Last week’s elimination round has been the critical moment for all the finalists placing Sam Woolf, C.J. Harris and Malaya Watson at the Bottom 3 last week.
Sam Woolf was supposed to be voted off on the competition but the American Idol judges; Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr used their “save” to help him advance on the competition.
