i was too busy staring at sundance behind him, to pay attention to his singing. his sexy dance i see hasn’t changed either. i pay less attention to him each week. i can’t even laugh at him, which makes me sad.

This is ridiculous-get this kid off the show! Too many are being sent home that don’t need to be-he is staying-something’s not right here

Maria @ 03/22/2007 at 3:57 pm

Okay, so this obsession people have with this kid is becoming totally rediculous!! Sorry I cannot spell..lol! Anyways, I really do not see why people are voting for him. He does not have looks and he especially doesn’t have singing talent. I cannot believe he was even allowed into the top 30. Do people not realize American Idol is a SINGING competition. It is almost like this is a joke to him. This past week performance made me sick! It really is a complete joke he is still there! What is wrong with America!!!! Get rid of this joke and vote for the men and women who can really blow us away with their wonderful voices! I would be offended if I was any other contestant on there. I would be asking the producers if they are making a joke out of singing because they have this horrible singer Sanjaya! UGH!! I am so mad at this, I guess because I am a professional singer and it hurts to see people trying to follow their dreams who deserve this opportunity only to be knocked out by this horrible child who thinks he has talent. Get with it america!!

This is a really good performance for him. It is MUCH better than anything he has done on Idol so far.

Simon is right. American Idol is a singing competition. This is not about who is cute or sweet. This is not a pagent! It’s about who can sing. And in truth, he is not the best singer in this group. He was not better than Stephanie or Sundance.

I think this has everything to do with ratings. He has appeal and the show is keeping him on to help boost the ratings. I believe the producers are keeping him because curious as folks are, they wonder if he will improve.

OMG @ 03/22/2007 at 4:54 pm

OMG Sanjaya just gave me the Holy Ghost. That boy rocked that house. Maybe he’s too nervous on the show to do well.

He sounds like an old school gospel singer Is that the style he likes to sing? Little odd but he is fabulous. AI is a bunch of ole bs anyway. I can’t stand them.

I will vote for Sanjaya for 2 hours straight just to fwt.

Keep Sanjaya alive by voting for him early and often. Check out the Sanjaya Headquarters at http://www.sanjayafannetwork.com

I made it to join the fight alongside with votefortheworst.com and was mentioned on the Howard Stern show today.
