Sanjaya Buzz In Music Biz

SanjayaTMZ has spoken with intensely connected sources in the recording industry about the Sanjaya craze, and it's turned the music biz on its ear.

We're told execs at Sony BMG (its 19 Recordings/RCA division records the winner of "Idol") are "really nervous." They now think Sanjaya could win the competition and worry that he's like the new Pet Rock -- the novelty will wear off and his records won't sell.

On the other side of things, we're told a number of songwriters in H-Wood are already quietly writing songs for one person and one person only in the competition -- yes, Sanjaya. As you read this story, musical notes are going up on pages all over the city -- notes Sanjaya probably can't hit.

78. Yeah, its the money that Simon is looking for. All he talked about on Anderson Cooper was making money off all his slaves, ops american idols. He does head up a record company too.

81. I have been watching AI for years and have voted my favorites.. Kelly, Carrie, etc and have seen them do stellar things. The show has been above reproach. But now when I see truely talented souls singing their best and this kid who does not any talent to speak of may have a fixed vote? How does this work? AI has lost a lot of it's luster.

82. I don't see anyone making fun of Rueben here. I, for one, mentioned Rueben & Fantasia just to make my point.

I'm sure others are as well.

Read the comments again & read them SLOWLY, stupid!!!

83. I think this kid can't even try to get voted off now. If you want Sanjaya off the show then start voting for the contestants with talent.
I can only hope that Rosie O doesn't use this as one of her outrageous platforms.

85. I just finished watching tonights show and cannot believe America is leaving Sanjaya on the show and Gina was sent home, I sure hope America sends him home soon as good singers are being sent home and one that does not measure up is left to stay! Wake up America!

87. I am sorry to see gina go home and sanjia still there. he clearly cannot sing and keep up with the talented singers on the show. who is voting for him and why? has this show become such a joke that they can let this happen? it is really hard each wek to watch him try...really painful. please stop voting for him........

88. AHHAHAHAHAHHAR OMFG you people are so jealous S-jay, face it he is a big star in the making and I wish that I could sing half as well has he can!!
He is the best thing to ever happen to that stupid show lol, and I can't wait to purchase his debut album cos it will be stunning!!!!

89. If Sanjaya wins this event I will not ever watch Idol again!
I will totally think I wasted my time watching this year (and voting) and I will be thinking......"What a joke"!!!
Talent does not matter I guess......

90. Sanjaya is a total joke. Tonight I watched as Gina was the next victim to fall. Does anyone out there actually believe sanjaya is better then her uh no dontthink so. The kid is a total joke, and i honestly think he may start to enjoy this just to get ratings for hisself. They need to change the voting system to either vote off the WORST contestant not for the best like it is now. Or change it to where Randy Paula and Simon vote for the bottom 3 each week then let america decide. OR Take americas votes out all togehter and just let the judges decide. Sanjaya is not a good singer and i pray he is voted off next week tho i will already predict he wont. I feel either phil or haley(tho she aint that good) will be voted off next.
