American Idol Performance - Anoop Desai sings Always On My Mind by Elvis Presley Top 11

[ashbaddi]

u see u americans always make fun of indian accent!!!! this willl make u think twice

[AysieElf]

What?! He didn't make it?! He doesn't need it! He's just perfect enough.

[deepen2011]

he should have def won.. but whatever.. he has two solo albums and already has amazing songs out.. American Idol will regret this.. this guy was special..

[TheAmericanbelle]

anoop and megan joy was my favorite and both lost! oh well...LOL

[TheAmericanbelle]

i love this song...

[minipant1]

seriously nice!

[ebbok]

Realy nice voice, maybe even like music to my ears? :)

[abhi20061989]

great mah brother ,,, u r the up coming enrique yaar

ur voice is mixture of bryaan n enrique style

[TheSpawntaneous]

wow...

[scbaldwin13]

He's so bland and uninteresting! Y'all have no taste whatsoever if you like him! I'm not saying he's bad, but there's nothing special about his voice.

[michael1791]

@scbaldwin13 I agree that he doesn't have what performers have. But he's got an awesome voice, and he's just a regular dude. He deserves some love. lol

[scbaldwin13]

@michael1791 nahhh he got lucky to get so far in the competition

[loseryaya00]

Nice song!

[pkul85]

omg im so gaga over anoop.. he really is a treat to listen to!

[ashlynnfelker]

i was sooo sad he didnt make it that far i was mad as hell cus he was one of my favs

[cardinalgirl1]

Anoop is a beautiful singer- remember Simon told Jennifer Hudson that she 'would never go any farther than Idol"-

[tsianal]

You are great Anoop!

[TarholeTerrorizer]

A tarhole with a uni-brow, real impressive.



[TarholeTerrorizer]

This punk sucks

[massteral]

@TarholeTerrorizer u must be tone deaf

[wittyworldlee]

kris allen? really?

[cacae]

He sand this really well!

[n1o2s3y4a5j]

he's underrated.... hope he comes out album soon, i miss anoop esp this cover, great voice, nice cover

[yumimer]

@n1o2s3y4a5j He has an album out already... All is Fair ...on iTunes, amazon and his site anoopdesaidotcom

[TH3YTOOKOURJOBS]

my math teacher knows him

[TH3YTOOKOURJOBS]

my math teacher knows him

[BoLlYwOoDcHiCk10]

he didn't win because not enough Indians voted for him!!!! if more indains voted he would won!!!!!!

[salmanyafiz]

@BoLlYwOoDcHiCk10 ..

american idol doesnt have a big INDIAN fan base.

[lozoft9]

@BoLlYwOoDcHiCk10 south asians (pakistanis, indians, bengalis, nepalis) number at the most 1.25% of the american population. of that population, how many are fobby aunties and uncles who don't care to watch american idol? we are a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the viewers. the reason why he got voted off is because he wasnt as "cute" as sanjaya or adam. eff both of them, anoop dogg killed this song.

[teejay1618]

If he had auditioned for this season of AI (2010), he could have reached at least 3rd place or even 2nd, instead of 7th or 6th last year. There were too many great talents last year, and too few this year. I miss last season's contestants.

[melindamelinda11]

@teejay1618 Oh please! he had the best voice even last year & he should have won but noone named ANOOP DESAI can win the title. they kept telling sheeple that he was terrible & it got to a point where perceptiom trumped the reallity. anywho i dont give a damn anymore ,Anoop is in much better place now so whatever!

BTW you said this year he would have reached 2nd or 3rd place , who do you think is better this season for 2nd or 1st place?( i need a good laugh.)

[melindamelinda11]

@teejay1618 I've said it before & i'll say it again technicaly he finished 5th but they saved matt freakin giraud just so anoop couldnt make top 5. pretty twisted reality show..

[hhhrainbow]

really great voice. nice interpretation of the song too.

[jhoeanneredheart16]

love his voice

[thedecagon]

nice song keep ot up,,songs come from within unlike the typical indian music which is the not come from within but only from the tip of the tounge,,,specially their female the voice is harsh and irretatng

[xShad0wGhostx]

He did the song justice for a post rock n roll era singer.

[bdevil4lif]

A voice like that is a gift, jeez! Some people on idol need to get their ears cleaned out. Cream always rises to the top, as they say in my native North Carolina. Great stuff Anoop!

