  • Anoop is incomparable. It's in his name. He's great and will always be.

  • yeah...that's what u think...which is sad caused u didn't see it.

    Anoop is not good, Anoop is extraordinary talented and different from other. that's why he is the Best..!!

  • his voice is so sweet... even for something upbeat

  • his so sexy now...love u anoop...

  • @TurdF, thanks for your opinion. To everyone his own.

  • Delicious..smooth...so romantic.. just awesome. Anoop do not go on idol tour. That will cheapens your stature and talent- they don't deserve a great talent like you. Idol is for weird and strange people- it is rigged. You were the best singer by far, by miles. Please shop for a record deal ASAP and become the biggest star on the globe- a legend. EVE MARIE CARSON would be proud of you. She is watching from above.

  • wow, thats amazing!! :)

  • was he always a soloist with the clefhangers?

  • Anoop's Freshman 35! (instead of 15) lol

    soo cute :-)

  • Simply lovely.

    It makes me want to ask, "Who is Maroon 5?"

    ;)

  • amazing!! has a lot of talent!!

  • i really am forgetting how the original sounds... hahaha i mean most of the songs he sang... isn't that what they call 'owning the song' oh not to worry, i still love the original but anoop did great, didn't he?

  • love u anoop dog!

  • true... it doesn't matter anymore.

    Anoop's got major talent.

    He's seems competitve, ambitious and focussed

  • Anoop was and will always be great!

    The positions on American Idol don't mean a thing, it's all about what you personally take away from the competition.

  • love you noopie waaaaaahhhh!!!!

  • i ♥ u ANOOP!!! come and visit the Philippines.. i cried my heart out wen u got eliminated.. u r an inspiration to me.. i miss you already.. i hope one day il get d chance to meet in you in person.. fell in love with u since day 1.. btw, u wer totally rockin ur pink outfit.. maximum hotness right der.. plus ur soulful voice.. for me, u r d one and only IDOL!!! ♥♥♥

  • No that's just glass in his eye...

  • ANOOPPP!! he's still amazingg

  • OMG. Wow, look at the evolution of Anoop. From chubby and glasses (It's kinda cute though) to SEXYY! I love his voice! Although his voice sounds kinds thicker than usual.. He sounds better now, but he could still be an amazing singer with his voice now! VOTE! Pray that he does well this Tuesday.

  • Anoop has such great talent!

    Vote vote! :)

  • i think anoop is awesome, i think he'll be fine regardless...singing will be there, but he'll always have his grad degree from unc..

  • Anoop is indeed very likable as a performer...

  • He really makes me want to see the good in people. He's so freaking cute, man.

  • Anoop was amazing even then. He is a star no matter how far he goes on American Idol. He was born to be a singer.

  • u are so right. what ever happen in AI, anoop gonna be big star in this music industry... he was born with this luck and gift.

    i wanna buy his record...

  • BEAUTIFUL! this almost brought me to tears because this is one of my all time fave songs. & the part where it gets high when he sings "will" in "she will be loved" he practically whispered it but if he sung this song now i know he would totally hit it loud & hard & amazing. its great 2 see how far anoop's came in that way.

  • he looks a lot different. he's really gotten a LOT more confident as a performer but he still sounds great here.. i mean c'mon its ANOOP DESAI :D

  • He sings really well...

  • Anoop was a fatty! LOL. Let me stop. But, boy, whatta makeover. Anywho, his voice is to die for. Even if I met at that time, I would've still been in love. Guy + great voice = SOLD!

  • He's....ADORKABLE! I never thought I'd use that word but it applies to Anoop so well :)

  • omg it's anoop wow you guys are asome....i love how ya did the song with your own creations and i love how everything was all originality....

  • Omg when the hell did he start college? He was a Grad Student this fall...and he was there in 2004...so ahhh how old was he when he started college??

    He's 21 now...so he was what? Like 17...gosh I'm starting college next semister and I'll be 18 for like 3 weeks before I end up turning 19 in September....

    My gosh...

  • he's 22 now. He was born in 1986.

  • he sounds different... still amazing tho

  • maybe because he was under so much pressure in AI. he's still awesome though :) we anoooooop! <3

  • was his voice stronger then or am i wrong?

  • howd is voice change so much from then and now wow its completely different now

  • Anoop has a very great potential of an actor, performer and singer he got the right package. I am not sure though that he will be the ultimate Idol for this season.

    But this boy have a very good voice, and he just have to pick more powerful songs that can showcase the variety and power of his voice. Try to sing more of Josh Groban, James Ingram, Brian McKnight songs and even Celine Dion's songs (male version).

    I believe he can sing anything, he just have to put a little bit of action/emotion

  • i love harmonizing to this. great job guys :)

  • love anoop!!.. <3

  • Anoop's a geek but he's great :)

  • viva anoop!

    peace out!

  • this is one of my favorite performances. You can tell he is barely gettin out of shell but I like this cause its such a pure song and he totally nails it. Its different from his R&B. LOVE IT

  • ANOOP DOG. ASOme. ASO sexy. ASOrable. la jolla loves him.

  • what is noop wearing??

    lol.

  • whoa. his voice sounds different. he really was a nerd, then?

    but anyway, he's still great. :)

  • I love anoop, he's got my vote and support!!

  • so anoop made it to the top 13 woot woot. anoooooooooooop dawg

  • Anoop will be a HUGE presence in the recording industry

    he has the potential to outsell all of the other AI artists.

    I know that everyone will want to work with him

    I can see him on stage with Justin Timberlake.

    I can't wait to see him when AI gives him his Idol makeover

  • anoop is amazing

  • asian guy on the right's scarin me a bit...

