Well, I finally got to leave a message at mjs re: this but not sure it will post. He is getting a lot of heat from a lot of different idol fans (he was very harsh to many). Here is my post. Sorry ,I am not much of a creative writer like many of you--
graciecat Aug 21st, 2009 at 6:10 pm So nice of you to compliment Matt for his performance and at the same time get in the tired and worn out mole dig. Brutal and honest recap? More like cheap shot!

I was at the Philly show!! It was so great to finally get to see Matt live! I just LOVE him soooo much! We talked for a bit, and I was there by myself (my sister bailed on me last minute!)....he, Kris, and Sarver came out. I could care less about Kris lmao, but Sarver was super sweet and I easily got a hug from him!
I can't even remember my exchange with Matt. I told him my name and he shook my hand (!!) and introduced himself as Matt G! And I was like "...I know who you are!" He signed my fedora for me, and then a lady took a picture of us! http://www.twitpic.com/eoav6
He's absolutely gorgeous in person....I was tongue tied but he put me at ease, and carried the conversation! I told him I'm a BG and asked if he liked our Care Package. He asked me what I put in there and I told him....he was just so sweet!
I can't remember the rest, it was too short!! But when he walked away he patted my hand! I could've died!!
If you go to my page you can see the rest of the pics I tweeted.
Oh and during the song Matt messed up the lyrics of YFM--he repeated the first verse, which I was sad about because I love the 2nd verse! At the end of the show during DSB, he looked right at me, pointed to his head, and then at me since I was wearing the fedora! I was like the only Matt freak in my section...and we connected ....

Aww thanks for the recap! Seems like you made an impression on him!! But what I don't get is how you all say that he is even more gorgeous in person..How is that even remotely possible? I figure it must be his winning personality - geez I get how you might easily get tongue tied around him. Allready nervous LOL Lovely picture - one to treasure!!

Hey Janizzle - thanks for sharing. You are so pretty! I love that he patted your hand and pointed at you during the concert. You did have a great connection with him!
After all this adoration, it must be so weird to finally see him live and talk with him at the fences. I am going tomorrow to my first concert. I have watched all the videos so many times that I think it will be surreal to see it happen live.
So happy for you!

When he came out, he just has this amazing SWAGGER...it totally made me fall deeper in love! I was like this guy is a badass! I was just lovingly watching him as he made his way around. He really looks AMAZING up close. When you meet him, you'll see! And yes the sweet personality too! I just wish I had more to say....I got so tongue-tied!

Thanks so much! You'll see...he's amazing. It was such a tough wait, 3 hours in the hot sun....but totally worth it! He really is sweet, and it helps to have a fedora or something, then he treats you EXTRA nice! I couldn't BELIEVE he pointed me out at the end of the show. My sis said if I stood through his set he could've been singing to me the whole time haha....but I'm the type of person who wouldn't want to block other people, I'd feel too rude even though the people around me weren't acting excited!
It felt so weird to be talking to him...oh my gosh it was like a dream! I think I dreamed about him last night!! I lost just about everything I wanted to say to him, I was just besides myself! Good luck to ya, Macigirl...I'm sure he'll love you too!

Thanks for sharing your story as well as your photos. You both look great! From all the others that have posted about their experiences, it certainly sounds like Matt is increadibly personable and sweet. Having said that, its not many that he picks out of the audience so clearly you made an impression! I was supposed to be at the concerts this weekend as well as next week but a personal issue will keep me away from the ones this weekend, and possibly the one on Wednesday. I will continue to live vicariously through all of you. Thanks for all the great stories.

So happy for you, Janizzle! You definitely deserve it! I still remember your wonderful video of Matt's Staying Alive! That was yours, right? I did notice from the video that Matt messed up YFM...it seemed he was a bit off from the start. That must have gotten him off track. He still sounds heavenly nonetheless. Hoping to meet Matt someday soon and having a connection with him like yours! =)

Thanks for posting these Meg - Matt looks so happy and relaxed in these, and not sad and low key like some reports. He looks really good.
I love the one of him hugging the teddy bear. So cute.
LOL the chest hair is really showing in the second pictue.

From MJ Caro´s recap, another great one.
Quote :
Matt – When Matt was announced I was surprised that people immediately jumped of their chairs, it made me happy that people were looking forward to him so much, what can I say that hasn’t been said? He brought the house down and I don’t know how he does it, but he gave 180%, he came out like it was his first and last time and made us love him even more. During one of his songs he had this low register note that I felt he was making love to me and my knees went weak… I do think that if his personality, confidence and performance would have come out during the season like it did on the live performance, we would be watching a different Top 4, he is really a pleasure to watch to hear and to love, so PTB, Please SIGN MATT GIRAUD!
My PII index: Is it difficult to guess? If I could pre-order his first CD, I would have done so already and bought extra copies for my friends, he is also the first that I would watch perform live and can’t wait until he has the opportunity, plus I would buy VIP tickets for a meet and great. Maybe I should start my own fund to help out with his first album.
Group performance First Half – I liked it, I don’t know why people just think it’s bla, but it’s nice, funny, entertaining and I loved the dancing between Matt and Anoop and I agree with somebody who wrote Michael Sarver should always wear a tux.
there is more
Quote :
So performance wise I would rank them as this: Matt, Adam, Kris, Allison, Michael, Danny, Anoop, Lil, Scott, Megan.
Matt he is just happy to be, he came smiling, talking with people and I was star stroked or actually it was the point were my knees went weak again, he looked at me eye to eye and he has the most beautiful eyes and smile, why or why I’m not 20 all over again!
(Haven´t I heard that before?)

In Pittsburgh he hit a very low note during Georgia. In my review post, I talked about that. I am sure this lady is talking about that note. It shocked me that he could go so low. It was so throaty and rich and full of emotion....I kept talking to Jenna about that note all night. I am still in a bit of a tizzy from this weekend. I can not settle down.

It is exactly the same low note and he had changed it, made it longer.It was so impressive in the beginning already, can´t even imagine how impressive it is live. What came to my mind after reading your stories and all these recaps; he is making it so easy to love him in every aspect. There are so many new people coming on board finally, it is so delightful. I feel like I´m witnessing a superstar to be born. All of us are loving his unique musical talent and passion, which is at the same time so universal, he will be a new link of the chain of great musicians, the storytellers.

Here's a vid I found of DSB....it's lame because they don't show enough of Matt, but if you look at 1:56-1:57, that's when Matt pointed to his head and then pointed to me! Just some shameless promotion of myself, ha!
