You may remember Anoop Desai as a top 6 finalist on season 8 of American Idol. Â A fan favorite, show judge Randy deemed him “Anoop Dogg”, a nickname that stuck with the Pop/R&B singer-songwriter.

I LOVE HIS VOICE BUT HE REALLY NEEDS TO KEEP THE GLASSES ON & THE 5 O’CLOCK SHADOW BEARD B/C IT GIVES HIM SOME MUCH NEEDED EDGE……….JENNY JONES!!!!
He sounds real good…He needs some black song writers and I think he can do well. Soul and RnB will serve him well. That falsetto is nice
Anoop’s silky vocals, innovative arrangements, organic lyrics, and dedication to the authenticity of genuinely evocative music for us is the reason so many of us are backing him and haven’t stopped from day one. We believe in Anoop Desai’s voice and vision. Fans worldwide agree… Anoop’s music is AMAZING & after he sings a cover, the original sounds like something’s missing. Smashing stereotypes & blending diverse genres is what Anoop does best!
