Birth Name:
Matthew Scott Giraud
Season 8 American Idol top ten finalist Matthew Scott "Matt" Giraud was born on May 11, 1985 in Dearborn, Michigan. He grew up in Ypsilanti, Michigan where he graduated from Lincoln High School in 2003. Now a resident of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Matt has spent many years following his dreams to become a professional musician by performing as a singer and a dueling piano player in many local clubs. His first big break came in the Summer of 2008 when he decided to audition for the singing talent show American Idol. After making it past the first round Matt went on to make it allMore the way to the top 10. Though marked for elimination in the top 7, Matt was saved by the one-time use 'judges save' and went on to finish fifth overall. In the summer of 2009 from July to September Matt toured with the other top ten finalists all across America. He is now planning to host his own solo tour starting in January 2010.

  • Rat Pack sends one American Idol packing

    At this stage in the game, it’s anyone’s guess who will get the Idol axe (but Adam in the bottom three? Really? I mean really people…). Yet it seemed only natural that Matt Giraud, the Idol saved from the fiery pits of elimination once, would be voted off again by fans. They could always bring him back again with the 'opps you picked the wrong Idol, America' card…but probably not because that card doesn’t exist (although it should in the case of Taylor Hicks).

  • American Idol rundown: The Mosey to Motown

    Smokey Robinson stopped by American Idol this week to advise the 10 remaining contestants in the ways of Motown. The night included footage of a trip to Detroit, some weird stuff with Paula, Simon, and a magic marker, and a lot of fairly boring performances. Or maybe it wasn't the performances as much as the show itself, which seemed bloated with random asides (a coloring book?) and yet somehow still managed to seem rushed by the end.
