Dim The Lights (Studio Recording) - Anoop Desai [DOWNLOAD]

[forest3823]

He wont be really famous, but I am sure his record will be better then Adams, Krises, and Allisions were. Not sales wise, but it will sound better.

[kahrl1111]

Guess Donna enjoied this version as much as we all do!

[snazzyjazzy0007]

omg i love anoop-dog he is amazzinggg!!! he shud have won american idol....also danny gokey was amazingg too!! such a sad story about his wifee :( his singing got him thru it tho and his voice touches my heart every time i hear it <333 i love anoop and danny!

[blue4me43]

I love the Anoop's version of this song. He is verrrrryyyy talented.

He will the greatest singer in the near future.

we love you, "Anoop" keep singing.

[karishmaglitters]

OH MY DANG...!!he cud just sing the ABC song or Twinkle Twiinkle little star...and i wud hyperventillate..the dudes voice is extreme sexy

[juliuswizard]

Beautiful

[Ninaki13th]

i think he is indian..but i don't care..and you people should't\

he sings amazing

[TediusZanarukando]

Anoop Desai is my third favorite of season 8 and my 12th favorite finalist ever. I voted for him while also voting for Lil Rounds. The week they both were eliminated was a double shocker for me.

[shar146]

you know what?! just 4get it! damit

[nittenichiryu]

okay.

byw, be happy will ya.

and make some friends.

ciao.

[karishmaglitters]

lol...his version is wicked awsome

[elijahsessions]

songs

[elijahsessions]

i cant belive kris and anoop sang donna summer

[yumimer]

Anoop did a great job updating this song...it actually has a nice groove to it...and he did a fantastic vocal...i almost thought he could sustain that long note as long as Donna Summer

[jellcube26]

This was the week were he got kick off! Damn! I Dunno why but this very good rendition!^^,

[nittenichiryu]

he's indian. and this is American Idol.

If he's White/Black.., i think he would be in the final with Adam.

[shar146]

racist much, nitenichiryu?

[nittenichiryu]

what? racist??

i'm not a racist.

beside..

I'm ASIAN.

Why would i be racist to my own race?

i just saying the truth..

i like him, i even downloaded this video to my laptop.

hmmff..

some people.

[nittenichiryu]

what?? i got 6 thumbs-down??

First of all, I'm Asian. If were a racist, i wouldn't opposed my own race would i??

And second of all, i'm just saying the truth..like it or not.

c'mooonnn..

[shar146]

u said he was indian, they're different. duh!

[nittenichiryu]

and you're point is...

..

Read my previous post :

"i just saying the truth..

i like him, i even downloaded this video to my laptop."

..

Us Asian have a stronger bond than any of the other continent.

[shar146]

so you're saying asians are better than other people, like american, russian,cuban etc.?

[nittenichiryu]

okay..now i'm confused.

First you're basically saying that i'm a racist.

Now you're telling me that i'm a chauvinist??

what's wrong with you..??

seriously.

what's your problem?

[shar146]

o.. btw.........u are!

[Thosedarn8IQpoints]

Um most of russia is in Asia.

[Thosedarn8IQpoints]

India's in Asia. I'm sure you know that but still if you're Indian you're asian. :) but Asian's not a race so you're not completely wrong.

[SthrnAllStar]

That was a nice way of putting it..some people would have snapped his head off for making that mistake..kudos to you.

[hakutheicedemon]

i love anoop but i hate to say it was his time to go. i mean matt sang better and every one did better! ecept lil. but matt was kick ass. and anoop u just didny do the best u could have. i mean if they kicked off matt lil be going home and anoop be in the top 5 but it didnt happen that way. he might have failed in rock week anyway

[hakutheicedemon]

? minus 2? wow this proves my idea of pepole get 1 person and only votes for him. i love anoop dog but he had to go

[TheBestNileyStoryeva]

its anoop dawg not anoop dog hes not an animal its like snoop dawg you know ya thx 4 reading

[laxlife14]

Snoop dawg?

Are you retarded? It's Snoop Dogg. D - O - Double G

[Thosedarn8IQpoints]

Well actually it's "Noop dawg"

Randy misheard him when he auditioned but I guess it stuck.

[NuNi2693]

i love this song

i sin it pretty good too

and i like his version of this song a lot

this is my favorite song

[CrystalTheOneAndOnly]

The week after this is one hed hav rokd at. Figures.....

