Paula -- No Sympathy for Sanjaya

Posted Apr 19th 2007 10:40AM by TMZ Staff

Now that he's been booted from "American ldol," Paula Abdul couldn't care less about Sanjaya Malakar.

TMZ caught the loopy "Idol" judge outside Mr. Chow last night, where she went to chow down after the results show, in which the Sanjaya the Ponyhawked Wonder got the ax. When asked her feelings on his exile, Abdul wasn't exactly sympathetic, brushing off the question with a "Oh he'll be fine," and proceeded to sign photos for waiting autograph hounds.

With Sanjaya's media attention and lightweight vocals gone, Paula added, "The competition's gonna start getting heavy."

61. All i want to know is, why did they put him through to the top 24? They know he couldn't sing form the beginning. People with real talent have missed out on chances b/c they put him through in the first place. First when they were picking out the top 24, there were a few other gentlemen that should have had the chance to sing their to the top 12. Then what happened to American when at least 2 youngmen where voted off trying to get to the top 12. That is at least 4 young men that deserved a shot over Sanjaya and one female from the top 12. I'm just glad that the remaining idols are people that deserve to be there. This is finally a real competition.

62. Poor, Sanjaya. I think he can become a huge star if he wants. He would just have to work on his voice, and that's it. Everyone does not have to be a power house vocalist. He has that extra something, charisma, whatever you want to label it, he's got "IT". Trust me on this one Sanjaya will be around for a long time and he'll just get better and better.

63. i really didnt mind listening to sanjaya sing when he first came on the show, but his continued bad hair days were getting more and more outrageous every week, so i am glad he's out of there.

64. Come on Fanajayas, even Paula is glad he's gone. How in the world can you compare him to Brad Pitt...??

65. Oh Please! Paula doesn't even know what she says, she's high people! Sanjaya was and always will be the best American Idol contestant ever! You haters are either racist or jealous that he gets all this female attention, Sanjaya has more charisma than all of the top 24 contestants combined! Get over it people, you'll be seeing Sanjaya pop out again soon!
