  • You have to search for Matt singing "lets get it on" while playing the piano... AMAZING...

  • he is one heck of a man to sing that song because thats FAB FAB FAB!

  • FUCK!!!!

  • I know him! My friend is his neice.

  • @206ld Really? That's really cool! Tell him he has fans all the way from Singapore! X

  • @TowelBowels and...i am he's korean fan :)

  • I miss him, he was the only person i voted for on AI, and after his season i stopped watching.. the show sucks now.

  • Interesting he picked his own key. Had he done it in the original key, I doubt he would have sounded even passable.. Wouldn't we all like to have that privilage?!! THE KING OF POP IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING.

  • i prefer this than any high pitched prepubescent voice any day

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

  • that man can sing a run like it nobody's business.

    amazingggg.

  • Taylor Hicks

    AWWWW! BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    ha :)

  • Damn why didnt he win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hes from Kalamazoo which means he can sing soul real well. Hes my homeboy and love this version of the Jacksons "Whos loving you"

  • Best!!!!

  • Omg! soooooo much soul!

  • so romantic :)

  • love matt (and anoop) and love his version of this song. I hate when people sing this song and scream it, which many do, but, matt does not....screaming does not equal powerful.... wish the version on my page sounded this good, lol

  • where is he now?

  • 0.21 -0.24 my god. the control!!

  • @Pooratzp yeeaaaaaaaaaaaah!! :-D

  • shaheens got range, but matts got soul and charisma,

  • mad mad runs...

    AWESOME!!!

  • This guy does a very good job....a nice voice.... 5+...

  • Oh I love when Michael sings this.. he was so cute when he sang this song.. with his brothers the jacksons... MIchael Jackson rocked this song even at 9

  • Matt is AMAZING...

    What a voice...

  • you must be kiddin.....i mean....matt has a waaay better tehnique than shaheen,.,,c'mon shaheen has a great talent...and a great voice....for is age....but matt has a lot more experience in singin....maybe one day....he will be better than matt...who knows..:P anyway it;s all good..cheers..:P

  • @VladPatryck ....shaheen is a kid!!!! matt is an adult!!!! it's normal that "matt has a lot more experience in singin"

  • this is good

  • any girl would want him to treat her bad *wink* lolz

  • This is iT wow

  • Aaow!!!! I love it!

  • God given voice

  • #signmattgiraud

  • i just came omg

  • good :)

  • I love thiss!!!!

  • not really nawaz 101

  • MJ and MG have different ways of singing this song. And both of them rock it. It was awesome! :)

  • Matt G. u owned this song. Yeheeeeeeeey !!

  • this song is one of the hardest songs to sing

  • lol i'm from germany and he has the same

    neckerchief like me:)

    He's good!

  • uhhhm...haha, shaheen sang it very well for his age, as did michael (only waaaay better than shaheen..) but this is -and i have to say i've never heard it before now- better than shaheen, simply coz this guy's got more technique, and his voice is more blues than shaheen's. Still, MJ sang it best!

  • Why do people keep comparing other singers to Michael Jackson. Michael is incomparable, however, when Michael sang this song, he was 10. Now I have heard other ten years old sing it better than Michael, but the WAY that they are singing it was still TAILORED by Michael. Let other ppl get their time to shine (they have Michael's light to guide them).

  • okay, do you have names of these other ten-year-olds, b/c now I'm intrigued

  • this is beautiful i cried love u!!!!!!

  • I agree with chakdeindiacricket. MJ's version was waaay better. But Matt's version is definately second best:] I got a chance to meet him in DC on his tour about 1 week ago:]

  • Mj was better :P

  • THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG WAS WHEN HE SANG IT...AND I LOVE THE WAY HE SANG IT IT WAS AMAZING...srry mj

  • o.0 oh my gosh!!!

    I think my heart just stopped

    it's so soulful and sensitive

    CMG64001A, I totally agree--a MAN's interpretation of the song ;)

    I still love Michael though

  • @patti9estel well if you think this is good, a man's interpretation of this song and what not, then you would know that david ruffin's, of the tempations, interpreatation makes this guy, as great as he is, look like childsplay. The Temptations "who's loving you" with david ruffin will make you melt and blow this away!!!

