Giraud voted out but saved by judges

So Giraud got the least number of votes but was eventually saved by the judges. I knew that if any one but Rounds was voted off, they would use their save. Rounds is so lucky. She has been bad the last several weeks but she has a strong following that has helped to keep her in the show. She is not in the same class as the rest of the field.

What was also interesting was that Noop Dogg was in the bottom three yet again after giving probably his best performance to date. The thing is that at this point it is becoming a popularity contest. Kris and Gokey had terrible performances but Kris is the cute one and Gokey is guy with the good voice who tragically lost his wife. They have a strong following. Again, Rounds has been terrible but has a decent following. Despite Noop's performance, he was in the bottom three because he doesn't have the same type of following.

The tough part about the save was that two people will be kicked off next week AND the theme is disco. This will be tough. Frankly, I think Noop will REALLY struggle with this one. Disco is more upbeat with dancing and he cannot do that. I expect him to have some problems with that one. Honestly, I think a lot of guys will have trouble with the disco theme. Giraud is a jazzier kind of guy and he seems like he will struggle. I don't see Kris doing well. Red Head has a raspy, rocker type voice so she might have issues. Not sure about Gokey. Frankly, I only see Lambert and Rounds have decent opportunities here. Lambert always puts on a good show and I can see him changing his look and dancing around yelling and exciting the crowd again. Rounds has, yet again, a great opportunity to shine. She could sing songs by Donna Summer or Gloria Gaynor or someone like that that suit her voice/style. She has been given opportunity after opportunity to shine and she has always disappointed. This is another golden opportunity for her and we'll see if she can take advantage of it.

I am not surprised by the results at all. Giraud has been a bit uneven the last few weeks and he did not give a great performance on Wednesday.

Lil is still one of the weaker performers.

A note about Anoop. Last week he was in the bottom two even though he gave a solid performance. He ended up being #7 in the voting. This week he was #5 in the voting. I think he has gained support by being good the last two weeks.

He needs to deliver again next week, but I expect him to be in the top 5. The only person who I think is totally safe until the final two is Adam. After that, a bad performance or two could end it for anyone else.

Should be interesting next week.
