Although I am not a fan of American Idol, Santosh, looking for stories turned into one. Well that and our readers seem to have a thing for Desis on AI.
I say this because Chickpea, sent us a tip about a ‘Greasy’ Indian kid called Udi Sampat and I had to go searching.
According to USA Today
Udi Sampat, who dances like MC Hammer to motivate fellow workers and sings My Way to motivate viewers to run to the refrigerator. But at least he “can accept constructive criticism,” by his own admission.
AJC.com took it a step further
Then there’s Udgeet “Udi” Sampat, who tries to inspire people at the office with music and enjoys doing the MC Hammer dance (Michael Scott from “The Office” would be proud!). Udi’s terrible – naturally. “Did you honestly think you had any chance of getting through and winning?” Simon asked. “Yes, I did.” he said. “You’re nuts. It was completely tuneless. Slightly disturbing,” Simon added.
The song they had everyone do is “I Love Rock n’ Roll.” The judges actually never see anyone singing this song. But the editors make it seem as if they are reacting to the contestants.
Sree over at SAJA has a post up about his performance, with a video. The youtube video can be found here.
Video after the jump, thanks shlok.
