In Michael Jackson week, Anoop Desai took a big risk and went with the (pardon the pun) upbeat “Beat It”. His rendition of “Beat It” was ok, nothing special. Obviously he does not have Wacko’s moves and his voice seemed to lack the intensity at certain times. But the judges came down on him pretty hard.
Randy said he thought “It was very karaoke.”
Simon ripped him to shreds: “It was horrible. It was like a really, really bad impersonation.”
You decide for yourself if Anoop should move on to the next round or not (video below). The video contains snippets of a desi uncle and aunty (Anoop’s parents), some childhood images, shots of Anoop in Ray Bans (yikes) and such.
Will Anoop move to the next round?
At the smoke filled-curry smelling Über Desi HQ stocked with copious amounts of Kingfisher beer and Old Monk rum, much evil laughter ensues, as our friends at the Indian call centers appear to have done their work. DialIdol predicts Anoop Desai could be placed anywhere between the 4th and 11th places, indicating that he will most likely survive and move on to the next round. If he does, lets hope he starts picking numbers within his repertoire because talented as he is, Anoop’s choice of songs outside his comfort zone are killing him. Maybe Anoop could should try “Dinga dinga, dinga dinga, dinga dinga, dinga dinga dee”.
