Matt’s rollercoaster is over

Considered as the hopeful with the most rollercoaster-like journey ever in the Idol competition, Matt Giraud was finally sent home. After gracing the stage with his rendition of My Funny Valentine on yesterday’s Rat Pack themed night, the four judges were in duets for their criticisms – having Simon Cowell on his side. However, even the praise coming from Cowell didn’t save Giraud this time as America decided to finally send him home.

Good news for Giraud

The coveted save from the four judges has been made history through Matt Giraud. It’s an Idol first since the show began 8 years ago, but this good news has a tricky twist for the coming week because 2 shall go home.

Giraud has been a constant favorite since his audition days, but has been having rough weeks for proclaiming himself as a true-blood rock star rather than what the judges think he is as an artist. Having a vocal ability that is a cross-over between R&B and Jazz, this young lad captivated millions and is surely one threat in this competition
