This guy is like an immitation Gavin Degraw... the hat, piano, performing on the Ellen show and, yes... even the song. Gavin performs this song as well. I do belive that this Matt Giraud guy is very talented in his own right. I guess if you are going to immitate someone then you should do it well and in that light, well done!
Matt baby...you really let it out on this song!!! Fabulous job! You were such a strong, strong competitor in AI. I was very proud of you! Ellen knew exactly what I am talking about. I wish I was the one on top of the piano!!!! You have that kind of charisma!!!!
This was another incredible cover during the season. Videos like this are reminding me of just how talented Matt is. This vocal is superb. It's a cliche but he really does have a lot of soul for a white man. He was my favorite contestant and either him or Adam should have won. To hell with the results. It will give him the exposure he deserves and his talent will do the rest.
Matt fans: please request Matt's single "Thank You" with Jim Brickman on your local AC radio station. He needs just a few more stations to play the song to make it into the Top 20 on the AC chart. Also, buy it on ITUNES!
Check out Matt's new single "Thank You" w/ Jim Brickman. Search for it here on YT or on Matt's myspace. He sounds sooo good! The song's climbing the charts and you can help by requesting it from radio stations. Google "mattgiraudfans forumotion radio requests" for more info. Please do it for Matt, wherever you are. #SignMattGiraud
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!
Not criticising Kris, but Matt is a MUCH more skillful singer and performer. It would've been a better addition to the American Idol group if he won instead.
@Niveditha1080 Totally agree... His voice and showmanship is much more skilled and natural on him than KRis. But AI is also a popularity contest, that´s why Kris won.
A few years back, when I was a sophmore in high school, I took a trip with my church to michigan, and there was a piano in the lobby and there was a guy there singing for tips, I had him sign my bible lol and he gave me his card, a ew years later, on american idol, there comes this guy, who looked oddly familiar, turns, out it was the same person. Im glad he took my advice and did american idol, kinda upset he didnt win. It ried calling him cause I have his card lol, he never answered.
Not bad. Usually when I hear people sing Marvin Gaye songs they just fail in comparision to the fallen legend. Not saying that Matt's version was even close to as good as Marvin's...but good.
Great version and great performance! One of my favorites with Kris Allen in season 8! He needs to come out with an album! He reminds me of one my favorite contestants Elliott Yamin! Ahh go Matt I want your album! Go get on it :)
I really wanted kris and adam to be in the finals but after hearing him singing this I changed my mind.. it's shoulda been adam and matt.... anyways.. hes still good.. XD
thats my question. its ridiculous. unfortunately, i just think the pressure got to him n started to affect his confidence and, therefore, affecting his performances. but when the pressures off he is phenomenal! all i know is im definitely buyin his album!
@yeahtoast22 He didn't win because he came off as somewhat introverted on stage. I have always really loved him though. I still remember when he sang "Georgia" early on in the competition. He should have pulled that out near the end. It was incredible.
He said that even if he didn't get a record deal, he would release his own music on iTunes. And, on Twitter he was #7 most popular for #signmattgiraud. Things are looking good :]
i love matt!!!! but i do prefer him performing live instead of recording a song. he sounds better when he is himself and free to do whatever. he seems more comfortable and has more fun.
winners curse? idk. he would have had so much more exposure and popularity though if he went a little further. not to say 5th isn't good enough, but this is a competition and we're trying to come in first here. i believe he wanted to win though. why wouldn't he deserve that?
Lol I cracked up when Ellen started to slide across the piano hehe ya gotta love her =)
Uff Matt- how could this guy get voted out?? Something went seriously wrong! He's so cute, so talented, his voice is soooo sexy it just makes me squeal! You may not have won AI but only a fool would refuse to give you a recording contract- I WILL be buying that future album. Big love for Matt from the UK <3
