[bath89]

BOOOOOOOOOO



[cookiedeeh]

Wow... Sooooo good... He's way too talented to not be "out there" singing! Siiiigh.. Love your voice Matt! Sing me a song! :)

[KerenX16]

I actually like this version's vibe more than dear stevie's...

[justinsgirl14151]

OMG! He should have won. The best voice American has ever had!

[bucamarie]

This song suits him perfectly!~

[OwlCitizenForever22]

Matt was my favorite. He should've won easily. I mean, just listen to this! He's incredibly amazing! <3

[raquelmusic36]

I love this one! I really didn't notice matt giraud on the show until this song XD

[bucamarie]

17 people can kiss it!~

[bucamarie]

Gretchen Wilson is my part time lover!~

[illestgyal]

ahhhhhh I miss him!

[yellopanda]

this song makes be believe part-time lovers aka 1 night stands exist in a world where relationships dont matter. living your life carefree no responsibilities, then you die not knowing what to do.

[akjadestar]

how the helll did he not make it to at least top 3? he was amazing, my favorite idol contestant ever ♥♥

[kittypetluver]

Wow....I think he did a GREAT job with this song...those vocals are amazing, especially considering how hard of a song this would be to sing...man. and I love how he gave it put more jazz, and soul into it. the original is more pop.

[10respect]

Matt was my fav of the season.. followed by Adam of course =)

[MrMartG03]

best contestant ever in A.I. Original voice; incredible performer.

[kourganboy]

don't forget the musicians of this cover !! this is really played with so much groove

that suits a lot to matt

[csprofm]

It is nice to see this amazing performance is still getting a lot of attention. If you all want to hear Matt's original music, his fans have set up a playlist on the mattgiraudfans youtube channel with his 14 originals and two released singles with Anna Wilson and Jim Brickman. His new music is amazing! To find it, look under user: mattgiraudfans, and playlist: "Best of Matt Giraud Originals!"

[animalker]

Adam and Matt were my favourite two from season eight. < 3

Still are. His voice is just so magical- support from Australia! :)

[metoimpossible]

love the lyrics very very much...

[alexnguyen176]

love this song <3

[OfficialEmberskye]

We are strangers by day, lovers by night

Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

Part-time lovers!

This song will never grow old and Matt does it justice.

[csprofm]

If you love Matt's voice and want to hear it on the radio, please request his new song "Thank You" with Jim Brickman on your local AC station. It is climbing the AC chart! Check it out on Matt's myspace page.

[hikaru3268]

I love his blusy voice!

[Seven7StarJackson]

auto tune but i like this version

[milou80]

he goes through the song straight and smooth, with tone, clarity , and I might admit that his full projection voice/falsetto changings are maybe the smoothest I've ever heard , keeps me thrilled all along :p

[aqueteaful]

i love his soulful voice beautiful ; )

[bsbgirl96]

He is one of the best male singers I've ever heard anywhere! <3

[llevinia9]

this version is better then the original!

[AnuRULEZ]

I always liked this version.

[ishopatmarketbasket]

he's really giving off a Justin Timberlake vibe. i love me some matty g :P

[junaag]

Matt has this great great recording voice. But on stage (during Idol) he looks nervous. That took away from what could be great performances. I still like him though. =)

[monkey9200]

@junaag its also partly the autotune

[milou80]

autotune ? nah it's just that it's not the same performing in front of 75 000 000 guys and recording in a big studio , with great sound ,producer that check the quality of the work ,tube microphones, HD headphones, a coach to correct all mistakes you may do, as many shots as you need to record the song, with possibility to drop u into the mix to overdub the mistakes + compression on the mix +mastering. it's a hell of a difference they maybe smoothed up a bit da voice, but theres no autotune

[DanielleLynneFowler1]

love = this song

[supermanx003]

@ItalPrincesa he got voted out after he performed the song my funny valentine

[1monikazajacova]

i love his voice!! amazing!!!