  • OMG!! i feel like a teenager again....great job matt

  • 0:19 - 0:26 was incedible!!!

  • I KNOW! Tell me about it! Im a good singer and i can do most of the vocals or what ever on this song. BUT THAT... is just crazy.

  • I don't think we can compare Matt's version of this song to MJ, Shaheen or Archuleta. Those 3 were kids (boys)when they performed WLY, and Matt was singing it LIKE A MAN. They're all really good though, just in different styles. LOVE YA, MATT! <3

  • awsome voice

  • isn't perfect but I truly believe he shoudl have gotten farther in the competition.

  • I love Matt's version if this song. He has a unique sounding voice. This song suits his bluesy style.

  • i prefer matt's version. it has emotion, and sounds deep. michael is one of the only kids to posess such soul and emotion at such a young age. shaheen just doesn't cut it.

  • I agree with you completely, matt's version was soulful, while shaheen was just trying to sing with a big voice.

    I don't know why everyone like shaheen's version.

  • You guys really shouldn't compare Shaheen's to Matt's. Matt's was soulful and awesome. And so was Shaheen's. I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

  • because his rifts and vocals were amazing. -.-

  • this guy is vocally amazing if anybody doubts that he came 5th out of america, if he enterd any contest out of america he would win hands down, i still think he should have won it

  • last time i checked, karaoke singers sung the songs almost exactly the same as the originals. where do you see matt doing that?

  • holy woah.....give him a contract already,bitches...this GUY ROX!!!!

  • you can't deny this is pretty good. he just tries to show off his vocal range a little too much. if he just sang it consistently and backed off the "yeeeaahuhauhaahhh yeahahhhhahaaahhh"s, itd be great.

  • rarebikes88 take your negtivity elsewhere please, if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.

    MATT IS AMAZING!!! wish he got farther in AI. love ya matt

  • it really all depends on your musical taste on which version you like better- i mean matts version was original- he changed it up- so weather you like matts or shaneens it doesnt matter b.c their both great. i like this version but thats just me- all that matters is that they both sung great and represented michael jackson well.

    R.I.P Michael Jackson- you are missed..

  • Ha! Owned by a 12-year-old kid. This is no way as good as Shaheen's version.

  • lol hes not trying to like them hes doing it his way changing the key to his voice give him credit and comments on his style he did good

  • Okay, I took note of what you said and listened to it again.

    It's still shit.

  • every child sounds like shaheen.. such a common voice.

    time will tell with that kid.

    if you listened to him at mj's memorial his voice took a turn for the worse. most likely puberty but..

  • Oh yeah, because every 12-year-old can sing with such power and control in their voice (note sarcasm)! I'll agree that his performance at MJ's memorial was not great, but that's because I was comparing it to his audition for BGT. Did you even see that? Watch it and then tell me that his voice is average.

  • All I'm saying is MANY MANY kids have that voice at that age. That cutesy sound. Time will tell.

  • I guess time WILL tell. I have faith that his voice, even through the breaking, will get much stronger as he grows. And I sincerely hope it does, for his sake and also for those who enjoy his music.

  • nonsense; that's complete bullshit; the power, sound, vibration in that voicem that bit of hoarseness is unique. Give me even just one example of a kid that can sing like that. And i happen to know a lot about these things.

  • if you see- david archuleta sung like that with that sort of rasp to his voice when he was on star search to this exact same sonng

  • Are you friggin high?? LOL not every child has that voice... Its not as common as you think. You are right about one thing though... we will have to see what happens when the poor kid hits pubery.. His voice will change but if he trains it right, Im sure he will be fine.. and the MJ memorial performance was fine... You should be dissing Mariah Careys performance if anyones... she has completly lost it. It was terrible. she can't even hit the high notes anymore.

  • Not every child of course, but his voice is very common among the young kids who SING.

