Totally agree with the judges on this one. Was very karaoke and did not show case his talent. I knew Simon would regret asking him on as number 13. I think he’ll be gone next week.

um..um…umm….bottom3..you don’t touch this tune!

He’s NOT in danger, but that was terrible and so far / by far – the worst. He’s got a pretty decent fan base.

DJ Jayito on March 10, 2009 at 9:20 pm

Exactly what I was going to say…they threw him under the bus, ran over him, backed up, and ran over him again! Not that they didn’t have reasons to though.

DonMI on March 10, 2009 at 9:21 pm

Screw the judges, i liked his performance and am voting for him

I’m disappointed. That was pretty dreadful!

For God sake, vote for Anoop, America. I can’t loose him this soon.

november_rain on March 10, 2009 at 9:22 pm

I know he has massive tons of fans but that was plain bleh! His performance was one of the worst of the night.

Kovacs on March 10, 2009 at 9:22 pm

He’s cute as heck, but that wasn’t good.

Laureldj on March 10, 2009 at 9:23 pm

He probably should be sent home after that, but won’t be. It’s too early. They should eliminate 5 the first week. Haha

nick.todd on March 10, 2009 at 9:23 pm

the performance was really karaoke

Lancer Jorge on March 10, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Why Anoop honey? WHY?

I will do everything I can to save him, but this better be a one time only crap performance.

Gracienna on March 10, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Now *that* was embarrassing.

Jodi on March 10, 2009 at 9:28 pm

Save Jorge Nuñez instead please!!

Paulo on March 10, 2009 at 9:28 pm

Gosh I was hoping he would sing a balad song were he is more dominant! I’m sure people will save him for this week.

Alex on March 10, 2009 at 9:28 pm
18

I cant believe how many people are so influenced by the judges. He was pretty entertaining and far from being the worst.

Kanon on March 10, 2009 at 9:29 pm

that was really BAD!

KRISALLENFANdotCOM on March 10, 2009 at 9:30 pm

what’s the text number for anoop?
thanks

olive on March 10, 2009 at 9:49 pm

I haven’t watch the performance yet but based on the mp3 i listen to just now I think it was alright…not as dreadful as the comments I read…

Honey AJ on March 10, 2009 at 9:49 pm
22

Well I liked it. I never liked the original version, so I guess that’s why.

pia on March 10, 2009 at 9:49 pm
23

Rickey, I know you love this guy but I have never been all that impressed with him. He is good yes but just good. Not phenomenal, not stand up and cheer excellent. Just good.

Becki on March 10, 2009 at 9:50 pm
24

Screw the judges. I am voting for him.

Gemini10 on March 10, 2009 at 9:53 pm
25

Wow. That entire performance WAS karaoke from start to finish.

Even though I believe that Anoop CAN sing, he is overrated & seems unable to break out of this ‘tight 80’s R&B time-warp’ by failing to modernize dated songs.

aprylette on March 10, 2009 at 9:58 pm
26

They gave Anoop’s song to Danny. He would have killed P.Y.T. asw he would have had the moves.

chessguy99 on March 10, 2009 at 10:11 pm
27

He was awful. Give him props for taking a risk, but he does not have the right kind of vocals or look to sing that song. It’s not that he can’t sing, it’s just that you just have to have that certain attitude/aggression in your voice for a song like that and well.. he doesn’t have it.
It was like watching a puppy try to be tough.

Shollia on March 10, 2009 at 10:11 pm

Lousy song choice for Idol. Boring. Very karaoke.

druzilla on March 10, 2009 at 10:11 pm
29

He’s done. Not even the judges will save him tomorrow night with the strings they are promising to pull.

mateo on March 10, 2009 at 10:13 pm
30

Anoop is gone whatsoever…even if fans will not vote him off, the judges will pick him to be gone…i guess the change they mentioned for tomorrow’s show is the judge has the choice for the first one to be gone…so sad, he is such a good singer…just a wrong song…nobody can touch that song including all contestants in 8 seasons…

sosad on March 10, 2009 at 10:13 pm
31

Sorry I’m just confused about the David Hernandez thing. He went home at the start of the top 12, wouldn’t that make it #12?

