Matt Corby Laughs In The Face Of Your Expensive Record Deal!
Young Matt Corby – remember him? – who was tipped to be the sure-shot victor of Australian Idol ‘07 (despite, you know, not actually being the victor) evidently isn’t too fussed about whether he makes it or not (despite, you know, not actually going back to school in favour of a career in the industry).
It seems that Sony BMG offered him a shiny record deal – despite (last time we’ll say that, promise) the word that only winner Natalie Gauci would be signed – but Goldilocks Matt has decided he doesn’t want it after all.
The Idol runner-up was reportedly gloating about rejecting an offer from Sony BMG because he wanted to be his own man, even though he is still a teenager and the label has said it wants to give him time to grow.“I’m still a young guy and I don’t want to be packaged. I’m just cruising along and playing music, if it all fails I’ll go back to doing my HSC or become a garbage man,” he said.
We’re pegging our bets on “if it all fails I’ll become a garbage man” being the new “just making the music I love, if anyone else likes it, that’s just a bonus”.
See, Matt, it’s meant to be! You’re as big a wanker as any of these other pretenders! Take the record deal! TAKE IT!!

This is such a “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” situation. Last month, Matt was on the verge of signing with SONY. At that time, he was ridiculed for “selling out”. The detracters were asking: after telling everyone he wanted to go indie, why would he would sign with SONY? As it eventuated, the SONY deal fell through. So, let’s now criticise him for being a spoilt brat who could have had a SONY contract, but chose to go indie.
Hypocritical much?
Heavens Clem, why so upset? Can’t stand to see someone with the guts to turn down fame and fortune to do what makes them happy? This kid should be held up as a role model for all of us.
What does it take to get through to people?
Not everyone is the same!
Matt should not only be congratulated for doing something that makes him happy, but for also not conforming to other people’s ideals.
First of all you were complaining about him signing with Sony, and now its not good enough that he isn’t?
A bit hypocritical.
Also, calling him every name under the sun is extremely obnoxious and rude. Find something else to do. Maybe focus on the positives, and you will get positive feedback.
I think this is complete bull.
But I mostly I feel sorry for the writer – I would much prefer to be 17 and ‘free as a bird” than be a cranky old journalist with a crap job and nothing nice to say!
Matthew, please attend to my BINS – they’re full of Gauch cd’s…
I’d rather listen to Matt’s independent EP than read your pathetic blogs any day.
I agree with LALALA!
The only wanker here is this journo! First, he gets slammed for taking a record deal with sony. Now, hes getting slammed because he DIDNT take it. What is with you people? Guessing this guy has nothing better to do with his time then bag out 17 year olds trying to make a living. He’s only a kid, leave him alone!
What a load of crap
and very hypocritical…you picked on him for ’signing’ with them in the first place, now he’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t
So what if the kid chose to go indie?He doesn’t have to go on a a large label to be succesful…Just look at the John Butler Trio for example
Leave the kid alone, an indie record would be much better than Sony’s pop crap they would have tried to make him release
Journalists have no life.
The end.
Wow… I’ve never seen such a spirited defence of a virtual nobody by (literally) virtual nobodies.
You really annoyed that Year 8 class, Ms. Bastow – I’d stay away from Boost Juice for a while, just in case they’re still angry.
I have a very tasty humble pie baking just for you. I think it will be ready to come out of the over fairly soon, and I will enjoying watching you eat every last bite when Matt Corby proves that he can rise above these vicious attacks and be successful despite people like you!
Surely the readers (who left such well informed and insightful contributions) would know the position any intelligent person would have on an idol contestant (past/present): They have no future in music.
Perhaps hillsong parishioners are just as paranoid as all those scientology nutters.
Don’t let the god-squad get you down Clem!
Wow – you must be excited that you can find fault and critisism in someone like Matt.
I mean having talent, youth and the ability to make a decision that isn’t based on greed is really someone who DESERVES to be called wanker!
I think it might be you who is the wanker.
You have your little internet site, while people with REAL tallent are out there doing their thing. I would be bitter too if I were you!
Clem Bastow is a jelus h8r!!!!!11111!!!!!! etc
Well I’m really disappointed about that. I left a space in my alphabetized cd collection for his rumored upcoming release; “Matt Corby presents The Songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber.”
What a gaylord. He’ll be selling his teeth on eBay in 5 years.
I think I know who I’d rather be.
A journalist that bags out people for a living, or a 17 year old who is just starting out his music career.
The key words there being “17 year old”. Matt has probably achieved more in his 17 years than you have, or ever will, in your life!
Big fat LOLZ. Hell hath no fury like Matt Corby fan scorned, etc.
matt take ti the recording track matt plase your so hot wear so upseet take the recording

That pie must be getting a bit on the nose.
Just we are growing old waiting for Matt to make his debut outside idol.
