Giraud auditioned for the eighth season of American Idol in Louisville, Kentucky. He was considered a judges’ favorite in Hollywood, with Randy Jackson naming him among his “top 5″ early favorites. During Hollywood week, he performed “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5 as part of a group called White Chocolate, along with fellow finalist Kris Allen. He did not make the finals initially, but was brought back for the Wild Card show. The judges unanimously lauded his performance of “Who’s Lovin’ You” and he became a part of the Top 13 (along with Anoop Desai, Megan Joy, and Jasmine Murray).

The next week, however, Giraud received poor reviews from Jackson and DioGuardi. The following night, the results revealed that he received the lowest amount of votes. However, for the first time in American Idol history, Giraud was spared elimination when the judges utilized Season 8’s new twist. The consequence of this, for all of the contestants, was a double elimination after the second Top 7 night. On that night, Giraud performed “Stayin’ Alive” and received mixed reviews. Nevertheless, he survived the vote this week and even avoided placing in the Bottom 3.
