Matt Giraud Update – Life Since American Idol

American Idol season 8 finalist, Matt Giraud, was interviewed earlier this week about his experience since appearing on the show. 

He said that he’s been enjoying a little time off since the grueling 52-date Idols Live! tour ended.  He said it was great being able to actually meet the Idol fans since he was used to performing and going straight home when he was on the show.  I can imagine that it was fun to see how people were truly reacting to them in real life!

Matt talked about his upcoming show, Make the Cut, which is a Michigan-based online singing competition.  He was asked to be a mentor and a judge which he said is like being on the other side of his Idol experience.  Of course, on a far smaller scale…

He talked about his writing and said that we can expect some bluesy music in the future.
