I wasn't a big fan of American Idol too, not until I saw Sanjaya. I did exactly what Mira did....didn't watch American Idol again when he got voted off. I got a chance to see him again but this time it was different because I'm not seating in my living room. I went to see one of their "live tour ".I made sure I get the best seat... which I did.Like Mira said "poeple of all ages will adore him" and I'm one of them. Sanjaya wil always be my IDOL!!!

After he was voted off, I didn't watch again (except the finale-to see him) and don't plan on watching again. Whatever his critics want to say is fine, but the fact is that he is one very talented young man who has a gorgeous voice. If his career is managed properly and the right choices are made, he can have a hugely successful career. He has all the talent, charisma and personality he needs to reach superstardom. People of all ages just adore him. He's the real deal. I was never a big fan of American Idol, but I tuned in all of last season for only one reason…Sanjaya.

Everyone can see the way there were trying to pull Sanjaya down because he wasnt progressing fast enough for them. This entire show is nothing more than a bank deposit to AI. And whats worse is, its not the contestants they are #ucking with the most. Its us. Anything to get their hands on our money is fair game to AI. They just didnt want Sanjaya to win that record deal. Well it all worked out for the best because Sanjaya has many more opportunities now and with his drive and determination he can pick and chose the path of entertainment he wishes to follow. But AI has lost much credibility last year. I dont know who can really trust their motives and voting tallys anymore. Make no mistake, Sanjaya Malakar did win American Idol 2007 in the hearts and minds of many.

It was a telethon. There's nearly always a significant spike during a telethon: an extra 10 or 20pc wouldn't have been out of the question by any means. Instead, people didn't bother watching. For me and them, Sanjaya was the most interesting thing about the show. Given that articles about the new season seldom fail to mention him, arguably he still is. Best of luck to him. He deserves everything good that comes his way. On the first Sanjaya-less night, the hyped and celeb-studded Idol Gives Back show lost 9pc of its ratings. It was a telethon.

Whether you are watching him on television, at a concert, or simply saying hello - there is a pure soul and genuine quality about him that makes him so different than any other contestant that graced the stage on American Idol, or any person for that matter. There is a deep sense of strength and groundedness he holds and has held through the AI competition that resonated in his eyes and smile that left such a lasting impression in the hearts of his most loyal fans to date. The show offered just the slightest glimpse into the talent that is Sanjaya. The tour reinforced the simple truth of just how amazing he is. His fans fell in love with him all over again and it was as if the new fans saw him emerge to his true potential for the very first time. Again, this is all just the beginning of a bright future for Sanjaya Malakar. He has yet to leave us all humbled and forever proud in the person he is.

It should never have been this way. Sanjaya had every ingredient in place to be America's Sweetheart... for all the RIGHT reasons. He was adorable, with a charismatic personality, cute looks, a great smile, great hair and a good voice with the potential to be great (he just needed to work on his dynamics a little more in the beginning). Had he been on any other show than AI, with Simon tearing him down week after week, he would have been an instant star, without having to pay the price of all the polarizing controversy his presence generated. I still think he can come back strong. America loved him before Simon Cowell, Howard Stern and others turned his AI run into a mockery. I think he just has to get in touch again with that quality, that initial spark people first saw in him, before things turned ugly. His performances and reception during the tour proved that he can command a stage and entertain. I saw complete 360 turnabouts made from skeptics during that tour. The kid does have talent, and one day soon he is going to shine brighter than ever before. There’s some truth to this though it makes me sad in a way. It should never have been this way.

This is sort of good point of view. The irony of it is when Sanjaya was on TV screen and we could see him, what did we see? That was polarizing. Sanjaya is a "second look boy." He didn't impress me much at first, but, when I looked closer, I was really shocked. Gosh! Kid has talent! I hope he will have successful career. And about "Keep Malakar on the show for shock value, but not to the point that it ruins your charity event. I wouldn’t be surprised." I'm pretty sure that was a cause. I miss him.. He was entertaining. You know what? This is sort of good point of view. The irony of it is when Sanjaya was on TV screen and we could see him, what did we see?
