So as I'm sure you lovelies all know, Matt tweeted the following today:

Coming up with some great ideas for my shows in November and Jan. Might even take a request or two! And a serenade for the biggest fan!
No doubt everyone wants to know what it takes to be thought of as that #1 fan.
But I was wondering, if Matt declared YOU his #1 fan what would be the one song you would want him to sing to you? (And you can ONLY choose one song, and it' can't be one of his original songs that he's writing now because that's to easy/obvious. Lol. )

Great Topic!
Well I choose one of his originals ! But since you said we can't do that I will play by the rules of the post!
There are just so many songs that I want to hear him sing so it's hard to pick just one. Right now the song I'm loving is Come Home by One Republic so I choose that one with the option to change my mind!

I'm daydreaming long and hard on this one.
hmmm.....it would have to be So Small. And he would have to make the same faces that he did on AI when he sings it. All that passion. I loved that performance. I would faint.

Well, it depends. If he's serenading ME, then obviously it needs to be a song about ME, so I'd have to either go with "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" by Prince (cause, obviously, once he sees me he'll fall in love with me) or "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" by Sammy Kershaw (a country song, but he would change it up to sound even more awesome, I'm sure). I'd turn to goo right in front of his very eyes. Sweet.
If he would want to do a funny song instead, I would request "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred and he would HAVE to dance for me. Cause I'm picky like that.

OK, I will play. I'm going to go with the whole serenade idea so I chose a pretty song. The song is "She" by Elvis Costello and since I suspect many of you have not heard of it, here is a video of a live version (it was recorded for the Notting Hill soundtrack).

Oh Sgr! Thanks for posting this. I wasn't familiar with this song, and you are right....Matt would melt a lot of hearts singing this!

Oh this is a great thread!
Mine would have to be "Have A Little Faith In Me" by John Hiatt from Benny and Joon.
I have ALWAYS loved this song and Matt has mentioned he would like to do it-- so there you go Matt! You can sing it to me!!!
(Great choice sgr with "SHE" - great song from a great movie!)

There's some good stuff here! Okay, this was a really hard question for me to answer even though I asked it. Lol.
After much thought, I think I would want Matt to serenade me with Maxwell - Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) (one of my favorite songs and I'm pretty sure I'd melt into a puddle and then evaporate if Matt sang it to me):

I absolutely love that song as well. I hadn't heard of it before Matt mentioned it but now its one of my most played tunes. I hadn't realized it was from Benny and Joon. Now I have to go rewatch the movie.

Great songs you have here! I would love to hear his rendition of The Luckiest by Ben Folds. Edit: This feels like a request though. So I keep searching the serenade. I take this thread way too seriously,lol.
It´s November already! Only couple of weeks and the luckiest ones will be at Matt´s concert. That is amazing! Can´t wait to hear about it!

Some oldie but goodie. I admire Tom Waits, his music exuberates Jazz, Blues, Soul... everything I hope to hear from Matt. I would about die if Matt sings to me any of Tom Waits' early piano songs.
One of my fave Tom Waits' songs. Can't believe it is from 30+ years ago, never gets old.

Hey everyone OK I would just faint if sang to me - period - not matter what song! But this one has a speciel place in my heart - even though all I have is this crappy (sorry) sounding version of the John Legend song Ordinary people. I tear up everytime I hear this - so beautiful - it starts at 3 minutes in.

LMAO at this! I would love to see Matt sing and perform to "I'm Too Sexy" - but that isn't my choice for my serenade, I just wanted to comment on this! Too funny to let go by!

Ok I like to think of myself as Matt's Number one Fan (i know we all think we are LOL) ..but here's my case: cuz I voted for him for 2 hours, on 2 phones every Tuesday night! and I saw him in Atlanta, loved him so much went out on a limb & had to let my hubby in on my obsession so I could use the ticket from flicker and drive 3 hours the very next day to see him in Charlotte NC & then took another leap of faith and convinced hubby to let me drive 13 hours w/ @dsouthie23 and my daugher to see him in Grand Rapids where I had the great pleasure to meet other wonderful Matt fans that were as crazed as I am...Cecilie (who flew all the way from Denmark!), Macigirl (who invited us to stay in their hotel room when ours ended up being a dirty dump), Jenna, Lisa, SGR91 (who allowed us to stay at her house & was able to get at least 2 hours of sleep LOL), and 2kids3dogs (idolbeat)! And then got to meet Matt's Dad and some of Matt's friends and family including Tiff (fishtv5)! Matt's music is about all i listen too - including the songs he tweets about on twitter, I made a video tribute to him, I had to have a heart to heart convo w/ hubby the night of the rap vid he put out w/ dannythepipeboy (my marraige was on the line! ) lol due to my obsession! I just love Matt to death! So....brings me to this question....as asianmegan(megann) asked matt on twitter "where do you draw the line between number one fan and stalker!" LMAO!
With all that being said! LOL - So if I was lucky enough to be chosen as the biggest fan and was able to get a serenade by Matt by my request - it would have to be...."When A Man LOves a Woman" I would die to hear him sing that....I can just imagine the facials he would make and how sweet his riffs would sound and his own imput into it!
So Matt Giraud would you please sing "When A Man Loves A Woman" !!!
