something weird about matt last night

his eyes always looked bloodshot ... could be on the lash (or worse) a bit too much

im not suggesting he was but ive seen mates looking and acting like that after a night on the peruvian marching powder

he couldnt do any eye contact with the viewer and appeared to stagger as he walked off after the 2nd song

i think its unlikely matt got banjaxed the night b4 the semi having been in bed all week

Could I suggest that you imagine you have flu, but you have to get to an important meeting to give a presentation? Take some Day Nurse, a few Anadin and some cough medicine and then look in the mirror.

To even get up and stage and then to do a passable impression of a proper singer makes Matt's performance last night nearly the 'Performance of the Series' in my view.

notorious for a touch of skunk

I think he was just genuinly quite ill as showed with his much below par performances.  A week to get better though for the final.

the only thing that matters is that he is back to his normal self next week.

a week to recover should see him right. last night id say he was on medication

Lou...what song do you think he should sing in the final ?

my choice would be Bruno Mars  " just the way you are "

its a positive uplifting feel good tune..

if he nails it he's home and dry..

i can smell the money already

He'll probably get to sing two or three songs and yours is a very good choice yes that he did very well weeks ago.  I think myself though that 'First Time Ever I Saw your Face' was drop dead brilliant though and went a long way to getting him this far when he did it at an early audition so i hope that's one of his choices.  Think he could sing just about anything though as he is real quality.

he is taking naughty stuff

Should do 'Don't Look Back In Anger'

If he had real flu then he wouldn't even have the ability to stand up. He was only looking for the sympathy vote to get an easy ride to the final.

roger

yes a good choice possibly there for Matt.
