Breaking: American Idol's Sanjaya Malakar Doesn't Always Have A Shit-Eating Grin On His Face

American%20Idol--Sanjay%20collage.JPG

For those of you who haven't been watching American Idol this year, you haven't missed much. And you certainly haven't missed out on the musical stylings of seventeen year-old contestant Sanjaya Malakar, who's far better remembered for his luscious locks than his limited vocal range.

But apparently, the seemingly deliriously happy Sanjaya isn't actually enjoying his reputation as "the off-key Shirley Temple" on America's highest rated singing competition.

A source close to Sanjaya's family revealed exclusively to TMZ that the darling hula-dancer has been devastated by recent bad press he's received over his not-so-precious singing. "He's so young and so sensitive, it's hard for him to go out on that stage and not have that devastation affect his performance," said the source.

Hear that? The kid's barely even old enough to get into an R-rated movie and he's already got more people telling him he sucks than Jenna Jameson and Paris Hilton combined. So please, do Sanjaya a favor and stop voting for him. We've already seen what the kid can do with a Diana Ross song, and it's nowhere near as impressive as what he can do with a can of styling gel, a spritz of non-stick hairspray and a Supercuts blowout.

    How could someone hear such horrible lies said against them and not be devastated? Sanjaya is talented, and people try to blame the fact that he's been getting through every week on young girls liking him and his looks. Well, adults vote for him too. And he can sing, but as said he has a limited range. Why should someone be put down over something they can't control? If you can't hit the note, you can't hit it. But he tries to tweak the song so he can hit the notes, and he has an amazing voice. I'm getting sick and tired of immature people bashing him for ignorant reasons.

    No. 14 Sam says:

    It's you America that has been allowing Sanjaya to remain. I really don't think he deserves such criticism though, and even though this is a singing competition, he isn't good enough to become the next American Idol. He has come far enough, and it's time we let him go home, and stop punishing him. Remember, he's only 17. If it were my son, I would be saddened also at how rude people can be and it would be tough to hear it each week. Let the poor child go home, where he is Loved! He will be recognized by someone anyway. The more trash you talk, the more popular they become, look at Britany Spears…..now she's (CAPITAL"T") Trashy!

    Sanjaya is adorable, and I LOVE HIM.
    His voice is progressing through the shows, and I think now, he has found the type of music that he should be singing.
    Give him credit.

    Hes not letting all of the critisizm get to him, so why even try to bring him down.

    You people are dumb, Sanjaya can't sing, is ugly, and this is a SINGING competition, not a good hair show. I think he keeps changing his hair because he has female insecurity issues…. maybe he wants to be a girl…. I predict that once his 15 minutes of fame are over he will "come out of the closet" to get 15 more minutes of fame. He can't keep a tune, and sounds like shit. I think this whole ocmpetition should be judged by blind people, they at least would give a good honest opinion of what SOUNDS good!

How people can vote for this kid at this stage of the competition is really unbelievable!! How long is this joke going to last? Yes, he has long, girlish locks that so many teenyboppers are going ga-ga over but is there this many tone deaf and comically sick voters out there to keep this mockery going?? He is so much worse than the other singers and it is getting more noticeable as the competition narrows the field down below 10. I can only imagine the horror on the judges faces if this kid would outlast Melinda or Lakisha (the 2 that the judges favor to win it!!) Go ahead America and keep voting for the kid to keep the comedy going!! Now I know why early conservative aristocrats (in the colonial days) wanted to keep the vote away from the masses!!

One thing for sure - this guy has become a household name and will be so for some time. I have asked some people at work of their opinion about Sanjaya's singing, his voice, and his performance by playing the videos in http://www.youtube.com over-and-over again and also comparing his performance of Bathwater to that of the concert version of the band "No Doubt". Most concluded that his voice is actually nice, he sang well and most agreed that his version is actually better than the band's concert version. Now this is not me saying this but a group of people. His take of "You really got me" is also good. So why is it that this guy is being criticised as not being good enough? I also asked this question at work to my co-workers - Could the other contestant have performed a better version of "You really go me" and "Bathwater"? It is very difficult for us to imagine Lakisha Jones, Melinda Doolittle, or Jordin Sparks singing "You really got me". It is even more difficult to imagine the other guys singing "Bathwater". So I could only conclude that only Sanjaya could pull it off. And he does have a good voice though limited in range, but he did a good job. Because of his limited range he compensate by modifying the tune of the song. I guess the audience just does not get this and expect him to sing it just the way the original artist did. This is just not realistic. Not even Gwen Stefani sound as good in concert as she does in her albums. One more addition - although AI originally had the intention of being a singing competition, it is no more. It has evolved as an entertainment that is more than that. It now involve looks, fashion, appearance, how you conduct yourself , how appealing you are, how nice your smile, how good looking you are, and yes Hair-style. It is now a competion of who can entertain the public best. Folks it is just a TV show - its entertainment at its best. Enjoy it.

