American Idol First: Judges "Save" Contestant Voted From Show
This one will go down in the record books. American Idol Judges have saved contestant Matt Giraud Wednesday night.

Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai joined Matt in the bottom three. Ryan announced Anoop was safe, leaving Lil and Matt in the bottom two. When Ryan asked Simon whether they would consider using the save this week, Simon said they would on one of them, and it would probably be a surprise to that person. "So it's Lil?" Ryan asked. Simon never told which contestant.

"After the nationwide vote of over 36 million," Lil is safe, and Matt is out. Matt sang to stay as the crowd chanted "save." Simon said Matt's performance Wednesday wasn't as good as Tuesday's performance, and he doesn't think Matt has any chance of winning. But, he then tells Matt it's good news.

That means next week, two contestants will have to go home. Simon Cowell announced next week's theme is Disco.