Ally on March 10, 2009 at 10:17 pm
32

I think what is gonna happen – the Surprise… They can OVERTURN America’s choice if they feel it’s WRONG. They will pick someone else in the bottom to go home. It’s the “Anti-Daughtry Going Home Too Early Veto Power.” LOL I don’t think that the judges can pick someone NOT in the bottom 3 to go home. That wouldn’t make sense.

DJ Jayito on March 10, 2009 at 10:23 pm
33

I think the problem is Anoop has never lived up to his clef hangers performance in youtube. We keep on waiting for him to give an outstanding performance, but so far I haven’t seen it.

november_rain on March 10, 2009 at 10:23 pm
34

I’m not sure what is being discussed about David Hernandez, but YES – he went home in 12th place. First out.

DJ Jayito on March 10, 2009 at 10:24 pm
35

I have been trying to vote for Anoop all night; and the operator keeps coming on saying that ‘your number cannot be completed as dialed or the number has been disconnected.’ I know that I am dialing the right number!!

1-866-436-5708

supershopper on March 10, 2009 at 10:24 pm

I don’t know, he sounded ok to me.

Yani on March 10, 2009 at 10:26 pm
37

Okay, I’m getting through now. I don’t know if that is a good thing or not.

I want to give Anoop a chance to shine.

Adam is a shoo-in, probably to in the entire thing.

Has anyone noticed that the judges are going overboard this season with their favorites?

supershopper on March 10, 2009 at 10:27 pm
38

Okay I’m a little too depressed for Anoop to comment on the performance itself, but did anyone else notice how incredibly hot he looked?

doroshmoro on March 10, 2009 at 10:29 pm
39

this number is correct, i dont have the problem…I know Anoop is not the best singer of this bunch,but he is an amazing singer, a nice guy,i have to save him for a couple of weeks

sosad on March 10, 2009 at 10:30 pm
40

And yes, I definitely felt like the judges were being extremely obvious about their favorites.

And Paula was totally drunk.

doroshmoro on March 10, 2009 at 10:31 pm
41

supershopper make sure you dial at the correct time slot for your time zone. If you are in west coast you need to wait till 10 PM PST until they open the line. You have the correct number. Just dial during the appropriate window tiem for your time zone.

Kanon on March 10, 2009 at 10:35 pm
42

I’ve always said that he doesn’t deserve a spot in the top 13, I’ve liked him during Hollywood week, but after that, he was disturbingly terrible.

But he is the David Archuleta this season, so hopefully he can make it to top 4 or possibly into the finale even delivering mediocre performances week after week since he does have a huge fanbase afterall.

I wish America would listen with their ears for once. Geez.

Denim on March 10, 2009 at 10:40 pm
43

david hernandez sang 8th on top 12, and he was eliminated the following night. i think that’s what rickey meant.

i didn’t watch the video, but from the mp3, it wasn’t awful, but it was still one of the weakest of the night. i think he’ll barely avoid the bottom three. lord knows he has a LOT of fans.

john t. on March 10, 2009 at 10:41 pm
44

I was not crazy about this performance. I hope he makes it because I think he has alot to offer.

Thanks, guys. I am on the East Coast. I have been getting through and voting. I don’t know if that is a good sign, though. I haven’t gotten a busy signal once!

I also want to give him a chance. He needs to pick the right songs, not the songs that he thinks that the judges want him to do.

supershopper on March 10, 2009 at 10:55 pm

SAVE ANOOP! 1-866-IDOLS-08

Rickey on March 10, 2009 at 11:02 pm
48

LOL Rickey! I am sure we will save him. Some of them were worst than him but again screw the judges.

Gemini10 on March 10, 2009 at 11:08 pm
49

I thought Anoop looked great and sang really well. And at least it was a Michael Jackson song we’ve heard before. I was shocked at how forgiving they were to some of the others whose performances were completely and utterly forgettable: ie, Scott and Jorge, in particular– along with oil rigger guy. I can’t even remember what they sang. Megan Joy was not good, but at least she’s gorgeous.

runforfun on March 10, 2009 at 11:09 pm

Denim….are you kidding me? I am a huge fan of Anoop and even though I agree that he did not perform well tonight, I do think it had a huge part to do with the song choice. He does amazingly well with R&B songs and he should stick to that. However, by comparing him to Archuleta I’m a little confused as to what you are trying to say…. Archuleta did not have mediocre peformances….he was incredibly amazing. Also, when David performed more up tempo songs he did not do as well as when he was sitting at the piano belting out those amazing melodies. Anoop just has to decide what kind of artist he is and go with that. Oh and David Cook won idol but he has had what one single since then, which comes nowhere near the success Archie had with “crush”. So I suggest you check YOUR ears.

