Sanjaya -- Sandbagged by the Media?

1. He can't sing a note!! Whoever is voting for him -PLEASE STOP!!!

2. It could be both--he's young, not that strong of a singer, and, in addition, performance anxiety because of all the negative attention is likely making him much worse. The worst problems seem to be that, at a certain point in every song, he almost starts whispering it, and he's very wooden on stage. Both of these problems could be caused by bad stage fright. He sounded much much better in the audition. He's not star material, but he is just a kid. I wish he could go home without having to be reamed on the way there.

3. Are you serious? Bad PR? He sounded good in audition, but over the last two weeks he has showed that he can't handle the pressure of being on stage in front of an audience.

He needs to go home and finish school.

4. Sanjaya can't sing--and the press is reporting on the fact that a person who can't sing is still on American Idol----it makes the show look bad that a bad singer continues to be on the show!!! This is a singing competition--HE CAN'T SING!!!!!

5. #4 Right on the Mark. And the whole reason I'm going with Howard Sterns instructions for us all to vote for him---to show AI and the world just how ridiculous this show has become, when a terrible singer will win it all

6. Sanjaya has a very nice voice. He has yet to sing off key. jWhat he needs is confidence and stage presence. He appears weak in those areas because there are so many older, semi-professional contestants this year. Ever since Season 3, the media has chosen a whipping boy. This year it is Sanjaya.

7. Voting is done right after the show, how can the media be involved? The reason why he didn't leave was because of the votefortheworst.com website. He received the extra votes because of them. I also think people know what they like and don't like. He doesn't have the voice needed to win.

If the media is all ready getting to him then he should not persue this type of career.

12. Well the rules of the show should change then------------------if its a ridiculous vote the judges should be able to stand in and change the vote--if it does come down to this loser winning the judges and show should say no---it used to be a good show until a jerk off like #5 and Taylor didnt suck a$$ hole..came along guess you need a hobby loser
