Matt Giraud sings "Georgia" at a bar in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

matt made season 8 extra special ! : )

[ThatNatalieGirl]

matt was my favorite from the very start.

too bad idol is friggin' rigged.

it's a shame that the most talented person often doesn't winn.

[gospelgirl88]

@ThatNatalieGirl then why didn't adam win?

[ThatNatalieGirl]

@gospelgirl88

because he sucks.

[gospelgirl88]

@ThatNatalieGirl ok genius.

[ThatNatalieGirl]

@gospelgirl88

i mean seriously, take a listen to matt, then compare his soul and authenticity to adam's overdone, dramatic image. the unusual, over the top artist has been done and redone, but voices and talent like matt are concrete, genuis.

[gospelgirl88]

@ThatNatalieGirl Yes, he may have more soul. But Idol has seen soulful "matt" types since season 1. Don't get me wrong, he has a great voice, but Adam was a star, and they knew it. They judges expected Adam to win, becuase they knew a star had been discovered. Michael Jackson wanted to meet Adam, but unfortunately, he died before he had the opportunity. If Idol was rigged, Adam definately would have won.

[sellenb]

Loved him from the first moment I heard him on AI and Simon compared to Elliott Yamin - another of my favourites! He's just seriously incredible!! Get him signed so he can come and tour the UK [preferably Manchester!!] #SignMattGiraud

[Jacc0s]

You go Matt!! Your voice is really wicked awesome!

[YvetteMJ1]

Matt singing Georgia + playing piano = AMAZING!!

#SIGNMATTGIRAUD !!!!!!!

[KicksofCreativity]

F***ing sign Matt Giraud!

[blues970123]

@KicksofCreativity fuck record labels now a days...

[ecermusic]

@blues970123 They signed LIL ROUNDS of all people, yet they didn't sign Matt.

[musicluver987654321]

I could listen to this alll day :) #signmattgiraud

[praplehaze]

I want to hear this on his first album. I love Ray, and I would never in a million years EVER think anybody could do this song- but Matt is amazing. He puts an instant smile to my face, and I really hope he gets a deal. He deserves it.

[ecermusic]

@praplehaze You mean third album?

[SignMattGiraud]

Matt is such a talent and needs to be signed! #SignMattGiraud

[FTL14HT]

Go Matty G! #SignMattGiraud

[adamlambertlover95]

hes absolutly amazing. very talented

[kathyleen903]

matt will deff be signed soon! love you soo much matt!!!!

[MUSICROX83]

He is so good. :)

[CMG64001A]

Matt is amazing, and he is wonderful with this song. He has an unforgettable quality to his voice. He was one of the most unique contestants on Idol.

[joncabello23]

why do they say that bar lol.its not a bar...Its Monaco Bay

[skitathug69]

you obviously have never been to monico bay

[catirahicks]

I know... I can't believe he is not signed yet.

Please sign this great talented guy. The label who signs him is going to make lots of money IMO. Can't wait to buy his debut album.

[1Renina]

Matt Giraud is the best talent coming out of season 8 in my opinion...

[xtina221]

Totally agree with you 100%

[frogtimeds]

dang.. what a great voice

[flips220]

This nigger needs to hurry up and make an album.

[meloninhk]

Matt and Kris are the best in this season!!!!!!

[rangrass]

Aaahhh, i LOVE Matt! I met him last Saturday, like personally, and I also met him at his homecoming, so he knows me!! =D ahh!

And I've gotten 5 hugs from him total.

& He's an amazingly nice person, so open to fans!!

=D

a;sdfjawoiejfa;fei

I LOVE MATT MORE THAN YOU DO LIKE 100000000000 TIMES MORE THAN YOU DOO. GAHH!

[ervinmatty]

awesome

[JmB8207]

He's so talented (:

[xonickjonas5683ox]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I met him today, at my school he has very good vocals and personality, hes also very cute! <3

[actor123456789]

Is he a nice guy?

[lovekellyche]

i wish i were there...

[KennilworthyWhisp]

i was so sad when he was sent home! he's got some SERIOUS talent, and i know he's gonna make some amazing music in the future!:)

[retrosamurai]

It really should have been down to Matt and Adam. I was going for either one, and if one lost--I wouldn't have felt bad about the other because I knew they were pretty good.

[volllcayno]

I agree:p

[ThatNatalieGirl]

matt is the man!

i would perfer him over anyone in the competition!

