Anoop Desai dims the lights

Bookmark and Share

This was "Disco Week" on "American Idol," and Chapel Hill's Anoop Desai got a primo performance slot. He closed with Donna Summer's "Dim All the Lights," and drew a wide range of opinions from the judges. Kara DioGuardi told Desai that he'd done his best performances of the competition the past two weeks, while mean judge Simon Cowell said this was Desai's "worst by a mile."

Voting goes on until 10 p.m. Eastern time, and Desai's number is 866/436-5707. Vote early, vote often -- after last week's judge's save, two out of seven performers are going out this week.
