Ok so tour is almost ending and I'm already starting to get really emotional because it seems as if both our journeys are ending (anoop and troopers) Ending in the sense that, the whole phenomena that started our love for anoop is soon closing in on us. It doesn't mean that our support for Anoop will be gone, on the contrary, I hope the support gets stronger than ever

To see the idol journey end gets me emotional for several reasons. Brace yourself, this will be a long one.

I've been watching AI for all 8 seasons and the only time that i remember voting was for Blake Lewis in the finale. I only voted about 5-10 times if remember correctly. Yes, I've had my favorites from every season such as, Kelly, Clay/Josh Gracin, Latoya, Nikko Smith, Carrie, Elliott Yamin, Chris Daughtry, Chris RIchardson..etc etc. I think Elliott has been my most fave of all of them but even then, i never even voted for him or looked him up on the internet or anything. I was just always hoping he'd make it till the end.  

I instantly became hooked to anoop's voice. People all around me were already noticing how much i talked about him haha. I got chills everytime i listened to his music. By the time angel of mine came around,  I vowed to vote non stop.

As the weeks flew right on by, I instantly bonded with other anoop fans. Our love and dedication for him never ceases to amaze me. We've all been so on the ball with things that all the other idol fans have noticed that we are really "strategic and organized" We've stayed classy and respectful of everyoen else around us...and i guarantee you that it doesn't go unoticed.

anoop has some of the best fans ever..I am proud to say that I have met many of them and they have become long-lasting friendships. Our dedication to anoop WILL NOT go down. As i was saying at the beginning of this LONGGG post, I can't believe the idol journey is soon to end. This has literally changed my life (i wont go into details as to how) and I cannot wait to see what Anoop does in the future. Its truly been an honor to be a Trooper. Its been an honor to support my american idol Anoop Desai. Its been an honor to become friends with the best fans ever.

Let us never forget to support our idol. the real work starts AFTER the tour. I hope to see you all continue the dedication for anoop that you've had all season long. So its only goodbye to the idol journey, because the real journey is about to begin.

I love you Anoop Desai!

Great post!  Troopers definitely are the best!

Great great post. So touching story.

Yeah, I believe TROOPERS are the best for life.

Well, life is a journey. We live one moment at a time.

We should never be sad about Anoop bc he is not alone in reaching

his dreams. We are here for him.

Hi troopers!

Gokey fan here, who is trying to defend Anoop in the tour folder.  I attended the Milwaukee concert and wrote a review.

An Adam/Allison fan said how Milwaukee booed Anoop (and insinuated he deserved it because he's arrogant)

I clued her in that Anooooooooooooooop is his fans cheer cry, but some unfamiliar may confuse it with booing but she insists he was booed, which was NOT the case.

Milwaukee looooved Anoop; there were lots of Anoop fans there.  Even tho I'm a Gokey fan I joined in the Anoooooooooooooop cry!

If any of you feel disposed you might want to go defend his honor!
