UPDATE: Sam Woolf sails into top seven on "American Idol"

After nearly being eliminated last week, because of low vote numbers, Sam Woolf's fans decided they wanted their "American Idol" favorite to stay in the competition a little longer. 

April 10, the Braden River High senior, who has been getting his assignments sent to him in Los Angeles, while he performs on the show, easily landed a top seven spot on the singing competition, thanks to the votes of his fans.

His version of "Time After Time," by Cyndi Lauper, won over the celebrity judges — Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. — who saved Woolf from going home April 2, by using their only "save" in the 13th season.

Watch Woolf's journey continue on "American Idol" from 8 to 10 p.m., April 16, on FOX.
