The Save

Saving Matt Giraud on American Idol seemed like an empty gesture to me. There seems to be little danger of him going on to win. He will likely be eliminated again sooner rather than later. It seemed like they just wanted to use the save, maybe out of popular demand for a feel good moment.

He got the lowest number of votes fair and square, let him go home. But rules are rules and if they wanted to save him, well, OK. Big deal.

In other American Idol news, I downloaded the Adam Lambert track from iTunes, "Born To Be Wild," and it's good ... but not as good as the live performance. Not quite as wild. And wild is good.
