A 21-year old college student from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Anoop Desai auditioned for American Idol Season 8 in Kansas City, Missouri. The song was "Thank You" by Boys II Men. The four judges were undecided about Desai and contestant Matt Giraud, and finally, admitted both leading to the first ever Top 13 instead of the traditional Top 12. Though Desai was in and one of the 36 contestants, his journey afterwards was not easy. Last week, he was almost getting ruled out. But his fantastic performance on the Grand Ole Opry-themed show did wonders to his career in Americal Idol. The judges had no choice but to save him after hearing his magical "Always on My Mind" in a slow-down tune. Now, he is among the finalists, the Top 10.
