American Idol 6 Rewind: A Look Back at the Sanjaya Season
Thursday May 17, 2007

An Unforgettable Season
There was a scandal, a couple shockers, and just one Sanjaya! It may not have been the most popular season of American Idol (ratings were low compared to recent seasons), but it was definitely one of the most memorable. Look back at the sixth season of American Idol here.
Looking Ahead
They didn't win American Idol. So, what's next for the top 12 finalists? Here's a taste of what the contestants told reporters during post-elimination conference calls.
The Forgotten Contestants
Remember contestants like Rudy Cardenas and Amy Krebs? Maybe not! They are the contestants who were eliminated early on the competition. Look back at the forgotten Idols here.
Who Do You Believe In?
Not all American Idol finalists go on to have successful music careers. Justin Guarini immediately comes to mind. But we're optimistic that some of our favorite season six contestants will go on to release hit albums after the show is over. Which top ten finalists do you believe in? Vote in the poll!
The Final Two

In fact, America proves one more time that America has no taste. I’m done with Idol.
Why the surprise? America voted in George W. Bush and voted out Melinda. Different generations. Same mentality. The gene pool lives.
Hey Latoya, where do you get off deciding what success is? Is success writing an insipid blog on the internet on a web site which is so overloaded with garbage ads that many people block it?
Nice to see Justin Guarini comes tom mind. Maybne he comes to mind because he’s been hosting 2 tv shows this year? Poor guy, he’s on hard times I guess with only that and a few interviews a week, and his third cd to work on. Poor old down on his luck Guarini. Maybe he can aspire to higher heights - like writing rude and disrespectful opinions on the internet.
Latoya here. Notice I said successful music careers. He is a good example of someone whose music career didn’t take off after Idol. It’s just a fact. I’m not trying to disrespect anyone.
- American Idol returns for a sixth season and promises to be the biggest season to date. It all begins January 16, 2007 with a double premiere. Idolites can expect this season to began with the normal highs and lows as Paul, Randy, and Simon weed through grueling days trying to find the scattered performers ( a term used loosely) that actually have talent.