[jammieisawesome]

I like this version.

[Magefire75]

The drummer and the bassist owned this song

[clayaikenlover08]

Yeah thats Rat Pack week.

[lucyisme996]

only second to adam's rendition of mad world

[ItalPrincesa]

cant belive he was voted out on this! right wasnt it this song he left! i cant belive it

[clayaikenlover08]

Nooooo Matt was voted out during this song but he got saved and then he got eliminated during Rat Pack week

[forest3823]

He sang to really love a woman, was voted off, saved, then sadly voted off on My Funny Valentine

[TheAznkidtvo]

He was voted off at Top 5 with "My Funny Valentine"

[surf115]

i met matt in california land i'm not american and i was the first to spot him

[FF5Rckr4Christ]

this is the best song he ever sang individually, i think...this and then that one song by that dude that i can't remember his name...anyway, he really is a great singer

[kaygee369]

i love Matt <3

[cets2008]

hes great!

[zhenwinavamp]

I love you, Matt. Just love you

[Mr90Jc]

Just to get this straight anyone who can hear real quality in a voice could tell that this guy has a voice Kris could only dream of... Good luck Matt you are amazingly talented singer

[magaWu]

soooo cool,good luck spending your music dreams

[pwnager505]

kinda sounds leik stevie a bit :)))

[Hesterswabedissen]

He is fucking AMAZING!!

[KerenX16]

i think he's definitely one of the best male vocalists that american idol has known.

[bambogolf]

eeee Adam Lambert?

[elyfskie]

amazing version :)

[ILOVEFCA]

he SHOULD have won i love his voice

[hillysparkle]

While I didn't want him to win, I do love his voice too!

[cinderelly00]

I still think he should have won. I hope he gets signed and releases an album soon!

[jhonnyflea]

very nice!! perfect!! nice arrangement of song

[adamlambertrules100]

Matty my man!!! Ur AMAZING!!!

[l0r3st0]

Matt I love you, will support you all the way! Don't stop BELIEVING!

[sweetAnnasey]

He sounds better now than american idol, not the best voice an ok, voice. Some parts of the song he sang really well, some parts are off, he made his own song not bad, i like the original artist better.

[Cacity87]

Matt arranged this song himself! So talented!! #SignMattGiraud!!

[abbotsford85]

im english by the way!! what the hell do you americans vote for?? Elliott Yamin and Matt Giraud are clearly the most talented to ever be on the show!!

[lorafay3]

OMG i KNOW!!!

[noomaaliity]

I wouldn't say they're the MOST talented...Especially Elliot Yamin...But I agree they're talented

[abbotsford85]

depends what music your into i suppose. id rather watch them two singin in front of twenty people in a pub than some of the others that have made it. Matt Giraud is an out and out musician in terms of playing the piano and his voice.

[cinderelly00]

I completely agree! Too bad I'm Canadian and couldn't vote!

[1monikazajacova]

@abbotsford85 you are 100% right plus Melinda doolitlle was great!

[Nawaz101]

@abbotsford85 They picked george bush 3 times... Doesn't that tell you everything? :P

[Nawaz101]

@abbotsford85 No. Adam Lambert and Matt Giraud.

[sheilaamyn]

I'm American...and I couldn't agree with you more, abbotsford85 !!! Love Elliott Yamin and to me the only reason he didn't win that season was because of his teeth. That just shows you how superficial people can be though. Matt Giraud has an AWESOME voice !!! He definitely does this Stevie Wonder song justice !

[ghostfaceooo4]

@sheilaamyn lol you responded to a brit and said we left elliott cuz of his teeth lol hes english he does not know what teeth should look like and take it from a fellow michigander matt g is as smooth as it gets i love stevie as my no.1 and many redo his songs and this is not a top 10 for him but i love this sng and its the best redo ive ever heard non biased

[sheilaamyn]

I'm American...and I couldn't agree with you more, abbotsford85 !!! Love Elliott Yamin and Matt Giraud...they are both amazing talents and have awesome voices !!