Bella on March 10, 2009 at 11:17 pm

Aww. ANOOP!
West Coaster.. will vote lilke crazy!

My advice: Stop arguing since you have no idea what you’re talking about, all you’ve said are the exact opposite.

Thanks.

Denim on March 10, 2009 at 11:29 pm
53

honestly, if the judges are going to have a say in who goes home tomorrow, it doesn’t matter how many times we vote for anoop. unless he can avoid being in the bottom 3, i’m pretty sure the judges will give him the boot. i so love anoop but that song was just sooooooo wrong for him.

Dawg on March 10, 2009 at 11:35 pm
54

his performance was great!
i love anoop and please vote for him.
please save anoop.
he has more in him, more potentials.
i think he deserves one more chance.
so lets save him.:)
vote for anoop.

1-866-IDOLS-08

Go Anoop! Go Anoop! You can make it!

janne on March 10, 2009 at 11:42 pm

Re: Holly

I agree with Holly.
Anoop still has a lot to offer!:)

Let’s vote for Anoop!

janne on March 10, 2009 at 11:46 pm
56

Um, I hate to break it to you Bella, but David Archuleta sangs “We Can Work It Out” during the first week of the finals last year.

Methinks you should watch that one again on youtube before you say “Archuleta did not have mediocre peformances”

Trav on March 10, 2009 at 11:59 pm
57

AT this point dialidol.com has Anoop at #5. The bottom four are Jorge, Allison, Jasmine and Kris. Of course, there are no guarantees. We’ll see if this thing is rigged. You know the judges won’t let their star, Allison, go home.

supershopper on March 11, 2009 at 12:01 am

I bet Ricky Braddy wouldn’t have sucked . . .

∞Luminosity∞ on March 11, 2009 at 12:01 am

I think the judges need to back the h e double hockey sticks off and let us decide things as it should be. They have interfered enough in this process. It is our turn as is promised in the whole AI schtick!

Shawn

Shawn on March 11, 2009 at 12:03 am

You are right. I think Ricky Braddy would have been good.

supershopper on March 11, 2009 at 12:04 am
61

If we get over the weird song choice, THE VOCALS SOUNDED GOOD! I mean, this is a singing competition? He has a great voice and hopefully he can stay for next week’s Motown theme and kill it!

Julie on March 11, 2009 at 12:07 am
62

He is a way better singer than that! but the judges were NOT fair at all. It wasn’t his best of course, he could do much better, but Simon was pretty harsh in my opinion. I just want Anoop to stick around so he can show the judges he really deserves to be there! That song did not showed his abilities as a singer..
anyways, GO ANOOP!

monika on March 11, 2009 at 12:10 am
63

SAVE ANOOP!! The judges were way hash! They expect perfection because he’s a wild card! He was way entertaining! 08!

Lahela2000 on March 11, 2009 at 12:14 am
64

Okay, my guess is he did not pick this song himself. We KNOW how this works now. If you really want to hear him with some great vocals, check the videos I found over the weekend with his college a capella group the UNC Clefhangers. They must have 50 videos up. Here is one of him singing lead on Brian McKnights “The Only One for Me” He needs to sing songs like this. Again we KNOW from idols who have been there before. They do not have complete control over what they sing.

here is the link to the song I mentioned. Hope its okay Rickey!

the upbeat song for him would have been P.Y.T., dammit! and again, we have no idea that anoop was actually the 13th pick. anoooooppppp!

amber on March 11, 2009 at 12:17 am
66

How can they say a song is untouchable! There is no song that is untouchable! They totally distroyed him onstage, while everyone else got a pass.

Please save Anoop!

Lahela2000 on March 11, 2009 at 12:20 am
67

his little drawl came out tonight too. adorable.

amber on March 11, 2009 at 12:27 am
68

damn, that was a very mediocre performance today. I wish he would stick to more soulful R&Bish songs, he has to blow away the judges with his vocals.
I voted for him, hope he sticks around for a couple more weeks at least.

noopertrooper on March 11, 2009 at 12:33 am

i don’t find this bad at all. I liked his voice! He just aint a michael jackson kinda guy, that’s all.

arona on March 11, 2009 at 12:36 am

dialidol has him 5th and safe!! WooHOO!!!

