American Idol: Top 10 Results Show

For frak's sake, why was Matt Giraud in the Bottom Three?

America often confounds me, and tonight was no different. While Michael Sarver and Scott MacIntyre (with Michael rightfully sent packing) rounded out the Bottom Three correctly, Matt's addition just made no sense. But alas... 'Tis the beauty of American Idol.

Tonight's Results Show included a couple of hilarious moments: the judges taking so long in deciding on their save (Michael may have been "singing for his life", but it was still bad) and the blatant use of a pre-recorder for the Idols' Medley (they sounded good, but many of their mouths just didn't keep up). Heh.

Randoms...

  • Ruben, aka The Velvet Teddy Bear, sounded better than he has in years. He's lost a little weight too. Now, if someone would just quit running him through the sprinkler before his performances...
  • Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone sounded kind of hot together. It worked.
  • Stevie Wonder is still the Master. As Michael said, "And I have to sing after Stevie -- oh, crap!" Truer words never spoken.
Michael, you seemed like a genuinely nice and good guy, but sayonara.

Thoughts?

I was highly miffed Matt was in the bottom 3. My mother was livid - she had voted for him. Michael deserved to go, though I thought it was disrespectful of the judges to act as though they were considering saving him. You know they had no intention of doing it.

I really wished Megan would've gone home or at least been in the bottom 3.

Ruben is like a human sauna.

I think that Megan deserved the Bottom 3, but I'm not ready for her to go home yet. She's so unique, she adds a lot of flavor to the show.

And yeah, I don't think that the judges ever had any intention of using the save -- it's reserved for Adam, Danny, Lil, Matt (now), and maybe Allison. Michael knew that he was going home, and I think that he had accepted that, but giving him that little glimmer of hope was rather cruel. Eh, what do you expect?
