American Idol History is Made
American Idol history was made on Wednesday's, Top 7 results show when the judges chose to use the "save" and send no one home. After 36 million votes, Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds, and Matt Giraud were in the bottom 3. Anoop was sent back to safety first, and Simon said they would consider using the save on one of the two in the bottom, and that person might be surprised. Ultimately, it was Matt Giraud who received the fewest votes and sang Bryan Adams' "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" one last time. After Matt's performance, the judges deliberated as the crowd chanted "save, save." Simon delivered the verdict saying it's "good news" for Matt Giraud, and they used the first "save" in American Idol history.
The save was created this season to give one contestant a second chance, since in almost every season a favorite of America and the judges has been eliminated earlier than expected. The rules of the save were that you can only use it on one contestant and it must be used before the final four. With the save being used on Matt Giraud, no one went home on "Songs from the Cinema" week. As a result, two contestants will be leaving the competition during "Disco Week" on Wednesday. Last year's American Idol runner-up, David Archuleta, will be performing on the Idol stage on Wednesday. Other results night performers include disco icons Harry Wayne "KC" Casey (of KC and the Sunshine Band), Thelma Houston, and Freda Payne who will perform a disco medley.