[LOUXStudios]

he should sing with The Fray on the finale!

[vindicatedme]

perfect

[aitwilightfan2009]

I absolutely love this song that he sings. His voice really suits the song and he sings it perfectly. Love You MATT!!!!!!

[kbfurreal]

i think he's at zazio's. i looove it there.

he's amazing too =]

[hiphopjade]

hes sweet just saw him on stage today

[dd5774]

lol...i was there that night : )

[xxismellasmellxx]

some of the fools arnt even paying attention, idoits dont understand talent

[jethera]

he's just too good to play at a bar

[kerimarie417]

where's this one at? Zazios?

[mich005]

love him!! he has real talent. i really hope he makes it big. i want to see him perform live!!

[aygulyoyo]

he is very good, he said that he learned piano without any lessons , that`s amazing .its such a shame he got voted off of americal idol.I would still by his album.

[Ccindyy24]

Amazing!

[hollylaiz]

i love that 'ha!" little laugh thing he does when he sings at 1:13

[antiPeteWentz]

just proves that teens nowadays only cared bout people going to be mainstream being pop stars performing like some dumbfuck Miley Cyrus on big stages. What they forget is passion + talent which = Matt Giraud.

Amazing blues feel and definitely, the most versatile contestant by a mile. Wont be surprised if we see Matt again, releasing a record and owning Adam till he kisses Matt's feet

[ninoyarias]

I agree with ya antiPeteWentz! I think Matt's the most versatile singer of the latest AI season. Anoop is better than Adam i think! Matt is better than Adam. It's only that Adam hits high notes and yes he can sing but not that good as Matt or Anoop.

[HeritageKalamazoo]

I can't wait until Matt comes back to Kzoo. I think our fair town will give Matt a parade and a key to the city. I don't remember any contestant on Idol being so diligent in mentioning their city and school. And it doesn't really matter that he didn't win ... he's got a remarkable career ahead of him.

[LustCorp0Com]

He's a better keyboardist than a singer.

[jzme]

how do u expect people to copy when the spelling is not even right.

[KingdomKupcake]

Oops my bad! I copied someone else's work and didn't edit it.

[jzme]

haha its ok man. GIRAUD FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

[gymfan06]

yay! Kzoo boy!! BRING IT HOME MATT! :) He is amazing and his rendition of this song is brilliant

[xXOhEmileeXx]

o hot damn that is at Zazios!!! wow i live down the road from there!

GO MATT

[wmuduckie]

this is actually at Zazios in the Radisson Hotel

[xXOhEmileeXx]

wow matt is my hero!!!! i am sooo happy to kno u personally!

[disturbed1iam1]

Matt Will Be The Next American Idol...Bring it home to Kalamazoo, Matt!!!!

[BraydensMom23]

Everyone Vote for Matt! Hes sooo Extremely Talented!!.... Your freakin Gorgeousss!

[CodyLawrenceTV]

O_O

AMAZING

[00starlitebrite00]

I have loved his singing since I saw him sing Georgia on Hollywood week, I will continue to vote like crazy each week.

[catirahicks]

I think he should sing Me & Mrs Jones during jazz week.

Matt is so sweet... and soo talented.

I hope he keeps going in the competition. It's been such a tough journey but he is amazing.

I pray he keeps going.

[Jasoncm20]

omg I pass this bar "Monaco bay" everyday! It's so cool to have an American Idol right here from Kalamazoo, MI!!!

[junpax30]

I think he should sing MR Bojangles...it's pretty cute on guitar, I bet it would sound great on piano. wut do u think? Georgia will be great for his second song. It's a repeat but he could sing most of it and show the world he's a jazzy man, too

[iqkid1212]

wow sing this on tuesday!

[debbiecalvajaso]

Matt you are soooo awesome. I absolutely hope that you win American Idol. Your voice is unique and your talent with the keyboard is off the hook. You got tremendous skills.

[moosejuice683]

AAAAAAAhhhhhhh!!!!!!! i just adore matt sooooo fricken much!!! when he sings it gives me chills all over and i just want to sit and listen to his voice all day. he has mad piano playing skills too lol . VOTE FOR MATT!!!!!!!

[tburke1515]

this was at zazios after he made it to hollywood, i was there and it was absolutely packed, Matt is sooooo tight!

[fadeinxscene]

Is this Monaco Bay? I'm from Kzoo, but still only 20, so my bar experience is limited...

[fadeinxscene]

Which bar is this?