[hakutheicedemon]

he deserved to stay one more week caus ehtis was a good song choice for him

[hakutheicedemon]

note simon said worst song he ever sang. wow simon so the beat it by him was better? simon shut up ur british go back to ur tea and crumpetslol

[JLN2854]

I seriously can't help but think that if he had picked a different song he might still be on the show. The judges didn't like it right? Didn't Simon call his rendition "Corny"?

Well regardless he's still going to be selling records and I'll be in line

[nahjei123]

:) hes great

[hakutheicedemon]

greta intro and great song the judes are dumb

[ironick5]

i love his rendition on this song...

put a smile and groove in me... :)

[hakutheicedemon]

well it was a lil akward in the fast tempo but some peole hate anoob saying he over stayed his welcome. rember 1 thing anoob never ever sings in his safety zone so he is a ok artist. but if he used his genere and type of music he could go much further him and alison were my favs.... imiss them both

[rmongia]

good song

[DazzleMe18]

he's great <3

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

Lol, good game Bjork... You argued well, but have NO basis for how America is racist (only white America aperantly), and African Americans and other races are not..... Great point buddy... And I know, everything I have said is bigoted, but every PRESIOUS word you write is gracious..... Sorry for the understanding Pagan.....

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

Lol, nothing else to say??? So being sarcastic is racist as well??? Lol, you are a joke! And Danny Gokey, why did you say that, you "sarcastic ass"??? Lol, Great post, and thanks for the easy win on my part!!!

[PaganBjork]

Easy win? I thought you were DONE a while ago? You have nothing substantial to say that isn't bigoted or ignorant so please just step out of the sandbox, you silly child.

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

And "what if have falsely learned in school"??? Sorry, but I am currently in my senior year in college, and I have learned plenty on this subject; I am sure that school offers more facts than whatever place you have learned your mumbo-jumbo (hope that doesn't offend you or make you think I am prejudice against you, lol)... And Jessy Jackson: Do you believe in his policies? Did you vote for him in the Primary Election??? Didn't think so..... Hey, thanks for the good time!

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

So: Do not speak on the topic of racism, do not offer my opinion on the topic of racism, do not give FACTS about racism, do not point out that YOU are racist (lol), and do not continue speaking about racism to you because I am then considered a RACIST because of these reasons??? Lol, funny..... Hey, great point, and you proved me wrong..... How can I change my racist ways??? Please do help........

[PaganBjork]

You can stop being racist by not being a sarcastic ass. Every word you type reinforces your bigotry. Why don't you go comment on Danny Gokey's videos?

[TVandMusicFreak]

I Like Anoop but...

[insanelysa]

Pretty good!

[fruitx4yay]

how did this racism thing start on this video of all places?

not the best song choice, but he has an amazing voice, and this is great!

[JLN2854]

He should have picked a different song

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

The only reason your so-called "100% blacks" havent won the presidency (Jesse Jackson as an example), is because:

1. African Americans are a MINORITY in this country, much as Latino Americans, Asian Americans, ect. Name a country that has elected a person of minority.....

2. He had and still does contain radical political positions, which is not popular among the majority of America.

3. He DID win South Carolina in the Primary race, but I guess that's just a fluke!

This is fun, thanks!!!

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

First, you are the one who said "100% BLACK"; I wasn't talking of the term African American! Second, Aftican American describes ancestry, not their birthplace! Lol, and im the ignorant one... And Barack Obama: He is made of more caucasian than African American, and the reason he is in office is because he is a SMART political leader with a great understanding of how to run our country!

[PaganBjork]

You're missing the point. Technically, we are all of AFRICAN ancestry. That's why "African-American" doesn't work anymore. You are too ignorant to put aside what you've falsely learned in school. Sad.

Name a country that has elected a person of minority? There have been several. Look at South Africa, for SEVERAL years they elected minority candidates before they stopped being racist. And your prejudice against Jesse Jackson is really glaring, but not shocking.

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

Ummmmm, popomaniac1, which religion do you believe in??? EVERY religion has it's mythological past, which is the main reason for the rise of the Theory of Evolution!

