Wednesday night’s American Idol was as gripping as ever. At the peak of the show, Judge Simon Cowell announced that all five were on equal footing as far as Tuesday’s nights performances were concerned.(The theme this week was Rat Pack songs i.e. songs popularized by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.)

Matt Giruad, who has so far survived due to a wild card entry in the Top 13, and a Judges’ save, found himself in the bottom three again.

Host Ryan Seacrest divided the group into those who were safe and those who were not. Everyone was in for a shock as Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, both of whom have consistently performed well, were declared to be in the bottom three.

Matt, the 23-yr old from Kentucky has never been popular with the voting public. Retaining the element of suspense, Kris was declared safe and Adam and Giraud were left sharing the stage .Finally, 47 million voters decided that Giraud was not Idol-worthy material and he was eliminated from the show.

The show saw a noteworthy performance by soul singer Natalie Cole. One-time "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks took the stage next. The performances were rounded up by a number from actor/singer Jamie Foxx, who had prepared the five contestants for the performance show this week.

With only 4 contestants left on the popular reality show, the competition is bound to hotten up. Keep watching American Idol to find out who’s on the chopping block next week.
