Timeline
Matthew Scott "Matt" Giraud (born May 11, 1985) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and the fifth place finalist of the eighth season of the reality television series American Idol.
He was the first recipient of the "judge' save", wherein the judges veto a contestant's elimination.
Giraud was born in Dearborn, Michigan, but was raised in Ypsilanti and graduated from Lincoln High School in 2003.
He is the son of Daniel Giraud and Kami Zoltanski, and has a sister, April.
He started as a drummer, playing and singing in church in Ypsilanti.
Giraud played at clubs in Kalamazoo, where he also graduated from Western Michigan University.
At the university, he was a part of the vocal jazz program, Gold Company.
Giraud auditioned for the eighth season of American Idol in Louisville, Kentucky.
He was considered a judges' favorite in Hollywood, with Randy Jackson naming him among his "top 5" early favorites.
During Hollywood week, he performed "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5 as part of a group called "White Chocolate", along with fellow finalist, and future season 8 winner, Kris Allen.
He did not make the finals initially, but was brought back for the Wild Card show.
The judges unanimously lauded his performance of "Who's Lovin' You" by The Miracles (also made famous by The Jackson 5) and he became a part of the Top 13 (along with Anoop Desai, Megan Joy, and Jasmine Murray).
Giraud released an album called Perspective in 2003 and another in 2006 called Mind, Body and Soul.
Giraud was also the first and only recipient of the new judges' save for his season on April 15, 2009.
After his Top 13 performance of "Human Nature", Kara DioGuardi remarked "I hope we see you for many more weeks."
On Top 11 night, he performed "So Small", provoking Simon Cowell to state "I don't think you've had enough credit in this competition", and compare him to Michael Bublé.
On the night of the Top 8, Giraud sang "Part-Time Lover".
Paula Abdul kept her compliments short (due to time constraints), simply saying "Two words: Standing O".
The next week, however, Giraud received poor reviews from Jackson and DioGuardi.
The following night, the results revealed that he received the lowest number of votes.
However, for the first time in American Idol history, the judges' save was invoked and Giraud was spared elimination when the judges utilized Season 8's new twist.
The consequence of this, for all of the contestants, was a double elimination after the second Top 7 night.
On that night, Giraud performed "Stayin' Alive" and received mixed reviews.
Nevertheless, he survived the vote that week and even avoided placing in the Bottom 3.
He was eliminated on April 29, 2009 and finished in fifth place.
In interviews after his elimination, Giraud says that he believed the "'Idol' judges' save wasn't a waste".
It was also mentioned that Lady Gaga had told Matt she was sad to see him leave the show after being eliminated.
Giraud appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Today show on April 30, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Access Hollywood on May 4, and on Live with Regis and Kelly on May 6.
On May 25, 2009, during a Larry King Live special featuring the Idol contestants who had finished in the top 10 that season, Giraud was named the "class clown" and the biggest flirt in the group.
Giraud performed with the rest of the eighth season contestants in American Idol Live Tour, running from July until September.
Included in his set of songs were "Hard to Handle" by Otis Redding, "Georgia on My Mind" by Ray Charles, and "You Found Me" by The Fray.
On March 11, 2010, on the American Idol "Results Show", Giraud performed "Tell Her About It" by Billy Joel with Scott MacIntyre.
Giraud's first solo tour started at January 29, 2010 at the Forest Hills Fine Arts Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
On March 11, 2010, on the American Idol "Results Show", Giraud performed "Tell Her About It" by Billy Joel with Scott MacIntyre.
