Time to Vote For Anoop Everyone!

Anoop just finished his song a few minutes ago. Anoop sang Monica's Angel of Mine. He did a fantastic job and the crowd and Paula were definitely into his performance. Anoop was dressed in his signature college preppy look with jeans, sneakers and a jacket. He looked very calm and didn't look like his nerves were bothering him at all. He shouldn't be anyway considering how many times he's performed live in front of a crowd. As for Anoop, the song was all about saying "Thanks" to everyone who's been behind him.

As for the judges:

Randy: He thought it was an interesting song selection from Anoop. He said it wasn't his best, but he was still a huge fan and that Anoop Dog is gonna be in the house.

Kara: Praised Anoop but said the song selection was probably not the best for him. She's still a fan though.

Paula: She gave Anoop a standing ovation when he was finished. She said, "America has connected with you. You've got a little Brian McKnight in you, and Anoop Dog's gonna be here for a while!"

Simon: Typical Simon - The songe was too grown up for you. It was too serious. But, you've got the likeability factor going, and your gonna be here for a while.

My favorite moment from his performance: While sitting down with Ryan after the performance, he thanked the band for doing such a great job. That's the sign of a true performer and a class act. You're the best Anoop!
