    This performance was great! I think Matt is my 2nd favorite contestant now, behind Anoop.

    love this.

    i’m still not sure whether the bass sound came from one of the singers or from the piano/band.

    Nice performance. Matt was the best, but the backing vocals harmonized great.

    Best group performance of the night! Matt was excellent, and so was India.

    Matt might just have the nicest voice in the competition.

    tell you what…this may have been one of the best group performances ever shown at this stage of idol…(frenchie and kimberly locke maybe ? but they did a duo)…

    they took the time to be original and give a **** !

    matt is really really good in an elliot yamin way…

    and if worse comes to worse i could see these 4 just forming a group ha!

    Matt killed it ! His voice reminds me so much of my man, Eliot Yamin ! From day one, I thought that .
    Danny was my favorite of all the auditions , but I have to say , he has not been as strong as in his awesome audition.

    Adam Lambert was prob. the best of all the guys in Hollywood with Matt Giraud coming in a close second for me . I hope Danny gets his groove back – maybe Motown is his thing : )

    I think Matt could sing just about anything and make is sound sultry and sexy – sigh .

    I love Matt’s voice. Reminds me so much of Elliott’s raspy soul voice. I hope he makes top 12.

    The rap from Indio was really cool too. The group was the best of the night for me.
