Idol: Sarver Odd Man Out In Record-Setting Week
While the judges praised his Wednesday performance of Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On (Randy Jackson said he thought challenger for the top spot, while Simon Cowell praised his song selection), Giraud's low-vote total from a record-setting 36 million viewers put his fate on the show in jeopardy.
