Besides the finalists, the two standouts were 17-year-old Iraheta, whose command of her voice, a by-now overdone cover (Heart’s “Barracuda”) and an audience continues to make me want to verify her birth certificate, and Giraud, who unfortunately became dismissed during the season as a Justin Timberlake wanna-be. Fie. Not true. He’d already proved he’s a competent piano man, so his “Georgia” was no surprise. But when he delivered a flawless “Hard To Handle” with effortless flights of phrasing and a crazy, Billy Joel-at-a-rave keys pounding session, it was a revelation. Somebody put this kid on a supporting tour as a solo act, now

OMG during his second solo in Beggin did you see how he grabbed the microphone stand and did that little dance? Now that is sexy...cough cough Adam!
I can't wait to see Beggin in concert! LOL I am now officially going to 3 shows...yes I am obsessed!
I am going to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Grand Rapids.

I love that Beggin song and the line of men in their suits is nice and Matt does that little choreography best,of course. He grabs that mic so sharply and he can be fast as a lightning in his actions! Translation, Jenna; heavenly fabulous charismatic artist or something like that..

You now see that how sexy the second solo is, right? I'm just bummed that it cuts out before he finishes singing - but I will take whatever I can get.

No sgr he finishes singing. She cuts off Scott but Matt sings his whole verse. I still like the first solo best because I just love his soulful voice there. Also did you guys notice right after Scott sings his first solo Matt sings oohooh? Too cute!

Mine cuts out at "tried so hard.." and misses "to be your man". Yes, I'm psycho enough to know all the words that are supposed to be eminating from his mouth.

Sgr that is Scott's part. Matt's part ends right after he sings understand then Scott goes into tried so hard. You can hear Scott singing those words.

True - and he riffs just amazingly! LOL this girl is too funny - screaming her lungs out. And DANG he knows how to make that pause in Georgia long enough to have us longing for him to continue...Goosebumps all over, I tell ya!

Okay my friends and fellow Giraudians....I am yet hypervenalating again. I really enjoyed my vacation..but glad to be back and enjoying all the vids and news and comments and pics of Matt. Jenna...how on earth do you get to go to 3 concerts???? I'm so jealous. Matt is going to be only 1 hour away from me tomorrow night and I have no funds to get tickets...my daughter finally agreed to go with me and now my son wants to go to...urgghhh wish I would have seen into the future and put away the cash to go. Anyways.....
I would love to hear him sing Georiga here in Georgia...i bet the crowd will go wild. And what I wouldn't do to see Hard to Handle live and in person. I have no doubt that if I was there I would literally be screaming and crying when Matt is introduced and comes out on stage! He is getting better and better with each concert.
I love his new ending the Georgia....gosh can that guy riff or what????? I love the reviews out of Miami! GoMatty G!1!

Hope you had a great vacation! Good to have you back. This is almost heartbreaking!! I mean so close and.... URGH I feel so bad for you. No way to sneak in without paying?? Guess not...probably to much security.
