I “watch” Sligh with my eyes shut, too! I thought it was just me. And your scenario with Sanjaya winning is alarming, I must say. The good news is that I think there’s enough producer input to the votes (manipulative and all though it may be) that it’ll never happen. But I’ve been wrong before, heaven knows.

This year if those vote-skewing groups get their way, Sanjaya will make it to the finale, only to discover that the only people who’ll buy his album (which the show is legally obligated to produce under the terms of the contest) are those who own Wm. Hung’s.

And thus ends American Idol!

I’m with a popular radio morning show out here in Oregon….Sanjaya looks so much like Mowgli from The Jungle Book that once you start thinking of him in those terms, 1) he’s impossible to think of otherwise, and 2) his complete lack of anything approaching talent becomes less painful and more humorous in a vaguely William Hung way.

Quite!

Unfortunately, she also gave an incentive to all of the other little girls who want to be on AI so they can cry and hug their favorites.

I’m with David J — hide the cell phones next week!

and survived another round in the contest that defines this country as much as Nascar, the Superbowl, presidential elections and monster trucks. It is finally time to acknowledge that the inexplicable and frightening Sanjaya juggernaut has reachedcrisisproportions and something must be done about it before it is too late. Sanjaya seems like a nice kid and his singing is really no worse than many pop stars, including American Idol judge Paula Abdul herself. But this is not a small-town talent show we
