Matt Giraud

It was the vote out night at American Idol. And instead of sending one home, one of the top 7 contestants were saved. The viewers decided that Matt Giraud was not meritorious enough for the show and gave him lowest number of votes. But American Idol sparked another surprise by giving him a second chance by the four “Idol” judges on Wednesday night.

The “good news” was announced by Simon Cowell. He hesitantly declared that the 23 year old piano player was saved by the voting power of the 4 judges. As Cowell, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi gave Giraud the good news, the American Idol finalist stood up to perform Bryan Adams’ 1995 hit, “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman“. The viewers would see him for another week now.

Although this was a grand news for Matt Giraud, but Cowell also warned that, “two people will be going home next week“. When this new rule was brought into the show, it was already announced then that this new twist will not only change the show but also make it a lot difficult. The new rule allowed the judges to use their save a contestant, who have been voted out by the audience, by using their veto power. But the judges can use this power only once and as long as there are five or more contestants. The judges had to use their veto power by coming week.

One of the primary highlight of American Idol’s last episode was the return of former AI contestant turned Oscar winner actor Jennifer Hudson. Although miss Hudson did not win the American Idol title, yet she went on to prove her talent as one of the most successful contestants to come out of the FOX reality series.
