Anoop is picking music over UNC.
Anoop Desai, the Chapel Hillian who got booted from the wildly-popular American Idol talent reality show last night, is now saying he plans to bow out of grad school to pursue a music career.
Desai is a graduate student at UNC-CH studying folklore, a passion of his since he wrote his undergraduate honor's thesis on southern barbecue.

Go for it! Folklore will always be there, music will not

We think you are a fabulous person and a wonderful singer. Remember where you came from - and when you are ready - come back to where the sky is Carolina Blue!
