I thought we would set up a poll so he would have a better indicator. So please vote.

It's a great song! I'm extremely happy for him. & I do think "Gimme a Break" is about his Idol experience re: knowing he's good enough, but always being in the shadow of others. I totally understand what he was going through. & he put the story together, lyrically, really well. "Is it always raining on me/seems everyone else is in the sunlight/ I'm gonna lift all the weight of the world upon my shoulders" I love his story. & It was such an emotional rollercoaster being a fan of his on the show. I'm glad that's all over now & we get to hear the real Matt. He's such an excellent talent. I really hope he gets the respect he deserves in the music world. Well, I hope they do come back & listen. It’s a great song!

I hadn't really thought about the lyrics to "Gimme a Break", but listened to it again after your note. He is basically saying that not everyone is going to like what he does, and he doesn't have control over things, so he is just going to give himself a break. Do you think it is about his experience on Idol? I love all of this music. It truly sounds like him. I don't know where he goes from here, but as 3DoorsDownFan says, he is doing exactly what he said he wanted to do (make great music) and seems incredibly excited doing it. I am really happy for him. crys, with the excitement of the AMAs and Jedward getting axed from X factor, I doesn’t seem like anyone (other than us two) is still watching this thread, which is sad because they could listen to “Whatever It Takes”.

Color me impressed! Very impressed. These are some strong, solid songs that Matt co-wrote. I am absoultely LOVING them. "I Miss You Tonight" and "Gimme A Break" are two immediate standouts. I can easily hear them as radio hits. Another personal favorite, the bluesy/jazzy "Breaking In A Broken Heart" fits Matt perfectly. This is exactly the type of song I envisioned for him.

(I must say too, Matt sings a mean guitar. :-) I'm chomping at the bit here awaiting the full production versions of these. They belong on my Ipod....like now! P.S. Any word on if video of "Whatever It Takes" has surfaced yet? Attendees from the show are raving about it so I. Must. Hear. Now. :-) Well, well, Matty G., you never cease to amaze me.

Matt stripped down is incredible! There are no words to describe how heart wrenchingly beautiful his vocals are and the piano playing was flawless...passionate & intense are the best words I can find but not nearly enough! I have never been so touched by a musician before. It was such an emotional experience. I don't agree with the last two posters who said Matt needs to define his sound. Imo he clearly did this last night! He sang songs from Disney to The Fray, to Jazz, to Imogene Heap and yet they all were Mattified. What I mean by that is that every song he sang had a bluesy souful sound. Matt has found h is niche and I for one am ecstatic! His sound is incredible! One word to describe Matt's music is art! It's not the watered down nonsense music being released today! I hate the music that is on the radio today! His originals are meaningful, brilliantly written both lyrically and musically. Matt has said his goal is has always been to put out good music that touches someone and not be the next big pop sensation. Well he has accomplished this goal! I am proud to be his fan. Matt is all about the music not the gimmicks or flash. He reminds me of the great musicians of yesteryear. Will he get played on the radio I don't know but I believe he has the potential of having a very long successful and respected career as a musician.
