4:03	[Comment From EdeL] What/Who motivates you to be so soulful whenever you're singing?

Anoop Desai - It's just sort of the type of music that I like listening to. I've always tried to emmulate Boyz II Men and sort of the early '90s R&B groups that I grew up with. But for me it's about conveying emotion when you sing. I think that's the most important thing about singing. I just try to do that every time I get on stage.

4:03	[Comment From showmeyoursoul] Honestly in terms of vocal singing ability how would you rank yourself among the top 13 finalists? Here's a hint. I think you're number one! ;)

Anoop Desai - Well, I think the thing with this group is that we're all so different. So, comparing vocal ability, for me, it doesn't really work that way just because there's such a diversity of styles and diversity of talent. You just have to master your style and be the best you can. I think everyone here was very, very talented and I'm happy to be included in that group.

4:04	[Comment From Gayla Adrianne] Have you started thinking about or writing songs?
