It took a lot to take you home, one stupid call and I end up alone.

Today was just another typical Tuesday: hung out at home, had some coffee, watched TV, and Tweeted up a storm.

Tonight the big topic on Twitter was trying to get record companies to sign "American Idol" season 8 finalist Matt Giraud.

Giraud, if you remember, was the 5th place finalist this season, a dueling pianist from Kalamazoo, MI, and the recipient of the "Judges' Save", where he was spared elimination and then eliminated for good 2 weeks later.

I first heard Matt's final Hollywood solo, where he sang "Georgia On My Mind" and I thought he was phenomenal. He made it to the top 36, and he picked a song that wasn't the best for him, "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay. I actually liked his performance of it. He didn't advance to the final 13, but was brought back for the Wild Card round and he was chosen to advance to the final 13.

Matt is an amazing artist. He's been compared to the likes of Justin Timberlake, Michael Buble, Chris Martin, and Isaac Slade. He's a great singer, amazing on the piano, and I think he'd make a great artist. He deserves to have a recording contract, and if he is signed, I will definitely buy his CD. Plus I've seen interviews with him and he's VERY funny........I think he and I would be good friends. And we both love Disney movies, so if we were friends we could get together and watch them.

He released a couple of albums prior to Idol.......I haven't heard them yet, but if I get a chance, I will give them a listen. I bet they are amazing.....just like he is. And I really hope he gets signed to a major label and puts out a CD, cuz it'll be awesome.

So there's my rant of the night, may not be the best, but it's after 1:00 am and I'm blaring All Time Low in my ears. I'm heading back up to my grandma's house tomorrow, will update as much as I can!

Love y'all,
