Unfortunately, Jeremiah Lloyd and Laci Kaye Booth were the two performers in the bottom two after the audience voting was completed.
The judges then chose to use their save, and ended up sending Lloyd home.
Afterwards, Lionel Richie tweeted, "Thank you for sharing your gift with us [Jeremiah Lloyd]. You are unbelievably talented and I admire you in so many ways. Here's to an amazing career ahead of you."

Since we know that Lloyd was the one sent home, that means that Laci Kaye Booth was the one the judges saved.
After it was revealed that Booth was the one staying, her fans began commenting on her Twitter posts, congratulating her on staying on for at least another week.
"Judges made a wise save!" one fan said, while another commented, "Your absolutely gorgeous and loved your performance tonight, so glad the judges saved you!!!"

As far as the Top 4 contestants on the show, one was Laine Hardy, who sang Joe Cocker's "I Don't Need No Doctor."
Hardy also performed Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode."
"Laine killed it both performances. Overall he has the total package to be the American Idol," one fan said on Twitter. "And the shyness actually works for him, because it prevents from doing too much and adds a certain coolness about him."

When the category is Show Stoppers, it's a bold risk to perform an original. But it paid off for @scarypoolparty with his performance of "Poison" #AmericanIdol https://t.co/9GCIzLqMf8

Alejandro Aranda was another Top 4 singer, having belted out an original tune tilted "Poison."
This is always a huge gamble for American Idol contestants, but it paid off for Aranda this time.
He also sang the Jefferson Airplane tune "White Rabbit."

Another big winner of the night was Wade Cota, who wowed the audience with his rendition of Shawn James' "Through the Valley."
He also sang "With a Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Crocker and The Beatles.
"I like most of the singers this year but I hope to see a live Wade Cota show someday," a fan tweeted. "What a fantastic voice!"

The final contestant who made it through is Madison VanDenburg.
VanDenburg nailed a performance of "I Surrender," originally by Celine Dion.
She also sang Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart," and brought the house down.
