Hearing Whatever Sanjaya Isn't Singing

The Sanjaya Paradox

GirlGoneLeBron: If Sanjaya wins, American Idol will be ruined. No one will watch anymore.
GirlGoneGrady: Ok that’s not true. Idol’s credibility will be destroyed, but people will still watch.
GirlGoneLeBron: Not according to this article.

Somebody is voting for Sanjaya, unfortunately. But he shouldn't be the next Idol.
Frank Micelotta, FOX / AP

GirlGoneGrady: But that doesn’t make sense. If Sanjaya were to win, obviously people are voting for him.
GirlGoneLeBron: Right, but they would be wrong.
GirlGoneGrady: It doesn’t matter if they are wrong, they are still voting which means they are still watching and will watch again.
GirlGoneLeBron: Oh, yeah I didn’t think about it like that.
GirlGoneGrady: Furthermore, Sanjaya won’t win. Producers realize his tween appeal, but they won’t let him prevail over all the other contestants who are clearly more talented.
GirlGoneLeBron: What do you mean?
GirlGoneGrady: Well, it’s not like they reveal the vote tallies. They could just kick Sanjaya off even if he did get the highest votes, how would we ever know?
GirlGoneLeBron:
Someone would know.
GirlGoneGrady: Oh please, it seems like reality show producers always manipulate the results.*


*Edit: We admit that we can't prove that reality show producers manipulate the results for good TV. It just seems that way ... how else could Jeffrey have won Project Runway?

    I do not watch the show American Idol, and I do not care who wins.
    But, I saw a posting on an AOL chat urging people who do not like the political position of  Fox News to call in and vote for the worst contestant in the hope of destroying the show's ratings and hurting Fox Broadcasting financially.
    It seams the Radical Left is behaving like the Nazi’s.

    Everyone loves to hate Sanjaya, but you know whose voting!! The majority are kids.  Kids love him. I have seen my son vote for him over and over. I asked why Sanjaya? There are so many that are better than him. My favorite was kicked off.
    And Sanjaya still hanging in. But anyway, the kids think hes cool.. Im sure it will be another here today gone tomorrow teen idol. But who buys the most records.
    Kids..
    And as for Idol, they will still be fine.. Even tho they have lost alot of viewers, they are still listed in the top. Thats alot of viewers.
    And Sanjaya, if the kids are so nuts about you.. Well good luck.. Try not to let this thing go to your head. And remember every good thing has an end..
    Hollywood has destroyed alot of young lives. Dont let it destroy yours..
    Good luck and God bless.

    doggy4u1 you are what turns silly little things into a racist competition. please i mean really please sanjay is getting all the talk because he's not as talented as the others but he's getting a lot of attention. the fact that is even getting any attention that america truly is the land of the free because if not the government may even interwine and say this is wrong he should be gone and he'ld be gone.  ou are one odf those people that think what really is going on is okay until it affects what you want Kind of the Imus situation the rap satars sing about everything that imus said but it was tolerated because a black person said it but let a white person say it and its a war please you may be right in one aspect everyone should be equal so why is it okay for some to to cross lines but not others...

    wWHY HAS NO ONE REALLY BELLED THE CAT. THERE ARE ONLY 2 OR 3 (ALL WOMEN) WHO CAN SING AT ALL ON THE SHOW THIS YEAR! THE REST ARE ALL LOUSY!! SOMEONE OF THOSE LOUSY "SINGERS" HAS TO SURVIVE UNTIL THE FINAL 3! SIMPLE. SANJAYA IS A TOKEN MALE CONTESTANT AMONG ALL THE MALES WHO IS SET TO SURVIVE UNTIL THE LAST 4! THERE WERE NEVER ANY GOOD MEN AND ONLY 4 GOOD WOMEN!
