Sanjaya Says "I'm More Confident"
I spoke with Sanjaya Malakar during a conference call with the media on Thursday. When I asked the much-talked-about teen if it was hard dealing with the harsh criticism and negative buzz every week, he replied "It was a little hard but I try to make everything into a positive or try to learn from it. If it's not possible and it's just that negative, then I just let it roll off my back like a duck with water because I know that if I don't then it will get overwhelming."
I also asked Sanjaya if he is more or less confident about his singing ability these days. He said "I feel like I've grown so I'm more confident because I was able to do this every week. Practice makes perfect so I'm just ready to go out there."
