Sanjaya Raises the Roof

After leaving last night's "American Idol" taping, Sanjaya proved he's just another awkward teen. Throw ya hands up!

Sanjy left the "A.I." studio and hammed it up for the cameras, even more than he did during his rendition of "Besame Mucho." Say cheesy!

Looks like Sanjaya was just happy that for once, Simon thought his performance "wasn't horrible." Too bad the same can't be said about the peach fuzz.

31. He will actually be a big hit in India and Europe, but not the USA.
And he will not win American Idol. If American votes correctly. Too many other
Idol's that sing better than he does. Be sad to see him win and all the other talent
get's single out because of this crazy game.

American Idol needs to limit the callers to 5 votes per phone number as Dancing with the Stars does.

32. don't watch this moronic show but since it's all over the internet in video and articles from what i read it sounds like these a.i. people are trying to save their multi million dollar franchise by trying to sway the public into believing he's a singer ,and they figure most people are so gullible they'll believe it if the a.i. franchise say's it ,wow scary

33. Is this guy related to somoene at TMZ? He must be or he must be paying you people a lot of money. to cover him. Why in the daylights is he being so overexposed it is pathetic on TMZ's website? Everytime I look at your site it is something about him, I dont wish a thing bad on the guy, but enough is enough.

34. I agree with Rick. I read an article (believe on Fox) where a girl admitted to 540 votes for Sanjaya. I like the 5 calls per phone number idea.

I mean...this isn't the Presidential election, but let's be real about letting the best talent win.

35. Remember that rapper SNOW?? His career is a lesson for Sanjaya to learn from.

39. Sanjaya fans are so disillusioned. He consistently picks songs that he can "talk" through. This is not singing. He is not a singer!!!! He has absolutely no range. Wake up people. This is a singing competition.

If he wins it will be because of these idiots with nothing better to do than vote hundreds of times for him (the few of them). It won't be because he is the most talented.

Although this year is definitely not the most exciting, there are certainly better singers than Sanjaya.

Blame it on the people who put him through to Hollywood - the judges!

41. I finally watched American Idol the week Tony Bennet was on it. When Sanjaya came on I thought he was delightful. I loved his energy. Even if he doesn't win American Idol, he should be able to be booked in clubs throughout the world. As should all of these singers be. They are all good. Sometimes the main prize may not be the best thing for you.

Not everyone likes a singer or that singer's style. For instance, some people love my voice and other people tell me not to quit my day job and look at me as if I have no potential. What matters is that I believe in myself.

I love Barbra Streisand and was so surprised when I talked with someone else and they did not share my opinion. Barbra Streisand is a treasure. Both great and small have those who support them and those who do not.

43. Alot of the people who vote are going to have a huge Phone Bill! I think they should limit the Call to one per person!

45. Come on weirdos..
you all want to get Sanjaya off bcoz you can see Haley in bikini or may be naked..
None talks abt her and she is acting like a b***h. day by day her dress is going up and her voice going down.
@least Sanjaya is on the rise when compared to others..

Mind you if Sanjaya is voted off then not many ppl will be talking abt Idol as the remaining in the show will be baldy, yucky drum beater and that loser Chris and then this Antonella imposter Haley, noneck girl Melimda (she is such a good actress !!!) and that desperrately seeking sympathy girl Lakisha!!

did I mention everyone???

I really appreciate everyone voting for Sanjaya.keep up the good work!!!
