American Idol: Sanjaya might win this thing

buddytv · 03-28-2007, 01:15 PM

Sanjaya Malakar winning American Idol is a worst-case scenario for FOX. It would single-handedly undermine any credibility the show has as a legitimate venue for talent. FOX, therefore, is in an interesting situation right now. Do they milk all this Sanjaya mania as long as possible and hope that voters eventually come to their senses? Or, do they try and guard against the possibility that he might actually win the whole thing, and try to bury him, PR-wise? I don't know what FOX will do, but for those questions to even be relevant, we need to believe that Sanjaya has a chance to win American Idol this year.

The scary thing is, I actually believe this could happen.

This is a tragedy! Get this poor kid off the stage. I think it is a shame what we have come to in this country. People voting for the worst person for sake of entertainment, destroying this kid's self esteem and ruining it for actual contestants. Shameful!

week after week i am amazed as to how this kid makes it thus far. has america gone crazy. He should have been voted off a long time ago. the boy simply cant sing.

Perhaps the execs at American Idol will realize that something needs to be done in the way that a participant gets to stay on the show. Perhaps there could be a vote where the only vote cast is for the weakest contestant to go home. Additionally, perhaps the judges will stop selecting these weak performers to make it to the top 24. If there are not 24 top candidates, then only select 20... The show's credibility is already being damaged with the continual presence of a contestant who not only cannot sing well, but who himself mocks the show through his displays of hair styles

I agree. He can't sing. All I can do is vote, vote, vote and pray that people will once again take American Idol seriously. There is a chance we could lose the show that we all love. They won't keep pouring money into this show if they have end results like Sanjaya.

If Sanjaya wins that is the end of American Idol. Simon gave in interview where he said that. The kid has to be a complete idiot seriously. He has to know he is horrible and doesn't belong on that stage. The judges can't do anything but laugh.

I like Sanjaya..He stands out in the idol team..who cares about talents these days..its all about what sells..and as far as that is concerened ..he is different, entertaining, memorable..i think he has a very good chances of winning this competition and i will not be surprised if he does..guys stop being jealous and except the freaking change..u guys r only making him popular by hating him...GO Sanjay!!!

haha..a few years ago they hosted a show called cupid where the worst bachelor made it to the final two. I'm wondering if the producers rigged it so the better man won..because this loser was on a winning streak. It's funny how america always votes for the worst guy then wonders why the hell he's still on..morons.

It is a shame that an underground element of kooks can take away a wonderful opportunity for truly talented performers to "get their chance", while at the same time taking away the enjoyment of millions of viewers.

AI IS AT THE POINT NOW WITH SANJAYA THAT IF IT WEREN'T SO TRAGIC AND PITIFUL THAT HE'S STILL PERFORMIING, IT WOULD BE FUNNY! AI IN MY OPINION HAS LOST 'ALL' CREDIBILITY AND IS NOW NOTHING MORE THAN A GLORIFIED REALITY SHOW, IF THAT. IT CAN'T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY ANY LONGER. I SAY THE ONLY TRUE ANSWER IS TO BOYCOTT THE DAMN THING!