[1pimpsamrazo]

check out my cover of the song anoop style i love his version but it's where as good as him lol but i tried!

[karishmaglitters]

*gasp*....this voice got out 6th place??!!!!..what??!!he shudve been in top 2 with adam...with an adam win of course....cursed voters who vote only for cute guys!!!!...hey anoops hella cute too!!!!

[ak47killer47]

north carolina rules

[rahulvinal]

its sad he didnt make it :(

[nswe2002]

hes a cutie in a nerdy kinda way :)

[Cowboy2314]

i am not a Fan of him but he deserves the top 7 ;)

[bwooom]

YOU SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!how dare you sing this masterpice?

[BeezyKid]

He did a good job, made it his own.

[Sholay59]

bwoom!! go suck ur daddy dick...if u want to use language like that...didnt your parents teach u anything!!! pathetic...Dont jude Anoop, hes way better than u and ur stupid criticism.

[bls5160]

you are the one that sucks - no one is making you listen to this song - just go away

[Sholay59]

yeah bwooom...GO suck your daddy;s dick...

[demirose12]

he is so awesome...

i love you anoop

[Kumanice21]

I love anoop! and kris, adam and danny.. and allison..

[69franco]

he has feelings and emotions in his rendition .he should pursue this gift and show the world this great gift. all he needs is a great original song to be more recognized

[karishmaglitters]

i like his voice better than Kris'...jus my opinion..lol

[bls5160]

me too, he should have won. really, he had me hooked with angel of mine.

[EvaChari]

Me too! I loved him.

[liza0301]

Stunning, tear jerking performance.

[johnbezon]

anoop was the man

[5alidal]

is*

¸„ø¤º°¨ DESAI♥ `°º¤ø„¸if you think ANOOP

¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„ is THE BEST

[purpleloco]

i am missing anoop terribly. i miss his voice so much. oh and the dimples???? waaaaah!!!!

[darenbigdaddy]

anoop is still the best.

[oOheyitsmonicaOo]

i seriously love this boy. ugh he has an amazing voice. And hes beyond cute. it sux that he went home. that was a waste of 2 hours voting each tuesday. oh well..LOVES YA ANOOPY <3

did i mention he was beyond cute?lol just saying

i liked him better when he first auditioned. he was cuter then..to me <3lol

And i believe that adam is gonna win, but i reallllllly want danny to win. he is a straight upp beast.

[dan0h87]

This is the result of too many fucking 12 yr old voting for american idol. be it as it may, i dont think adam lambert deserves to win. He should have been gone the second he opened his mouth the the johnny cash song. it was horrible, hes only gonna win cause he looks like a jonas brother. :)

[dbzcoolman23]

i'm a huge anoop fan and i like adam too. i'm not a 12 year old girl, i hate the jonas brothers and i liked adam's johnny cash cover.

[leumasaid]

he got a great voice but his stage performance is very weak. anyway, this years is all about adam LOL thats a non-stop train =D my fav is Gokey but he is gonna get 2nd place (3rd place: Kris; 4 place Allison)

[PatchLover101]

It's so sad that hes out! The judges made a really bad choice!!!! :(

[laikamq]

why'd they kick him out?

[brucaX10]

delicious..smooth...so romantic.. just awesome. Do not go on idol tour. That will cheapens your stature and talent- they don't deserve a great talent like you. Please shop for a record deal ASAP and become the biggest star on the globe. EVE MARIE CARSON would be proud of you.She is watching from above.

[karishmaglitters]

brucaX10 i totally respect ur opinion..but how in the name of GOD will AI tour cheapen his career...hes gonna get more fans in addition to his already HUMUNGOUS fanbase..and record contractors are gonna race to him for a record deal...this tour is a major start of a great career

[stormingtears]

This is amazing. Wish I could put it on my ipod.

[ulquipanda]

hey i can help you :) pm me and i'll tell you :D

[pupusos]

why can't we watch any of the real live american idol videos anymore?

[mheowwwwww]

yah...i cant find it either...so sad...

[Cherridan]

Wow! This goes to show that his talent onstage translates very well to a record or simply nice listening even without a visual performance. I wonder how "theatrical" performers can translate to an audio recording. Thanks for posting this, craisim000!

[Rayan3016]

Why did he leave.. i LOVED him!....

[sameer725]

cant believe hes out... :(

[ju91]

YEAH I love his voice=D but too bad he's already out=( =(

[TheMisterMcNasty]

yea, even in the first top 3 of the season- Jorge, Lil, and Anoop...anything look wrong with that? and now all white ppl left??? little racism there.

