Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? (Studio Recording) - Matt Giraud [DOWNLOAD]

[avandy101]

Amazing voice, amazing song, amazing cover, amazng singer!

[jvieira3807]

2 words Matt : Super Sexy!!!!

[JoeCaliforniah]

Timberlake's shadow. nothing special

[ausria8swan]

Bryan's is the best ever. This is a bloody darn good cover. :)

[echuynh]

Awesome. I like this better than the original.

[ileorin]

@echuynh

I agree

[sayuri92angel]

perfect....i just love this song,played by him....:X:X:X

[skandarandnarniarock]

Beautiful

[gleamingwaters]

I actually like this version a lot better. The way it ends sounds more appropriate in my opinion..

[bootseybuddy]

@gleamingwaters I like this version better also . Violins, back-up singers and MATT did a FABULOUS cover . ALOT of work went into this and the result is BETTER , just my opinion . It is RARE to find a cover that is better than the original , but they did it on this one . ELVIS was GREAT at it because it takes real TALENT to do it . MATT's got that TALENT .

[DonnaofNorfolk]

What a fantastic singer for this song. Exceeded my expectations by far!

[veniamindoychev]

His accent adds up to the awesomeness!

[ileorin]

one of my favorite idol performance ever, and in my opinion one of the best from that show in a long time, if not ever!!!!

[csprofm]

I listened to this for the first time in a long while. He sounds so good. 

[XxAnnaAveXx]

casey james is better.

[replatten1]

great voice but not a bryan adams

[lasay365]

Matt Giraud Has a pretty voice.

[TheWallOfSound1990]

Great song but not a patch on The original

[Kyndra1984]

@TheWallOfSound1990 its not supposed to be a patch on.. they were supposed to make songs "their own" by changing it up

[TheWallOfSound1990]

@Kyndra1984 alright calm down. I'm not knocking the guy, just saying that I think the original is better

[tessaje]

Have you heard Matt's new single w/ Jim Brickman? Search for it on YT. It's called "Thank You" Matt sounds so good! Request it from AC stations so it can climb the charts. Do it for Matt!

[terricloth100]

Good Job

[maggiemay35]

I agree TomasTexas - they truly underrated him! He's amazing - VERY talented.

[Etheorya7]

mmmmm..........that voice does something to me...it starts in my ears and well...works it's way down

[pikachu427]

can season 9 ever come up with something original? i mean first lee&crystal with falling slowly and then mike&casey with this song (though i like their version a well), still it's kinda unfair :(

[biby506bb]

after 1 yr i still like this song

Matt are really do a good job here

[firejoy19]

I have always liked Matt, great voice, will go places, however, there is too much unnecessary modulation. He needs to control his skills at vocal acrobatics and make the rendition more smooth so it doesn't lose the passion the song is meant to convey -An honest opinion of an honest fan.

[kevinjamesoledan]

like it

[bonheur1975]

Bravooooooooo !!!!!!!!!

[skydancer1x]

Matt does a great job on this song. One of my favorite songs ever.Lyrics, and tune.

[FLATTSFANATIC]

One of my TOP fav singers. Especially for Idol. I'd put him up there with Scott Savol etc. But Matt is just SOO commercial..and I LOVE that. For me it's more about personality and style when it comes to singing. AWESOMENESS! Matt if you ever read this....check out my singing vids! I don't normally prostitute myself like this. LOL...but you rock and It would be cool for you to hear mine!

PEACE!

[konzen86]

but not even close to bryan adams

[pinky2B4]

i personally think hes better than kris..hope he gets signed!!

[lordchika]

i think chris daughtry did this song better. but this one is good.

[JELENAXD]

omg,AMAZING VOICE!!!

[redstrike0epaga]

Beautiful rendition of the song indeed.

[ebong25]

lol. i know soon matt is going to be a jazz star

[soulgirls22]

he was one of the best singers on the show.

he deserved to win..

[teddybear4422]

is he gay

[FTL14HT]

How you could you not melt with his vocal. I remember voting with 2 phone lines! He so deserves to be signed. #SignMattGiraud

[E2cute4u94]

he's soooooooo gud

i love this song

[l0r3st0]

For such an amazing musician, Matt was such a bundle of nerves; too talented in more than one genre, he confused a lot of people. But, time will always be on Matt's side, 'cause he can only get better. Yes, the best recording voice of AI 2009!

