Top 7 Part Two: Anoop Desai closes it outI think I've seen that Pepto-Bismol colored sweater Noop Dogg was wearing on someone else this season.  Anoop went with Donna Summer's "Dim All The Lights," so I guess he must be shopping in the woman's department, too? It didn't exactly end the show on a super note, especially not his last one, which was sooooooooo off. He really tried to stay in his lane with the smooth balladeer schtick but I would almost bet money that Noop Dogg will be back in the bottom three - again.

omg anoop went home so sad:(
The only word that i have for your voice is 'THE BEST' and you rock... I am sure that you are gonna to be the American Idiol 2009
Annop has the BEST voice- one of the best I've heard in a long time.
Adam has star quality in his stage presence but only a passable voice and the screaming is irritating. Anoop is my favorate and Kris is next. Danny is waaaay overrated. For the first time in all the seasons, I mostly disagree with the judges every time!! What gives? They have decided this contest from the beginning.
Annop, I love you....keep singing whatever. Can't wait for your CD to come out.. You will be an international recording artist selling millions and millions of records.. you have that kind of voice. Believe it!
Anoop's voice is gifted. No one has the velvet voice which is so controlled. I just love to hear Anoop sing. He is up there with Adam and Allison. Lil just simply "cannot" sing. It is time for her to go home
Great look and nice singing Anoop! I found it very enjoyable!
Kinda Hunky looking too! You Rock Anoop! Good luck with your career in whatever you choose to do....
This may be a competiition for singers but you need to have appeal too. Anoop stop pointing!! I just don't know where you fit in to the music world dude.
I love Anoop! He brings something different and positive. He gets better every week, unlike some of the initial front-runners. I hope Lil finally goes home tonight! I am all for the young mother trying to do better, but why didn't she listen and sing what we all were hoping she would? Like, Keisha Cole or Whitney Houston...
I would love to see Anoop stay. He's far more interesting than Matt and Lil, and when you listen to him sing – it's like warm honey.
Scott, when they play back the videos and the numbers at the end of the show, it's not the live performance that you've just seen. They do a 'dress rehearsal' with the crowd, right before the show starts.
Anyhow, Anoop deserves to be in the top 3 or 4 this year... he's the best vocalist and this is a competition for singers.
Anoop Rocks..he gets a lot less credit than he deserves. Go to youtube and look at some of his performances..you'll become a fan.
Matt and Lil to say goodbye tonight.
Lil Rounds can sing, maybe wrong song choices but she has a beautiful voice. I am kinda sick of Adam, thinking he is top dog! Actually Danny Gokey's voice is better than his. I think Adam just has a fan base and stage appeal rather than vocals.
Did anyone else catch that at the end of the show, the recap of each artist showed a DIFFERENT performance by Anoop than the full performance they showed earlier ??? Anoop was showed last, so they showed the very end of his performance (as usual). Anoop does NOT end on the same bad note during the recap (he ends in tune), and he ends the performance leaning over with his arm sticking out in a distinct posture (during the recap to be clear). Rewind and watch his earlier "complete" performance and he ends on the bad note that Randy pointed out, and he's not bent over with his arm out. It was shocking how obvious it is when you are looking for it. What is going on ???? How could that happen ????
Anoop was very good last night!!! I love the quality of his voice.
Anoop gave us some more smooth vocals this week, which is far from a complaint. He's been constantly improving over the course of the season. I just didn't like the song (or the last note, but we all know that). I can't decide if he or Matt will join Lil out the door. If I had a say, I'd keep 'em both. Oh well...
Anoop was great last night..... and yes the judges keep saying "Adam" in the final, Danny in the final...... well if you are unbiased judges how can you say that and discourage the other contestants? I didnt realize judges were allowed to do that... not just on AI but anywhere......
They have favs and they just try to manipulate stupid viewers to sway one way or the other. Its all rigged up.
Anoop was awesome!!! Definitely see him in the top 4. Simon was wayyyy off! He needs to reassess what he saw. And Danny sucked as usual. The judges need to recognize that he sounds the same in every song! His voice is NOT impressive at all.
Anoop doesnot get the credit he deserves and that's so sad. He is a great singer. I agree that he has the best vocals on that show. I undestand that they are looking for someone who has the 'package' but it's not fair to slam the guy's singing ability just because you don't like his look. It's very low down and disgusting thing to do. I've always like Anoop and in the beginning, I was a Danny fan too but as the show goes on, I got tired of Danny but Anoop has showcased his talent. I don't like everything Adam does but one cannot deny that he is a star. Anoop, if you're reading, you are the man. It's sad that you do not get half the credit you deserve. Hang in there baby, you got a fan here and I'll continue to vote for you.