[archuletaeagle]

i lik anoop and alison :)

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

Well I'm sorry to tell you PaganBjork, but it is VERY RARE to find anyone who is 100% AFRICAN AMERICAN, not BLACK like you say (thats racist)... Name someone who is 100% African American, Caucasian, Latino American, Asian American, ect... President Barack Obama? I guess he is the exception, since he  is only partially African American!

Again, good luck proving your theory, because when you keep responding with other racist accusations, it PROVES MY POINT!!! Thanks for that...................

[PaganBjork]

Saying "African American" is not racist, it's politically correct. Get your terminology correct. And not EVERYBODY is American and not ALL blacks are from Africa. You are ignorant.

Let me guess, you are one of those people who think that racism is gone just because Barack Obama was elected president? Let me tell you something sweetheart: if he was 100% black, Barack Obama would not be sitting in the oval office right now. That's the truth.

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

With that being said, Anoop is an amazing singer, and I wish him the best... I also look forward to HOPEFULLY listining to him on the radio soon, as his voice becomes piercing at times! Great job this season......

[CrazyDbacksFan1414]

Wow, you are certainly tunnel visioned PaganBjork!!! The ONLY reason racism SEEMS to be in our society today is because people keep bringing it up, especially where it is NOT warrented...

You sound like the one who has racist ideas, as you have ONLY named African American contestants, exclaiming Anoop! Here are the facts concerning (American Music, Billboard Music, Grammy, and Academy Awards: (total)

1. Clarkson: 18

2. Hudson: 2

3. Fantasia: 3

4. Underwood: 23

5. Daughtry: 10

[PaganBjork]

No, you are the racist. Of course Jennifer Hudson is going to behind on awards, she's only propelled to fame after Dreamgirls and SHE'S FACED AN ENORMOUS TRAGEDY IN HER LIFE! Also, if you're going to count Oscars than why not count Hudson's Golden Globe, SAG, and BAFTA? No one else has that.

By your little statistics you just show how racist America is. They will only respond to white singers and even when they respond to minorities, they are rarely 100% black or 100% another race. Really sad.

[asianbeautiesomg]

nice of people to be racist as fuck

[dvgromp1]

oh I didnt realize this was national racism day

[iloveuhaters]

sad to say we can't undo the past =([

[Lurvebooks]

Anoop was ROBBED!

[oohhbloodyhell]

matt does'nt deserve to stay since he has not delivered even once... so there's no point in keeping him in the show... like he made a mess of you found me, part time lover and almost all the songs he sang...

[tonggit014]

not all the songs i think..

he made a good version of part time lover ;0

adam ftw ;p

[oOheyitsmonicaOo]

im pissed that hes gone. but this honestly wasnt that good. he messed up that week. cause like when he sung true colors or everything i do, he did amazing, ugh i loveeee him <3

but he wasnt goin to make it gauranteed so even tho i voted the whole 2 hours, it was pointless =[

just speaking the honest truth. LOVES YA ANOOP <3

plus hes damn cuteee!!

[northside2k7]

he's indian face it that's why most people didn't like him remember he wasn't even voted in the top 13 he was brought in my the judges as a wild card

[PaganBjork]

Thank you. White-dominated America will only vote for white contestants because of our deep racist roots. Winners like Fantasia and Ruben are generally considered "bad" winners even though they can easily outsing several of the white contestants throughout the series.

[blueyes92286]

This is 2009...I seriously doubt that this had anything to do with race. The weakest contestants went home...you pick out Fantasia and Ruben...who I can't remember the last time I heard one their songs on the radio...and say that they can out-sing several "white" contestants. grow up. Carrie Underwood is the best AI winner so far and I think that Adam Lambert will be the next great AI. AND SHOCKER...it has nothing to do with the color of the their skin...it's because they can actually SING.

[PaganBjork]

lol, Fantasia has gotten 8 Grammy nominations and she was a huge Broadway hit when she starred in The Color Purple. But because of the colour of her skin, you act like you've never heard of her. It's people like you who make it all about race. You can only vote for white people, as you proved by saying you think Adam is the best that this season has to offer. What about Anoop? Lil? Jasmine? Jeanine? Ju'not? Oh right, they are too coloured for you.

[steven1973sg]

He has a good chance but he chose the wrong song. It too mellow for a disco song and it didn't showcase his vocal strength. I'm sad to see him go. They should've voted off Matt Giraud instead.

