Sanjaya offers his two cents

USA TODAY staff writer Bill Keveney reports on today's conference call from the ousted American Idol contestant:

Country just wasn't Sanjaya Malakar's calling. The 17-year-old from Federal Way, Wash., felt his rendition of Something to Talk About, combined with some mediocre early performances, proved his downfall Wednesday on American Idol.

"Honestly, I'm not a country singer. I think that took a toll on me. I didn't have enough strong performances to have people forgive me for that," he told reporters during a conference call today. He had wanted to perform Mercedes Benz but says it didn't mesh with Idol's Ford sponsorship.

His emotional hug with LaKisha Jones symbolized his feeling that he was "being torn away from my family."

The soft-spoken teen finds his rise to cultural phenomenon "kind of surreal" and proof of Idol's power. During his run, Sen. Hillary Clinton was asked to comment on him and he was satirized on Saturday Night Live. "That was hilarious. I had to laugh at that one. I love to poke fun at myself," he says.

Of the huge support he received, which propelled him to the top seven despite severe criticism of his singing skills, he says, "It seems kind of unnatural. I'm just Sanjaya from Federal Way."

He was aware of the hostile response, too. "It was kind of impossible not to hear stuff," he says. "I balanced the negative and the positive just to keep myself grounded. I think I've learned not to let any negativity get to you."

He does not believe votefortheworst.com and Howard Stern, who urged votes for Sanjaya to mock Idol, had an influence on his prolonged stay.

Sanjaya, who got a GED to focus on his career (and, he says, because he didn't do his homework), considers Idol an education, a junior and senior year of high school.

He felt more comfortable in his own skin as the show progressed, leading him to be more adventurous with his clothing and hairstyle, which became the talk of the nation. He even joked about the hair phenomenon when he sang his departing song on Wednesday, paraphrasing: "Let's give 'em something to talk about other than hair "

"At a certain point, (hair) kind of became my thing. Everyone looks for something to grab onto for each contestant. I feel my hair was that for me," says Sanjaya, who drew the most attention for his "ponyhawk" but called the curly hairdo for Latin week his favorite. (He thinks his performance of Besame Mucho that week was his best.)

If Sanjaya has his way, Idol is only the beginning. "I'm definitely looking at a music career, but I also want to venture into acting, modeling, possibly Broadway. I want to get the full entertainment career."

He will consider endorsements, but won't take anything just for the money. "My main thing I'm going to look for when I choose endorsements is something I feel strongly about," he says. "I have a feeling if I do that, money will come."

Along with the career, he would like to attend college, mentioning the Berklee College of Music as a desired destination. But first he received his Idol education, a great learning experience even if the teachers, especially judge Simon Cowell, were often harsh.

"From the beginning, Simon saw I had potential. When I didn't fulfill that potential, he was kind of disappointed," Sanjaya says. "He's an amazing person and what he does is awesome. He's very opinionated, but I learned more from him than anyone else when I was on the show."

Although the full experience still hasn't sunken in, Sanjaya has grasped elements of his high profile. "I'm definitely ready to hire a bodyguard. I'm looking into that right now," he says.
