Anoop Desai was great this week.
My skeptical attitude in last week’s post about Anoop Desai’s re-entry into American Idol has proven wrong. He got mauled by the judges last week, but survived in audience voting. This week, he was back with a bang. This was country music week, and his song was liked well by judges and audience alike. Simon Cowell, the judge who is the hardest to please, said “you went from a zero to a hero”, and called his performance the best of the night. I’m sure he will survive tonight’s vote too.

I have not been watching American Idol regularly, but seeing desi kid Anoop Desai on the show had sparked some interest in me. Then in last week’s episode, I turned the TV off when he was not one of the top twelve chosen. Turns out, moments later the judges had decided to make it a top-13 instead of a top-12 (video).
