Piano-playing Matt Giraud, who finished fifth, is writing music on the road and talking to record labels.

I wonder when we will get anything more specific than "wrting and talking to labels". This is becoming the standard answer for Matt, and really doesn't say a whole lot.

Like who is he talking to (besides 19, and who under 19 is interested) how far along are "talks" what are they still "talking" about. ugh, I can't go on "writing and talking" because he is basically saying NOTHING. He is out of contract like the rest are (right?) so why can't he say more?

Maybe he's not out of his contract.

That was my speculation in some other thread. I wonder if there is a clause in the contract that says that if he's still in negotiations with 19E that the original contract applies.
Even if that is not the case, if he's talking to multiple labels it's probably not a good idea to put it out there -I'm guessing they like to do all the bargaining behind the scenes. I actually take this (Matt not spilling) to mean that there are serious negotiations going on.

Matt is not the only one not spilling - notice Danny won't say who he's signed by either.
