Sanjaya Hits Puberty!

Sanjaya MalakarSanjy's grown some facial hair, and he wants the world to know it!

If you watched last night's J.Lo-mentored edition of "American Idol," you probably noticed Sanjy's freshly-fuzzed face. Our inside source tells TMZ that "It was all [Sanjaya's] idea."

Perhaps the little songbird is trying to address media scrutiny of his "masculinity" by adding his own bit of Tom Selleckness.

While it was a compelling attempt at butching it up, it looked to us like his face was a little dirty. Sanjy warbled a version of "Besame Mucho" (kiss me a lot) and batted his doe eyes at the swooping camera. Did the facial hair help? You decide.

46. Wow. You people are so ridiculous. First of all, he is a 17 year old teenager! Leave the kid alone. I'm sure a majority of you commenting are older than him, and you make such cruel comments to a poor kid who has a dream to sing. You people are so pathetic to be getting all worked up over a TV show. IT'S A TV SHOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. You should get up off your lazy asses and educate yourselves instead of trying to insult a kid by using homophobic and racist slurs. Get a life.
And did it ever occur to you that maybe TMZ keeps posting up articles about him because so many of you leave comments?

47. First of all, this is not a guy. This is a girl. He is a transexual, can't you tell. He is the biggest joke of the season and everyone is laughing at him. This kid can't even see it.
If I was him/her, I would quit for lack of talent.

49. Sanjayas fake little peach fuzz looked comical. If I were his parents I'd pull him out of there so fast (contract or not). I would never allow my child to be the butt of everyones joke, and for what? He won't win this, he'll get his 15 minutes of fame and then spend the next few years in therapy. A.I. producers love this, he's getting the ratings, the show is getting talked about like never before. If that weren't the case why don't they have him go first and just stop putting the focus on him. He is a JOKE, he should of been voted out long before now, I'm with the folks who think his fake smile and beady eyes have worn out their welcome.

50. Sherryl: If you don't watch American Idol then why post on a subject that you know nothing about!! Doesn't make much sense...now does it! These others posters seem to be right about you!! Kinda Bitchy aren't ya??!! HA!!!

51. Just because I don't watch the show doesn't mean that I know nothing about the show. I've watched the first season of the show, so I do know about the show, so it does make sense for me to comment on something that I know about. So I'm entitled to my opinion, just as everyone else is. I never said that people who are making rude comments about the kid should stop posting-- I just gave my opinion on the comments. Who knew making two comments on a website could give people the power to be right about who I am? If giving a different opinion makes me bitchy, well then I'm fine with that.

54. I'm telling you this kid is plain weird. There is something very very strange about him and his behaviors. I really think he needs a psych evaluation.

55. I think whoever posted about him being half woman is right. I think I will start calling him a She/It. Somewhere between a girl and an it. Sheit needs to go and soon.

56. Gary, sheit I like it. Describes him well. Think about it take out the e on sheit and you have a description of his or her talent.

57. I think there is something very wrong with him too. Did you see that sick smile on his face when he said he wanted to go home with JoLo and replace Marc Anthony. I think the kid is a sicko

58. this year's show is just a real disappointment,,no wonder they are losing viewers...not to mention the fact people are getting sick of the fact that there is alot of attention going to lakisha,,& melinda...how many weeks in a row have those girls closed the show?
THIS YEAR IS NOTHING BUT A JOKE,,if they want this show to continue to last they better get serious and bring back THE AMERICAN IDOL we know & love...
Another point id like to make is ,,i think it is so unfair that melinda is even in this show,sure she was a back up singer,,but for how many BIG BANDS,,she has the experience over all the others,,ITS NOT FAIR.......

GET UR ACT TOGETHER IDOL or YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE VIEWER'S EVERY WEEK.....
the show SUCKS this year,,,LAST YEAR has been by far THE BEST SHOW YET.....

59. This season of American Idol has not been interesting at all.
All of the better singers have not been voted for, or people are
just voting strictly for the worst singers. As an American,I did
not like any of the singers last night as I tuned in to listen for the first time.
I would not vote for any of them. However, I should have voted for
one just to keep one of the worst to become the American Idol.

60. Okay...does Sanjahiya(my version of his name) really think he's going for the GOLD.....
I think NOT!!!!...is anyone listening to the way he sings OR are people just looking at his appearance??? My husband says that tere is a very large poulation of "Ghandis" out there pulling for this fellow and I might add there must be plenty of "girlie" men as well that are having "wet dreams" about him!!!.....One good thing is that he's in the BOTTOM 3 so I say that he goes down next week...!!!!
