From MJ's...

Right now there is a debate going on over at MJ's basically saying Matt shouldn't sing the Fray song and that he should stay away from this type of music because he doesn't sing it well. This however is the only post I am bringing over as most of it is complete and utter BS...

Quote :

From what I have seen on the tour videos, I believe that Matt has a tremendous amount of raw talent. He’s by far the best natural musician on this tour — and he is self-taught and only playing piano for 4 years. I think his only hope would be to have someone who really knows music work closely with him to develop his talent. Just like Randy helped Brook.

I agree completely with this. And while I am one of those who wishes Matt would just give up the fight and do Soul/Blues/R&B, he is sticking with Soul/Rock. So I feel like he would benefit most from a major label that will have more of the means to put him in good hands, and give him some of the best material and producers to work with. *COME ON 19, Atlantic, Epic, Columbia*

What I'm really ticked off about is that everyone is talking on Twitter today about a guy from The Fray (sorry don't remember is name) doing a radio interview recently and when they asked him about the Idols doing their songs he said that he liked Heartless by Kris but that quote "Matt is trying to hard when he sings YFM"...WTF? ..I'm sorry but because he puts PASSION into the song and sings it better then Issac IMO he is "trying to hard"...grrrrrrrrr...I don't care what anyone says about Matt singing this d**n song..I think Matt does a BEAUTIFUL job with this song and the studio version is KILLER and when he sang it at Staples it sounded almost exactly like the studio version...

Hey new pic!! I just found this off twitter...I'm pretty sure it was from last night's show!! Matty gettin down!!!



grrrrrr...how do you make the pic appear on here guys instead of just the link??? I hate that I'm sooo technically challenged!

From MJ's. I needed this review. I have been so worried about Matt all day!

Quote :

Matt in the number 5 position, had the pimp-spot of the first half of the concert and rightfully so. He was the heavy hitter, the real talent in the first 6 in my humble opinion.

His keyboard skills are magnificent, and his composure and confidence in front of an audience was obvious. He performed “Hard to Handle”, the ever popular, “Georgia on my Mind”, and the Fray’s “You Found Me.” His pleasant, bluesy voice and showmanship was a great lead into the finale of the first set before a 20-minute intermission. Matt and Scott–dueling pianos with “Tell Her About It”; Megan Joy and Lil—“Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”; all 6—“Beggin.”

Another Georgia...partial. Love Georgia but wish we would get more of HTH and YFM.

This is what the uploader had to say...

This is a clip of Matt Giraud's performance of Georgia for the American Idols Live concert in Arizona on July 20th, 2009. Matt's entire set was absolutely amazing; he is definitely one of my favorite contestants from Idol, and meeting him after was amazing. He laughed at my joke about the heat and cracked one of his own. He was amazing.

I think Matt has a lot of edge and we’ll be seeing that. He is going to be the break out star. Matt would have won if Kris wasn’t in the competition. Kris had the traditional “puppy dog” looks that Idol viewers eat up. But Matt has the voice, entertainment skills, and the edge that is needed to be a superstar.

I am just LOVIN' these posts - I can feel it coming..wanna jump up on the table singing the Jackson Five song "can u feel it, can u feel it, CAN U FEEL IT! YAY

Cecilie..

What you do is right-click on the picture, select properties, highlight and copy the 'location', then paste it on a post, highlight it again and click the [img] button(top of post).

Does that make sense?

Here Lisa posted the pic for you!

Don't Stop Believing...very far away but great sound!

People need to tweet those idols to give back the dududu's to Matt!

Frustrating when the camera doesn't show Matt. He needs to start a Mavid on this tour. Were he and Anoop doing the Paula disco dance towards the end? I could only see Anoop... That would be cute. =)

THIS. Still baffles me, this Kris Allen. Matt's the one with the star quality.

Michael Sarver tweeted this an hour ago:

well that review is pretty bad. I didn't know I sucked that bad in AZ. But what they don't know is that I'm already recording.

First Danny, then Scott, then LIL, and now Sarver??? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!! (Sorry Jenna)

Matt is the tortoise who will win the ultimate race. Let these hares run around bumping into each other while Matt smartly and calculatingly eyes the finish line.

Scott and Michael both have recording studios in their homes. Just because they're recording, does NOT mean they are signed. Matt had recorded 2 full CD's before AI. There is no way in hell Michael is getting signed before Matt.

I just love your siggy so much sgr91. He looks so cute!

I totally agree no way Sarver would get a deal before Matt. No fu## way.
There must be A&R's preparing some offers for Matt. There just has to be something coming his way. Otherwise I will be so depressed. I bet Scott and Michael are just recording at home but they won't really go anywhere with that.
I am just gonna keep believing a major label is interested in Matt and he will get signed soon.

WTF?!?! Who's friggin' idea was this anyway? Don't they know you don't mess with the dododos?!?! They belong to Matt. End of story.