[SignMattGiraud]

Matt had the BEST recording voice out of the entire Season 8 - hands down. #SignMattGiraud

[VladPatryck]

amen on that

[sweetAnnasey]

That was his only best performance on American idol.

[VladPatryck]

what????what about who's loving you....???

[Cacity87]

#SignMattGiraud!!!

[elishagm1]

Love him!!! Way better that Adam!

[hittingice]

I prefer Brain voice

[apitaqui]

who the hell is brain?xD

[VladPatryck]

i think he wanted to wright Brian..:P but hey....:P

[AngelOrdonez375]

boooooooooooooooooo

[puckle230393]

i loved this performance :)

[vgoten1]

I really like him. I didn't know that he had already made a couple cds! I thought American Idol was for people that were nobodies. that kinda annoyed me. I still like him, though. Good couple of songs.

[Soccergirlx15]

wow

that was..

amazing

<3

[mariahr22]

0:08 - 0:13

i like that part

[krishotsaucemiller]

Great tone, too bad Antares played a big part in this one..

[gsds01]

i fell in love with his voice..^^

[gsds01]

i fell in love with his voice..my goodness..^^

[whatever772]

me too his voice was so amazing plus he is cute lol

[CMG64001A]

I love when Matt sang this song, He sounded so romantic and did a good cover of the Bryan Adams's version.

[1Renina]

Gosh Matt is just so amazing. His voice is beautiful, his falsettos are effortless, his riffing is spot on...He records the best out of anyone this season, and if he is not signed soon, some poor l ittle puppy will get it ; 0

[gohogsgo1989]

this is amazingggg!!!! i loved listening to this song as a little kid.

[pbabbat]

I think he is the only one to redo this song, fantastic..

[lindsey108]

great voice,brian adams is very very good but he have allso a great talent.lindsey holland.

[jellyluvspeanutbuter]

hes not gay!!!

he has a girlfriend!!!

and its not me....she showed up on american idol

[xtina221]

Matt and his girlfriend broke up months ago. Her name is Jessica Whelan and they are no longer together

[skitathug69]

who ever brought up a roumor about Matt being gay is way off. i know matt and trust me hes not gay he has a girl friend back here in kalamazoo

[snitch12]

GAGA..sino niloloko mo, ha? lokaloka? bwahahahaa..

tanslation: crazay biatch! who are you fool, fool?..bwahaha..

[autumn2354]

matt not gay is he

[Alana9903]

The studio version is amazing. I've got it on my iPod, and can't stop listening to it.

<3

I was like dreamily staring at the screen when he sang this, my sister said I wished he was singing this love song to me... she always teased me about how much I liked him...

[ariielle1395]

you know, not his 'best' performance, but the studio version is absolutely beautiful. as soon as it was available, i bought it on itunes and listened to it over and over again. <3

[mistyeyedlass]

love this version:)

[k4pswift1]

this is a beatiful song..and he sings it

great..

[hyeeyez]

omgg i lovee this sonngg!!! chillss

[Emelieify]

He is the best ! Matt iS So Good !

[c00lnerd95]

[DevilsNJ4]

Matt's Best Performances in order:

1. Whos Loving You

2. Part Time Lover

3. Human Nature

4. So Small

5. Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman

6. You Found me

7. My Funny Valentine

Viva La Vida and Stayin Alive sucked

MATT IS THE BEST AI HAS EVER HAD!

[McR901119]

I totally agree but I kind of liked stayin alive lol

[hollylaiz]

I agree that he's the best, but VLV and SA did not suck. >(. sorry but i'm a bit obsessed and defend everything i read about Matt.

[j5s2s095]

What about Lets get it on? And Stayin Alive was good

[DevilsNJ4]

Yea I totally forgot about that one Lets get it on was good. I didnt like stayin alive.

[stuwip839]

God, I really wanted him to go all the way. I hope his career takes off. I do like Kris and Im glad he won. Cant stand Adam. Im sorry, but screaming is NOT talent. I saw that hes on the cover of Rolling Stone "Coming Out" to the public. Not that I have a problem with that, but holy shit, whoever did NOT know, must be pretty dense and should probably be suited unfit for mainstream society.

