Save, and a beauty!<\/p>\n

For the first time this season, \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d showcased some serious drama as teenage powerhouse and season frontrunner Jessica Sanchez was revealed as this week\u2019s low vote-getter after a superb performance Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The drama was short-lived however, as Jessica was no more than a few bars into her \u201csing for your life\u201d song before Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler hopped on stage, yanked the microphone from her hand mid-word and informed her of what fans across the country must have assumed \u2014 they were saving her.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It has become standard \u201cIdol\u201d procedure of late that the judges are given an ace in the hole each season, one save they can use to keep a worthy contestant in the competition despite their receiving the lowest number of America\u2019s votes.<\/p>\n

After blowing the judges away week after week and launching herself to what appeared to be the near-top of the \u201cIdol\u201d heap, Jessica was an obvious choice for the save.<\/p>\n

Following the judges announcement, a visibly shaken Jessica returned to her smiling \u201cIdol\u201d cohort, likely unable to fully process what had just occurred. Perhaps in her dressing room she will realize how close she came to being the centerpiece of arguably the largest upset in \u201cIdol\u201d history.<\/p>\n

Also in the bottom three were Joshua Ledet \u2014 also a surprise \u2014 as well as Kinnelon native Elise Testone, who gave a mediocre performance Wednesday night.
\nThe judges were outraged by the bottom three and urged, as Randy put it, to \u201cvote for the best\u201d every single week.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Notes:
\n\u2022 With the save out of equation, next week should be full of suspense as well since whoever gets the ax from voter nation goes home no questions asked.<\/p>\n

\u2022 After being sandbagged by judges for the last few weeks, Hollie Cavanagh climbed out of the bottom three abyss, something I didn\u2019t think she would be able to do. Good for her.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The girls apparently still love Phillip Phillips, despite his recent stagnation.<\/p>\n

But this is just my rambling. What did you think? Comment below.<\/p>\n