I'm from Kalamazoo, but still only 20, so my bar experience in the area is limited.

[Jasoncm20]

yea its Monico Bay! Dude I pass this bar everyday!

[giraudlover]

even though he has small chance of winning,still want him to WIN.:(

[mfoxx007]

and he says he has never had any piano lessons?!?!! man he is good....I took 5 years of piano lessons and I'm not as good has him!!! I'm jealous haha

[dudesonLAPLAND]

i live in kalamazoo!

[lilprincessb]

I want him to win so bad. I was well happy when they saved him. I wish I could vote, but I can't cos I live in Britain :/

[rosieposiexd]

when people see him play these songs they're like oh. yeh he is good.

i want him to win

[sammiwenz2]

you are amazing!!

[Freckles349]

That's raw natural talent. He is a musician and there's no one better than Matt this season. He's got it....

I can't wait to buy all his records!

[vlsnessa]

ahh! i totally agree!!!! He's the best this season!! his voice is just amazing and he's got such a humbled spirit.. he blows me away! Matt's already my idol whether he wins it or not!!

[rosieposiexd]

Don't fight just appreciate his music

[rogefer]

Matt Giraud is so good. I cannot wait to buy his album.

[DaleyDrummer123]

they need to show him playing this song but soo we can actually see his hands so i can learn this song...every video i see you can never see his hands and it pisses me off...........but it is a very good song

[emiliehayden]

i get chills every time i hear him sing this song!!! he's unbelievably hot.

[JonasBrothersLove016]

I was there. (:

[FlorentinaWest]

Matt ,I'll vote for you 100 X more next week. I'm so glad the judges saved you last night!!!!! You are the shit!

[tubeatwork]

Calling him the shit is an understatement. He makes shit look like shit, because he has got it goin' on!!!!!!

[DavidCookRox12]

This guy is so talented, love him. And I agree, I'd much rather hear Matt sing than Adam, Adam is just too shrieky for me at times. Matt is so amazingly talented. Glad the judges saved him!

[CarrieN189]

Amazing! This guy is soooooo talented! I get pleasure listening to him FOREVERRRR!

LOVE U, MATT

[quamaemeadows1000]

get it white boy

[jojo664]

You MUST vote!!!!!!!!!!!!! or this talented guy could go home.

[nanhoyo]

i could listen to this guy sing forever

[athousandstrats]

I can't believe people would rather hear Adam Lambert shriek his head off than listen to this.

[spiveyc07]

omg I completely agree.

I don't know what everyone sees in Adam!

[geria63]

Thank you! this guy can actually sing, not shriek, like you said....i like Danny too.

[cookiedeeh]

Totally agree! I dont get it..This guy is mad talented!! Love Matt G.!!!! Vote!!

[willowsmommy0328]

Matt can't hit the high notes that's why and I bet he goes home next week. BTW It's not called shrieking or screaming if you are hitting the notes correctly. Jealous bastard.

[athousandstrats]

Okay...

First of all, why is it ME that's jealous? I;m not even a factor in the equation, vocally. And no, it's not always shrieking or screaming if you hit high notes. But the way in which Adam projects them with the tone and tension that he does makes them sound quite shriek-like.

[willowsmommy0328]

YOU are the jealous one because YOU are the one bashing adam's voice. ALSO, I was saying that Adam isn't screaming BECAUSE he is hitting the high notes CORRECTLY. Have you heard any of Adam's performances on here off of Idol? his upright cabaret performances are nothing like screamo, their ballads. Oh and never said I didn't like Matt either, but it would be cool if he went home because I live where he lives duh.

[tubeatwork]

Amen!!!!!! His screaming is really getting annoying! He does the same type of performance every week. It's getting soooo old and played out!

[athousandstrats]

He has two setting. Theater-rock shrieker or suit-wearing balladeer.

[tubeatwork]

LOL, so true. He either makes himself look like Elvis or a rocker. Don't get me wrong, he's talented, but he's definitely way overrated. And, I think it's funny that Simon ragged on Randy for saying Adam was too theatrical tonight, but in the beginning, that's the thing Simon complained about the most with Adam. Did Simon forget he used to hate Adam? What happened? He's suddenly in love with the guy now. I remember now too long ago Simon referred to one of Adam's performances as horrendous.

[rareair714]

yes he has got to sing that this week

[actor123456789]

he would be in for sure. I would love if he sang Hit The Road Jack.
