NDRU said:

the justin wannabe. his voice was all sortsa wrong...

Sanjaya really needs to 'clean the kitchen up' before he tries to sport his hair like that...

sosgemini said:

yeah, I don't like either of them but the one you hate makes more entertaining choices IMO where the curly head guy has gotten really boring (though his voice is much nicer)

Haley is packing her bags tonight.

more sanjaya-y goodness (w/ vid!!)

Phil, Haley, Chris S

Chris S goes home

Though he was not my favorite...I thought he was funny and sang much better than Phil or Sanjaya...when he kept on with the beat....

I cant believe Sanjaya was not in the bottom 3...or maybe I can...there's always the one that sails through while others who have more potential drop like flies (i.e. Carmen, Scott Savol, John Stevens, Bucky)...if it's a pattern..he will likely stay until about week 6 or 7 then get booted off...

Is Howard Stern Behind Sanjaya Malakar's Staying Power On 'Idol'?
Shock jock, VotefortheWorst.com support this season's underdog.

It's not as though Sirius Satellite shock jock Howard Stern has been taking credit for Sanjaya Malakar's startling longevity on the sixth season of Fox's "American Idol," but boy, would he like to.

That's right, folks — Malakar has himself an unlikely campaigner in the "King of All Media," who's been advising his fans to vote in jest for the first contestant of Indian descent to make it into the show's top 12.

Stern — a self-professed "Idol" junkie, much to the chagrin of his mostly male audience and buoyant sidekick, funnyman Artie Lange — has thrown his full support behind the 17-year-old finalist, considered by many to be this season's underdog. The mediocre Malakar has evoked comparisons to third-season hopeful William Hung, and each week, he finds himself accused of slaughtering yet another song.

And that's precisely why Stern would like to see Sanjaya assume the "Idol" title from the affable, salt-and-pepper-pelted Taylor Hicks. Of course Stern's espousal is largely disingenuous; after calling Malakar his "favorite contestant" recently, Stern confessed he'd like to see Sanjaya win because he's the least talented of this year's finalists.

Likewise, Malakar is the "Idol" aspirant of choice on the Web site VotefortheWorst.com, which encourages its visitors to vote for the show's least talented contestants in hopes of ultimately swaying the final vote and derailing the reality-TV franchise altogether. On Tuesday (March 20), Stern interviewed VotefortheWorst.com founder Dave Della Terza about his Malakar mission.

Stern — who has theorized Malakar's staying power on the show has hinged on phoned-in votes from India — may just be doing all of this to raise the ire of regular caller and resident "Idol" expert Eric Lynch, known to fans as "Eric the Midget."

Lynch, who claims he has been voting for 27-year-old Lakisha Jones, fears Malakar's inclusion on this summer's impending "American Idol" tour and promises to call Stern and gloat the second Sanjaya is given the old heave-ho. Stern has said he's even toying with the idea of sending show writer Benjy Bronk out on the streets of Manhattan with a sign, urging the public to vote for Sanjaya.

With more than 6 million subscribers signing up for Sirius Satellite service since his arrival, it's possible Stern's influence will be felt. But Maria Milito — a New York radio host who appeared on MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" earlier this month, touting herself as the " 'American Idol' Princess" — doubts Stern's audience is carrying out his orders.

"I don't think that he can do this," she said. "Compared to the days when he was on free radio, it's different now. I don't think [Malakar is still in contention] because of Howard. I think [Malakar will get booted] eventually — this kid won't last."

While an improbable campaign, Stern did mobilize his audience enough to land repeat guest Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf onto People magazine's list of most beautiful people in 1998. Stern called on his audience to vote for Hank, and they inadvertently hijacked the poll, giving him the edge over Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney and others.

Sanjaya! Sanjaya!
Gonna set this place on fiyah!

I don't think so.

NaughtyKitty said:

I saw that the other day, and I just couldn't believe it! That guy has a lot of time on his hands to come up with so many rhyming words for Sanjaya!

All this contorvesy with Stern and votefortheworst.com site and the like trying to sabatoge the voting, I can see the folks at American Idol changing the way voting is done is the future.

Two options are to charge a small "fee" for voting , which would avoid ballot box stuffing.

Another option would be to keep voting free but put a part of the decision in the hands of the three judges. Where either the judges announce their bottom 3 for the week , then putting it up for Americas vote between those 3 or counter to that America votes as usual for any contestant and then when the bottom 3 is announced Randy , Paula and Simon choose the one of those 3 to let go.

but this isn't the first year that a spoiler has been thrown in...as more people get voted off it makes it harder for someone like Sanjaya to stay...he will eventually be voted off...

who was the other one that votefortheworst helped out? it was that white nerdy dude. anyhoo, why do i know so much about this show yet rarely ever watch it? actually, i usually just tune in for the last ten minutes of the results show and thats about it.

He was even worse than Sanjaia. He was boring. At least Sanjaia cracks me up.

There's no doubt that there's some sabotage going on, though. What's the most popular part of the show? The horrible auditions. We love to see a train wreck!

Ousted 'Idol' defends Sanjaya

S.C.'s Sligh cut from 'Idol'
Rising to the defense of fellow contestant Sanjaya Malakar on Thursday was ousted "American Idol" finalist Chris Sligh of Greenville, S.C.

For starters, Malakar's pony-hawk hair-do this week was killer, said the curly-mopped Sligh. "I could never pull that off. I give Sanjaya props for pulling that off."

In a telephone conference call with reporters a day after getting voted off the show, Sligh said the public underestimates Malakar.

"I think Sanjaya is actually a very good vocalist. He's 17 years old. When I was 17 years old, I didn't know how to sing in an audience situation."

Sligh said Malakar, whose performances have been widely mocked and whose continued success has become the focus of buzz this season for the Fox talent show, is handling the pressure well, particularly for a teenager. "He's a sweet kid."

Sligh, 28, said he was disappointed to be cut from the competition so .

But he said frustration with the kinds of songs the program wanted drove him to consider quitting two days after he was named to the final 12. He decided to stick it out, he said, and is happy he made the top 10 so he can go on the "American Idol" tour this summer.

Slight also explained his aside Wednesday night to fellow contestant Phil Stacey about a $50 wager. After getting withering reviews by the judges, he said he told Stacey, "I'm going home, dude. I bet you 50 bucks I'm going home. And he took me up on it."

And, Sligh said, Stacey has paid up.
