Outside of the their ethnic backgrounds and Sanjaya's bad vocals , doesn't Sanjaya favor Prince back when he first started, mainly with the hair and his femine features

I think so, I started a thread about it too

Yeah...right. Especially with that dumbass ponytail mohawk.

Nope!

HELL NO!!!

ITS A INSULT TO PUT THE TWO IN THE SAME SENTENCE.

Go drink your milk.

I like what Sheryl Crow has to say about the show. It is totaly crap. I'm still amazed Prince was on. And Gwen Stefani needed to do it to save her career.

Every day may be a winding road for Sheryl Crow, but none of them lead to American Idol. The bluesy pop idol had nothing but bad words for American Idol and its contestants in a recent MSNBC interview decrying the contests blatant commercialism and the participants wacky antics. Does this mean we won't be seeing a Sheryl Crow night anytime soon on American Idol? Read on to see what Sheryl has to say about America's number one singing contest.


"Let’s face it, it undermines art in every way and promotes commercialism, I am sad people love it so." Crow said in the interview with MSNBC.

This all seems a little bit hypocritical from someone whose songs have become the accompaniment for car commercials. In the end, when you choose to sign on the dotted line, aren't you really putting your interpretation of 'art' in somebody else's hands?

Naturally this means we won't be seeing Sheryl as a guest judge either, but hey you, never know, that kind of frank opinion might be welcome to the jaded masses of season six trying to figure out just what the contest is all about this year. And imagine what an appearance on American Idol could do for Sheryl's records sales, even if it hasn't really helped Taylor Hicks much.

Speaking of American Idol winners, if anything Sheryl is completely off the mark. American Idol as a commercial venture in the musical aspect of things is nowhere near as successful as it is as a television show. No American Idol contestant has ever turned over album sales proportionate to the shows awesome ratings, or even the record number of votes. And can we please not talk about the failed attempts to cross commercialize? The singing dvd's and, hold me, 'From Justin to Kelly'.

One might say that American Idol has never been about making 'good art' anyways, only making good TV, and in the those terms its kinda hard to argue with its worth when those efforts are judged by the ratings. Something tells me Sheryl Crow maybe just doesn't get it.

Prince was over 40 when he did that -- which makes it even more shameful. Grownass man walkin' around all Topsy-fied.

SS4GOKU said:

never heard him sing tho.. cause I can't STAND American Idol..
but I see him on the previews on comercials.. YEP..
he could be princes kid.. lol..

amorbella said:

My thoughts exactly!

SANJAYA MUST LEAVE ... NOW!

Um, Prince has done a lot of things that a "grownass man" probably shouldn't be doing. That's why he's Prince.

The closest I can get to Sanjaya reminding me of a young Prince, is
when Prince was booed off the stage at that one Rolling Stones concert.

Maybe.

Couldn't have said it any better. Some of y'all are delusional for real.

When I first saw the clip of him, yes, Prince came to mind. Just the look/the hair style.

I watched for the first time, last night. He seems more like he could fit in the Debarge family. Maybe after the vocal coach...somewhere around the second CD, they'll push him in that direction.

pkidwell said:

Yes. It is completely hyprocritical. Unless an artist giving away his/her music for free, I don't see how they can speak out against commercialism.

purplecam said:

oh calm down! it is NOT an insult to say that Sanjaya looks similar to a young Prince. I ain't delusional at all...you just in denial.

No, not at all .....
