And then vote for the worst would just pick someone new.. And then they should quit, right? Where do these idiots come from? Also , v4tw has no control over the situation anyway. It's nothing more than a publicity stunt where they fail 95% of the time.. Actually 100% of the time. Except they claim victory when ever someone just happens to stay longer. Sanjaya is a natural attention getter. He was popular on search engines BEFORE v4tw and Stern. So he's staying because of that. Not because he's the best singer, but because he's popular. Now that he's staying, v4tw and Stern takes credit for what they haven't done. That's lame! Also they totally failed to keep Antonella in even though she posed nude! v4tw is worthless. p.s. if you want to read a good explanation about why v4tw is worthless go here: http://www.realitytvcalendar.com/recaps/ai6/commentary/jd-04-09-07-p1.html “If Sanjaya had any decency he’d quit”?

It's all just a big popularity contest. After the hype of the first single, most 'Idol's' don't even have the staying power. I think Kelly's the only Idol that's ever really been a star and outgrown that whole 'manufactured popstar' label. Idol is a complete waste of time. I know I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with such a show if I could sing. It's totally taking advantage of the music industry and bombarding us with useless music while there are real talented people out there working their butts off for record deals and never get them.

Are you kidding me? He is a good singer? He can carry a tune? Are you kidding me? What is wrong with you people? I just don't understand how someone can say he is good. Do any of you WATCH the show? He is HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, AWFUL AND JUST NOT FUN TO WATCH. I actually have to either mute the tv or change the channel when he is on, he is horrible! Compare him to the other singers on the show, he has no chance. He is really funny looking also. He has NO SEX APPEAL. NONE. I feel bad because I think they put him on the show for ratings only, he is not talented. His sister was, but him, yeah, no. Not at all. If he wins, the show will be a total joke, and the people who acutally watched it to find a good SINGER, will no longer watch. Sanjaya has sex appeal? Are you kidding me? He is a good singer?

He has 'it', the 'X' factor that starts like Brad Pitt, Leonardio Di Caprio, and George Clooney have. It's that easy-going, I-love-the-world (instead of myself) sort of deal. Thus his appeal. I hope he wins. He certainly has more magnetism and star quality than the other contestants despite their singing voices. Sanjaya has sex appeal.

For all you Sanjaya supporters, should he win, I hope you will continue to support him by buying his CD's, going to his concerts, etc. And to Howard Stern, maybe you should cough up for his recording time since you got this stupid thing going..what? did you mic just go silent, I thought so.

But, you will say, it is supposed to be a singing competition,... whatever, if you find a star you find a star, he can carry a tune, probably better than any Ashlee Simpson. Britney Spears, or any of the other pop stars who can't even sing live. Would people really scream for Lakisha at a concert, or even Melinda. No, all we would do is really clap loudly and appreciatively for their good voices and a job really well done. Do you think they will sell magazines if you put them on a cover of a magazine?. Put Sanjaya on a teen magazine cover and a hair shampoo advertisement and all the countless marketing opportunities he will have and a STAR IS BORN. Never mined the fact that there is no one of his demographic that famous in America and the sky is the limit. By far he is the most marketable contestant in the show.

That is just not right. He is always on key, he has a melodious voice, he captures the rhythms. Why are people hearing different things? Don't try telling me I'M tone deaf. I've sung my entire life in choirs, a capella groups, and the like. I'm not a professional, but neither are most people watching AI. This idea that Sanjaya got started, and people just won't let it go. It becomes an easy target. In the meantime, the real reasons some people are so offended lie elsewhere (see above). Get off the bandwagon! Sanjaya's got a very good voice that'll get better with age and coaching.

Sane adults don't idolize anyone. Young teenagers, on the other hand, do. It is, therefore, logical that the kid is doing so well . He is , after all, following in the footsteps of previous generation's teen idols ( Leif Garrett, Pat Boone, Bay City Rollers, The Monkeys, etc.) None of them could sing particularly well, but all of them melted young tweenies' hearts with their looks and charm. Should he win, I'd wager a couple of C notes that he would outsell the previous winner (the grey haired chap) in no time flat.
