No Talent, No Problem for Sanjaya

91. Sanjaya is not ugly but he isn't as talented as many of the others who have already been eliminated. He is being used by the people who are making a sham of American Idol. This is wrong!! If he becomes the next Idol, I believe the American system has failed again. This is a talent contest~~not a personality contest and NOT a joke. I am also a grandma. I grew up when REAL talent was appreciated and I still want to feel that is the name of the game~talent. You people who are tone deaf~watch something else!! Don't continue to make American Idol a joke. If one of the better singers is eliminated again this week and Sanjaya stays, I don't believe I'll continue to watch the show or buy tickets for their tour.
I WANT TO SEE THE REAL TALENT STAY ON THE SHOW!!

92. To # 15 it doesnt matter the color of a persons skin that is not what makes them ugly or beautiful its your attitude and the way you act and thats why you are Butt Ugly your attitude stinks. You are just jealous because you are not on that stage. Granted Sanjaya is not one of the contestants that I like but there is no need to bash the kid into the ground. Besides if you don't like him just don't vote for him it is America keeping him in the show. So please get a life. And how dare you wish him to drop dead. You better watch what you wish on people it could come back to bite you in the butt and haunt you for the rest of your life.

93. Wait, we are missing the point. Sanjaya is not ugly, he is a cute kid. He has talent but not worthy of the title American Idol. He is the right person at the right time being promoted by a stupid radio NO TALENT (Howard Stern) Howard is not backing Sanjaya because he is talented, he is indirectly making fun of him. _ That's sad. Americans are so easily lead by IDIOTS. Whats up with that? The American Idiol is not even a talent contest any more, hardly worth watching. All the talented people are being kicked off due to Howard. We are letting an Idiot, Howard Stern, ruin the possibilities for the other who have talent. Don't take this out on Sanjaya, he s trying, blame this farce on Howard . Don't be one of the idiot Howard Stern Followers. This is not funny any more Howard is hurting people, and giving Sanjaya false hope for success in the industry.

94. Please.......who should be blamed for Sanjaya? How about the idiots that put him on the show in the first place! He is just a kid who dreams of fame and fortune. Its just a sin that he comes from a whole generation of kids whose parents have lied to them their whole life by telling them how wonderful they are when they aren't. Then when they get out into the real world they find out to thier surprise that they really suck by professional standards. Heck I know a kid who is a thousand times better looking, athletic, charismatic and intelligent. He has dreams of playing baseball but is not disillusioned to the facts and plans on college. Lets face it ,Sanjaya lacks talent and if I, like many ,heard him on the radio, I would change the station.....Quickly! Never underestimate what the American public wants to hear. Once again I am not surprised to hear he is still in the running since Howard Stern has encouraged his listeners to vote. Just goes to prove the average Stern listener is a sheep. Lets think about the last idol winners, it seems to me that Kelly Clarkson is the only one with a real career, and maybe Carrie Underwood. Fantasia is like listeneing to a cat being strangled. Fat Reuben who? Soul patrol-Oh no! So even if Sanjaya wins he will be an instant has been.

95. Sanjaia is a cute kid that seems very sweet and he's going to get some kind of career out of this no matter what happens, but let's face it, he is being out sung by those 3 girls , it would be a totally travesty if any of them had to leave the show because of Sanjaia...I'm a grandma too , but let's be realistic here.

96. Will I have been watching the show since the begining and some of them have been voted off for forgetting words in the song, going faster then the music and singing notes off key. at least once that I have noticed. I know that Sanjaya has done all of these things at least every week, so why should he be allowed to remain on the show. I am not a Sanjaya hater I just want to see the people that desire to go to the next round go. People you are playing with someones emotions and their future. The joke is got to stop. I do not mind him being on the show, if he desires to be there, and right now I have not seen that.

97. Welcome to show business, and i do mean BUSINESS. People who can SANG are a dime a dozen, but personality and charisma is something that you're born with, and this kid has "it" and that's gonna carry him long after everyones forgotten about everybody else.
I really do feel for the other singers that are more talented, but you gotta love the irony of all this. A kid who "cant sing" actually rising to the top of American Idol? It's the stuff that sitcoms are made of! it couldnt be more perfect if it was scripted! This is theatre at its best. Sit back, relax, pop some popcorn and enjoy the show. You wont be seeing one like this for a long time.

98. Sanjaya has a personality? In what way???? The poor kid barely has a pulse. And that obnoxious smile is enough to make everyone sick to their stomachs.
I'm of grandma age and I don't agree with the other "grammas". Please give up the goody goody stuff. This is a singing contest...not a cutesy, kindess contest.

99. Sanjaya is so cute and full of personality. He can work on his voice, but if he didn't have the other attributes he wouldn't be going anywhere. Many rock stars are not great singers. You can't watch him smile and not want to smile with him!

100. Not since Elvis Presley (1954), have I seen anything like this. The establishment condemned him for having no real talent and the fans defended him in spite of it. It made his fan base extremely loyal and protective of him. Elvis's controversial style kept the media's attention. Now 53 years later he still outsells almost everyone that has come along since.

The music industry has long since picked our "Idols", told us who we should like and who's records we should buy. If you didn't fit the MTV mold, you didn't exist. A.I. is no different.

This new kid has already acquired a loyal fan base, sold on the same charisma that got Elvis started. Elvis learned to sing quite well over time, maybe the same will happen with Sanjaya. I wish him luck. But face it everyone, win or lose he's already an American Idol and will be around for awhile... Pending good management.

101. Didn't anyone listen last night?
TONY BENNETT said Sanjaya had a 'good voice'. He is fun to watch. On an earlier show Simon said it's the package you have to sell. Sanjaya has done that.

102. Just finished watching the Elton John 50th birthday celebration. A duck costume?? He's made it big in part because he is weird! And remember what the grownups thought about the beatles when they first came to USA? Their'long' hair was even banned in some schools.

103. everyone who gets voted off American Idol before Sanjaya should sue Howard Stern for what he has done

104. The judges are the ones to blame.

Sanjaya made it to the top 12 out of all the hundreds of thousand of contestant so if anyone is to blame it is the judges for putting him into this position in the first place.If he is that awfull how did the judges advance him to this stage.
