing his hat with children, and gasp even smiling throughout the video.

Yes, I know there's only a FEW Matt haters that bother to post comments on YouTube. They seem to have their own agendas, like they're still bitter that Matt got the judges' save! Yes, there are still some people on the Idol boards that say the save was "wasted" on Matt. Most likely, these are the type of people who think Matt has a "bitchface" and is rude to fans! Matt could save a kid from a burning building, and they would still say that he's a D*****bag! HAH!

Well he will never win over everyone but that is true for all of the idol's even Adam has people who don't care for him...LOL and I am one! I remember reading a review on the AI boards that stated Matt was the worse performer and that he was terrible and shrill and I LOL because ummm shrill is never a word I would use to describe Matt. So it's just not possible for everyone to fall in love with Matt but he is winning over way more people than he is not and that in the end is what matters.

There is a really old saying (older than me even! HA HA)--- "You can't outpiss a skunk"--- those people that keep raggin' on Matt (contrary to ALL evidence) are skunks - IMO--- so I just try to stay away from those places where the skunks hang out!

From MJ's...
Quote :
Matt Giraud really, really ROCKED THE HOUSE on that piano of his!!! He got a great crowd reaction with his first song (Hard to Handle) and I have to say that I LOVED it! Personally, I felt his Georgia on my Mind song during Hollywood week was one of the highlights of the season, and thought that he could really give Adam a huge run for his money! I think Matt suffered from nerves and some poor song choices along the way during the show. I really enjoyed his Georgia on my Mind on tour as well, but thought the Fray song was out of his genre and wish he would have listened to the judges about that. I would have much preferred he sing Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On, or Bryan Adam’s Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman. Both in my estimation fit his voice and style much better. I spoke with Matt at the busses in San Jose and told him how much I thought he rocked the house on the piano and that I hoped he got a contract really soon. He said, “Thanks, baby,” and put his hand on my right wrist, and then said, “You’re so sweet,” and put his other hand on my left wrist! That was so nice of him. The Idols didn’t give him the title of biggest flirt (on Larry King Live) for nothing! I got his autograph and a silly picture with him too, which was fun!

Awww, I love how Matt is able to connect to the audience with just his "banter". He doesn't need to get "preachy" (more like a motivational speaker) like Danny or grope himself like Adam! Matt can hold the crowd's attention between songs with his warm personality and piano skills.
But I had to laugh when Matt said he was playing piano in hotel lobbies 'for a long time'. Wasn't it only like 2-3 years during and after college? Because didn't he start working at Monaco Bay last year? How much has his life changed since 2008?
Sorry, I'm not sure about the exact timeline, but I think Matt actually has had a remarkably fast rise to the "top". It just goes to show how talented and motivated he is about music. He taught himself to play the piano about 5 years ago, then I know he played piano in a hotel lobby, then he was in a local cover band, then he was a dueling piano player at Monaco Bay (or something like that).
The next thing he knows, he goes to Louisville with some friends to audition for AI in the summer of 2008. It doesn't sound like he had planned on it too far in adavance because he said he arrived on the 2nd day of registration, and he had to wait 14 hours for his audition. Yada, yada, yada... he has to audition for producers, then the judges, then survives Hollywood week... And here he is now, on the Idols Tour traveling to 50 cities in 3 months! It just seems like an AMAZING journey to me, so I'm sure Matt must find it truly incredible!
Things are only going to get bigger and better for Matt's career! [I think I'm going to cry, LOL ]
