Anoop Desai – Performance Profile, American Idol 2009 Season 8

April 21, 2009 by vongsundara · 1 Comment 

Anoop Desai had the vocals to compete, but his presentation was completely off. Anoop’s stage performances were dreadfully boring, especially given that he spends most his time on stage with his eyes closed. Ultimately, though, it was Anoop’s arrogance when dealing with the judges that turned his younger fans off of him and did him in.

Anoop Desai’s voice was boring boring boring as usual. I’m totally not digging his vocals. I don’t think I’ll remember this performance at all.

What on Earth is going on with Anoop’s facial hair this week? First Danny and now Anoop. This awful stubble needs to stop. He looked absolutely dreadful with the stubble combined with his grey suit and pink sweater (though I kind of liked the sweater if it were on its own). This weird preppy geek frat boy look needs to go away. Anoop’s stage performance was as absolutely sleep-inducing as usual. Dude needs to open his eyes when he sings.

Review Score: ★★☆☆☆
