Anoop Desai
He's a native North Carolinian. Raised in Chapel Hill where he now goes to school. His parents are from India.
He sings "Beat It". It's kinda cheesy.
Paula: Hi, Anoop! When you pick a song, it's your gift to show the world to show what you've got. But here come the boos. I think that song is untouchable. Anything else is karaoke.
Simon: I thought it was horrible. All very lightweight. It actually looked a bit stupid. A really bad impersonation.
Randy: Bad choice, Anoop-dog. Didn't work for me.
Kara: Since you can sing we didn't get to see you do any kind of variation. We felt disconnected.
