Let’s hope Matty G doesn’t fade away in the future. It would break my heart. I always though the was going to be the next one sign after the Top 4 but I guess not. Sigh..

Well, he’s extremely talented, in multiple ways.

So somebody in the music industry is surely going to want to hire him for *something*, seems to me. They recognize talent.

And then once he starts getting jobs in the big-time part of the industry, he can build connections and possibly get something bigger down the line or at least a good contract with a solid indie label and a touring gig. He’s at least on the radar screen now, and I can’t imagine that his talent will be allowed to go completely to waste.

I know we are all anxious to find out what Matt is going to do, but he is writing some amazing new music (particularly #Imissyoutonight !!!) and I’m sure he’ll get it out there soon. By taking his time he has been able to make some connections with A-list country writers and producers, even though the music he is writing is definitely not country. I doubt this ever would have happened if he had been tied to a recording contract.

It may be true that Matt doesn’t fit nicely into a specific radio-friendly genre because his sound is truly unique. But I know he’ll have a long and successful career performing and writing music, even if he never becomes a major radio star.

I am still sad though there’s no news about Matty G. His originals were pretty great the other day during his mini concert.

I just think Matt is so talented that he truly deserves a chance to record with a major label.

Maybe the problem right now is the genre he wants to go into, labels must be undecided on how to market him. I think he can do well so many styles though. That could also be the problem.

If Matt decided to go country he could be super successful IMO. I remember Top 11 night when Matt performed”So Small” how impressed Randy Travis was with him. I loved that performance it was magical.

What’s the scoop with this label? country? christian?

They are very new, most or all of their artists so far are doing Christian music I think. The most well-known is Press Play. Dream Records may not necessarily see themselves as limited to Christian music, however.

Michael is describing his music as country? From the one song I heard, it did have a Christian element in it, so maybe there is a crossover range he’s looking at that could leverage the abilities/experience of Dream Records and their partnership network.

Season 7 has both Davids, Michael, Brooke, Jason, Kristy and soon Carly so looks like a tie.

Any bets on who’s next?”

Lil is already signed, but there hasn’t been an official press release yet..if i am not mistaken

Hope Matt or Anoop is next…but I think Megan will be next, i think she said she had some exciting news on twitter not too long ago..

I think that the genres Matt’s best at aren’t high-selling enough for people to snatch him up, mega-talented as I think he is. … To me, his strength seems to lie in kind of jazzy, bluesy, sort-of-blue-eyed soul stuff, and that doesn’t sell very well just now.

And, honestly, talented as he is, I haven’t seen him do a very good job with the sort of soft, alt-ish rock that he kept saying he *wanted* to do.

Matt was in my top tier of favorites last season, and I hope he gets something going one of these days. … .He probably won’t be going country, though, which seems to be the one genre that they — correctly, I guess — *really* believe that they can sell …. That said, I can see Michael doing really well at country. Hope it works out for him.

I really thought Matt would get signed before many of those further back.
