Our very own Anoop Desai sung Donna Summer song “Dim All the Lights,” on the American Idol 8 Disco night. Even though it didn’t look like he was at his best but it was more than good to impress all the judges except (You know it right….) Simon Cowell.

This is what all the judges had to say about his performance.

Kara: I thought it was a great song choice! Sort of a ballad feel which is really a strong suit for you and I really liked the beat for me it sounded like it could actually be on the radio! I really liked that! The last two weeks your best performances. You’re really hitting your stride! Nice work, Nice changes, good vocals.

Randy: Little bit of a rough last note.but let me say this man, what I’ve been saying all night. What I’m happy about, is sometimes we forget this is a singing competition, the arrangement and all this kind of stuff, I didn’t really love this one either even though you were trying. Cause sometimes it makes these songs that are cool kind of corny in a weird sort of way. It’s kind of dicey with the arrangement. But dude you can sing also! This top 7 dude is so talented vocally that I’m happy to see your vocals. Me and Kara are sitting here going he hit that note and that note! Anoop! Nice baby nice!

Paula: I got to tell you, Anoop the look tonight, the growth, I got to tell you.. you look fantastic and I can say.. Real mean know how to wear pink! They really do. And no one can deny how beautiful your vocals are when at the start of the song it was just that magical zone in your voice and when it went uptempo I actually saw you enjoying yourself! Smile More! You’ve got beautiful teeth! Smile more! Good job!!

Simon: Once again I’ve got to completely disagree. That was mediocre at best. Sorry I’ve prayed that the tempo wasn’t going to come in and it did, it was a horrible version of that song. And honestly that was your worst performance by a mile.

You please listen to the song below and decide whether the judges were really right in their opinion. You can watch Anoop’s performance of the night below after the jump.