    It wouldnt make sense to talk about her on this video. But yeah it was definately not a showcase of her talent. Her voice isnt nearly as good as before. But when she really sings its amazing, just not that high note shit.. she cant do it anymore. When she uses the power in her voice its still there.

  • i LOVE the way he sings this song!!

  • shaheen is way better dan dis guy......neither are as talented as MJ tho

  • this dope fa sho

  • This was an amazing job. He's not trying to be MJ, he's paying tribute, it's AMerican Idol...and he's not a JT wanna be either. He's Matt Giraud, and he rocks, and he is an amazing singer, and has an awesome personality and he rocks at the piano. Matt you are a very talented young man.

  • ANYWAY.. i loveoovlovllololoooove this song so much! They're both so good. I can't decide which I like more, Michael's pure soprano voice or Matt's sexy gravely deeper version...

  • RIP MJ! Good job MaTT love me his sanging! Does anyone know if he got a record deal yet?

  • there's absolutely no point in venting your angst at michael jacksons death by slating another artists interpretation of the song. go elsewhere.

  • We fuckin got it the first time genius...alright u dont like him...deal with it!!!!Fuckin whiner, just shut the fuck up

  • i love you too honey!

  • probably you dont understand this kind of music because he made a  very good performance...

  • Why dont you try and sing it you cocksuckin bitch.

  • Michael sang it high because his voice WAS high. He was a little kid, OF COURSE hes gonna sing it higher. listen to other jackson 5 songs, his voice is high in all the songs. So stop hating on matt cus u cant sing.

  • so there you go rarebikes88. you admitted that you can't sing as high as michael. and i'm sure you couldn't even sound as good as Matt in HIS key. take your jealousy elsewhere. you probably want to pick up Matt cuz you're so in love with him.

  • the only homo is you, since you say you'd blow matt. you're a fool for coming back to this page just to talk shit about someone you don't even know and is way more talented than you. so go play with your toy bikes you fat fuck.

  • you're a troll, i'm not going to keep this up and feed you. but i have noticed you talk an awful LOT about gays. how do you know so much about matt? you're just jealous because he's 10000x better than you in every way. closet case?

  • rarebikes88 is such a matt hater, yet he takes his time to watch his videos and comment? hahahaha so funny..

  • yeah right i watch his videos!!hahahahahaahhahahaha AS SOON AS THEY COME UP I STOP THEM. THIS GUY SUCK ASS!!!

  • Go STFU and watch and comment on something you like... cause guess what, reading your useless, brainless, homophobic opionions is just a waste of everyones life.

  • go shove a microphone up ur ass

  • your all robots and would love anyone at karaoke night! Real talent is allways looked over. this guy still sucks

  • everybods hatin on dummbass!!! go take ur conversation somewherees will ya old man?

  • one of my favorite performances on idol...ever

    probably imagine by archie then this <3

    GO MATT GIRAUD

  • This guy is just awesome!!! He should have been in finale with Kris...that would have been a reat show.

  • YEAH!THEY SHOULD! I would've really loved that. Matt and Kris rock my socks :D

  • He wasn't nor isn't trying to be Justin Timberlake. It's the judges, particularly Kara and Randi that kept comparing him to Justin. He's often said that his genre is jazz. He likes to do that bluesy jazz thing. I think that's thousands of miles away from Justin. There's room for both of them.

  • two words: spell check

    And btw he's cute and anybody with ears would tell you that he's got a better voice than JT

  • Shaheen sang it betta but i still <3 matt

  • he did a good job...

  • what does it mean to riff?

  • To go like OOOoooouooOOohooouOo yeahhhh. IDK how much that explains, but he riffed at the end. lol

  • oh aright lol thx

  • bahahaha yeah thats crack up, riffing sounds rude even

  • haha...I love your explanation of riffing!!!

  • when you shift from one note to another back and forth. like in the beginning; wheEeEEeEeeEn. yeah julians desc is way funnier haha

  • it means to oversing in a good way...going up and down with your own melody to suit the song....ie mariah carey does it to much ...paul rodgers is good at it and so is this guy

  • aright thx

  • yeah pretty much riffing is like series of unconsecutive notes with one vowel. Doing a series of consecutive notes is a run.