[hollylaiz]

heh you'd be pretty surprised at how many tweenies were in denial, and how many people don't know gay people and haven't developed a good gaydar.

[PortofDan]

My Top 5 matt:

1. So Small

2. Human Nature

3. Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman

4. You Found Me

5. Part-Time Lover

always compared him to JT & matt's

better check out what goes around by matt

[10respect]

I actually think he should be in the finale with kris.. I actually kinda dont lyk adam coz all he does is screaming sorry guys but thats my opinion

[TomasTexas1978]

Matt is way underrated. VERY talented!!!

[ku2busch]

Dude Adam screeches..thats not singing..this isnt a popularity contest..and by far..everyone was better than Adam..even Nick Mitchell. Alexis Grace should have had Adam's spot..Adam should have gone home after his crap country performance..He swears he's David Cook. No..He wasn't and will never be. He tried changing up the songs and failed half the time. Kris can sing and yes I believe other people were better..but I'm glad between them two..the REAL talent won. =]

[misuperman101]

Dude omg ur so write. These ppl wouldnt kno good music if it hit them in da ass!!

I LOVE U KRIS and MATT!!

[GoldRushOfBengalBeau]

omg..finally...someone else hears adams screeching..lool.

[DevilsNJ4]

My top 5 matt performances:

1. Whos Loving You

2. Human Nature

3. So Small

4. Have you ever really loved a woman

5. You Found Me

[LOUXStudios]

Mine:

1. So Small

2. Part Time Lover

3. You Found Me

4. Who's Loving You

5. Human Nature

Matt is awesome

[masterkung1231]

Kris probably won only because of looks. But actually in my opinion Adam looks a lot cooler, still Danny is the best.

[lhongpugee]

Adam is the best and not Kris Allen! Adam should have won the AI. America made a mistake!

Adam and Danny Gokey should have been the Top 2 and not Kris Allen. Adam and Danny is way better than Kris!

[volllcayno]

Yeh i was quite suprised kris won

[ddviolinist]

It's over....lol...move on already.

[eMotHi07]

Matt is cute.. but ADAM is the best..

[TheMotherof2]

Kris Allen is the greatest!!!!

[laggern00b]

READ THIS IT REALLY WORKS!!

1st-put ur handson ur chest

2nd-think of someone u like

3rd-2marrow the person will ask u out or say i LOVE u

4th-the catch is to write this for 5 vids

[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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davedore007]

I can't belive how many meat gazing HOMOS there are here!!! A snatch salad is the way to go bro! You gotta dive in and tickle the clit, you bunch of trouser trout fishermen!!! Or is it fisherwomen? Ugh! Fucking sickos!!!

[ddviolinist]

God, his intonation is so flawless. This guy has major talent. He just seemed so uncomfortable on stage and I think it really hurt him. But, I hope his career takes off in any case. His voice on this recording is top notch.

[BlankCanvas88]

Dang, you're so right! His voice is top notch! but I never realized it b/c, like you said, he wasn't comfortable onstage.

[ddviolinist]

Yeah, I hope that he continues and that he gets over his fear and his discomfort. It would be a shame if he doesn't. I was Concermaster several times for Josh Groban when he first got started, and he was so VERY uncomfortable on stage. Very wooden. I recently saw him on TV and he has grown very comfortable in his own skin. So, things CAN and do change. Good luck to Matt.

[bk2nchr]

that's it!! it just hit me tonight. he did not seem comfortable in front of the audience / judges. he sounds INCREDIBLE on these studio recordings. better than all the other male performers. allison and matt are the two best vocalists, meaning clear, rich, character-filled, pleasant tone, on-key voices.

[MsFlowerchild]

matt should have won he has the most beautiful voice.

[Carammkay]

he reminds me of justin timberlake soo much!

[mgcheerleader]

jealous of his gf!! he is so sexy! it was depressin wen he got voted off!! he shouldve won!!! i love you matt!!!!! <333

[4547939]

best singer on idol 2009. was robbed the title

[craziixxgurl]

dang, he sounds really good.

[xXxGryphus1xXx]

he made this song terrible Bryan Adams Sang it better

[JDavidson111]

i like him

[23prettyinpink00]

i love this... flawless

[shadowprince2011]

I agree, but you have to put in mind how many hours it took to make the studio version sound like this. He does sing great live, but not this great.