[sheilaamyn]

@abbotsford85................I­'m American...and I couldn't agree with you more, abbotsford85 !!! Love Elliott Yamin and Matt Giraud...they are both amazing talents and have awesome voices !!

[bucamarie]

@abbotsford85 Yhea you are right Brotha Mathew should have won!~

[MegaBoshi]

OMFGG!! HE has SUCH an awesome voice!!! WOW! I wonder why he didn't win!!! <3333

[20Murph09]

i think matt would have won if he had chosen songs that suited his voice more often like this performance and so small

[jeshfred91]

yeahhhhh I'm not sure if he would have won but I know he would have done a ton better.

[chewingstalemilk]

His picture makes him look like a giant. xD

But I totally think he could have won!

He has a way of sounding like the people that originally sang the song (sung the song?).

He's got a lovely voice.

[RAWRimCOCO]

Agreed. ♥

Matt is AWESOME.

I love his voice.

[DemmeBabe]

omg is he better than Kris...? close.. very closeee!

[crimasaca]

no me gusto

[Sohot87]

his pic makes him look kind of mean

[katetranbu]

I like this song better than the original version.

[Cacity87]

Matt does nearly every song better than the original, huh? :)

[Baaay]

exactly (;

[xxxskittles4everxxx]

matt was amazing with this song!!!

[sdeb82]

killed it :)

[CMG64001A]

Matt rocked this song on AI. He turned an old song and gave it a modern twist. He really knows how to arrange his own songs. Thank you, Matt for doing an incredible job on PTL and making up for what Kevin Covais (season 5) did to ruin this song! LOL ;D

[1Renina]

Can't get enough of Matt's voice!! He rocks : D REALLY anxious to hear what his CD will sound like...

[FF5Rckr4Christ]

best song he sang

[GRomance0804]

I think matty G sounds so much better in the recordings rathers than live. I believe that Nikko Smith from Season 4 outsang him on this song! however, I like the classic throwback style he has with this performance.

[sabseri]

agree with ariielle1395!!! especially the the 0:30 - 0:34...

[Renadace]

mmm mm mm matt!!....simply amazing!! looking forward to yu relasing an album......searching you tube for your studio version of georgia.....hint hint lol....

[karishmaglitters]

I am an Anoop fan...but this guy totally ROX...Matt and Anoop were the most underrated and the best singers in the contest..both of them were waayyy better than danny or kris

[cassie0rtiz]

omg, i love him.

<3

[ariielle1395]

amazing. amazing. amazing.

words cannot possibly describe

<3

[Alana9903]

I think this is his best performance, here is his 8 perofrmances from the top 13 in order of how good I think they were.

1. Part-Time Lover

2. Human Nature

3. So Small

4. Have you Ever Really Loved a Woman

5. Let's Get it On

6. My Funny Valentine

7. You Found me

8. Stayin' Alive

But I really loved all of Matt's performances, cos he's awesome! :)

[Archuletaluv1]

what a gorgeous man <3

[ariielle1395]

i love :30-:34

"don't want nothing to be wrong"

especially how he sang that live.

(:

and the thing he does at 2:53-2:57

how does he do that? lol he's amazing <3

BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON FROM MATT!

[hollylaiz]

magic and talent =)

[csereix]

Matt, I wish you'd sung like this on the show. This is really good. I feel like this is the first time I'm really hearing you. Good luck with your career. I feel you should have a good future in the music industry ahead of you.

[Jmacsexy]

is he signed yet?

Matt has a really good soulful voice, love it.

[cnh967]

he looks like Justin Timberlake!

[cap06g]

Matt sounds amazing on the studio recordings!! But didnt live up to it on the show, My funny valentine is like my favorite song now, but he didnt do a good job live.

[ASCRfunnyfilms]

matt is simply AMAZING!! anyone who doesnt realize this is too closed minded, america is not good at picking out who really has talent even when its right infront of their faces.

