I'm sorry in all the excitement I forgot to put up the thread for tonight's show
Rickey tweeted that there will be a cellcast. Maybe we should have a chat to discuss our Grand Rapids plans further. Of course I keep saying this but sadly no one is coming.
It seems like the Chicago show is slow, not even a lot of posts over at MJ's blogs. There are usually hundreds of posts by intermission. I guess some of the people who used to listen to the cellcasts are back in school now.
And there are only a few hundred people viewing at Rickey's blog.

Matt Giraud – they seriously need to sign him already. He is great to watch, especially when he is on the piano which he is really good at playing. The crowd loved him.

Matt came storming out and the crowd went nuts. He was fantastic. He was standing and playing piano, it was unbelievable. I looked around to find a lot of people sitting. I’m still confused by this behavior, but to each her/his own I guess. S3, M1 and I were loving Matt and starting to have a great time. I’m feeling the way I did at the beginning of the show, pumped and excited. M2 said she really liked Matt on the show.
Group number – they all sounded very good but Matt was clearly the star here too.
Matt: Definitely the best part of the first half for me! He is fun to watch! The piano doesn’t tie him down and he just seemed to be on fire. His voice isn’t as good as Anoop’s but he makes up for it in stage presence and energy. Some tweens and teens around us stood for Matt. C liked Matt – both his voice and piano playing.
Matt needs to be signed. Now. Both my son and I liked him on the show, but, either he’s improved a lot during the tour, or his stage presence just wasn’t captured on TV. In person, he was such a great entertainer and had an awesome voice. “Georgia,” in particular, was just fabulous, and the way he connected with the audience was amazing. I didn’t feel like I was a speck in a big arena; I felt like I was sitting at a barstool in a small club, and he was singing just to me.
Enter Matt Giraud, who threw down with a party of his own. "Hard to Handle," the first song in his set, featured a fierce piano solo that made me thankful I wasn't manufactured by Steinway Corp. He followed that with a soulful rendition of the classic "Georgia on My Mind."
LOL regarding the Steinway Corp comment...too funny! Matt sure impresses the hell out of people with his piano playing!

Matt was also terrific - much better than on the show! I loved when he started singing, then ran over to the piano and starting playing standing up, with all kinds of wild riffs, while he kept right on singing (made me think of Little Richard a bit). He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. After Matt's set, the first six, did a group number including Matt and Scott playing together - that was one of the highlights of the show.

Matt better get signed next. Hes amazing. His piano playing had me in awe. Let me tell he was wailing on those keys like nobodys business. My aunt became a fan after seeing him live and meeting him. She enjoyed his set the best so far.