[klacksportsman12]

well, basically every song you hear on the radio went through the same process, hours upon hours of work... so that shouldn't really affect your judgement...

[blondewolf84]

I Liked Matt, Adam, and Kris. But my Man is Danny Gokey!

[seablood25]

Matt is great.. He was my favorite singer in Idol.. Unfortunately he could not have gone farther, but he amaze me when he's up on stage. I love his version of this song.. Gud luck matty!!!

[hollylaiz]

not one of my favorite performances/song choices of Matt's, but he did well. never would have listened to it before i heard his version.

[franceszc13]

I really love matt! actually he's my bet.. But i know he will be one of the top recoding artists! keep it up matt! I will wait for your single! ;)

[nohrag]

amazing :)

[rutherism]

i love matt and his version of this song.

[xeblackk]

I adore Matt, and I don't know why.

[authressintraining]

Same with me! I only saw him sing thrice on idol, and I didn't care for it, but when I saw him on the finale, my heart melted.

[eirilover17]

I think Matt is amazing and he was my favorite singer. But I'm not going to bash Adam at all because he is a phenomenal singer to. I wish Matt could have gone farther, but now he'll be able to write his album the way he wants to. I'm waiting for it to come out because it will be great..

[vocaltalent1]

MATT FANS: ADAM FANS HAVE ALWAYS BASHED OUT MATT, UNTIL HE WAS SENT HOME. ADAM FANS R NOW PRETENDING EVERYWHERE THAT THEY HAVE LIKED HIM. OR, R SAYING NOT TO VOTE. THIS FINAL TUESDAY, PLEASE VOTE FOR KRIS. Lets make it a bit more fair than what the show wants it. Its BS that Simon and producers have had a bias part in kicking everyone but Adam on the behind. PLEASE, VOTE FOR KRIS TO WIN. THANK YOU. Matt, it should have been you and Allison equally winning. I love you brother.

[aurush4]

great matt keep it up!! you and Adam at the Top!!! (i wish)

[saulalover72852]

i hope matt was in the top2:(

he's such an amazing singer:D..am an ADAM fan but i loved MATT too:D..

[il0v3NickJ0nas1]

Matt was amazing. I miss him. I'm an Adam fan but I loved Matt too. I wish he was in the top 2.

What is with the Adam bashing? Shouldn't the comments on here be about MATT?

[fakhranwer]

this is soooo good

[erinpilla]

I really love this version

[fruchtmikey]

I LOVE YOU MATT <3

[710111225]

Great job, Matt!

[confuzzledgirl94]

good!

this has more views than Adams horrendous born to be wild.

[1Renina]

HEY GUYS MATT'S ON TWITTER NOW!!! @mgiraudofficial!!!

[oldskewl39]

<3  (:

[LewDyAsWhoiAm66]

i really loves his voice ^^

[PinkFrostyDonut]

Danny will most likely win American Idol because his followers/worshippers vote ferociously by the millions regardless of performance.

Please remember to

Judge Singing By:

1) Vocal = range, tone, quality of voice, versatility

2) Arrangement = originality

3) Stage Presence = attitude, facial expressions, how the performer moves on stage

4) Potential to be a multi-platinum recording artist

Please do not judge by:

sympathy votes, good/bad publicity, physical appearance, lifestyle choices

[Woof2700]

I wish everyone could think like this

[miaread]

america made a big mistake.

he should've won!

[arinarocks]

I love his voice! I almost cried when he was eliminated... I was screaming like a mad girl! I HATE ADAM.

[nikki18xo40xo]

i did cry! because i know him and my sister and him are relle close. they used to be bf and gf but they said it was to weird! hes beenn to my house and sang to me on my birthday i luv him hes so awesome! he shouldve won!

[reester90]

ha ha ha me too! the night he was saved, before he was saved i was like chuckin stuff across the room i was so mad ha ha! i miss him :(

[BlueStarz19]

Amen

[1Renina]

just so beautiful...this guy was robbed...

[davedore007]

SILLY ADAM DICKS ARE FOR CHICKS.

