"Idol" Reject Is Trying to Screw the Show

Paris Bennett votes for Sanjaya Malakar -- and she hopes it'll take down "American Idol."

Last season's petite powerhouse phoned into the "Tone E Fly Morning Show" in Minneapolis today, and called "Idol" "a joke," and said she and a few other contestants are using the Web site VotefortheWorst.com to screw with the results.

"We want to see him [Sanjaya] win because it'll kind of prove that 'American Idol' is kind of losing its taste," says Bennett, "it kinda isn't going for talent anymore and more for popularity."

At least she isn't bitter.

48. People are just realizing NOW that idol is a joke? lol, it's pretty much been down hill since Kelly Clarkson won. She's the only winner who has made a massive impact on the Top 40 charts all over the world, selling a whopping 14 million CDs. Carrie Underwood is a close second with her Country Music success. The runners up seem to fair better than the winners in the rest of the seasons. People like Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson, and Chris Daughtry have nothing to complain about after losing. Where's Taylor Hicks right now? Idol IS a joke... vote for Sanjaya. Idol kicked off incredibly talented people because they wanted Sanjaya's cute little face to be in the top 24. Why the hell wasn't Rachael Zevita there? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thjy5plN5xY Could it be that she doesn't look like Katharine McTaTa's or what? Vote for Sanjaya everyone... it might get Idol to reform their habit of picking people for looks rather than talent. Perhaps if Rachael hadn't had braces.... ??? Oh well, at least they saved room from the talentless Sanjaya. : o |

49. Paris is trying to regain her 15 minutes of fame off of Sanjaya because she can't get a major record deal. Sour Grapes.

50. I'll bet Paris would do a sex-tape if she could find a willing partner.

51. This is ALL the 3 judges FAULT. They should never have allowed Sanjaya to go to Hollywood to being with. I wouldn't doubt if they planned this outcome themselves.

52. That's really funny because last year she was the contestant that stayed WAY too long. Every week we thought she was going to be voted off because she SUCKED. It's rather ironic that she's bemoaning the popularity angle because that's the only reason she stayed so long; everybody thought she was cute.

I thought she was a little wannabe whiny bitch and last yeay my greastest wish was that instead of calling to vote for who to keep on, we could vote for who to kick off!!

53. i'm probably one of five people in the world who has never watched an AI season from beginning to end. i usually watch the beginning because it's so hilarious!...and keep up w/entertainment news on the judges. i have no idea who paris bennett is...BUT i do like sanjaya! he's such a cutie and has charisma! he seems like a sweet innocent kid. truly, how can people knock him?? like someone else said, MADONNA has been selling cd for years!! if britney, JLO, and God help us, ASHLEE SIMPSON AND HER SISTER can sell cd's and not actually sing, why can't sanjaya??? they can't all be mariah careys or christina aguileras!!

55. What an ungrateful little witch. She would never have been as popular had it not been for this show. SHe better think about what she is doing to the people that are up there WITH talent. That is so unfair.

Ungrateful little maggot.........................

Posted at 2:56PM on Apr 13th 2007 by Paris is Ungrateful

56. What a total sore loser bitch!!

57. The truth is that entertainment is a total package. In this competition singing is part of it, but not all of it. Looks, personality, popularity are a huge part of it. I find it interesting that Simon keeps saying this season that it is a singing competition. If they were looking for singing only we wouldn't see the contestents, they would be behind a curtain and everyone knows that.

58. Wow, Paris, not a smart thing to say or do just before the release of your own album. I, for one, will not be buying it now. And everyone is right, talk about sour grapes!!!!!

59. Paris, I never voted for you because you were so annoying! I just listened to your interview and I'm glad you lost. Wish you had been voted off sooner with that attitude. If you were competing this season, would you want people swaying the votes for Sanjaya? So why is it ok now? Loser!

60. AI is one of the few shows you can watch as a family. Why do people want to ruin the show? Hey I don't like CSI, any of them, but I don't try and get it taken off the air. I just don't watch it. So to the people like Howard Stern, that want to ruin AI, and that silly web site, do something positive with all this energy your putting into destroying a TV show, and leave the viewing of it to those those of us with families who like it!