[MatKerbouchard]

fans knows better than what we hear from simon... i mean we should not be bothered by what simon says, i think he doesn't believe it himself...

[oohhbloodyhell]

i wish i had a magic wand so that i could bring him back...

[karishmaglitters]

cant blieve simons comments...what a bloke!!!i thought that anoops performace was one of the best of the night....second best....kris being the first....matt and allison sucked...if i only were close enuf i wud have destroyed simon..

[BabyMelly]

Poor Anoop, I really really loved his voice but I just didn't care much for seeing him on stage.

[NikDaChic]

Oh, his voice is melt worthy...I'm really sad to see him go, but it is a competition and in a way this is better than winning because I feel he WILL go father than Idol. GO ANOOP!

[davidcookfangirl]

i was SO sad when he got home.... T_T i love Anoop!<3

[ERINFIERCE]

i love anoop.

[kibalover967]

this is so good :]

[yumimer]

The studio version is really good and the arrangement is contagious...really nice beat...I'm already missing him..

[namiraaja]

boy i'm still pissed he got voted off..

ratpack week would've been wonderful for him ! :'(

oh well.. this studio version is awesome !

can't wait for his cd to hear more of these.. ^^

[1Renina]

I LIke This!! Why didn't I like it when he was live???? Well, this studio kills, GO ANOOP!

[iKiSOx818]

God shut the hell up about his race. He's a human just as much as you. And another thing, he can sing. Oh, by the way, just in case you failed to understand, American Idol is something where you find a good singer, and not a race you approve of. But doesn't Anoop look like he'd be in movies? Like House. lmao :D

[reachgirlphilippines]

this song sorta reminds me of musicals like HSM or grease or something like footloose

[doctorwhofan13]

I love Anoop so much,he ish an amazing person,and he will make millions of CDs!Anoop Desai rules!

[bj70117]

He has a contract, don't worry we will listen to him soon!

[kibalover967]

seriously, he has a contract? :-D

thats so awesome. how did you find out?

[haleysummers09]

why the hell are ppl talking abt his race!! AMERICA IS MULTICULTURAL U IDIOTS!

i totally agree that he was voted off because everyone else is AMAZING and he's just good.. but i still love anoop

[Fr0zEnHoTCh0cLaTe]

I really HATE the racist people who didn't vote for him because he's Indian... This is a singing competition it shouldn't matter about race

[Nodi20]

actually, he got out because the other 5 is WAY more talented than him so yeah

[BeezyKid]

Bahaha, you're funny. Anoop can out sing all them except for Adam.

[TCSkillz3310]

I actually think Anoop could outsing Adam too, it just depends what song, they have total different styles so it's hard to compare them, it just depends on what kind of music you like, and I like Anoop's style of R&B music way better than Adam's screaming stuff when he does that

[fruitx4yay]

aboslutely. i bet if he was white he would still be in it, and still be kicking ass!!!

[lilmisslyrics96]

I loved anoop. stop talking bout his race you racists!

[MSAmericanIdol21]

This is how we know Anoop got eliminated because of his race.

[karishmaglitters]

u better shut it u racist moron

[popomaniac1]

i thought it was pretty funny i mean hindu religion

its a joke seriously wtf they believe in mythology

thats mega fake

[toocooltanvi]

loll.. thats the most steryotypical thing... in a long time

[mheowwwwww]

not cool...

[duwey333]

i like allison, adam, and kris better, but anoop is good 2! i don't understand why he lhad 2 leave so early! i didn't think he could win but he shouldn't have left this early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[jaykei23]

I so love Anoop! He makes great studio versions of his songs from the show. I think he's too underrated esp by the judges.

[NyMikey09]

"anoop doug in the house" not a big fan of him..but i like him singing this song

[ohhbloodyhell]

i dont understand why that crazy ass simon did'nt like it... it was not that bad... as compared to matt... what matt sung was an utter mess... the keys were lowered... he try to put a lot more in it... he overdid the improvisations and rifts... that was not required..and at some places he went totally off key...

[ohhbloodyhell]

i cant believe this has happened to him... he was great.. its not the question of who's better and who's not... its just that it was too early.... and america got it wrong.. it think matt giraud shud've been out... he made a mess out of stayin alive... anoop did well except that last note at the end...

[dancerxo6]

i loved anoop!

[JC4DJA]

stop hating, fuckers.

