@TheAnita99 - so who should they have paired Matt with? Anoop Desai?
The reason they probably paired them together is because Scott was supposed to do a duet with Billy Joel, but Billy Joel cancelled...so they put Scott into a duet with another finalist who could play the piano.
Scott only made it past the auditions because of the sympathy crap. If the judges and America only judged contestants on their voice and stage appearance, Matt would have easily won.
@penguivader I actually saw him when they came to LA for the live tour and scott surprised me the most because he was way better live then he was on the TV. He was really good.
Calling all Matt Giraud fans! His new single "Thank You" with Jim Brickman is out on radio. Search for it here on youtube. It's climbing the charts, and you can help by requesting the song from your local Adult Contemporary stations. Maybe even Top 40 stations! Follow MattsFTLs on Twitter for more info!
If you love Matt Giraud's voice and want to hear it on your radio, please request his new single "Thank You" with Jim Brickman on your local AC station. It is climbing up the AC chart! Check it out on Matt's myspace page.

ugh, Matt Giraud...ugly mohawk...or fauxhawk, whatever. I love Scotty, but cannot stand Matt because I live in Kalamazoo (which automatically means i should like him?) but they wasted a save on him. Shame, shame. Clay Aiken's version was better.
@TenaciousC21 I'm guessing you're deaf, or at least tonedeaf! Because what you're saying here is absolutely rubbish, and you know it! So shut fu** up, and keep your ugly mouth shut!
Matt was actually undoubtably one of the best singers in american idol season 8..
@kjetilver i just said i liked scott, i didn't say anything about his voice. but no, i'm not deaf, thanks. i knew he wasn't going to win, I don't care.
There were plenty of people better than Matt, in other seasons and the season he was in. He didn't win because he just wasn't "good enough" as what everyone says. Now he just stays in my hometown and plays at bars. And don't have to be rude, I don't care if you like Matt, doesn't make me lose sleep at night.
@TenaciousC21 I'm sorry, and I was rude to you.. I guess I was caught in the moment, you know.. :p I clearly overreacted, and I really shouldn't called you deaf and other things, that was stupid of me.. So I apologize to you :-) And you're probably right about Matt, that he just wasn't good enough to win, but I still think that he does have a better voice than for example Kris Allen, really. But that's just me.. Anyway, have a nice day! :D
@kjetilver It's okay, i was just like "ohh, okay? sorry?" but that's okay, i work at Walmart, so I have to be used to the abuse, lol. But I agree, Matt is talented, but made it as far as he could, like Scott made it as far as he could [ i wish i could play the piano like that!]...I liked Kris Allen, so I have nothing sour to say about him...the past couple of years of Idol haven't been that great, in my opinion. I miss all the amazing talent where you couldn't pick who really was gonna win!
@TenaciousC21 You know, I'm a bit shocked actually that I wrote that kind of things to you. I hope you can forgive me? Anyway, I'm really happy and glad that Kris Allen won, and not Adam Lambert, because I didn't like him very much.. American Idol were great a few years back, but I still think that there are many great talents on the show ;-) Like Lee Dewyze..
@kjetilver Oh no, don't worry about it. I've had people tell me worse and argue to me about Tyra Banks and shit [ugh, pain in my ass...] so no worries, it's all cool :). Yeah, I'm happy that Kris won, he is so talented :). Lee is good too! I like him much better than Crystal!
As a huge Billy Joel fan, i was expecting to hate this, like i did with Clay Aiken's version. However, i will say i was pleasently supprised. They embelished far to much on the vocals, but it was pretty good. Especialy the epic piano dueling.
@PsychoTangerine i soooo agree with u! did u noticed since they did that Scott is the only on in the top 13 that DID NOT get a solo in any group song or didn't get a special performance like everyone else did.........i was sooo mad
Matt and Scott really killed it on the pianos!!! Too bad that number got cut from last year's finale show. Why? Commercials for any Idol finale cost $1 million per 30-sec. spot, and there were lots of them last year.
LOVE SCOTT LOVE SCOTT LOVE SCOTT!!!!!!!! AMAZING VOICE!!!!
