Girard Saved by Idol Judges

The judges of American Idol finally invoked the new Judges’ Save rule and spared Matt Giraud from elimination on the show Wednesday night. Though Simon seemed to be against the decision, Paula and Kara convinced the Lord of Darkness to go along with them. “I don’t see that you have really any chance of winning,” Simon flatly observed in issuing the ruling. Joining Matt in the bottom three were perpetual bottom dwellers Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai. Next week, which will feature disco music, two contestants must be eliminated. (Photo: WENN)
