My pick for Most Improved, Matt Giraud, was last up in the first half of the show. He opened with a rip-roaring version of "Hard Too Handle," tearing up the piano and the stage. He is much looser than he ever was on the TV show and seemed to be having the most fun of any of the first half performers.
Matt segued into "Georgia," which was a bit too stark a contrast to the previous song. Sorry, Matt, but it was a little boring. He saved himself with The Fray's "You Found Me." The audience sang along and all was well in Idol-land!
The first half closed with a rather odd collection of duets and group numbers. Megan and Lil's duet of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" didn't mesh at all, but Scott and Matt did a bit of dueling pianos on Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It." I understand this was supposed to have been part of the finale, but was cut due to time constraints. Too bad, because it was quite good.
Not sure how she could say Georgia is boring though?

Michael seems to have a deal in the works and I've heard Matt's been approached to play keyboards for a well-known band.
WTF? Michael has a deal in the works? I know, I know that Matt seems to have one too but until it's signed and announced I am still a little worried. Hmmm wonder what band and please don't ever let that happen. I want Matt singing and as the front man!

She must have gotten this from that silly interview Matt had with the interviewer suggesting Matt play keyboard for Kris's band?!?? What an insult to our Matty G. No worries, Matt will soar!

I agree this this just seems to be conclusions made from this writer hearing snip bits from interviews, and not actually from Matt's own lips. That plaing in someone's band sounds bogus as we never got even a whisper that something like this has been in the works (and we've followed Matt's every move since day one).
I know, however, that Michael has stated on numerous occasions that he does have a deal in the works (and it's NOT with an independant) and that his fans can expect an announcement within the next couple weeks. Whatever, I'd be more upset if Matt wasn't getting anything, but since Matt does have something all the best to Michael. I actually can see sarver in country and think if he is marketed well, and contiunes to convert fans, he can have a moderate career.

Gosh.. When will all this Matt post Idol plans speculation ever end? I mean.. Now the only thing Matt has in the works is be the keyboard player of someone else's band? What? Really?
He deserves to be the front man for sure. Now I am confused again. Matt said that there will be something happening soon, isn't that the fact he will get that major deal? It just has to be. He is too good to be a part of someone else's band.. Sigh. I am anxious once again.
Why can't they sign Matt ASAP? It's been so long already. He should have been one of the first Idols signed after Adam, Kris and Allison.
I really hope Matt clears this matter soon and the label that showed interest in Bridgeport acts quickly. Geez..
Also, if Michael Sarver is signed before Matt I am going to throw the biggest tantrum ever. Oh boy I am going to be so pissed. Sorry I am so mad today. It's really mind boggling to me that Matt hasn't been signed yet.

Wow, you've got to be kidding me. Michael Sarver has a RECORD DEAL in the works? Really?? Sorry if I sound harsh but he must be going the country route...I'm shocked that he would have something more definitive on the table than Matt and even Anoop. Unbelievable.
Anyway, Matt is MORE than a keyboard player...which we already know. I still can't get over that dumb lady asking if Matt was going to learn to play guitar! I don't see anything wrong with Matt gigging with some bands for a little while, but I am positive that what he's focused on is his SOLO CAREER because he's an artist! Did you guys see that Blake Lewis tweeted him about going on the road with him? That'd be awesome! How can you not love Matt?