[losrchild16]

who told you it was ok to talk like that?

how pathetic are you, you're only reason for hating him is because of who he loves? who raised you? if you hate him because you don't think he's a good singer, fine. but his personal life is nobody's business but his, and you shouldn't hate him for how he lives his life.

you're truly a hateful person, and i feel sorry for you.

[losrchild16]

your*

sorry. i'd hate for your only retort to be about my grammar. i realized my mistake and now you'll have to read respond to just my comments.

[tnn86]

HAHAHAHA.

[davedore007]

I HATE ADAM AND HIS FAG FANS.

[Avaholics]

i hate adam and his gayness and gay low cut shirts fucking cocky thinks hes so good

[dyguru]

cant wait for his new cd!!!

[drake4563]

Matt sangs this good but I gota admit Chris Daughtry is better.

[luvjohncena4ever]

i love his voice!

i was screaming all over the place when he got elimanated!

[MissAmericanIdol123]

when matt was eliminated the first time im yelling save him!!! i got my wish!!!!! but then he left so im like throwing stuf at my tv

[davedore007]

my wife really liked matt , me not as much tho. i cant realy get behind adam lanbert, i saw a pic of him kissing a dude and from then on i was out on him. im out on the gay thing. so danny is the man now.

[dtate85]

Well that's a really disgusting and shallow stand you're taking. Regardless of Adam being gay or whatever he is, it doesn't take anything away from his talent. Adam has an incredible voice, authentic and powerful, and he will make it very far. People who are so easily judgmental are often times trying to hide their own latent insecurities, so maybe you should re-examine yourself and think again before you judge a book by its color, or title, or however you want to look at it.

[LPAO097]

what hes saying is that adam has like pictures of himself kissing guys he posted it on the internet and he was like a cross dresser in the pic he had a purple wig and makeup on. I just lost respect for him after that I wouldve lost respect for him if he was kissing a girl doing that so yeah

[zamsmam]

May I ask what the hell is immoral about that?

[bjobbins]

He does have some great riffs, and he will do well in the music industry. At least AI gave him so good exposure that he wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm pulling for Danny though. Even if he doesn't win, he will do well in his music career as well.

[singletrekkiefan]

I loved Matt and when he left i was soooo mad so im not gonna watch the rest of the season cause allthe other people suck

[skillshunter]

matt was great ...love him(no homo) ...hes one with Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert who really deserves to be American Idol Season 8 winner..because ..this 3 put so much love into the songs..it comes from the heart ..and this is very important for an artist! listen this song it comes right from his heart! greets from germany...Ralf

[dtate85]

Just because a person adds "no homo" to the end of a sexually-neutral comment just makes them seem even gayer than they were trying to not be, and they are just trying to hide it through paraphrasing. Imagine a gay man saying "no hetero" every time he makes a comment about a girl being hot. Just imagine for a second. Makes people look PRETTY foolish.

[kaygee369]

I agree with you. I think if you're comfortable with your sexuality then you shouldn't have to put things like "no homo" everytime you say something that could be mistaken for a gay comment.

[RomieC123]

I was literally screaming when I heard that Matt got voted off! I just don't know if I want to watch American Idol anymore! haha, I kid, I'll still watch it, but it just won't be the same...Matt was my #1--just so sincere and with a riff that makes me weak. But, he'll do just fantastic in the music industry. Can't wait for his newest cd! Oh, just to mention, Matt has about 1 or 2 cds out right now, and a music video called, "first impression" It's VERY cute.

[mich005]

totally agree with you!! im kinda sad to watch tmro knowing he wont be there :[

[YouKnowWhoIBe]

Wow. He sounds amazing. And as if the song itself wasn't sexy enough, Matt just took it to the next level.

[PinkFrostyDonut]

Matt Giraud is the NEXT DAUGHTRY!!!!!! I can guarantee this. He will be MORE successful than the winner of the American Idol in Season 8. His voice is so radio material!!!!!!

The only way Matt can achieve the success of DAUGHTRY is to work hard and smart!!!!!

[infinito302]

Yeah I was very upset too when they announced the results...

He is one of my favourites with a capital F! :)

[rissy594]

Matty why oh why did u have to leave! :(

[ponyboylover1]

omg i love him and this song..i cried when he got voted off . :(..but hes gonna come out with something..i just know it

[sportsrock123456789]

i love him
