I voted for Go on and Sing boy because I can't get it out of my head!! <3 I do agree that I Miss You Tonight would be a good choice for a single, it's radio ready. All the songs are making me Fan-girly!!

Hi L.Ann this looks like the Grand Rapids concert, is this where you were when you had this picture with Matt! We were too! I think I remember seeing ya'll!

Lovethemtigers, that's Grand Rapids. We had such a great time and great seats thanks to a StubHub mistake/delay.

Acourse I also voted for Miss u Tonight but OMGG...I find it sooooo hard to pick a favorite because I LOVE THEM ALL..I really like Gimme a Break and Whatever it Takes...Shoot just listening to him sing and play So Small again made me bawl and also OMG to "Go the Distance".

Wow Jenna I'm like you I love him EVEN MORE after this concert and I don't know how that's even possible because I thought I loved him before but now its like MAD MAD MADLYYYYY!!

I voted for I Miss You Tonight even though it was hard to choose cause they all are such good songs!

Only need 13 more votes until 100! Thanks to everyone who has participated so far!

Voted 4 "I Miss You Tonight"!

I also loves "Breaking In A Broken Heart" and "Gimme A Break" but someone made it so you can only vote once and what not sooo...."I Miss You Tonight" it is!

LOL is that my side-eye? Hey didn't want to skew the votes! This ain't American Idol !

Yay we reached our goal number of a 100 votes. Thanks everyone who participated. I tweeted it to Matt. Hopefully he sees it!

Man this is my first time listening to 'Go on and sing boy' and I REALLY (really really) like that one. Darn it!

Oh well 'Whatever it takes' is still a good song, and both lost in the poll by a landslide anywayas so...

I voted for I Miss You Tonight but was secretly hoping Breaking In A Broken Heart would catch up!

I know what both of you mean - it's hard to pick a favorite. I can't wait to hear studio versions!!!

I've been listening to I Miss You Tonight the most, and that is probably my favorite. Though, I think he should choose 'Gimmie A Break' for a 1st single. its an awesome song, catchy, and radio friendly. Something great for a 1st single, it could be a hit, ala Wait For You.

You know.. I've been thinking the same thing. I love "I Miss You Tonight" and voted for that one, but .. I think that "Gimme a Break" works better for first single and radio play.
But still we have to wait until Matt gets signed right? I am hoping that by Jan next year we get some good news!
Labels must have heard his originals already! Can't wait. They are fools if the don't sign Matty G ASAP.

I voted for "Gimme A Break" cause it's got the most character to me. I also think it's the most representative of his sound.

If I'm being honest, I'm a little torn on "I Miss You Tonight." His performance of it was absolutely amazing, but the song itself and how it stands against the other originals is where I'm not so sure.

IMO, "Gimme A Break" and "Whatever It Takes" sound like they could be from the same album right off the bat. They've both got that upbeat, sunny, almost quirky vibe. They're Pop/Soul/Blues....similar to Jamie Liddell (check out this song from Jamie as an example) but totally Matt Giraud at the same time. "Breaking In a Broken Heart" is darker and sexier than those two, however the blues is still there...and with the final production I'm sure it would fit on the album as well. "Go On And Sing Boy" gives me a bit more of a country vibe than the ones mentioned above, but again, the piano playing is bluesy. So I think it could still sound like it's in the same family as the others.

"I Miss You Tonight" is where I'm thrown off a bit. While it's AWESOME and his voice sounds incredible on it (I actually think he sings this one the best out of all them), it kind of ventures off into that Rascal Flatts/Lady Antebellum sound. It's great, but different from the others. I think the problem for me is that the bluesiness is gone on this one, so for me it just doesn't quite match. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'd still be great on the album since artists are allowed to be eclectic...but as a single/first single I'm not sure it would be the best choice. Just my opinion! I dunno if I'm making sense. LOL

You're making perfect sense to me. That's why I voted for Breaking in a Broken Heart - even though I really love I Miss You Tonight. I'm also not sure that I Miss You Tonight as his first single would show the world who Matt really is.

Hmmm maybe we should do a poll on what song do you feel should be Matt's first single. Hell why not I'll set it up! Come back and vote later!
