Anoop Desai — Always On My Mind — Video MP3 — American Idol 8 Top 11

yeah! we love anoop!

My all time favorite song.. great job!

Naw.. I like Anoop's version better... I however like Elvis's version on youtube when they are recording him singing it with the band...

He was so emotional when singing it, almost brought tears to my eyes and made me want to think twice about how I treat my beautiful wife.

love the studio version

I am a big Anoop fan but I can't stand when people hate on Fantasia. She is as good as it gets and one of the most natural soul singers to ever exist, plain and simple. Her version of this song was fantastic.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZBF02oFvz0" rel="nofollow">Fantasia's full version of "Always on My Mind"</a>

It was NOT Michael Buble’s arrangement - to whoemever claimed that. It sounded quite different than that. Buble is a crooner and used pretty traditional phrasing. Anoop is R&amp;B and used more soulful riffs in his version.

I want to watch Anoop singing you are always on my mind again but it was removed in Youtube already while other contestants are still posted. Can someone explain why? and where can I watch him singing the song again? Thanks

Best of the night so far. Just had to come back. Awesome!

luv luv luv anoop!!!

ahhh i cannot wait until next week. MOTOWN WEEK!! he is gonna kill it!

Can't wait for motown week. HE HAS TO SING "I"LL MAKE LOVE TO YOU" and do his thang like he did with the clef's.

Yay! Anoop redeemed himself y'day.
It was the best performance of the night. Also liked what he was wearing, it was unpretentious and he looked like he was being himself.

that was awesome. i liked angel of mine...i hated his 2 upbeat songs...but this was great! he's got a really nice, faintly smokey-husky quality to his voice that really stands out on ballads...and for some reason, it gets lost when he sings upbeat songs. i don't want him to sing ballads for the rest of the show but he's got to fix that.

I can't stop listening. Go Anoop. This must be my 50th time to visit this site to hear some Anoop. Can't wait for the itune studio version.

Melissa it's an Elvis song. Written obviously about Priscilla. It's been famously covered by Willie Nelson but more famously worldwide by the Pet Shop Boys. Liked the arrangement but the vocals sounded like a cruise ship version full on with the earnest eyes and head wiggle. I find Anoop incredibly cheesy. I mean I understand why people liked it because he like whispering and being sensitive but it really wasn't good.

That was impressive. Best of the night by a longshot.

Brought me to tears and broke my heart! Anoop deserves to be in the competition, and he definitely proved he can make it till the very end! I will keep voting no matter what! :)

ANOOP FTW!

YAY! I am sooooo EXCITED! HE SOUNDED INCREDIBLE!! I cannot wait for the iTunes version! :D

so much better than fantasia.. I can actually listen to it.. even tho I dont like the song.. I might buy it! :D
he was great last night!!!
oh and anyone know the theme week for next week?..

Okay, for the record, I am an Anoop fan. But somehow I find this rendition a little corny and juvenile. Fantasia's version was definitive while Elvis' was untouchable. Elvis' rendition was so meaningful because it had striking relevance in his life, you know, that drama with priscilla and all. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you just don't sing songs like this if you haven't experienced it.

Excellent! I might buy this! :) Oh, so much better than Fantasia's version (blech).

Loved the quality of his voice - I'm definitely gonna buy his cd if/when he decides to record

His recording voice is even better than his live voice. I can't wait for the iTunes studio version. I am expecting to get slayed.

He look gorgeous last night. And lots of close-up shots, those eyes...oohh..those eyes. He was the whole package last night, hoping he'll bring it every week.

*his

kudos to he's stylist. he looks sooo fine :)

can't stop playing all around..
go anoop

I love Anoop and my whole family. We love Anoop, We love Anoop! We love him! He is a true American Idol! Way to go.......

He is so amazing ...OMG..I almost cried today..

Anoop is always on my mind...

my gosh he looked hot tonight. =0

Anoop Dogg showed his talent today. Good for him. Another week safe in my mind.

Goosebumps all over!
Anoop was so amazing. The best vocal performance of the night. I hope to see him in the top 3.

big surprised............anoop awesome...go asian boy.....we luv u

ANOOP!!!!!!!!!! I'm happy he did great.

noop dawg, i was betting for you since audition. i dont even know you... you are my favorite. so puhleezzzz nail it every week... Like this one... I would love you to perform Love Moves In Mysterious Ways one time... have your own rendition... It would be a great song choice i tell you...

Love your performance tonight. Very much....

Love this guy. Amazing vocals. Kudos to Simon for eating his words from last week. His "Yes ma'am" to Paula was just adorable.

Ah, i see the critics are now beating the drums for anoop! But puhleaaaazeeeee vote for him! Dont take ANYTHING for granted! What if sarver pulls one on him! Geez!!!
Good one today anoop, but perfect aint enough...We never lost faith in you! I loved you last week too! Anoop and Matt ruled today! You are the golden voiced boy, 'noop...One such as you comes along verrrrrrrrrrry rarely!

I'm calling it now. Anoop and Danny in the finals. It will not only be interesting to see the trash talk between the largest fan bases, but also to see myself duke it out with my husband. He likes Anoop, I like Danny.

Started crying because the song has a deep meaning in my life but also because he sang it so well. Anoop did amazing tonight.

yes, caw^2, the brows! so powerful! so groomed! so INTENSE!

i also loved how he came out in what plausibly looked like an outfit he would wear in real life (compared to gokey who looked clownish).

it wasn't the Best. Performance. Ever., but it was enough. i love his tone. yayayayayayay

yee ha! Have Anoop in the top 5!

hot hot hot. love anoop.

anoop ! from now on ..choose the right song for the all the weeks...you will..you can..you able ...you willing...you are the idol.

sweet hallelujah! thank heavens.

embrace the brows

*ding.ding.ding* we have a winner.

The kid was amazing tonight-way to go ABCD!

I was okay with his performance until the arrogant statement at the end. I can only imagine the vitriol that would be spewing forth from AI fans if Danny Gokey had uttered the same statement. :(

Woop woop Anoop! Best of the night HANDS DOWN!

ANOOP have a very nice vocal he could sing anything ....that all people can be falling in love with his real amazing voice. Hope Anoop wins, he have a good heart gentleman,respectful singer.
