Sanjaya -- Screw You "Haters!"

Sanjaya believes that his fans, not Howard Stern, kept him alive on "Idol."

Malakar, the Ponyhawked Wonder who was given the ax this week, was a constant joke for the shock jock, who urged his listeners to vote for Sanjaya to screw with the "Idol" system -- by intentionally voting for "the worst."

Malakar tells Ellen DeGeneres he doesn't believe that Stern's fans and other "haters" voted enough "to make a dent in the system." While confident, and perhaps delusional, Sanjy feels it was his own large fan base that kept the straining singer around for so long.

Sanjy also reveals, in an interview airing Monday on Ellen's talk show, that if he were to shave his hair, he'd donate it to the Britney-esque Phil Stacey -- though it's doubtful Phil would consider it a good luck charm!

16. Sanjaya, you can't sing that well but you sure were the BEST entertainer this season. I truly hope good things come your way because man, I am going to miss you. It's going to be boring now. Best of Luck!

18. Sanjaya saved Idol from being a sleep fest this year. Is he legal?? He was born here, you moron. I don't know what his future holds, but it won't be flipping burgers. I see the same high school kid is in charge of TMZ for the week end. Lots of Sanjaya trashing and lots of boobie pictures. If I had any respect for this site, it would be gone.

19. I think Sanjaya has gotten more confident since his tryout for American Idol.
He wasn't as confident as is not--in my opinion.
Good work Sanjaya!

20. Oy, he was so bad it was cringeworthy watching him. He is kinda cute in a weird way. I am sure all the teenage girls whose judgement, good taste, and critical skills have been clouded by their hormones will pay big bucks for hisconcerts. He'll be fine after all is said and done.

22. He is very popular. The fact that TMZ keeps writing about him proves that. He may not can sing all that well (I've never heard him), but you remember his name and his hair styles.

24. Sanya has a lot of fans and we hope to hear him sing again or appear on a television series. He is only 17 and incredibly charismatic.

26. Quote:
Did anyone with the show check to see if he was an illegal?
Does he even have a green card?

I don't even believe how racist the country is becoming. NOT every BROWN is illegal. But to answer your question, yes, they check legal status. IE the one kid who was here on a "student visa" was kicked off in Hollywood because it wasn't a "work visa"
