Do NOT scare us like that again, voters.

While Matt Giraud was rightfully eliminated last night, he somehow found himself standing next to Adam Lambert in the bottom three. We're perplexed and angered by this development.

Anyway, back to Giraud. He left the stage with classy, appreciative words:

"I'll definitely remember being the cat with nine lives up there. It's definitely not the last time you'll see me. I want to thank Kalamazoo and Michigan for supporting me, and the judges for seeing something in me. I love you all, so, I can't wait."
