In fairness there are many parallels between Matt and John Lennon.
Both started playing from a young age, gigging in small venues, writing their own songs, had a hard time to get their music out there, lots of doors being closed.
We don't know yet whether Pop Manager (

) Simon Cowell will meet Matt's career aspirations, but another Manager (Brian Epstein) teamed up with a Producer (George Martin) for John Lennon and the Beatles and their career aspirations were achieved. This after every Record Label told those "pretentious tw*ts" (OP's words not mine) the Beatles that their style was not required.
Some might say, of course, that Matt is a better singer than John Lennon, who was mediocre at best, but that would be an opinion, of course, and not fact.
Actually, actually you have to start from somewhere and even the greatest started from the belief that they could make it as a singer/songwriter. Thank Goodness the Beatles and the like had that belief otherwise, well.......... we could have more Wagners.