Kris - overrated

Anoop - was underrated

Allison - awesome

Adam - good but full of himself and high pitched screech gets annoying(probably winner though)

Danny - sweet but a little overrated

Matt - ok but tries to hard.

sums it up.

[XPillage]

lmao, Allison is hispanic man.

Anyways it's horrible that Anoop isn't here anymore, he's 10x better than both Matt and Kris.

[jmekenalex4]

matt and anoop were my 2 faves... i was very sad to see anoop go. matt is still n it tho. and if he goes with R&B he'll b ok. we'll c anoop again tho.. i'll most def buy his album.

[Affirno]

I can't believe he's gone.

[ryanlesperance777]

Anoop just got kicked off Idol.. I heard he is go to be beheaded in his native country!?

[3ternal5oul]

fucking douche bag. stop stereotyping and get into the real world and learn about different cultures. fucking stereotypical retards.

[NamaeWaChise]

America is his native country.

[dadeedum]

why can't we watch any of the real live american idol videos anymore?

[middleguy777]

OMG!!! anoop is out!!! i voted for him so much i can't believe it... american idol boycott, anybody, anybody?

[Affirno]

Yes. I'll boycott it. When matt gets voted off, i'll stop though. Stupid fucking matt.

[jumongtae2]

hes better than david archuleta ,, almost he doenst to compare he is one of the best in american idol

[oosum1]

anoop is a cool guy.

[Hadeydeppio]

18664365704 :)

[aku192]

i don't know what, but something about this kid just puts me off. maybe it's his only child attitude or his funny facial expression when his sings. i don't know. i can stand him if i close my eyes though.

[Boggle7]

Maybe you're racist!

[aku192]

i think you are the racist here. if we're talking about a white guy here, would you call me that? i don't think so.

[Boggle7]

I can't tell your ethnicity from text, so yes!

[blondebutterfly84]

I like this version better than the original

[joelvis65]

shut up you fuckin racist. like you can sing any better.

[chocolatina47]

go to fuck your gold fisher stupid!!!!

[chocolatina47]

Go to fuck your grand mother!!! that old bicth waiting for your cock before she dies!!!!

[just1250]

be it originally johnny cash or elvis, anoop's rendition of always on my mind is awesome.like to see this guy on top 3 in AI.

[roselle061302]

he is soooooo cute!

although i dont think he'll win

=(

[truehope09]

lalatshane...very funny :)

[k0urd0nk3y]

hes the only reason iw atch american idol. i reeally want him to win :)

[monman500]

kinda reminds me of elliot yamin <3

[ccbookie6211]

I agree with Simon, this guy went from Zero to Hero.

I thought he would end up like Sanjaya because of his performance of My Perogative, but he has proved even me wrong. I really hope he wins!

[billicious5245]

this song is originally from johnny cash dude. not elvis.

[Vidhole]

Dude.. it was originaly recorded by brenda lee, later made famous by elvis, i dunno bout johnny though

[violetrogue]

videos with still pics and music shouldn't be allowed - or flagged as NOT VIDEO. stupid.

[mdooms76]

Why isn't the video rolling. It's frozen on Anoop's face with his mouth half open?!!!

[lolatshane]

Maybe because it's a fucking picture?

[Luuryp22]

LOL

[Kellster603]

this isnt elvis

[jojobethrox]

this video sucks!!!!!!!!

[babybraindoc]

nice link, PIG

[championxeneixe]

I cannot find this song live...whyyy!?

[chipmunkprincess13]

they all get eaten alive by the rules of youtube...copyright infringement or something...

[invisiblue]

Why do all these fucking videos cut off just before the end, I wish someone would freaking post a link without it cut off at the end, pile of shit vid is pile of shit, and all of them are and will be until someone posts it WITHOUT it cut off.

[Zigzag4me]

WOOOOOOOOOOOORD! What's up with that? It's so irritating.

[indianman28]

yea i kno wut u mean..i saw that this was 1:36 and it cuts off at 1:31 or 32 jus like that others..they dont kno how to post videos..and i bet the person that posted this up will delete this comment and if its not deleted..its cuz he/she read this..good day..1

[apsara81cloud]

I agree with you invisiblue: I think it has do with trying to get around youtube's new pesky copyright rules. If you show the actually video it can get pulled.
