Sanjaya -- Loser of the Year

He's been, thankfully, out of the limelight since "Idol" ended -- but Sanjaya was seen in Hollywood last night, hair and all.


The horrendous crooner was a guest of horror honor at the FOX Reality Channel Really Awards, walking away with the coveted Favorite Loser trophy.

Though he didn't exactly win big inside, at least one person still likes him -- a girl was heard shouting, "You're the hottest." No word on if she had 20/20 vision.

You guys crack me up. You actually fake dated this post to cover up the fact that you stole the info from www.rickey.org .

I was on your site earlier, and this was NOT posted at the time you claim.

Also, he may have won the other award too...it will not be announced until the 13th. He won this one - which is why he agreed to appear on the show.

TMZ is filled with homophobic tools...it really bugs the hell out of you guys that you can't stop dreaming of Sanjaya at night....

Congrats to Sanjaya, the real winner of AI6! The seats at the tour would have been completely empty if it wasn't for him and all his fans.

He and his beautiful sis Shyamali looked fantastic at the show. If FOX wants a real wiiner of a show, they will offer brother and sister a variety show like Donnie & Marie had.

Ok you guys need to stop. Sanjaya is an amazing singer, and certainly an awesome entertainer, you might want to get YOUR eyes and ears checked.

MJ RIP:  1594 days ago

please stop, you are truly bringing humanity to a new low.

I know you are proud of it, and you whore yourselves out for a buck, but come on. You are only adding fuel to all antisemitism in this world...

What does this say about our people? Is this what we died for? To show everyone they are right about us. Harvey and Teresa Strasser, you should be ashamed. Funny, I know you aren't and never will be. You will just make it harder for the rest of us.

Sanjaya Rocks! He's gorgeous and definitely the "only" reason I even bothered to watch AI6 in the first place. Sanjaya's got a great voice, is totally talented and is a fantastic entertainer! Sanjaya kicked ass on the concert tour -- everyone else put me to flippin sleep!) The AI concert this year would have been BORING if it weren't for Sanjaya! Sanjaya is the star of the show.

TMZ .. you suck .. go back to the gutter where you belong!

You guys suck. Sanjaya is nothing but sweet and a true gentleman (I'm sure there's not a single one at TMZ). He's not flashing anything but that wonderful smile so go dog on Britney or Lohan and leave this guy alone!

AI's ratings plumeted 9% when they kicked him off. Yeah, they kicked him off. No one goes from the top three to being voted off before a big charity scam show (hey TMZ - why don't you look into THAT)

I don't understand why you stubbornly persist in putting Sanjaya down. He is young, talented and adorable, and has something that the entertainment world has been sorely lacking for a long time-a young performer with star power who has not (at least yet) been spoiled by Hollywood, turned into a brat or a human trainwreck. He reminds me very much of other young r&b performers like Michael Jackson (in his prime) and Stevie Wonder, back when he was still Little Stevie. I have been listening to a lot of Top 40 pop lately, both recent and songs from the last 30 years. Vocally, Sanjaya is as good as most of the big names who've made it out there, and is better than more than a few. (Would you honestly argue that Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake can outsing him? Gimme a break!) Even pop icons like Michael Jackson never had great voices...Michael became famous for having a whiny, annoying falsetto; Rod Stewart sounds like someone scraping nails on a chalkboard; people like Paul McCartney, John Meyer, etc have even softer voices than Sanjaya's; Dave Matthews just sounds whiny and affected; Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones can't even carry a tune when he sings live!So you tell me, if any of these people can have careers, there's certainly no reason why Sanjaya, who is at least pleasing eye candy, is adorable and charismatic and with a nicely pitched, smooth, instantly identifiable voice, cannot make it. I have bought most of his studio downloads, and any of these could be an instant radio hit if people would just shake off their prejudice and give him a fair listen. Sadly, there are too many hack journalists such as those of you at TZM who still want to keep him among the downtrodden, for whatever reason. I can only chalk it up to pure jealousy or mean-spirited hatefulness.

And BTW, Sanjaya has MANY fans and yes, our eyesight is just fine and dandy. YOU are the one who is blind! And stupid. Not to mention short-sighted.
