he's a picture of contentment in that second one

Lovely reports and great picture too. Matt does look as happy as he could be. Good to hear of some positive reviews coming out of this. Hope we get more reviews coming out over the next week or so. Interesting to see what other people think of Letters. Seems to me that Matt is winning people over through sheer talent...feel so chuffed for him.

Appears to me the X Factor MF has just about moved on to new topics and doesn't seem interested in Matt threads. Rebecca Ferguson has a thread generally on the music forum - not in the AT part. But the music threads move so fast it must get buried quite often and must be hard to dig up if you want to post on it. I'm happy to post anywhere where it is safe to post without horrible trolling and the need to do battle. This feels like a safe place.

I know what you mean we were on the balcony to the left of the Cradle family and at one time they were standing next to us in our restricted seated section along with SR and Ali it was so unbelieveable ..after they returned to their balcony we watched them in their balcony moving to the music and clapping just as you say proud as punch .....what a fantastic night it was for them and for their whole family. What a night and to think that I nearly did not go I am so glad that |I did.

Hi guys. I'ts taken me over two hours to go through all the posts since I went to bed last night!! Fab reviews from everyone and great pics/vids. Matt just looks unbelievably happy as if he's beginning to realise how much people love his music. Think he's definitely loved up with a certain person too. Been trying to figure out how to vote on the whole appreciation thread move and can't quite make up my mind. Being new to the forum, I'm not so genned up as you guys on how the music forum works. If I still haven't figured it out by Friday, leave me a note so I don't get left behind!!!

SAM Crakin piccies hon Thank you for sharing

BB Yes, well, just needed to ask on Utube re Letters - unfortunately she hasnt got it. I do hope it turns up tho.

You don't have to vote, there are some of us who aren't

[quote=wkdstepmother;53282666]I didn't think I could be any more excited but I am. Worldwide publishing deal OMFG at the risk of patronising people you realise this probably means a US album release and "throughout 2012" almost certainly means the US!!!! I may be wrong but i think only Leona and Alex have worldwide deals


Yes great isn't it WKd I could not believe it when I saw the info.,............ I told OH who is delighted now omg. If this does mean a US album release then I am for one over the moon about it. Squeeee Wkd

Isn't he just. And totally in love in the third one.

Thanks for sharing Sam Love the one of you and Ali

Wow, such amazing reviews - thanks guys. So so jealous..

But how fantastic for Matt to be received so well. THe future's bright,

OMG this same person has put the whole set list up...its like Christmas come early!!!

I am soooooo locking myself in my room to listen to these when I get home

liz hi and buzzing that I am I have become even more so with this news concerning the worldwide publishing deal had made me go all of a twitter as they used to say. I am so proud of Matt as you know. Squeeeeee

With regards to the suggestion of popping over to the Music thread .....I totally agree with you and I am sure Matt would to they have given him a break just all the things he needed to achieve his aim. I think, personally, this is a thread that should encourage the others know that their contestants could achieve just the same. Well almost, there will never be another Matt.
