It is no longer the magic 12 for American Idol. Anoop Desai is joining the twelve finalsts chosen from the three elimination rounds with his selection from the wild card that gave eight contestants a second chance for the crown.
Here is the news:
When does 12 equal 13? Apparently, the answer is “When 'American Idol' selects its finalists.”
Thursday’s wild-card round was supposed to send three singers on to complete the traditional group of 12 finalists. But a last-minute curveball delivered by Simon Cowell offered up extra-special news for one of the audience favorites.
Lucky 13: Anoop Desai suffered the unkindest cut in his semifinal heat, falling about 20,000 votes short of Michael Sarver for the final spot. It looked for a moment like Thursday would be déjà vu all over again, as Desai stood onstage with Matt Giraud and saw Giraud celebrate at what he assumed was his expense. But just as he was about to shake hands and congratulate the finalists, Simon stopped him in his tracks. It’s a 13-singer finals this year, and Anoop Dog is the lucky beneficiary.
