Titina, You Said a Mouthful...We're Praying for Miracles, Matt Giraud!!

Titina has left a new comment on your post "Titina (Love that Name!) in the Matt Giraud Army w...":

Thanks for loving my name. It really is not my name but my nickname. Heh.

"That gay Disney cricket" Ha, ha. You are so hilarious.

Anyways...
I just realized by looking at many net sites, blogs and polls that our beloved Matty G is going home tonight.
I think America never got into his fan bandwagon and it is a shame because he is one of the most talented guys out in that stage.
He has so much to offer but I believe he was just not ready for all of this yet. He has so much raw talent but I think he struggles trying to find the artist in him.

Last night wasn't his best performance IMO but he di grat regardless.I was so happy and surprised when Simon praised him so much. "Brilliant" he said.

I bet Matt felt so good when he heard that. But not even Simon's praises are putting him through.
Maybe it was the kiss of death. I am so sad.

I think Matt never quite found the groove on the AI stage.
His earlier performances (Human Nature, So Small, Let's Get It On, Part Time LOver) where so much solid than his latest ones.

I think he felt the pressure, it's all about Adam, Kris and Allison you know. And he knew it and couldn't quite cope with it.

Do you think Matty will get signed by a record label regardless?I sure hope so.

His recordings were the only ones I bought and he sounded incredible.
He also has such a current sound.
Hopefully he built a big enough fan base to keep going.
He is so talented.

Would love to read you opinions on this.
Just wanted you to be prepared for the worst tonight.
Sigh.. I love Matty so much. His journey on this show has been so endearing to me.

Things happen for a reason, that's all I can say.



TITINA!!

I hate to say I'm leaning the way you are about our chances tonight.

I think Kris, Matt and Allison will be in the bottom three if voting is actually used to make the decision.

But I think the show looks at the vote and then decides how it plays into their marketing plan most weeks.

So I think they might put Kris, Matt and Danny in the bottom three, then give Danny the relief button after a little time, leaving Kris and Matt standing there.

Then I think it's about a fifty-fifty proposition, but you're probably right. Okay, maybe a sixy-forty proposition? Seventy-thirty?

I happen to love all the standards and once again (about 95% of the time this season!) found myself agreeing with Simon Cowell that Matt was brilliant.

I hate to say that Danny Gokey knocked it out of the park even if he did. Because I really don't like him--inasmuch as someone can not like someone that one doesn't really know.

I think of course Matt will get an album even if he gets cut tonight. Remember, he did his own arrangements when others were not able to do that. Wasn't it weird that Jamie Foxx wanted to work with Kris Allen when they seem to have so little in common musically. That was really odd. I mean I like Kris Allen and see him as a singer in the Jason Mraz tradition but didn't think Jamie Foxx would dig him. Maybe it's just money smarts. He knows he can turn a buck on the kid.

I have to say about Paula Abdul that she is lovely this season. She was such a drunk and so weird the past few seasons! And now she's smart, empathetic (okay she was always empathetic), on point and ambitious (choreographing, etc.). And she's always the one who stands up and makes sure the contestants stay strong when they go down in flames with her love bomb. I think she's awesome. I'm beginning to suspect they brought Kara on only to galvanize Paula into fight or flight mode. You know, evil stepsister threat? It worked. Now they can can the evil stepsister.

I'm glad I didn't read all those blogs and polls and such, but I had seen the "hateration" in the past when I did read them.

He's so retiring and such a do-gooder (he's even a Big Brother back home) and was almost sycophantic with the judges. It kept him in their good graces but it cost him audience sympathy I think. He began to get a nerd factor going.

I just appreciate the real musical talent and the voice. But this competition is as much about image as it is talent.

I really didn't like Adam's performance but that's so not his style of music. I love all those songs. I'm a big "standards" fan. My mom used to sing those songs professionally back in the day.

I love Chet's "My Funny Valentine" best. Did I post that on my blog? I posted something by him. I've got no mind. I think I posted something else by him.

Thanks for "preparing me for the worst" lol. It's been flickering through my head so I've been sort of mentally preparing.

I still think it might be Kris, but then it would have to be miracle time next week.

Then again, it would be nuts to cut Kris if the numbers show he has a much greater following (I really do believe they manipulate the results. Doesn't it say as much in the small print?)

I think is Allison is in the bottom three, people will say, "Oh, they won't cut the last girl!" But they'd probably get more press from the shock of "all guys remaining" than the other way around.

I don't see myself ever buying an Adam Lambert album. He's good but just not my cuppa, you know?

I think there's a chance I might dig what Kris does in the future and I might even like something by Allison if she goes the Kelli Clarkson route (or her own version of herself, ya know). Who knows.

I would sooner nail my foot to a Great White shark than buy anything Danny Gokey ever puts out.

He should put on a hundred pounds and just become a gospel singer.

That's his forte anyway.

(Fingers crossed and spitting on a dead raccoon for luck)
