"I actually told [him] right before the show, 'Hey man, don't mess around with me tonight, come on.' So I was glad it was relatively quick," The 23-year-old Chapel Hill, N.C. student told reporters during a Thursday afternoon conference call.
"And you know, if I had a choice, they would mail me the results!" he joked.

Desai -- who was voted off with Lil Rounds -- says the show taught him to "roll with the punches."
His goodbye song "was the easiest performance I've ever done," he says. "There's something about the burden of having four people sitting in front of you who know are your harshest critics. With that burden relieved, I was free to sing the song with personality which is strange...I was very relaxed and that was the persona that I've been trying to put on stage for a little while."

Rounds -- a 23-year-old mother of three from Memphis -- told reporters saying good bye to the only remaining female in the group, Allison Iraheta, 16, was the hardest part of leaving the show.
"We were crying, like a couple of girls really! That's my baby," Rounds says. "I just told her to hold her head up and keep it going for the ladies. She's such a phenomenal singer."

smcWhat does black crime statistics have to do with the question concerning American Idol? You picked the wrong place to address that issue. Just because you dated a black guy before and he was into those things, doesn't mean all of them are like that! Your comment is very ignorant! You need to make better choices in men. I don't care if they are black, white, purple, or green!report abuseposted April 24, 2009 2:20 PM PDT

graceepeppersmomI wish that Allison would have gone home, as I have been hoping it from the beginning. She does not impress me at all and she knows how to play the camera. I watched her a couple times when she didn't know that the camera was on her and you could definately tell that she isn't the "young and innocent" that she likes everyone to think.report abuseposted April 24, 2009 11:14 AM PDT

MacHey Anoop. Your 15 minutes of fame are up. Get over it already. What a crybaby! ANYONE who goes on that show know's how things are done, so to sit there and %@!*# about it after you get the boot is pretty childish. So what's next for Anoop? Star Search 12?? At least Rounds had the maturity to accept her fate. Didn't like her much when she was on the show but at leasreport abuseposted April 24, 2009 10:44 AM PDT

krystyl cYes Michelle H., it really does take the fun out the show when we know Adam will win hands down. I think there would have been a lot of suspense if he wasnt in it. They are all very talented but they might as well just crown Adam the winner now. I'll miss Anoop he had a beautiful voice. So now it's GO MATT!report abuseposted April 24, 2009 10:43 AM PDT

BallygirlI was disappointed, I don't think Matt should have been saved last week. He's inconsistant and I don't feel the charisma when he sings.report abuseposted April 24, 2009 10:32 AM PDT
