Names: Sarah and Julia
Location: South of Buffalo, New York
Short Bio: Sara (left) is 16, Julia (right) is 15. We both live in New York, south of Buffalo. We went to two American Idols Live tour shows this year, (Rochester and Cleveland) and we also went to the aftershow meet and greet in Syracuse.

On becoming a Matt Giraud fan: Our story begins in Cleveland. We got to the barricades super early before the show, around 11:30. Matt was the first to come out, but he got to us last, as he started on the other side. Being Adam fans originally, we were all decked out in glitter and t-shirts. He took one look at us and laughed, saying “Ah, Adam fans. Well, I’ll convert you tonight!” He was extremely nice and took a picture with each of us. But when Julia went to take Sara’s picture, the camera turned off. Julia claimed it wasn’t her that did it, Sara was worried that he wouldn’t have enough time, but he stayed and even made a joke about it, “Ah, the old camera turned off by itself trick. Works every time!” Julia’s mom commented that he kind of looked like our big brother, which we thought was cool.

During the show we really were ‘converted’ and we screamed during his set that we loved him! After the show he came out and saw us, saying “Ah, it’s you guys!” We told him he had converted us and he said, “I did?! High five!” So we each high fived him. We asked him if he had heard us yell that we loved him, and he said ” That was you?! Ah, you guys are the best.” Then he came back around, and we reached out to give him a hug. He seemed flattered and said (in a cute voice) “Aw, I get a hug? Cause I converted youu!” We asked if he would remember us, and he said yes, and told us to ‘just wear those shirts.’ We were super excited that we had not only met him, but actually had a conversation with him.

When we went to Syracuse, we hoped he would remember us, and he did! We reminded him that he had converted us, and we were wearing the shirts, and he recognized us! He signed Sara’s picture of them, and when she said she loved him, he replied “Thanks baby.” Julia asked him to give us a shout out (she was filming) and he said “Thanks for being converted, I’ll love you forever.”  The video can be seen here:

On #SignMattGiraud: Matt Giraud is a wonderful, kind, hilarious person who deserves to be signed. Not only is he an outstanding singer with a great voice, he truly enjoys meeting and interacting with his fans, and was by far the nicest idol that we met. He has the ability to convert people into fans of his with his awesome talent. He blew people all over the country away with his stunning vocals, and he plays the piano like it’s his job. I could think of a million reasons why he SHOULD be signed, and absolutely none for why he shouldn’t. So get on it, Music Industry! Do your job!