AI Fan on March 11, 2009 at 1:27 am
71

puh-leaze! I don’t get what the fascination is with this guy. He picks the worst songs to sing, and he’s not that good of a singer. Why keep him? It’s like another Sanjaya. No thanks.

shortydmic on March 11, 2009 at 1:49 am
72

I completely agree with shortydmic. Well said.

Denim on March 11, 2009 at 1:52 am
73

anoop wasn’t so bad tonight, ‘beat it’ is just really a bad song choice for him.

i’ve heard of his covers of mary j. blige’s “be without you”, maroon 5’s “she will be loved”, and j. timberlake’s “my love” on the clefhanger album, and they were all absolutely great!

i think it would have worked better if he did: (1) PYT (PRETTY YOUNG THING); (2) I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU; or (3) I WILL BE THERE..

popbeat on March 11, 2009 at 1:56 am
74

We love Anoop Dawg.

Gemini10 on March 11, 2009 at 1:57 am
75

Nope. Face it, he sucks.

shortydmic on March 11, 2009 at 2:21 am
76

My Pregogative and now Beat It? Goodbye Anoop. Another spot wasted. Seems like a nice guy, wish he could sing better, but really just a waste of spot. I believe they’re looking for a guy to play Slumdog Millionaire 2, so try your luck there.

Jologs25 on March 11, 2009 at 2:22 am
77

Sorry! I’m not trying to be mean, but why should we give him more chances, when there are clearly other people that are better than him and deserve to be there longer? I mean they picked him over Ricky Braddy. How was that fair?

shortydmic on March 11, 2009 at 2:23 am
78

ricky’s voice is great..but easily forgettable. it’s nothing more like listening to a karaoke show..sorry. try other really ‘exciting’ voices, those that really catch attention. try the quirky voice of megan joy corkrey, not a big fan of hers, but her voice has the x-factor.

and yup, i believe a ‘dark horse’ is up this season

popbeat on March 11, 2009 at 2:41 am

Anoop just went green on dialidol.com! OMG WE RULE!

Rickey on March 11, 2009 at 2:59 am
80

im supporting Anoop based on his footage on his clef clips online.

this performance was good. The judges are harsh on Anoop. He needs to hold his ground..instead of give in so quickly when the judges say their piece.

dialidol.com has him safe..which I hope stays true so he can prove him self worthy of any rewards.

tbsecrets on March 11, 2009 at 3:00 am
81

get it staight guys,it was not anoop who took ricky braddy’s spot. ricky deserves one spot in top13, so does anoop.

sosad on March 11, 2009 at 3:15 am
82

@SOSAD: correct. sorry i didn’t say that clear..*lol*

@RICKEY: that is soo great! i have a question though: is it true that the top 13 stuff is not really the ‘twist’ for this season? that the votes only determine the week’s rankings, and the judges get to determine who will be out of the competition from the 3 (or so) lowest vote-getters??

popbeat on March 11, 2009 at 3:32 am
83

He didn’t suck. I enjoyed it. I never liked Beat It, but I’m liking it now after Anoop’s version.

BTW, Anoop didn’t take Ricky’s spot. Ricky didn’t have one to begin with.

paige on March 11, 2009 at 4:25 am
84

Simon & ryan were way out of line .building anoop up one day & destroying the very next. making it sound like they did him favour giving him 13th spot when it was planned all along. i can’t believe paula threw him under the bus like that & simon stabbed him then randy & ms cara twisted it one by one ,gosh i remember the crushed look on anoop’s face.just when he thought he gave a good perfomance.as far as i am concerened anoop should give all five of them the finger & say “beat it” and walk out of this mess.

bably1 on March 11, 2009 at 5:02 am
85

i think his performance is not that bad.and it was entertaining.:)

episac on March 11, 2009 at 5:05 am
86

it was not as bad as how the judges described it. i’ve seen far worse performances in past seasons. just probably not the best song choice.

angelicious on March 11, 2009 at 5:25 am
87

ohmygosh. the cartoonized version of anoop is so adorable! is there a bigger version of that one, rickey?

zecodenameizninja on March 11, 2009 at 10:34 am
88

I personally do not think Scott should be in the running. You guys are cutting down Anoop; however, I agree with the posters who praise his abilities, especially with his a capella group, Clef Hangers. Anoop has the right stuff. He just needs to put it all together.

