Website encourages Idol fans to 'Vote for the Worst', Sanjaya Malakar
If you're like me, you have been asking yourself how the hell Sanjaya Malakar made it to the American Idol top 10 securing his place on the American Idol tour.
The answer could be really simple. Thanks to the website, www.votefortheworst.com, Sanjaya may actually have some longevity in this competition.
'Vote for the worst' was created in 2004 to "support voting for the entertaining contestants who the producers would hate to see win on American Idol." The website says their goal is to send a message to American Idol producers that they turn away too many good people before letting the American public vote.
"During the initial auditions, the producers of Idol only let certain people through. Many good people are turned away and many bad singers are kept around to see Simon, Paula, and Randy so that America will be entertained," according to the site.
Campaigns like this one and Howard Stern's radio campaign to keep bad signers around explains why someone who sings as poorly as Sanjaya does could stay in the competition.
I also have to say that Sanjaya's androgony is a bit scary. I don't even know any women (other than Tyra Banks) who change their hair weekly. (And this point Sanjaya is giving Tyra a run for her money!!!) I'll give him that, he has nice hair -- for a woman.
For those of you who are seriously voting for Sanjaya because you think he is a good singer, let's think about this...
Can you honestly say that Sanjaya is a good singer when you compare him to previous winners like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Fantasia Barrino?
Do you really want to prevent the next coming of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Fantasia Barrino? Could you really sleep with yourself at night? Thank goodness those three powerful voices (Clarkson, Underwood, Barrino) were on previous seasons, otherwise they may have gotten beaten by the tone deaf superstar also known as Sanjaya.
I also wonder if 'vote for the worst' sent this cheesy little girl to cry and act like she really cares about Sanjaya? Her tears didn't really look too sincere if you ask me.
Give it some time Sanjaya, I'm sure Bravo will come up with a reality show for the best hair soon. Hang in there!

you really suck
Sanjaya...please leave...you are ruining my life. And that little girl's tears....SO FAKE!! ugh.
YES I KNOW SANJAYA IS NOT A GREAT SINGER, BUT WHY DO THEY EVEN HAVE A WEBSITE VOTE FOR THE WORST. IT IS STUPID.
Sanjaya is the WORST. Either he should walk away or maybe his parents could influence his departure. Does he really believe he is that good ? This is an outrage.
Obviously Americal Idol is a little too important to you. The show is meant to be entertaining and some people are entertained by Sanjaya. Who are you to others which contenstants are entertaining and which are not? I find the kid funny as hell. And frankly, you people that take such personal offense from this whole thing ... well, you clowns need to lighten up a little bit. Clearly you are taking this stupid show a little too seriously.
