I don't believe that! People will be on here commenting on it track by track (well, maybe just me).


Party games Oh we really are short on decent smilies here. Where's the party hat one, or the birthday cake?




Me too - but I'll live in blind hope for now

Thanks tilly I'll sleep better now I know...night:yawn::yawn:

I'm sure I will be too Spiral, if they arrive in the morning we'll have had all day to do the silent reverie bit god I really can't wait! Those acoustic tracks - eeek

ETA sorry I think it's UK Chart talk or something like that. Anyway the thread will be called "Sunday chart predictions"

Great to see Matt is up to no8 on Irish iTunes

As a seriously long time lurker (BOMT week if I recall) please do not give up on the fun of this thread. You have made me laugh, in the best possible way, so many times in the last year & should be so very proud of your loyalty; it is amongst the best there is.

PS It is ages since I had a Fisherman's Friend but you sure do know how to wet the pallet...

PPS Amazon are sooooo blooming slow, I am thinking of changing my order to someone who knows the meaning of urgency

Hi and welcome, don't lurk come and join us,anyone who loves Matt is OK by us.... you sound like you'd fit right in!

Hello!! Hello! Hello! Welcome . Lovely to see you here .

Welcome chooks, I was just going to bed when I saw your post, so glad you've decided to join. How have you kept away for so long? I think the thread will be back on track in a couple of days, we just all care so much about him and his career it gets a bit overwhelming at times

And you're not wrong about Amazon...talk about useless

WELCOME

Well my post never arrives very early, but I'll be on the watch for it. Sadly I ordered from Amazon, so I may be here trying to glean info from those who ordered from quicker suppliers.


Hello Chooks fancy all this worry drawing you out of the woodwork. Hopefully you'll join in more now you've delurked. Maybe we Amazonians could have a second party when our albums arrive. I don't want to risk moving my order now, but maybe I'm being rashly cautious

Anyway, goodnight peeps. Need to sleep:sleep:

You guys always seemed to be having such fun that I did not want to interrupt, but there is so much brow beating today

I absolutely agree with the comments re RFYL ( I was on holiday but seriously winced if I am honest). I remember listening to Letters previews, seeing your comments & screeming at my laptop "wait till they get to BOABH"

My kids really love Amazing (as do I) but I would love to hear a live version of For You.

I believe my Amazon package is due some time tomorrow, but I may be switching supplier for the goodies next week

Whoops forgot to say, thank you for your warm welcome

Welcome to the Matt AT You've been lurking for a long time Its never too late to join us and glad you finally decided to de-lurk

Aw, a week ago It must be about this time I was getting a hug from him All that excitement seems ages ago now, can't wait for more (hopefully it'll happen).

So jel of Pie Can't wait to hear all about it.


My main concern is the view that he's a flop if he doesn't make no.1 - 1) Because he's an XF winner 2) because Cher and 1D reached no.1. I know it really shouldn't be the case and the other two are comptlely different but that is a general view that's out there and it's hard to beat once people get that in their heads. Matt isn't gonna give up quickly and I'm sure his people won't either so I'm still hoping for the best.


Aw, that must have been so frustrating! Just gonna go and listen now.

Lol at the last line

just popping in before bed.saw Matt on XF and he was wonderful (esp doing a bit of the second verse in Icelandic for his fans there what a sweetheart) i think we analyse it all a bit too much sometimes and start fretting.Matt was fine- i believe him when he said he enjoyed it. why wouldn't he? all those millions of viewers? in the Independent interview he manages to say both that winning the show brings a lot of unwanted baggage but at the end also gets a thank you in to SC and acknowledges what XF has made possible. which it has.
He coped so well during the series being himself and outspoken without losing the likeable bloke image.Its the same now and I don't mean that it's any kind of act - Matt is a genuinely good guy.and he isn't a kid, he's bright and he has the likeability factor which coupled with his talent means it's all going to be fine. And he's in this for the long haul not a pop sprint.

So I'm happy. As for this thread - it's so full of info, all the links and photos. thanks everyone - i couldn't be without it. but it can take over if I'm not careful (just keeping up takes me a few hours) so will carry on dropping by only occasionally so don't miss all the fun.



Oh and amidst all this shock horror at the XF twist - which I agree seemed brutal on the night - had forgotten that last year was the first time judges had 4 acts each. because of the wildcards. its only ever been 3 each before. Cos i only really watched last year for the first time, i'd forgotten that.

"My rider just consists of Peroni and Haribo. I want to get drunk and eat sweets before I play."

this is why I love him

I never understood the mentality of wanting to get drunk before going on stage, surely you want to have a clear head? Although he's never seemed to be drunk on stage, maybe just a bit to take away the nerves.

From a bit of Twitter nosing I have gathered it's Sarah's birthday today (yesterday, ooh it's late ), and Matt had to work I hope they got some time together.

Oh excellent, thanks toasted, I was just going on ITV player to watch it.

That's so funny! Good luck with whatever methods you chose OOTP!

did you see the text runner at the bottom of the screen when Matt was being introduced? "Form an orderly queue ladies" they must have been reading here