[jonlimros]

great version! love the song.

[mrmoxi]

Glad he's gone.

He butchered this song.

He doesn't stand up to the rest of them in a real vocal/artistry contest.

[wolfclan0]

that is so not true, he just fell off a bit

[fruitx4yay]

if you dont like him, dont watch his videos....

[BeezyKid]

Being a good performer doesn't necessarily mean that the person will be a successful recording artist. Adam is a great performer, no doubt about it, but I can't really imagine his music on the radio.

[bronx43]

... what, do you listen to the Disney radio station all day?

[naruto1616]

They treated Anoop very unfairly. This brings to light, of other contestants who were treated unfairly. However, I will always remember this contestant in particular, in bringing out how manipulative television and the media is. You could use him as a great example of how the media guides and conditions the masses' mind. I really hope Anoop does not go under Simon's label, and i'm pretty sure Simon won't allow him to. I really want him to work with R&B/ hiphop producers with that voice.

[spotzyglitch]

maybe becoz the slumdog millionaire fever is also over.. just kiddin.. hehe

[musicrockz93]

i dont get why Simon didnt like it. I'm sure his comments affected people's voting!! ahhh! this song sounds as tho it can really be on the radio now! I'm gonna miss Anoop!!

[emmytang]

i don't wanna watch american idol anymore :( </3

[discofever88]

Anoop Gone..only Matt the last WILDCARD contestant.

[MellifluousClown]

I thought Danny should have gone. He can't do anything new.

But, yeah, Anoop's very cocky but REALLY good :)

[yoyoyo1418]

AMAZINGG

[brdhln45]

he shouldnt have gone home!!!!!

[musicc4life]

Anoop was the BEST.

he shouldn't have went home!

[Saissesong]

Actually, the studio version is not that bad. It's unfortunate that the idols have to sing abridged

versions of their songs. 2 mins is too short of

time to get a good picture of the arrangement

in some instances.

[acedup]

This arrangement is really bad. Best wishes to Anoop.

[sumlikeithotter]

this is sooo much better than the live version, and i didn't even think the live was that bad! <3 anoop... i'm boycotting AI for the rest of the season, lol

[sailordreamXD]

I miss Anoop.... I'm not voting for anyone else this season......

[Streetweare]

Anoop and Matt are amazing but the judges play them down :(

[SuperKevin21]

Anoop tore this song up, he is gonna do a lot in the future!!!!!

[iloveuhaters]

I thought his studio would sound really great.hope i will hear more of him on the music industry coz im sooooo gonna miss him i wanna cry a river again!!! =[[

Anoop is out on the show but im still 100% gonna continue ANOOOOOPING!!!

LOVE YOU!!Best of luck to you!!

[EHsoccer12]

im not a fan of him, but i rlly liked his performance!

[azn7193]

He's so annoying. This ain't disco.

[angelofdeathjk]

Annoying? He has the best vocal tone out of any of the contestants. Maybe he's not as good as a live performer which is why he didn't succeed, but his voice is a lot more memorable than any of the others. He's going to make a record that will succeed over anyone else from this season.

[monleo1705]

This IS a disco song stupid

[purpleloco]

anoop? annoying?

of course not i totally disagree he has the most beautiful voice in the planet!!!!

love u anoop!

[kisskissnk]

im sad that he got eliminated..

i go for allison now.

[billyboylb]

Anoop has a really nice voice to listen to. Just not a lot of charisma. I say Adam all the way to the top!!!

[iloveuhaters]

sorry i just cant stand adam's voice but i like the way he performs though.

so I say Kris to the top!!

But i've no reason to watch the show now so I dont care what will really happen.

[musicrockz93]

noo!!!! I'm gonna miss Anoop!!!

=(

[GeralynMadrigal]

wtf this is not DISCO!!! he is always doin safe song!!!

[PaganBjork]

This song IS disco, Geralyn, you stupid bitch.

[lides2000]

I like this version & IMO, the 2nd best song of the night (Adam's If I can't have you is the best!) He's probably still be around ...if he's white!! Matt should be the one leaving the AI instead of him!

[lauraaa3]

i agree. matt definitely shouldve went home. that was anoop's best performance in my opinion.

[nets1fan102290]

matt should of went home.

[Arkansas19852003]

i am a kris fan but anoop is pretty good.
