Now that the judges have used their save, they’ll have no chance to save real frontrunners like Danny or Adam. Wouldn’t they be upset if a frontrunner went home next week because they used their save prematurely?

The judges made the right choice!! I love Matt. He is adorable to look at and is so creative. His performance last night was great and the week before he was AMAZING. I’d love to see him sing a Timberlake song…. YEAH Matt!!!

I was disappointed that the judges used the save on Matt. I thought the purpose of the save was for a “shocking” elimination. Was Matt’s elimination really a shock to anyone? His performance clearly wasn’t one of the best of the night, and I personally find him boring most of the time.

I really don’t like the judges’ save rule. I think it’s every contestant’s responsibility to get America to vote for them. If Matt didn’t do that successfully he deserves to be eliminated. It’s not fair to the other contestants that he might outlast them when they did their job this week and inspired America to pick up the phone.

It was a surprise call for me because Matt really was bad last night and worse tonight, the song was just a bad choice,(maybe he is having voice problems? I don’t remember him struggling with those higher notes like that before…) Next week though, I could see Matt doing the Bee Gees “Stayin Alive” and Lil doing a Donna Summers number. lol

I am glad, too, that Matt was saved. He has done pretty well in the past and deserved another chance. I just hate the idea of 2 going home, and I couldn’t help of think, Phil, of when you and Chris Richardson were eliminated the same night.

Bad call. The women judges always want to save everyone lol. Simon was right…this guy has 0% chance of winning this season. He should have said his goodbyes tonight. No need to prolong the inevitable.

I am really glad the judges used their save on Matt. I think he is talented and one of the few artists on the show. I do agree he has to have a great performance next week to stay in the competition. I could see Matt singing Barry White’s Can’t Get Enough of Your Love.
