10 Things We'll Miss About Sanjaya Malakar
Thursday April 19, 2007

Here are ten things we'll miss about Sanjaya Malakar on American Idol:
1. The hair
From the flat-ironed styles to the ponyhawk, Sanjaya's hair gave us something to look forward to every week.
2. The smiles
Underneath those big (sometimes creepy) smiles during judging, we wondered if Sanjaya was really crying inside.
3. The celebrity praise
Despite being bashed by the judges, Sanjaya managed to get wonderful compliments from almost all of the celebrity mentors. Maybe they saw something in Sanjaya that most of America didn't see.
4. The judges' comments
It was fun to watch Randy, Simon, and Paula struggle to come up with something new to say to Sanjaya every week -- and it amused us even more when they were left speechless.
5. The hula dancing
We only got to see Sanjaya dance the hula once, but the moment is etched in our memory! Will we ever see Sanjaya hula again?
6. The jokes
We got weekly laughs watching TV shows making fun of the Sanjaya controversy. The Soup even played a special Sanjaya sound effect whenever his name was mentioned. Too funny!
7. The news discussions
Sanjaya making headlines on CNN? What's the world coming to?
8. The crying girl in pigtails
We were hoping the crying girl would make another appearance on the show to shed more tears for Sanjaya.
9. The hunger strikes and other publicity stunts.
One woman went on a hunger strike because Sanjaya was still on the show. Votefortheworst.com and Howard Stern made news when they campaigned to keep him on the show. We guess it's time for these guys to refocus!


Comments
The main thing is will the Sanjaya Fans actually support a CD or Concert? Will Sanjaya get the $ attention from his so called fans that kept voting each week?
American Idol Voted Off
I liked Sanjaya. For real. He was so enthusiastic about everything that with him the music wasn’t really the main focus at all. He was this season’s Taylor Hicks in terms of how much he gave to the crowd.
I also really enjoyed his glee, his gorgeous smile and his zest for life…He was fun to watch, made me smile and I will miss him. There is really no one of interest left…boring….
Do you not realize that the judge’s comments (especially Simon) were tounge-in-cheek? They hoped reverse psychology would boot him off. It just took a while.
