American Idol Update

This week's episode of American Idol was full of surprises for fans worldwide. In Week six of the Season 8 finals, our 7 finalists came face-to-face with legendary film director, Quentin Tarantino. This award winning film director/actor mentored the finalists in their renditions of songs from the greatest films of all time. Most of the competition pulled off award-winning performances, while others faltered under the pressure. 

Ryan Seacrest, host of American Idol, presented the bottom three to be: Anoop Desai, Matt Giraud, and Lil Rounds. After Anoop was rescued from the bottom three, Matt Giraud was revealed to be the contestant with the lowest number of votes this week. After singing once more, Matt Giraud was surprised when the judges chose to use their 'save' to keep this soulful contestant in the competition. However, tensions rises as we move on to "Disco Week." But this time, 2 contestants will be eliminated next week.

If anyone should be worried about elimination, it's the bottom three contestants. The judges can only use their 'save' once in the competition. Because they used their 'save' for Matt Giraud, they can no longer save any contestant facing elimination. These three superstars must find the right music & a song that will give them the most votes. There is more on the line next week, so our contestants must prepare for the funkiest, disco weeks of all time. 

This week's show also brought in Grammy award winner & former American Idol contestant, Jennifer Hudson, and television/music youth, Miley Cyrus. Both artists put on a smashing performance that night. Most of the appluase granted to Jennifer Hudson, who starred in the hit musical "Dreamgirls." Big things are happening this season & who knows what we can expect during disco week. Until then, break a leg.
