Sanjaya Safe? America Misses the Mark Again

Why God, Why?

Unfortunately it was Chris Sligh's last night on American Idol's Wednesday result show. And even more unfortunately that means that Sanjaya Malakar is still on the show. All of us watchers ask for your help. A vote for Phil is not a vote for Sanjaya and that's a good thing.

Was it the ponytail Mohawk hair? Is the cute 17 year old boy look? Or is it a joke amongst the junior high kids across the nation to laugh about the next day on the playground? I don't know who's voting for this guy, but please, please do all of our ears a favor and stop. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out American Idol next week, you'll see.

This week on American Idol, it was a very typical show. Superstar contestant Melinda Doolittle performed like a seasoned veteran again, Chris Sligh was off-beat with the music again and Sanjya Malakar was horrible yet again. And another bit of bad news, he wasn't voted out. I am getting a little annoyed at this. All you young teenage girls out there who think Sanjaya's cute and sweet need to turn off Brittany Spears on your radios and open up your ears. The boy is not a performer. Let him be a host like Ryan Seacrest, or let him be a dancer or something but please stop letting him perform.

And of all the performances on Tuesday night, Sanjaya's was by far the worst. Better singers like Chris, Phil Stacy and Hayley Scarnato were in the bottom three last night while Sanjaya sat safely in his little corner. This is getting out of control. Stop voting for people based on what they look like. Vote for them on performance and voice. If America had done that weeks ago, Sanjaya would not have even been in the top 12. Now all of you have to go to the American Idol concerts when the season is done and listen to him sing again. Believe me, you'll be kicking yourselves then.