  • You're too easily scared. Kenji (Brantley) was a GREAT music director for the group, and AMAZINGLY talented at arranging a cappella music....(to this day he still helps the Clefs from time to time). Plus he married a former Lorelei (UNC female a cappella group), so he has genetic a cappella or something...

  • anoop looks so geeky and weird with the glasses! but he's one great singer!!!!! wow!!! goosebumpssssss! i love him!

  • new poll from Entertainment Weekly.. they put anoop from #16 to #11. and he is leading!!! lets keep the lead!!!

    popwatch (dot) ew (dot) com/popwatch/2009/03/20-von-sm ith-ne (dot) html

  • oh my goodness, 2:23 :) that part is like, amazing!

  • ahhhh!!! anoop!!!! XD

  • I think the voice thing is due to the fact your use to hearing him sing R&B and this isnt R&B none the less he sounds great!.

  • his voice does seem weird here....still sounds good and i can still tell its him...but like yea

  • Scroll down to read an earlier response of mine about his sound/voice here...

  • whay doesnt high quality works!

  • It does...you just have to wait and let the normal quality play for like 15-20 seconds and then hit high quality and it will pick from there.

  • I think he sounds fine here!

  • anoop looked younger.. (def he was 18 right??)

    and he's still had that chuby cheek.. =D

    why he losses lot of weight?? btw.. rock on you anoop.. u'll be the next american idol even u're an asian...

  • Anoop was actually 17 here, almost 18. He decided to take off some weight I'm sure for the same reason most people would - look better, feel better, clothes fit better...... He had lost weight by Fall 2005 (watch Pimpin/Gold Digger) but the real transformation is evident by February 2006 (watch Don't Lie).

  • yup.. in "don't Lie" he's so skinny... but now he look soooo damn sexy.. =D

    thanks for quick reply... thanks for all the Clefs videos... the AI judges need to watch the videos from you...

  • what happened to this video, no longer available? It was one of my favorites, Anoop sounded awesome on it. Bring it back!!

  • Seems to play fine for me - try it again. YouTube has its quirks.......

  • thanks so much, it is working for me now.

  • i think there is something wrong in his voice,.. or does the sound system sucks,.. his voice really seems different,..

  • Couple things - 1) this venue has relatively crappy acoustics, at least compared to Memorial Hall where most of my other videos were shot, 2) the sound system or the camera microphone might have had issues, and 3) he was 17 years old here and his voice did evolve, I feel, over his time with the Clefs (the 4 years of my videos) from expereience. But I don't feel his voice here is all that different - he is excellent at adapting his voice to sound much like (better than!) the original artist...

  • omg I agree! i ithnk he sounds better than adam levine!

  • Let's not go that far. lol. Love me some Adam Levine. But Anoop did a great job, as well. And why his voice much better (and stronger) back then. Is it the weight?

  • my bad,.. didnt know that he was 17,.. but , boy, he is really great,.. i so love him,.. i think you're right,.. the camera microphone might have some problems so i thought there is something wrong in his voice,.. hehehe,..

  • Anoop needs a wildcard!

  • the guys are in the back are a little annoying

  • It's amazing the difference between this performance and The Only One For Me. I'm so glad he auditioned now and not back then. He was really good back then but now.. oh man, he seriously makes me want to throw my underwear at him. Not to mention, ahem, myself. Hahaa

  • ur not making sense, u said he was really good back then, but you are glad he didnt audition back then? explain pl0x

  • what I'm saying is that he has natural raw talent in this video but if you listen to his voice now it has a lot more control and it's smoother. I'm sure he would have done well had he auditioned a few years ago.. but I think he has a great chance with his developed voice now. Clearer?

  • yes. but why do you wanna throw ur underwear at him

  • He's so sexy with his glasses <3

    ANOOP FTW ! :D

  • I like the glasses. :)

  • Thank God for contacts! He looks way better without glasses~

  • he really looks like a person who study well...but oh boy,he surprise us with his music talent

  • i know he was young when he sing this...he looks like those indians in my country that study in english school...typical face but has huge talent...seriously if i come across him i wont know he has this huge talent based on looks...

  • anoop owns!

  • anoop still had his babyfat here hehehe. ;) amazing then, more amazing now.

  • i am in loooove with anooop!

  • his voice sounds different here. more of a bright, foward, almost nasal tone. I think he's trying to much to sound like Adam Levine. I would have liked it better if he used more of his natural voice.

  • Something to remember is that this video is from more than 4 years ago when he was 17 years old. It's likely that, if he sang this today, it would sound different - more towards the rich tone he has developed. And the goal of many college a cappella groups IS to sound just like the original artists...

  • I guess I said that because I love Anoops voice and don't really like Adam Levines.

    I know that a cappella groups tend to "imitate" the original, and thats okay, but once in a while its nice to hear something different. I particularly enjoyed Be Without and Angel of Mine alot because those were orginally done by females, so its harder to just imitate w.out bringing a bit of your own into it.

  • Having said all that, I do agree with you in that I'd love to hear Anoop do this song 'today', with the vocal maturity and experience he's developed since recording this video. And in many cases, I think the Clefs have ended up sounding BETTER THAN the original artists...

  • Agreed. He's definitely improved a lot over the years, has a lot more control now.

  • THIS is the song he needs to sing if he makes to the wildcard round. His voice sounds great.

  • he NEEDS to sing this song during the wild card thing!i'm in love 8-)

  • OMG, chubby and with glasses Anoop!!!! :D

  • he sounds different.. more... heavy toned? dont know if that made sense! lol

  • I love his voice here!

    and well all the time.

  • stupid AI...i hope he can come back...i hope the judges pick him as a wildcard.

  • that asian guy in on the right side is scaring me O_O