MATT IS COMPLETLEY UNDERATED!

i love you matt, your incredible :D

[Nawaz101]

@ASCRfunnyfilms it shud have been danny, matt and adam battling out for the finals

[bestpoison5]

@Nawaz101 dam right it should of brother, Kris is good and all but Matt Danny and Adam have far more powerful voices.

[Nawaz101]

@bestpoison5 Matt has one of the most amazing RnB voices I've heard in the last decade, so many so called RnB artists have such fake and weak voices. Adam, quite simply, amazing rance, amazing power and great rock singer and Danny is a very strong commercial singer just like Kris but better

[nissie86]

according to danny twitter, he asked his fan to be patienrt about he record deal as everything is in discussion and he'll announce it soon. so cross your fingers everyone ;)

[ArticSouljah85]

Faaark reali??? That sux i think this guy made this so ng off the hook lol its a good versoin and so os lets get it on ha i wanna sing like him!

[catirahicks]

Well he just said today on a live chat that he hasn't had any record deal offers yet. I am a bit worried. Obviously 19 is not going to sign him.

I can;t believe they are letting talent like this slip away.

I just hope for Matt's sake another major label like Universal or Warner are interested after the tour ends. Sigh.

[nissie86]

i really2 hope he'll sign with any recording company. because til now it's only adam, kris and allison that already announced signed with recording company. danny is not yet too :(

[VAFAN101]

its gonna be hard for danny to get signed, its gonna be very hard to make a record with him b/c of his voice even though its really good producers are saying he isnt marketable

[coolnerdx3]

really you like that lame ass winner's song? that song was god awful! i love heartless, ain't no sunshine, fallen and she works hard for the money by kris but 'No boundaries' is just plain BAD.

my favorite matt recording is 'Let's get it on'. this one's really good too and 'human nature', 'you found me' also. this guy has a great recording voice. his nerves did him in in the competition

[peculiarity78]

I think it was less his nerves and more his physical appearance. The final four were all very good looking people. I love Matt because he's so ordinary. He got by on pure talent, not good looks (coughcoughMegan Joycough). And he does have a really good recording voice. He was my favorite. I was sad when he went home.

[hollylaiz]

Alison and Danny are very goodlooking? Matt is gorgeous imo.

[BLUEISLAND07]

I admit I was not a fan of Matt until this Performance.

Kris,Allen,Matt Fan~

[lovethemtigers]

Incredible on Every Level! Matt has a great future ahead of him. Go Matt!

[mandapandaa1]

he was my 2nd favorite.

my first was allison but kris was never in my list until the final 2 haha

[TheTioSachShow]

adam kicks allen ass

[shoujai]

OMg you like that horrible AI theme song.

[lymon1500]

magic!

[MrF1y]

The best performance for sure, enjoyed it to the max..Matt rocks!!!

[xWalkThisWayx]

was my favourite from the start :) he has such a sexy tone to his voice totally unique and definable!!! love love love matt giraud :D

[riccajoie]

hope he'll have a good career...

[lymon1500]

i hope he has a brilliant and fantastic future!!

[fourinthemorningg]

Love Love Love this version!

[lymon1500]

this is what i call love

[0xlittledevilx0]

A Ad Ada Adam♫ Adam W Adam Wa Adam Was♫ Adam Was R Adam Was Ro Adam Was Rob Adam Was Robbe Adam Was Robbed♫ ♫ADAM♫LAMBERT♫ WAS ROBBED COPY AND PASTE IF YOU THINK ADAM LAMBERT SHOULD HAVE WON AMERICAN IDOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sellot91]

Adam was robbed

I am from K-Zoo through so I was a big Matt fan

[rubyredgem1234]

this was his best performance in the whole season! I love him he is sooo dreamy..

[coolnerdx3]

let's get it on was better. but this kicks ass too. people just don't realise how good a singer he is.

