After the American Idol results tonight, will we end up with a Top 7 finalists or will the judges finally use their save? We think American Idol 2014 judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr., and Keith Urban actually have a good reason to give up the save tonight if the person who ends up in the bottom is CJ Harris. If it isn’t him, however, there are only a couple of other finalists we think merit another chance.
In our American Idol recap last night, we noted that some viewers did not get to see CJ Harris perform due to a FOX news interruption about the tragic Fort Hood shootings. While we actually think CJ Harris probably should have been the contestant who went home on American Idol 2014 this week. Now, however, we don’t think it would be fair if he did.
We had at least 20 people in our Live Chat last night who didn’t get to see more than a few notes of CJ’s performance. How many other members of the audience on the East Coast had the same issue? Whether or not any of them might have been swayed to vote to keep CJ by his song last night, we’ll never know. To be truly fair though, we think he should not be sent home if he does end up with the least number of votes.
As for the rest of the finalists, we don’t know if we would want the American Idol 2014 judges to use their save unless the person in last place was shockingly Caleb Johnson, Jena Irene Ascuitto, or Alex Preston. We think all three of them should go to the Top 5 at least. Honestly though, we don’t think any of them will end up on the bottom anyway.
Our readers also LOVE Malaya Watson, who ended up the fop favorite in our poll from last night, so we’d be very surprised if she ended up in danger… and the judges would totally save her if she was and probably should. She’s shown a lot of growth and has the potential to get even better as we go toward the finale.
So that pretty much leaves Jessica Meuse, Sam Woolf, and Dexter Roberts as the potential one who got voted off American Idol tonight. Of the three, we’d probably only kind of want the judges to save Jessica. (Don’t hate us Dexter and Sam fans!) We are intrigued to see what Jessica will do next, but we just feel like Dexter and Sam keep giving us the same thing every single week, even if they are more consistent than Jess overall.
So who got voted off American Idol 2014 this week and will they be saved by the judges? Tune in for our live American Idol recap of the elimination results show below and find out with us!

And here we go! We start off with a bit from mentor Randy Jackson about how all the Top 8 performances were strong and it’s going to be a tough results show tonight.
Host Ryan Seacrest takes the stage to a screaming crowd in Hollywood. He tells us Chris Daughtry is performing tonight and we could possibly see some drama because the American Idol judges’ save is still in play. Then it’s on to introducing those judges as Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick Jr. take the stage. The audience is SO loud that Ryan can’t talk for a few moments.
Next up we have the ‘Idol dinnertime download’ with all the finalists sitting around reviewing their performances and critiques around the table. Caleb thought it was one of the best show’s they’ve done. They gab a bit and Jena Irene says she loves everyone and now it’s time for the first results!
The first person moving on in the competition to next week is Dexter Roberts! Wow, all the polls and predictions were really showing him in the bottom three this week. The next person to get good news tonight is… Jena Irene! We thought she would end up safe this evening, so no surprise with that one.
And now we have commercials… followed by a Ford commercial video with the American Idol contestants telling stories about driving in their cars. At least it isn’t a cheesy singing Ford commercial like they’ve done before.
Then it’s on to the fabulous Chris Daughtry with his most excellent song “Waiting For Superman” — can you tell we love the Daughtry? Chris will be on tour all summer with the Goo Goo Dolls. We have to go look that up… and here are the tour dates if you’re interested!
Back from another commecial break and the next person to continue their run in the competition is… no shocker here… Caleb Johnson. Also moving on will be… Jessica Meuse!
So we’ve got Sam, Malaya, Alex, CJ… the next person going on to next week is… Alex Preston!
That means the bottom three this week are CJ, Malaya, and Sam.
Another commercial, and back again to find out the person in danger of elimination tonight is… Sam Woolf! Wow, we really thought it would be CJ. Guess the judges won’t have to worry about saving him just because some people couldn’t hear his performance last night.
Now Sam will have to perform for the save tonight. He’s doing “Babylon” by David Gray. Will the judges give it to him? The screams to save Sam after his performance are deafening.
The American Idol judges finally have decided and the vote is unanimous… they are… going to use the save!
Sam Woolf was voted off by America but saved by the judges tonight. No one is going home!