He's slowly winning me over. Really handsome guy (way more gorgeous than Frankenfurter Adam) with such a pleasant, smooth, almost pretty voice. I don't think he has the unique vocal power & purity of a Clay Aiken, but he's sort of in the same ballpark when he's really on. Anoop will be an adult contemporary artist like Clay, mark my words, & the problem is, that genre does not at all get the respect it deserves.
Last note was an atrocity, but I needed a cigarette after the rest of it. How hot is Anoop?!
I really think Anoop should go home tonight. That last note was soooo flat! I wish him the best.
Same bottom three as last week. Bye Lil and Matt Giraud.
Anoop has the BEST voice on the show, PERIOD!!!
Dee, You forgot Kris.
I was shocked Anoop didn't make the cut for the top 9 & hope he would be selected for the wild card. With all that being said, He isn't as good as Kris, Allison, Adam or even Danny.
Dave, aren't you being too critical? Anoop is way better than Scott overstaying his welcome & Lil not taking advice, week after week.
RJ, don't bet your life. Anoop is pretty good. I'm a fan.
Sorry, I am watching this in Hong Kong which is broadcast about 10 hrs. after the USA. Before I saw the show, I was expecting he would take "If I can't have you" and turn it into a ballad, but Adam beat him to the punch.
I must say that, except for that last note which was really off, his rendition was not bad. And he did look better / more sharp tonight. His performance was as least as decent as Danny's, and I think Danny and he do not rank in the top 3 (as well as Lil and Matt).
Anoop might get caught in the bottom 3, but I do not think he deserves to be in the bottom 2. If his final note had been terrific, he might have shown Danny up.
I love Anoop. Always have. I know he wont win, but honestly feel we will be hearing from him. Sherry, you say love ballads are out dated? I think John Maher is still out there. Go Anoop. I think it will be Adam, Allison and Danny
It's a toss up b/w Anoop & Matt leaving tonight w/ Lil.
I bet my life of it that No one comes even closer to Anoop when it comes to vocals. Dave you must be a deaf guy, may be you can't digest a fact that a non white is competing in this competition. This is talent show and not your racial view show.
Real men do wear PINK.
Please don't write stupid comment about Anoop Desai. If he goes home tonight . The reason will be that he is a victim of racism.
Can't stand him or his singing - he should have been gone weeks ago!
I have to say Anoop looked really handsome last night with the clothing and hair, and even the semi beard. He is a great singer and I don't believe he will be going home tonight. I actually did like his performance last night.
Wake up people, Anoop rocked and is one of the most talented singers on the show. Get over his ethnicity. Lil and the "Justin Timberlake wanna be" are going home. I think Chris should be going home do, but he won't because all the girls think he is cute. What a disgrace.
Anoop–loved the facial hair. And you totally rocked the pink shirt, Dude. Seriously.
You know, he might well end up in the Bottom Three again. But last year, there was a young woman who couldn't seem to stay out of the Bottom Three, and she finished in the Top Three. Syesha Mercado. Don't write him off just yet.
The judges are so biased in this competition. They were wrong on at least 5 contestants last night. I didn't like the song choices of Lil and Anoop, but they still have the best voices on the show. Allisons voice is too loud and rough. Matt, Danny, and Kris all should have been gone home weeks ago!
Anoop just doesnt have it. Time to go back to chapel hill!!!
I loved Noop's look tonight and I think he did a great job with his song.
He looked relaxed and looked like he was having fun. If I were judging him, I think it was his best performance so far.
Anoop is great..Loved his performance.. he will learn how to dress later when they come on top looked now jeannifer huddson how see looks when she got money. ppl chaged. he is simple n good. why ppl are so prjudice about how he looks.
I just love Anoop! one of the best singers this year in American Idol!
I think that Anoop is a nice guy on top of that his vocal is chick and really tempting enough to seduce gals .and I'd say. I bet he will be stay another week. I'll keep my fingers cross for you.
Anoop looked HOT tonight!! Keep that look. Also, great vocals tonight. I hope you stay...
I thought Anoop Was Great tonight!! Loved his 'Look'!! As Paula said, "Real men know how to wear Pink"! And, I think Lil and Matt need to go home!
Anoopy snoopy boopy, baby, it's not maybe, it's no baby.
I really like Anoop. He deserves to stay; that's why I voted for him
Anoop was not nearly as bad as Simon said.
I actually enjoyed him tonight – He deserves another week.