And, yes, it is a fact that producers manipulate this show. Singers are oftentimes denied their song choice and forced to sing something less suitable. That’s really not fair. David Archuleta was made to sing songs that he didn’t want and not allowed to make the song choices more modern.

This show manipulates the viewing audience. Some just don’t realize it. My husband poo-poo’s the conspiracy theories. He doesn’t understand that “reality” shows are not really “reality.” They are all manipulated to some extent. After all, they are television shows. Plus, the producers are in it to make money. That’s what it is all about.

supershopper on March 11, 2009 at 10:35 am
89

I think the AI producers want that song to be sung by anoop whether he dont like it……

he should pick HUMAN NATURE i know he can sing well way better than matt…

so far he is not just the one who perform bad and boring many of them including jasmine, megan, and jorge…… jasmine sounds he is talking not singing

khim on March 11, 2009 at 10:35 am

i thought he was okay. obviously not the best but not as bad as the judges made it out to be.

ish on March 11, 2009 at 1:07 pm
94

Anoop is really really good he just sings like Michael Jackon. he have the voice…..please saved ANOOP HES a cool singer …see his singing group CLEF HANGERS in utube his always leading the songs…he have that amazing voice !!!!!!!!!

ANOOP fan on March 11, 2009 at 2:06 pm
95

I didn’t think it was as bad as the judges said. Yes, he did not do anything new with the song, but it was okay.

besos on March 11, 2009 at 2:22 pm
96

Anoop’s voice is “untouchable”. I have listened to that mp3 alone many times now. He’s lovely! Adam Lambert was screechy and wayyyyy over the top. But of course michael and he have the same kinda “vibe” going, so it makes sense that he’s able to pull it off. With regard to anoop, C’mon, the judges haven’t got it right. So, the critics can just “Beat it!”

arona on March 11, 2009 at 2:53 pm
97

I think people are being biase. idk why but I don’t see what the big deal is with this guy. He does not have a great or special voice. It is just ordinary. The judges are right. You don’t pick a song like Beat it, cause only MJ can do that. You don’t touch songs like that. Michael has a unique voice so when someone else does, they are going to have to do something special to it, just David Cook did to Billie Jean last year. If Anoop did something like that, than it would had been awesome, but he didn’t and he didn’t show his range on the song either. 3 bad songs already? Why should he be there still? Cause of his looks? Ethnicity? No It’s a singing competition and more than that, it’s competition to find the best artist out there. Remember someone will go home with a million dollar recording contract. David Cook, Archuleta, and even Jordin Sparks were able to get it cause they are true artist. They fit into whatever it is they do, but Anoop, he just looks like an ordinary singer from your college choir.

shortydmic on March 11, 2009 at 3:29 pm
98

btw he’s not better than Matt.

shortydmic on March 11, 2009 at 3:30 pm
99

Anoop was not as bad as the judges said.He is an amzing singer. Watch his clef hanger video’s. I hate the judges. They know lot of people will jump on the bandwagon.I am smelling racism here. Are the judges using him? He should quit then. He does not need this rigged show to full fill his American dream.

Samy on March 11, 2009 at 4:57 pm

The “Beat It” performance was not bad at all! It simply did not highlight his vocal abilities ’cause the song is not flowy and smooth.
The judges and power of persuasion.
Argh.

Ann on March 11, 2009 at 7:20 pm
101

i have mixed feelings about anoop. i really liked his voice on Angel of Mine, but ever since then, he’s just been unconvincing to me as a singer. his stage presence is off, it’s like he’s trying to imitate something, it doesn’t feel natural. and i didn’t think he sounded that great on this or on last week’s. and he has no identifiable style or sound either so it’s hard to really…”get” him.

Nick on March 11, 2009 at 8:48 pm
102

Denim,

All I have said are the exact opposites?? You are the one who seems to have no idea what you are talking about lol.

Trav,

Um..I never said that he didn’t sing that song. If you read my post carefully you will see that I said he did better when he was NOT singing up tempo songs. He was nervous and he forgot the words which he never did in any other performance and he made up for that one which I can hardly classify as mediocre.

