Still Top 7: Matt Giraud stays on American Idol

Posted: 15 Apr 2009 08:48 PM PDT

[via yahoo] Matt Giraud was saved by the judges in tonight's "American Idol." Do you agree with the judges' decision to let Matt Giraud stay?

The 23-year-old piano player from Kalamazoo, Mich., who crooned Bryan Adam's "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" from "Don Juan DeMarco" for his movie-themed performance Tuesday, received the fewest number of viewer votes Wednesday on the Fox singing competition. However, the judges decided to use their one-time power to save him from elimination.

Joining Giraud as the bottom three vote-getters this week were 24-year-old mother of three Lil Rounds from Memphis, Tenn., and 22-year-old college student Anoop Desai from Chapel Hill, N.C.

Because Giraud was rescued this week, two finalists will be sent packing following next week's disco-themed performances.

American Idol Top 7 results -- live blogging

Posted: 15 Apr 2009 07:00 PM PDT

Who is eliminated in the American Idol Top 7? The answer will come in less than an hour when the elimination show begins.

This site will have a live blogging for all the American Idol addicts who cannot wait for later news. Check back in a while as this post will be updated for the American Idol results.

My prediction for the bottom three is here.
***
American Idol Elimination starts now!

Group performance. Group sang "Maniac".

Commercial break.

Idol is back. Zach Efron is in the studio.

Allison Iraheta is called. She is safe. Adam Lambert is next and he is also safe. Anoop Desai is called and he is in the bottom 3 (again).

Commercial break.

Guest performance from Idol Jennifer Hudson. She sings "If This is Love".

Commercial break.

Kris Allen is called. Lil Rounds is called too. Kris Allen is safe. Lil Rounds joins Anoop in the bottom 3.

Matt Giraud and Danny Gokey are called. Danny Gokey is safe.

Bottom 3 tonight:
Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds, and Matt Giraud (as I predicted)

Anoop Desai is safe.

Commercial break.

Miley Cyrus graces the Idol stage. She's wearing a gown and headbanging! No offense, but if Miley will join the Idol, she'd be the first to be eliminated.

Commercial break.

Over 36 million votes tonight. Lil Rounds is safe! Matt Giraud sings for his life!

The audience are shouting "safe". Simon Cowell says "it's good news". The judges give Matt Giraud another week. Hahaha.

Simon announces that next week two idols will be eliminated.

That's it for tonight's live blogging. Thanks for joining me. Check out my other posts.
