As we previously reported, the Top 7 contestants all performed well during the Tuesday live performance show. No one stood out as being the "worst" performer and deserving to depart during last night's results show. So, here's what happened. America's choices for bottom three this week were (by no surprise) Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud. According to the judges (and me), the "right" three performers were in the bottom three this week.
Ryan Seacrest narrowed it down from three to two, by sending Anoop "back to the couch" for another chance to perform next week (and torture us with his cocky attitude). We were then left with Lil and Matt in the bottom two. It was quite obvious that Lil would be going home last night.
But in an odd turn of event, Lil was NOT the one with the lowest number of votes. It was actually Matt.
Matt was given another chance to perform Bryan Adams "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman", which he butchered this time around, and see if he would be saved by the judges. It turned out to be his worst performance ever.
As he was singing for the "SAVE" vote, the judges made the decision to keep him on for one more week, therefore no one was eliminated this week. This is great news for Matt, but horrible news for everyone else. Because next week, two contestants will be eliminated and no one can save them.
It was a bad choice for the judges to use the SAVE vote on Matt, as they should have kept it one more week in case one of the front runners (Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey or Allison Iraheta) would "mistakenly" be in the bottom three and eliminated by America's lack of votes.
Next week the Top 7 (again) will be performing to Disco classics. This may turn out to be a great week for underdogs like Lil, but what about all of the others? Well, we will have to tune into the live performance show on Tuesday at 8:00 pm (ET) on FOX to hear them belt out some disco hits (or possibly misses).
