Sanjaya Blows on the Road

Posted Jul 13th 2007 2:00PM by TMZ Staff

The talent-free hairball that is Sanjaya is on the "American Idol" summer tour, and wouldn't you know it, he still can't sing a lick!

TMZ caught up with the vocally challenged Idol in Greenville, South Carolina where he successfully turned a cover of the classic "Life is a Highway" into road kill -- singing only a couple of the right words,running out of breath mid-performance, and resorting to the same head-shaking antics that previously made you want to throw your television out the nearest window. A little pitchy!

Chris Sligh joined Sanjy on stage, but looked like he didn't want anything to do with the singing part of the "performance" -- quietly playing his guitar on the opposite side of the stage while the lyric butchering commenced. While my guitar gently weeps!

32. I predict SanGAYa will be either on a cruise ship "entertaining" or touring with his boyfriend Tobey in a Cabaret-style revue...either way, he's a has-been who never had a chance

Posted at 5:29PM on Jul 13th 2007 by Bend over...no...the other way...there...that's it...now someone bring in the midgets

33. Leave the kid alone. He is better than the beatboxing duchebag.

36. Sanjaya is the comic relief for the tour. He has to be because you can't possibly believe
he can sing.

37. Went to the Tampa, Fla show.....Sanjaya was the least pitchy of all the idols. I believe that was because he wore ear plugs so he could hear himself. The musicians overplayed most of the singers. The Proud Mary number he did with Melinda was a shock. She brought out his macho side and he accentuated her sexy side..and both perfectly pitched. Lakisha blew the roof off the stadium. Wow! Chris was sooo flat and never again found his part until the end. I paid nearly $300 for my tickets. In spite of allthe technical dificulties and sour notes we had a good time....Thank you idols! Ps. Blake couldn't get the box to work right and Jordan was so hoarse she could hardly speak. Melinda, of course, was the true professional.

43. Wow.....what mean spirited people out there! Sanjaya is a nice kid, yes, I knew him when he lived in Hawaii. He is only 17 and so far he has gotten farther with his gig than most people writing this angry dribble probabaly have in their lives! Give the kid credit, at least he is trying and who knows where he will end up. And not that it matters, but for all of you homophobics out there, he is NOT Gay!

I want him to totally take off his shirt!!!!!!!!

45. Just to set the record straight, the only reason Sanloser got as far as he did on AI, was because the idiot retard that runs a site called "Vote For The Worst" got people to vote for him because they cannot stand the show, so they were trying to keep him on so the show would be ruined. It had 100%, absolutely nothing to do with talent, because he DOES NOT HAVE ANY. All his 11 year old fans need to get their hearing checked.
