MATT GIRAUD FOLLOWS SEACREST'S LEAD




American Idol finalist Matt Giraud is not planning to give up singing anytime soon, but he will add "host" and "mentor" to his list of accomplishments.

This week Giraud will host "Make the Cut" when it airs on YOBI.tv. This show, like American Idol, provides aspiring singers a platform for showcasing their talent.

The show is being touted at "the first online reality vocal TV show."

Giraud, from Kalamazoo, is currently on a whirlwind national tour with American Idol Kris Allen and other American Idol Top Ten finalists. Giraud, who has said that he can hardly believe that "I was doing this in a hotel lobby a year and a-half ago, on Twitter wrote that the tour is the "most fun I've ever had in my life. THIS is my dream job f'sho!"

Individuals who are interested in competing to appear on the show are asked to submit videos to YOBI.tv by the stated September deadline. Judges will select a group of competitors to be judged by YOBI.tv members. The show's viewers will then watch as the top dozen finalists receive advice and guidance from Giraud in professional recording studios in Michigan -- and the eventual winner of the competition will win the chance to actually "Cut a Record," the show revealed.

"I think anyone's good enough to audition," said Giraud, "even the ones we might think are silly. It's fun. Everyone should get out there and try it."

The competition is open to individuals who are at least 18 years old, a legal resident of the U.S. or of a country with diplomatic relations with the U.S. and not already a 2009-10 Season 2 YOBISing Semifinalist.