[laughx3forevaa]

This song was brilliant, as Simon would say. America really made a bad choice voting him off. He truly is a worthy "Cat With Nine Lives".

[allboutdabenz94]

love this

[lymon1500]

lv luv luv luv luv matty g

cant wait for the album

[petermadman]

the scream at 2min01... it's good but we can notice a liitle pitchright/autotune anyway

they get rid of this effect at 2min 49

that's the real voice

tell me if you agree

bye

[JulianTheGreat01]

Nope

[kmorg91]

Me and my wife have agreed he sounds and looks alot like JT.. how many of you agree..

[globbyapple]

i agree he definitely does

[coolnerdx3]

Matt's got more soul and his vocal quality is better than JT by tremendous amounts. But yeah, the texture is almost the same

[idoltalk411]

my jazz boy!

[jd8807]

Matt was my favorite this season and this song was definitely one of my favs. He has an amazing recording voice.

[peculiarity78]

I know! He sounds so great in the studio version! I was so glad he got as far as he did!

[SonBren4ever]

This is awesome song. Hope you make an album soon, Matt. I stopped watching AI after you left.

[gerald2978]

i wus going for danny matt kris n scott adams good but i didnt liked when he schreeched

[JGINTING070797]

matty adam and danny were my faves. i was completely shocked when kris swooped in and ruined the atmosphere.

[mgcheerleader]

love him!! <3 i was sooo sad wen he got voted off!! the only reason i watched it after that was cuz of kris! so happy he won! matt better come out wit cds! i think he'll be the next big thing! and hes sexy and has a sexy voice and he can dance!!!

[RustySacks]

that sound like stevie

[music1395]

hi everyone,

i want lots and lots of friends on youtube

jason mraz, HSM, any musicals, one tree hill, Adam lambert

matt giraud

american idol

or just wanna be friends, please add me,

i want more youtube mates

lol, thanks

[vocaltalent1]

MATT FANS: ADAM FANS ALWAYS BASHED MATT. IT WAS SO OBVIOUS. UNTIL MATT WAS SENT HOME. NOW, ADAM FANS R GOING AROUND PRETENDING THEY LIKED HIM. OR R SAYING NOT TO VOTE THIS FINAL TUESDAY. PLEASE, DO VOTE...AND VOTE FOR KRIS. This will be fair. A balancing of the scales. I love you Matt. You and Allison should have equally won. Best wishes my brother.

[dorrrrl333]

I stopped watching idol after matt left.

[kielyrocks]

Same here! it was so depressing.... i luv him so much and i am going to make sure i follow him thru his whole career...or at least try

[music1395]

amazing job on this song!!!

i wish he was still in!

now im rooting for Adam to win!!!

[joan15]

one of his best performance in AI.

I MISS HIM SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[1Renina]

Hey guys Matt is on twitter now @mgiraudofficial!!!

[ariielle1395]

best. performace. EVER from matt (: love love love it <33 and the studio version is really good, also (:

[rawkssss]

i love matt and his soulful voice

:)

[Jmacsexy]

I miss him ... Now all I have left is Adam.

[avatarstste]

i love this peformance!!!!!!luv u matt!!!

[marc1005]

i was gutted when he left.. he's like a throwback to connor reeves

[lymon1500]

i luvs uuuu matttt

[totallytracee67]

Matt was awesome! Can't wait till he makes his 1st cd! Wish he could've won!

[joan15]

he actually released two albums before joining idol. yup.

[Stunginger]

He's my favorite...This song seriously ....almost makes me have an orgasm! No joke...

[peculiarity78]

He was my favorite contestant. I was so sad when he went home. But now that I think about it, fifth place is pretty good for a contest on the scale of American Idol. Especially since all the polls said he'd go home the first week. Just goes to show how incredibly naturally talented he is.

[LPAO097]

AMAZING!!!!

[glambert182]

thank god fat head lost!! his expressions were from retardation. GO ADAMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!
