'Idol' to the Rescue!

April 16, 2009 | American Idol

The top 7 remains the top 7! Matt Giraud received the lowest amount of votes for his performance of "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" on Tuesday's show, but he's still in the game!

Entertainers last night included Miley Cyrus, who delivered a wailing performance in a sparkly gown, and former Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson in a pre-taped number from her debut album.

Giraud, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, was earlier bailed out by the judges' wild-card choice in the semifinals, and last night he received some more help from the fierce foursome as the recipient of the first-ever "Judges' Save."

The 23-year-old will remain in the competition -- but two singers will be eliminated on the April 22 show. Accompanying Matt in the bottom three were Anoop and Lil.

And, word has it that they'll be returning to the "all judges speak" format in next week's "Disco Show."

I’m just wondering when Simon said he see one possible who could be saved was he talking about Matt all along? Hmmm! which means he would have never considered saving Lil Round under any condition. Simon just don’t seem to understand. Not all singers are made to be song writers. Just like not all actors are made to be writers. Slow down Simon. Give those non-pro singers a break.

The judges flushed the Save away on Matt. What if a potential winner, like Adam or Allison, needs it next week? And they didn’t use it on Alexis, who really needed it not only to stay in the competition, but to make the tour. I just hope that Simon’s logic that disco week will do Matt in anyway will be correct.
