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.

93. I am a 70 year old grandmother and I love Sanjaya. Who says I have to like the same taste as Simon? I watch Idol just to see Sanjaya perform. He is a true performer..the whole package. He is a doll and so kind to everyone. Why can't the News Media believe we are voting for Sanjaya because we think he is the best. I hate the way everyone is treating him. And yet, he has a smile that lights up the world, every week, in spite of his critics. GO SANJAYA.

94. Interestingly, we (the public) LOSE either way because we remain manipulated by either American Idol or the momentum cast by Howard (I don't give a damn about anything but what brings ME ratings) Stern and his cronies. How the hell do any of us even know if the votes are true and real. Hell, it took the United States Supreme Court to over rule the will of the nation and elect the idiot we now have in the White House and we are supposed to believe votes on a stupid TV show where people can vote as much as they want>? It wou;d seem reasonable to believe that whichever AI entertainer has the most organized political machine should win but what does this have to do with singing ability. Even if it were fair...it's still so subjective. Then, the Stern worshippers...all smug and feeling intellectually superior and in control (maybe they are?) ruining whatever real hopes and dreams that hopeful kids really have about entertaining and fulfilling dreams. All of it just indicates how manipulated and sick a societh we live in. God save us from ourselves.

98. I am very disappointed in the show this year. Sorryjaya is making a joke of the show and if he wins I will never watch the show again even if my future children made it to the top 10

99. Howard Stern and friends of Sanjaya - please - stop this madness. You have brought him this far - now call it quits. It is not fair to him or the others on AI. You have had your fun and perhaps he will get some lucrative offers. This kid may be a good kid, but he simply does not possess the caliber of talent that is THE American Idol. He simply is not that talented and as Simon always states - this show is about talent and about contestents who can really sing. By voting for Sanjaya - all of you are ruining the competition for those who can really sing and have real talent. And most important - you are ruining it for those of us who like to watch AI every week.

100. SANJAYA, is nothing but a JOKE. This is my last year for Idol after 4 years. Haley only keeps goings because she shows her Breast every show. I think Gena was fantastic. American Idol you screwed up this year big time. You booted 3 good singers for this. Maybe if Gena had shown more of her body she would have won American Idol 2007. You say America votes, you will never make me belive it after this year. I hope American Idol falls to bottom of ratings after this year, And I belive it will. It should be American Sex Idol. It dosen't matter if you have real tallent as long as you show some Breast or thighs, show skin baby and you will rise.
