Sanjaya -- Sandbagged by the Media?

Sanjaya MalakarInside sources close to "American Idol" wannabe Sanjaya Malakar revealed exclusively to TMZ their concerns over the effects of negative media coverage on Sanjy's standing on the show.

According to the sources, they believe that Sanjaya's landing in the bottom two last week was due to all the negative publicity he's received from the media. "It wasn't his best performance, but it wasn't the worst."

America will have to tune in tonight and see if it really is the media dogging the moptopped bottomed-out singer, or if his singing is what's bringing him down. Tonight, the top 11 will perform songs from the 60's British Invasion. One thing's for sure: Sanjaya's got the hair thing down!

19. 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

20. This kid can NOT sing!!!!
But then, Neither could Taylor and HE won.
The way voting is done has GOT to change or AI will become a huge joke.
Last year was bad enough. Taylor Hick's CD isn't even ON the billboard charts it's doing so badly. But the guy who was voted off last year, Chris Daughtry's CD is #3 and hit #1 and has been on the charts for 16 weeks and sold almost 2 million copies.

Obviously this kid can't sing. He's painful to watch and listen to. But every little pre teen out there with a cell phone is voting for him. It's a joke.

22. he's terrible, i don't know who's voting for him but whoever it is it's for the wrong reasons.they feel bad for him so my guess it's other people who have failed and blame other people instead of learning and moving on...he needs to know the truth quit voting for him.

28. The only reason he's still in there is because of all the 7-11 owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
