Anoop Desai Gets Key To The Town
Written by: Lauren Hills
Chapel Hill Town Council honored Anoop Desai with a special ceremony at its meeting Monday night.
Fans gathered in council chambers to watch as Mayor Kevin Foy presented Desai with a key to the town. Earlier in the afternoon, UNC gave Desai a homecoming reception in his honor. He almost made it to the top five on season eight of American Idol.
“It’s amazing,” Desai told the crowd at the council meeting. “I’m glad to be home for a little while and this is the certainly the highlight of being home so far, so thank you.”
Fans said they are also excited that Desai is back in Chapel Hill.
“Famous people sometimes come back and you get the feeling they have a big head about stuff, but he’s very humble and seems like a real cool guy,” said one fan.
Desai, a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, is putting the rest of his education on hold for right now. He said he wants to focus on his music career, building on his momentum on American Idol.