  • matt. u are the best

  • Nobody on the show can riff as perfectly as Matt does

  • Matt was the most talented person this season period. He just chose a couple wrong songs and Adam was so overtop he kinda stole all the attention. Who agrees that Matt should have won this season?

  • I totally agree with you.

    Love from England Matt!

  • me =) Matt was my fav. this season <3

  • SHAHEEN JAFARGHOLI

  • gtfo

  • yep was cheering for matt... although i must admit adam deserved to win because of how balzy he was... and he sang ring of fire... its like my favourite song now... he sang it perfectly... although in terms of talent, in my opinion kris and matt should have been in the final with matt edging it...

  • he should have won with adam as second because i hate to say it but matt could use some help with singing because hes not at a professional level yet while adam is

  • Adam has a loud strong in your face voice and I'm sure he's had lots of training. Way more than Matt. Which is why I prefer Matt's voice, not only does it sound waaaay sexier and better to me, but it's so untamed and natural. Adam himself even said that Matt's talent intimidates him.

  • luv u matt

  • omg.. i'm sorry that i never listen to him carefully.. now i know why people love him.. omg =.= his voice is so godly! dang it!!

  • Who are the judges to tell him "that's not you"? Matt knows who he is, and it's unfair to group him into one category because he is very versatile and diverse. He brings soul, rock, r&b, pop, whatever with his voice and was trying to showcase that.

  • wow gorgeous!!

  • Whose performance is better, matt giraud's or shaheen's?

  • i think they're both AMAZING!

  • Shaheen

  • shaheens defo

  • Love them both :)

  • bansy123, Matt is much better. It's not even a contest. but.....l'd love to hear shaheen sing this in about 10 years. Then we'll compare.

  • matt i hate shaheen

  • Love is blind; hate is deaf.

    Author Unknown:)

  • yeahh i think matt did better than shaheen on this one

  • Little Shaheen, little Michael Jackson, little Stevie Wonder.....nobody knows what the future holds for any singer but having the kinda voice that bowls you over at the age of 12 is probably as good a start as you can get. Matt is cute and competant but somehow he lacks the drive that seems to be pushing Adam and , to some degree, Danny. That`s not to say that he`s bad or won`t do great things. They just have that extra something that all the really great performers have, the "natural" gift.

  • Comment removed

  • Little Shaheen, is good.. But he don't have the soul Matt has, yet. And he may or may never have it. We have yet to see. Usually people this young in their popularity are long burned out by the time they hit their adolesence. he a child with a good voice.

    Matt is hot, here and now!!!

  • Matt is cute but if you want to hear this song sung well ,check out Britains got talent 2009 ,a kid called shaheen sings it and knocks it out of the ball park...he`s 12 years old by the way :0)

  • Checked your link.. it was good. Nice. But often we have to look at the guys 50-60 yrs ago who sang these kind of songs. Sould songs like this must of been really quite beautiful since before its time, we sang fight songs...brings up the idea that Idol teaches us about our modern music.

  • omg i know right! that was amazing!

  • Copy and paste if' Shaheen Jafargoli* brought you here :) - I loved this song before but Shaheen has made people who would have never listened to it go on youtube and search it! xxx

  • ex ka zoo resident says you did great. way to go.

  • i am so sad he was eliminated.but i bet when this season ends he will more successful than the rest. he reallg got the talent! i love you matt!!

  • Matt shouldve won. he was easily the best.

  • I know.

    I cried when he left :(

  • Copy and paste if' Shaheen Jafargoli* brought you here :)

  • Copy and paste if Shaheen Jafargholi brought you here. :) he is so much better :)

  • Copy and paste if' Shaheen Jafargoli* brought you here :)

    he sung so much better than this GUY!

  • matt is so talented just wish the usa could kept him longer for the rest of us to enjoy, instead we have to put up with hicks part 2
