anoop desai makes it into american idol's top 13!


American Idol just got interesting again. Early on, you know I was pulling for 21-year-old Anoop Desai of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This Desi kid has got some serious soul! He made it to the top 36, but unfortunately didn't get enough votes to make the cut past that round, much to the dismay of many.

But wait! Anoop makes it back in with a wild card! Not the top twelve -- the Top 13. The first-ever Idol Top 13, thanks to the surprise addition of fan-favorite Anoop. So good, they had to make an extra spot just for him: Top 13 finalists chosen on 'American Idol.'