Bella on March 11, 2009 at 11:12 pm

shortdymic. If u are talking of ethnicity and groupism, adam lambert also has certain “groups” rooting for him. So don’t bring ethnicity or anything in here. Anoop’s a great singer period. You don’t need to imitate michael jackson, he just sand the song the way he knows it. Again, its not a song suited for his personality, but his vocals were still good, listen to the mp3. The judges were over reacting. And as for 3 “lost” songs as you say…How come michael sarver is in there? Maybe the “welder” population is helping, eh?

And how come ricky braddy aint in, either? Maybe the entire US population “bought” into the theory perpetuated by the judges that he doesn’t have personality! I like his personality much better than Lambert’s over the top persona. And he sang very well too…Jeez! They get more air time, that’s all. AI likes the interesting characters that’s all, and if they can sing decently they are in. The rest is upto the fans, i guess!

And shortdymic. Anoop’s voice aint “ordinary”! He’s going strong because of his masculine, yet calming and soothing voice and mature persona! Good lord, maybe you like the screechy, shouty, headache inducing styles. That’s your vision. Not necessarily ours. It certainly is a challenge to sing “Beat It” without the “technological” backup and put up a show at the same time. He rose up to it, quite well. A song’s worth must be judged by its level of difficulty too.

He is the next Sanjaya, no doubt.

Denim no you’re the next sanjaya since you seem obsessed with bringing his name up all the time for no reason

Wow, I am happy I discovered this Rickey.org site from the recommendation of someone on facebook. Very interesting site if you are a fan of AI,which I am. Regarding Anoop, I really think he has tremendous talent. Hope everyone voted and gave him another chance despite his bad song choice. A better song for him last night would have been “Rock With You”.

All you people are sheep .anoop must be bad because judges said so, well judges had it in for him from the day one.he performed excellently (better than MJ) ,like a man would sing not a girl.Try listening to the studio version .it’s brilliant.anoop is the most talented in that otherwise lousy group.

Denim please stop posting as your comments are a useless waste of space. Anoop and Sanjaya are nothing alike; Anoop has talent and Sanjaya well…didn’t.

i both love sanjaya and anoop but they have different styles. please don’t compare them just because of their common ethnicity. thanks

I was just kidding, he does remind me of Sanjaya a little bit and besides Sanjaya does have talent, he is more of an entertainer just as Anoop was doing this week, Anoop is best at slow songs though.

Sorry if i offended anybody, geez, I was just playing around, you don’t have to take it seriously.

Denim on March 12, 2009 at 10:31 am

yeah, well that’s probably something’s wrong with your eyes. (And Denim, i am also playing around, so dont get offended). Jeez! Ppl talking about “ethnicity” going for anoop, as if the overrated Lambert or Danny dont have things and groups working to their favor. One because of his personal orientation and the other because of his circumstance. And the slumdog myth. Keep it up fans. AI judges have a way of confusing the masses and the contestants. And America, stop listening to Simon!

I think Sanjaya was more of an entertainer (think fauxhawk) and Anoop’s there cos he can sing dammit. Nothing more, nothing less. His voice is golden!

And that studio version – absolutely mind boggling. Were the judges drunk?

I totally agree..
Anoop is my favorite.. Hewill shine now tht he has a chance!– I was SO afraid yesterday for him… but Yes he does have a great fan base. and Two– he was up against Jorge.. I knew for sure Jorge was out first.

Cheers on you wanting Anoop saved.
I wanna hug you

I just want to point out the Jorge was definitely NOT better than Anoop, and the judges were soooooo much nicer to him. Paula even said he deserved to be there, after Simon said he regretted letting Anoop into the finals. Ridiculous. I can get on board with the song being untouchable, but Anoop’s voice sounded GREAT, even if it didn’t do the song justice. Jorge sounded like a lounge singer. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have been that nice to Jorge, just that they were WAY harsh on Anoop. Again, ridiculous.

Anoop is my fave!! He has a great voice – but hasn’t quite shown it on AI yet. The judges like him showing energy, so that’s what he tried to do. And then they threw him under the bus! Anoop was the last to choose his song so there wasn’t much left. And if they don’t want anyone doing “Beat IT” then it shouldn’t have been on the list! I thought it was pretty good! Not the best, but still good. The studio version is great!! And Anoop is a class act! Southern gentleman! I ADORE him!!
Check out Anoop’s voice by looking up Clef Hangers on YouTube!! Those guys are all amazing!!
