Matt Giraud performs "My Funny Valentine" on (FOX/Frank Micelotta)
Few weeks after the judges saved him from elimination, American Idol finalist Matt Giraud finally said goodbye Wednesday night (Thursday, Philippine time).
Matt who sang “My Funny Valentine” during the performance night got mixed reviews from the judges. Randy Jackson described the performance to be “pitchy.” Kara DioGuardi felt that Matt isn’t emotionally committed to the song. But, Paula Abdul loved the performance. Meanwhile, Simon Cowell said that the performance was absolutely brilliant.
Forty-seven million votes were cast but Giraud got the lowest. What shocked the audience is that Adam Lambert was in the bottom two with Matt, which I think is a wake up call for his fans not to be complacent but to vote every week even how great his performance is.
Natalie Cole performed on the results show with American Idol past winner Taylor Hicks. This week’s mentor, Jamie Foxx also performed his new song “Blame It”
