I tivoed this episode of George Lopez’s show tonight because I’d seen that Matt Morris was performing. I’d heard about him a couple of months before his now infamous performance with Justin Timberlake on the Haiti marathon on the Leonard Cohen song “Hallelujah”, and hadn’t had the chance to properly acquaint myself with his music.

Ever since then though, his star has shot to fame. Some people were saying that Justin shouldn’t have used that platform to launch Matt (who is his new artist and is signed to his Tennman Tunes label along with Esmee Denters), but why not? Dude has an amazing voice! Haiti benefited from that duet surely because people have been talking about it ever since!

Anyway, this performance was pretty darn good! I mean, he sounds great! If anything, I think his nerves showed through at times, but I can only imagine what this sounds like in a more controlled environment. Him in an intimate venue with a crazy band is probably the hottest ticket around right now. His voice just leaped and whizzed around these notes, it was pretty fly for a white guy. For real! The tone of his voice seems pretty effortless.

What ya’ll think? Bandwagon jumper or not, I’m pretty sold.