Watch Anoops performance and note the bad note he sings (His last note) – he also makes a face. Then, watch the recap performances at the end of the show and note that Anoop's last (Bad) note is gone and his facial expression is different. What gives? How was that edited if its a live show?
Hmm
ANOOOOPPPP!!!!! your the best!!!!!... Why won't guys try to close your eyes while watching/listening to the AI contestants you will then realizes that ANOOP, KRIS, and ALLISON is the best...their voice is sooo nice in the ears.... ADAM's voice is annoying..he can shout though.... LIL got voice but don't know how to use it, MATT is too JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE wannabe.... tsk.... DANNY? i hate to comment but its TRUE that him and ADAM is OVERATED!!!... I will still love to see ANOOP, KRIS and ALLISON... I WIll really vote for them specially ANOOP! he is the MAN!!!!
YUCK! A Poop is RIGHT!
I disagreed with Simon. He way over-exaggerated it. I know he'll probably make bottom 3 again, but I want him around for just one more week especially since he did better than Matt. And Simon is making his personal preferences a little too obvious. Its getting annoying.
Anoop deserves to stay;he's got a great voice.
Matt & Lil should go home.
Pretty good singer...but does not have the whole package and appeal....looks like a deer caught in headlights when the camera is in front of him....he tries too hard
Noop-dawg...keep the stubble...man, you'll be hotter than Kris! Love him, love his personality. He might not win this competition but, he'll be remembered in a very fond way. Considering the competition, he did a good job...he's found his niche and it's a joy to watch him.
Anoop wasn't as bad as Matt.
Anoop was good tonight - he has a smooth voice and he got the feel right. I also thought that he looked hot - the stubble works for him.
Tired of love ballads. That shipped sailed dear ( the love boat) and I believe you may be to.
I really like Anoop. Do I think he'll win??? No, but he is nice easy listening.
Will I be surprised if Matt and Lil go home tomorrow??? No.
Kris, Anoop and Adam were the best tonight... i hope next week is for R&B cuz Anoop will blow the roof off...
Lil and Matt need to go now... no need for a show tomorrow
i thought he was second to Adam...i'm surprised myself!
Anoop was awesome and he deserves more credit than he gets. If you watch it over again, he has such pure vocals and it sounds so clean on itunes. He's the only contestant that has such pure vocals on the Itunes songs. I will definitely buy the songs. I really hope he stays for another week. I'm voting for the 2 hrs.
I hope you stay Anoop. I have really enjoyed your performances.
Gokey and Lil deserve to go home. Gokey reminds me of an '80's flashback. Okay voice, but nothing special. Not only can Matt sing well, but he's a highly skilled pianist. And tonight for sure he was better than Gokey!
I love Anoop. He's a great guy and can sing (wow, a balanced artist – who knew). He's not as polished as some of the others but I think that's what's appealing. No way he'll win it all but based on the performances tonight, he deserves to make top 5. Sadly I think Matt and Lil will depart tomorrow night, both of their songs were messes & Anoop put his own spin on his song so he gets points for originality. Go Anoop!
I agreed with Simon that this was just horrible BUT I think Matt was much worse. Matt and Lil deserve to go home.
I really enjoyed that, besides the last note. I hope he stays. I am even willing to vote this week to keep him!
Anoop is a far better singer than Matt – it's history for Matt and Lil. Anoop will get one more week.
I like Anoop, I think he did a really great job. Know what I noticed most tonight? For those of us lucky enough to remember disco, it was all about dressing up. Blue jeans were definitely out. Along with the two ladies, Adam and Anoop got it right. Terrific vocals from Anoop helped too.
What about Allison?
I kind of liked Anoop tonight. Better than I have before...
I missed everyone else's performance. Where's Allison's blog?
Go home. Please, just go home now. You had your chance. Please, go home.
turn off the light because you put me to sleep Anoop
Boooo. Go Anoop and UNC!
I enjoyed Anoop, I thought his vocals were really good.
If you are reading this Lisa you forgot Allison.
Anoop...that was poop. Simon had it right, as usual. One of your worst performances. Bottom three for me: Anoop, Lil, and Danny. Lil and Danny go home...first shocker of the season.
love himmmmmmmmmmm
I'm with Simon. If Noop's vocals were good, I was too distracted by the 80s synthesizer (who takes 70s and makes it 80s?) to notice. He looked odd. He sounded okay, but again, the arrangement was so distracting that even on a second listen, I couldn't really tell how he was doing...
Anoop took "A Poop" on the stage tonight. Him and Lil' are gone. Thank God.
OK i will ask again: why is there no blog for Allison Iraheta tonight????
Anoop and Lil are headed home. I think Matt will last another week.
