WOW... I remember watching this and loving Matt. He was my favorite and the only audition I remembered. At the time, I never imagined I'd ever meet him, let alone go to his shows in Michigan and for him to actually know me now! I will always support him no matter what. His dad (who is in this video too) is so sweet!
Also... Everyone should request Matt's first radio single called "Thank You" written by Jim Brickman!!!
Calling all supporters of Matt G! His new single "Thank You" w/ Jim Brickman is out on radio. Matt sounds so good!! Search for it here on youtube. The song's climbing the charts, and you can help by requesting the song from your local AC stations.
Wow! The judges loved him immediately, and I can see why. He has a great voice and is very, very cute! I love how he celebrated going to Hollywood! ;-)
matts awesome. he took pics with us at our prom cuz we saw him at the radison going to dinner. and i saw him a week later at target. haha. hes a cool guy
Hi! I have all auditions of American Idol season 8 in HD in my channel. Everyday i'm uploading more auditions , and then i will upload hollywood Week, Workshops, Concerts and more, pls subscribe and coment, thanks :D Rodrigo, espero que me visiten, pronto tendre mas novedades para ustede, chau! cuidense :D
those hats look ssoooooo SEXY on him!!!! im sooo jealous of his gf!! he is sooo sexy and such an amazing singer! he did not deserve 2 go home!!! i love him ssoooooooo muchh!!!!!!!! <<333333
i was soo sad when he got voted off!! i think the bottom 2 shouldve been matt/kris im happy kris won but i kinda wish matt did!! he is soo amzing!! <33 him!!
And i wanted them to be in the finals together ! They were both amazing it sucks that i couldnt vote (i live in Canada) cause i would have voted SO much !
Oh well i support them buy going to see them on tour and ill buy both of there cds!
I was so upset when Matt left :( And same with Danny but I'm proud of them both for making it so far... I've voted sooo many times. for 2 hours straight. call me crazy but I'm crazy in love with their voices!!! At least they will continue ! :)
I kind of agree with Simon. It wasn't his vocals or artistry that cost him, at all. He has those down pat. But, he always seemed unsure of himself, and I wish he'd believed in himself just a bit more, or at least made it come across better, because he always seemed to be apologizing or agreeing with the judges critique of him, every week, and many times, they weren't right, at all. I just wish I saw the same confidence later in the competiton that he had earlier.
Such a shame he's gone already. His voice is so fantastic, it makes me tingle all over. Kris is my favorite now. Adam can go....the sooner the better.
This is the day, people! Get the VOTE out for MATT tonight! 2 hours, 2 phones. Please help keep him in the competition. Ask your family and friends for help with voting! Don't let the pets overtake him. All Matt supporters have to VOTE HARD. It's way too close!
no piano lessons! and only began to sing at sixteen with no lessons as well....holy crap to be that talented and just born with it so available...jees what i would do for that!!!
he's so emotional in this video...i remember when i first saw this...i was like wow that boy can sing/really play...and because he was so emotional about this big moment it made me get teary eyed...it meant so much to him....he's awesome
It's not luck, it's talent. The judges know he is talented. That's why they picked him for the wildcard round and also used the save on him. He is going to be successful though...definitely. A lot of people love him. Including me!!!
i wish i could but my mother won't let me. i love his audition!!!!!!! i think that thing on his head is a pimple. i wish there was some way he could get rid of it.
haha simon was like being simon at the end but he was smiling tha whole time matt was singing u could tell he like him cuz simon nvr smiled rly

Awwe when he got out at 1:54, you can see it in his eyes that he really wanted this.

Oh well, I hope he continues for his fans! :)

Sigh. Matt you are great singer and piano player. I really hope someone out there gives you a chance.
With the right material and direction you could be the next Gavin de Graw.
By the way, my humble advice to you: Ditch the fedoras and go back to this look. Show off your curls. You look more relevant without those hats.
I am praying for your success.
You are too talented to fade away. Someone sign him!
