mclay and bean99, I think that this possible switch if true( I think it is) will be much better for Michael. When Michael was in group 1, his chances of getting through as the highest male getter or next highest vote getter, weren’t very high.

I could definitely see Danny and Anoop getting those two spots in Group 1. Not to mention that Michael would have to also compete against Steven Foster who IMO, is talented and Ricky Braddy who didn’t have any airtime, but who Paula really likes and who could make it as a wildcard because of her.

IMO, Michael’s chances of getting through weren’t very good in that first group. But now that he’s been switched with Matt B, his chances of making the top 12 are much higher.

As long as TPTB don’t put him in another group with Adam and Matt Giraud, he has a decent shot of getting into the top 12.

If he’s in a group with Adam or Matt, one of them could take the top male vote getter spot and he has a decent chance of getting the next highest vote getter spot.

But IMO, if he’s in a group, with both Adam and Matt, his chances of making the top 12 will be a lot lower and it will be like when he was in the first group with Danny and Anoop. I think that this possible switch could definitely make it a lot easier for Michael to make the top 12.

Thanks for posting Anoop's thesis. Funny, this popped up for me today. Someone should tell those boys that Anoop has already scooped them!

Interesting about the switch, mclay. I think it’s better for Michael Sarver because group 1 is tough for the guys. I like Matt so it’s too bad for him.

I think Anoop is pretty popular. I know he’s a favorite at my work along with Danny.

MJ, could you please investigate something? At the official AI site they have posted Group 1 (Anoop’s group) with Matt Breitzke instead of Michael Sarver:

Which one will actually perform on Tue? And what does this switch mean?

I personally believe it increases Anoop’s chances as well as makes it easier on Danny. But is it better for Michael?

I’m in love with his clef hangers singing…. AI song choice? not so much.

Me neither, Chicksineggz. I love Anoop! He’s my favorite along with Danny. I’m not even sure I had a clue who I liked at this time last season. I think that as long as they both have good performances, both of my favorites will go through this week. I’ll probably give most of my votes for Anoop because if for some reason Danny missed the cut, he’d be a wildcard for sure.

Anoop has a purpose in this journey that he and his group want america to get to know their good friend, Eve Carson, a very nice girl who was murdered back in March 2008, she was the student body president of UNC back then…in all their youtubes, there is a line of “in memory of …”….go Anoop and UNC!!!!!!

I think his voice is amazing.
I’ve never gotten so invested in a contestant pre-semi finals before!
And I’ve definitely never gotten hooked by a contestant right from the audition.

GO ANOOP!!!!!!

I think he has a great voice but ummm there’s something missing for me. Maybe it’s his song choice that I’m not feeling…something anyhow.

Likeable enough, but the voice is nothing special. Given his tough group, I’ll be annoyed if he makes Top 12 over Fowler who has an amazing voice.

Certainly a frontrunner for sure.