    I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE APPEALS OF SANJAYA. HE ACTUALLY KIND OF REMIND ME OF MICHAEL JACKSON (EARLIER YEARS) WITHOUT THE VOCAL ABILITY. LOOK AT HOW MICHAEL TURNED OUT, EVEN WITH HIS TALENT. I QUESTION HIS SEXUALITY AND REALLY WONDERS WHY GIRLS FALL FOR HIM. AMERICAN IDOL IS A SINGING COMPETITION AND HE IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH. HE NEEDS TO GO AND LEARN HOW TO BE MORE HUMBLE ABOUT HIMSELF.

    Okay, all of you people that say Sanjaya is "talented" and that "he can sing" are just pissing me off. Also, if he didn't want to be criticized, then he shouldn't have gotten on a worldwide television show. If any of you have ever been a musician, you would hear how off key he is. He messes up the lyrics all the time. This week, 4-10-07, he sang a song in Spanish. The lyrics were messed up all over the place. Way to try to cover it up in a different language! He sucks…period. Although, I do feel sorry for him as the judges never should have let him get into the top 12. Every single person that has been cut can sing better than him, with the exception of Antonella. He does sing better than her, but so does a howling dog. Everyone voting for him can keep doing so and let the show that you enjoy watching go down hill and eventually be taken off the air. This is what will happen if he wins. Millions of people will stop watching the show as they will not have any belief that the true talent on the show can win. Take for example Chris Daughtry. He has the fastest selling album of all time, but was voted off the show. Granted, I think Taylor Hicks is pretty good, but the most talented did not win. Two seasons of this will definitely put the show in decline. It's time for Sanjaya to go. I wish him well and with some voice coaching and performing, he will get better and should try to make another run at it, but until that time…bye bye!

    I'm sure Sanjaya is devestated by all of the bad press. But just so you know, Sanjaya DOES have a beautiful voice, right now, you are making it no better by telling him he is bad, try to say something good people! Give him motivation! Stupid idiots like the people who are giving BAD critisism are the people who make things worse. Just so you know, I went to school with Sanjaya last year, he is the one of the sweetest friends I ever had. I'm not gonna lie and say that we were best friends or anything, but we did have fun together a lot. But that is not the point, he has not lived up to his full potential on American Idol yet, in my opinion, he DOES have the potential to win it, not because of is good looks or wild hairstyles, but his vocal talent. But please consider that he is a great person and he doesn't deserve the harsh critisism.

    Sanjaya has only made it this far because of the help of "vote for the worst.com".At that note, People are voting for him knowing he is the worst singer out of top 24. Do you actually think he would have done this all on his own? Please… I like the kid, dont get me wrong. He just doesn't sing well. He cant compete with Blake and Melinda. If he wins…HA, It would only be b/c of the website and all of you know it. True fans of american idol will pull through and get the right singer to get the title of american idol.

    What the hell!
    I mean seriously what the fuck you people need a fucking life.
    "San-gay-a" <–Damn Im so cute
    "Sangina" <–Heblows
    You fucking lame ass people who try to talk shit about this kid who evidentally has more talent than you.
    I mean if you're going to talk shit about someone say it to their fucking faces not on some website.
    Come up with better shit, I mean who writes you stuff.
    I think Sanjaya is talented, music happens to be a matter of personal opinion. But I don't fucking care about your opinion whine to your fucking parents.
    And by the way I saw when he auditioned, if he was so bad as you people are trying to make him he wouldn't have gotten into American Idol in the first place.
    So shut the fuck up and give him the respect he deserves as a person and an entertainer.
    By the way, if you're honestly wasting your time bashing the kid, than maybe you're envious or some shit, I mean why does it matter to you. You don't know him. He doesn't effect your life in anyway. So reiterating what I said before shut the fuck up and give him some respect.

    No. 86 Melissa says:

    Well Well Well… First of all his little fans need to learn how to respect people if they expect others to do the same. If you knew how to read you would see that i didnt disrespect the kid. I liked him when he first auditioned but for the past month he just doesnt have it anymore. He shows no expression. He's not into the songs, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to the beat or something!when he performs…oh boy… It looks like he is not trying. I know he is trying a little but it's just not good enough. You are just upset becuase you know what i said is true. Dont worry…if he doesnt win it doesnt matter because he is already famous for being the worst singer on the show right now. Oh and another thing is that if we were to meet…i would tell him in his face but he is too busy with his hair so there goes that. Sorry, go cry a river to your mother.

    Another thing… I feel really bad for sanjaya because howard stern shouldnt influence people to vote for him. America should be able to have their own opinion and vote for who they want. If i were Sanjaya I would feel embarrassed knowing that a lot of my votes are coming from people who are influenced by howard stern. Also I would feel bad becoming an american idol knowing that someone else deserved it(PEOPLE who earned their votes through their singing, personality, talent and wonderful mind blowing performances)

    Sanjaya was the worst on the Top24. Pls, DON'T EVER, compare him to Taylor Hicks. Taylor Hicks is a performer and can actually sing very well. Sanjaya on the other hand, cannot! So I am sooo happy he's gone. Thanks for waking up America. It's for Sanjaya's sake anyway. He knows he got that far becoz of that website vote for the worst, or something like that, and through Howard Stern. I would've voted for his sister than him. Sexy??? First, he's thin. His hair is like a girl's hair. And it's a singing competition, which means he shouldn't have been there in the first place. Once again, THANK YOU AMERICA, SANJAYA IS FINALLY GONE!
