More American Idol video interviews from the Los Angeles Times

Anoop Desai asks Matt Giraud what he loves about Disney. Allison Iraheta makes a cameo appearance! And the best thing about Anoop’s friendship with Matt is when he’s got to tell him where to go. Anoop mimics a clueless Matt wandering around the stage during group numbers. Hilarity ensues.

Lil Rounds and Megan Joy giggle and roll their eyes as they ask each other questions. Maybe they’ll do a duet someday…

Videos after the JUMP…

    Matt and Anoop are too cute! LOL

  • lilbrusc102

    Matt and Anoop play off each other’s sarcasm/sense of humor really well! I’m loving these little interviews!

  • sma11ie

    I loved that group interview the Idols did on Access Hollywood or ET online, and Anoop says he has just one nickname for both Matt and Danny, and that’s “Stupid”. LOL…

  • weareallinnocent

    Matt’s interview of Anoop was hilarious. Love how he made it all about himself. And Anoop thwarted that by being his own best friend. LOL

    Couldn’t bring myself to watch Megan and Lil for some reason. Maybe in a fit of insomnia, I’ll come back. ;-)

  • lizardino

    Okay, so where were Danny, Sarver and Scott? I’m not sure those would be so funny, though…

  • unique28v

    Out of all of these interviews Anoop and Matt’s are the best!! haha. They are witty and funny!

  • girlygirl

    Yeah I’m wondering why no Danny, Scott or Sarver. Maybe they weren’t there on whatever day these were taped?

  • AC

    Is it me or do I just always seem to forget that Scott’s there? I never see him in pictures and all he says on his twitter is that he’s in meetings. really?!

    I like the Matt and Anoop interview. It seems like Matt was trying to get Anoop to say Matt as his best friend when he asked that question. hehe

  • Jx223

    I think that Anoop and Matt are great.

  • shadow-rider

    Anoop interviewing Matt won’t play for some reason. It keeps saying invalid. What a bummer. I’m sure it was great. All these guys are great.

    Does make you wonder why the other 3 weren’t there. Oh well. While I am not a huge fan of all 10 I do like seeing all of them, especially together.

  • Mom in the Suburbs

    In the first interview with Anoop interviewing Matt, WHO is singing in the background (Don’t Stop Believing snippet)??? It’s near the end of their interview, in the last may 35 seconds. It has to be one of the top 10 for the group number.

  • ravengirl

    Mom, we started chatting about the singer you mention in a previous thread. We agreed it was Adam singing “Don’t Stop Believing.” If you listen you can hear him singing ‘born and raised in South Detroit.”
    Guess it’s supposed to be their big finale.
    And several us admitted that we watched this video over and over just to hear these little snippets of Adam joy. How desperate are we?
    Funny also is that comments left on YouTube are mostly cooing over Adam’s voice, not Anoop and Matt, neither who are interesting to me.
    Adam, on the other hand …

  • auntieaimee

    Anoop, Matt, and Allison are all so funny. :)

  • Mom in the Suburbs

    Thanks Raven! I kept thinking I just have Adam on the brain, but I was pretty sure that could only be his dulcet tones. :wub_tb:

  • stripedshirts

    Do have anyone interviewing SCott McIntyre?

  • suebrody

    Now Matt gets to really be a big spender… ;-)

  • girlygirl

    I saw Matt’s sunglasses in one of the pictures he put on twitter — those definitely looked expensive (and overpriced).

    I like Matt and Anoop, but I wasn’t really feeling this little “interview”. I was expecting more somehow. Or maybe I’m just too much of a pure Kradam/Kradison fangirl to appreciate this. Maybe I should watch it again…

    You guys found them before we even posted to our site! These go with my visiting with the idols story i did that’s going to go up in a few hours. It came out of talking with them and them telling me about all the dumb questions they get asked by the media, so i said, how about if i get out of the way and let you interview each other. Unfortunately, time was kinda tight and Michael, Scott and Danny were all elsewhere in the brief time we had to do this.

  • CRB

    Hmmm, that was not very entertaining. Megan is still pretty cute though, that was hard not to notice.

    Yes it’s Adam. Actually that was Allison’s part, where she was taking turns with Kris in the beginning of “Don’t Stop Believing”. Anyway, that was my favorite group performance of the season.

  • flicker

    I love Matt and Anoop together — they are very charming guys.

    I was wondering why there weren’t any interview videos for Danny, Michael and Scott. Thanks for letting us know they weren’t around when the interviews took place.

    Mr. Richard Rushfield
    Los Angeles Times

    Now you know that there are legions who scavenge the virtual world just looking for some snippet of an Adam video, news or anything to do with Adam Lambert.

    It is almost primeval. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s vocal prowess has turned into the call of the wild. Herds, packs, swarms are reacting to it.
    So many are in need of more and more from him. And in the absence of more songs and music videos , any thing that comes from his mouth is a prized acquisition.

    Crazy huh.

  • SarahP

    i loved the part where allison interrupted in the begining…that girl is soo cute with her red pants :) love these videos

    thanks Richard Rushfield :happy_tb:

  • SarahP

    I know some people donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t agree. But I luv this top 10. They are really so cute. Just wish that Alexis was in there.

    ya me too…wish it was a top 11 instead

  • Renina

    Matt and Anoop!! They had me loling throughout their entire interview! I was bummed when it was over, and immediately went back to re-watch it lol. LOVE those 2 and their friendship is awesome :clap_tb:

  • SuzieQ

    Love ANATT together (or MANOOP)! Almost as lovable as KRADAM.

  • BootStar

    Matt and Anoop are a hoot together. OTOH, I couldn’t get through 30 seconds of either of those clips with Lil and Megan.

    Poor Allison. No wonder she spent her time with the guys! :blink_tb:

  • sunny2

    Love Matt and Anoop!! Their friendship is right up there with Kradam, maybe we should call them Matnoop. :lol_wp:

  • Anastasia72071

    Allison’s “LOSER, I’m talkin’ to you!”

    ROFLMAO!!! Too funny.

    Agreed. I think they’re hilarious. JMHO: I think Scott should not have made it to top 10, but Alexis should have.

  • cookcricket

    Agreed. I think theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re hilarious. JMHO: I think Scott should not have made it to top 10, but Alexis should have.

    Yes, but I’ve got to chuckle that Scott was singing in the background and before the “Don’t STop Believing” vid came out, everyone thought it was Adam. :)

    I agree not a bad top 10. Some better than others.

  • bean99

    Loved Anoop and Matt in their interviews. Too funny when Anoop was playing Matt trying to find his spot, lol. They’re obviously good friends although funny when Anoop wouldn’t say Matt’s his best friend on Idol. :laugh_tb:
