Leno's "A.I." Conspiracy Theory

Is Sanjaya Malakar getting a passage through India? Jay Leno seems to think so.

Last night, the "Tonight Show" host suggested that the A.I. hairball, whose father is from India, might be getting more support in Bollywood than Hollywood.

16. IT IS A SHAME TO READ THESE UGLY RACIALCOMMENTS FROM SOME OF YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE, ABOUT A 1/2 INDIAN AMERICAN BOY OF COLOR. IS HE REALLY INDIAN, JUST BECAUSE HE LOOKS AS ONE. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS MOTHER ?
TRUE HE CAN'T SING LIKE A PROFESSIONAL . HE HAS A LONG WAY TO GO FOR THAT.( HE SURELY WILL BE, SOONER OR LATER, JUST WATCH OUT ! ).
DO ALL INDIANS VOTE FOR HIM. THERE ARE OTHER MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE, LIKE DOING SCHOOL HOMEWORK FOR THOSE FOLKS. MOST INDIAN PARENTS DON'T EVEN LET THE KIDS WATCH TV BY 8PM.
INDIA VOTING FOR SANJAYA ? WHAT A DUMB JOKE ! HOW MANY INDIANS HAVE TV THERE AND ONE WITH ENGLISH PROGRAMS ? TIME ZONE IS DAY AND NIGHT DIFFERENCE. THEY CAN ONLY SEE THE SHOW THE FOLLOWING DAY !!!.
JUST ENJOY THE SHOW FOR WHAT IT IS. DON'T GET A HEART ATTACK TO SEE THIS LITTLE BOY STILL THERE !. I DOUBT HE WILL WIN AND IF DOES, THEN HE MUST HAVE SOME GREAT SUPPORT FROM THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE HIS DIFFERENT STYLE AND TRUE AMERICANS WHO CARE OR LESS ABOUT RACISM AND AND SUCH STUPIDITY. THAT WAS THE PAST. MOST OF TODAY'S KIDS ARE SMART, COURAGES AND KNOW BETTER THAN SOME OF YOU. THEY DO WHAT THEY LIKE, RIGHT OR WRONG. IF THIS KID IS STILL THERE , EVEN TO MY OWN SURPRISE, THEN HE MUST HAVE SOME SUPPORT FROM THE TRUE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR HIM, FOR WHATEVER REASON.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS KID , SHUT YOU DUMB EYES OR JUST SWITCH CHANNELS WHEN HE SINGS. IT AS EASY AS THAT !. NO ONE IS FORCING ANYBODY TO WATCH HIM. INSULTS LEAD NO WHERE BUT TO SELF DESTRUCTION !!!
JUST DON'T SAY THINGS OF HATE AND PREJUDISM TO DESTROY THE GREAT NAME OF OUR PEACEUL, CARING AND LOVING NATION , IN THE EITIRE WORLD !. IT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD TO PEOPLE FROM AROUNG THE WORLD, IF THEY SEE THIS KIND OF MESSAGES, FROM A HANDFUL OF IGNORANT PEOPLE. USE YOU HEAD !!!.

17. Ok, the point is who cares what race he is???? The point is that he might be a good entertainer, and he has an OK voice, but he is not the most talented in the competition, and THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE!!! Who cares where he comes from? What's really wrong with all of this is that some talented singers have been voted off just so some jerks out there can prove that they can rig the competition. I feel sorry for the talented people that have left the show because they worked very hard to get on the show, just to have their dreams shattered by people out there who are just jealous that they have zero talent so they want to see the underdog win. It's actually pathetic.

20. Everyone of those young men and women who enter the contest, must have a dream., and some talent , to get in, in the 1st place ! Dream is the 1st step towards true success, of course within reason and praticality.
I am sure this kid, Sanjaya, tries as hard as anyone else. This is evident in his reheasals.
Hidden beneath his bright eyes and kid smile, one can see the truth. Read Psychology !
Like I said before, this kid 'HAS" a great future , when all is said and done !. Maybe not in this program, AI, as too many people are trying to break down his confidence and self-esteen, with such nasty open comments, including the judges. I AM SURE, AS SOON AS HE GOES HOME, FROM ALL THE INSULTS, HE BREAKS DOWN AND CRIES ! WHAT A SHAME !
So he is not working as hard as any one of the others ? Give him a break ! Everyone knows about his weakness in his vocals !!!. So he must be trying even harder, plus the Indian factor, mentioned by too many people. People don't have to read nasties from here to see that he is no challenge to the naturally strong voices of certain people. Not everyone is gifted with everything. Some just have to struggle. A person with an attitude and an IQ of 150% can still fail a simple exam, while a hardworking average person can sail through it !!!. Nothing comes easy. Maybe it's all about the real struggle !.
I admire this young man's courage though !. Who knows America !

25. WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT SANJAYA I THINK THAT THIS GUY COULD BE A MODEL IF HE WOULD PERSUE THAT TYPE OF CAREER AND JUST LOOK BACK AT LAST YEARS IDOL WHEN TAYLOR HICKS WON THE IDOL I AGREE HE CAN DANCE BUT THE TRUE IDOL SHOULD HAVE BEEN KELLY PICKLER HER CD SALES ARE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF SHE HAS ALREADY HAD A NUMBER ONE HIT (MY RED HIGH HEELS) BUT AMERICA CHOOSE TAYLOR HICKS WHICH HIS ALBUM HAS NOT PRODUCED ONE SONG AS A NUMBER ONE HIT FOR HIM I LIKE TAYLOR I THINK HE IS A GREAT MAN BUT PEOPLE SAYING THAT SANJAYA INDIAN HERITAGE ANCESTORS IS VOTING TO KEEP HIM ON THE IDOL PEOPLE HAS TO REMEMBER THAT THERE IS NO RULES ON THE IDOL TO KEEP A PERSONS HERITAGE FROM VOTING FOR ANY IDOL CONTESTANT AND ALSO THE VOTES COMES FROM IDOL WATCHERS THAT VOTES BY TELEPHONE! "SO COME ON PEOPLE BE FAIR WITH YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT SANJAYA AND LET THE IDOL WATCHERS VOTES DEPEND ON THE OUTCOME OF SANJAYA" I THINK THAT HE IS A WONDERFUL PERSON EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT MET HIM OR SPOKE WITH HIM IT JUST SHOWS WHEN HE IS ON STAGE! "PEOPLE NEEDS TO QUIT BEING CRITACAL ABOUT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE A CAREERE FOR THEMSELVES" WITH THE WAY SIMON HURTS PEOPLE WITH HIS WORDS AND DEGRADES PEOPLE ON NATIONAL TELEVISION WHY DON'T THEY GET RID OF SIMON FOR HIS BEHAVIOR MAYBE HIS HERITAGE IS KEEPING SIMON ON THE IDOL AS A CRITIC AND ANNOYING JUDGE!

26. fdafda, Kevin and Mike F, it's very obvious that you are all the same person. So why don't you take your Schizophrenia med and shut up. Your multiple personalities are all showing up at once and and are all screaming.

28. Actually, Sanjaya doesn't have a bad voice. He just has to build some performing experience. He holds back and needs to let go more to make for a stronger performance. Am Idol needs to do something about the voting system. It's not working anymore.

29. Why all the racist comments.....The kid is an entertainer, the winner of this competition must bCookiee. He's got my vote, cause he's riduculed on all the "information" shows.

30. I thiink that AI rigged this to get more people watching their show...America loves nothing more than DRAMA...that's why the stuff about Anna Nicole is more important than the war it seems...so AI rigged this farce to get more people to pay attention to their show...or maybe it's something that the government did to take the drama seekers attention off of price gauging at the pumps (anyone else noticing the $3 a gallon at the gas station, nope they're too busy worrying if Sanjaya or whatever his name is will win)...
