	I LOVE Sanjaya! I think the press and media made so much fun of him that Sanjaya has become a &quot;household word&quot;! I think American idol is still very credible! I can&#039;t get enough of it! I think Sanjaya will be very famous in other areas!

	Sanjaya is Sanjaya &gt; Why do you want Sanjaya to be like some other American singer.I believe there are no rules to sing.He sang the way he knows to sing.You should give it a try too.I wonder if he is not Black enough or White enough to be on this show.

<description>
	sanjaya is just a fad and in no way would affect a tv giant like american idol.

besides, i don&#039;t think sanjaya lacks the talent.  all 24 idol contestants who were chosen among the many hopefuls were chosen because they do have the talent one way or the other.   just like you, it just so happen that sanjaya was competing among the best and that overshadows his talent.  
it&#039;s not just about singing.  it is also the ability to connect with viewers.  

for the record, i am not a sanjaya fan.  it&#039;s just my unbiased opinion.

<description>
	Sanjaya should have left after his first few performances. It is rude of him to stay on a show for singers when he knows that he can&#039;t sing. I think that a few people will watch Idol again next year, but if something similar to this year happens, I think that most fans will stop watching.

<description>
	Sanjaya&#039;s defeat into the final top Six in The American Idols
is a victory itself in a sense that he has achieved much in hi
perserverance as an entertainer.  He is so good in his delivery of Tony Bennet &#039;s classic.  He&#039;s so much beter than William Hung so to speak.  It&#039;s a pop phenomenon.  Why should Sanjaya&#039;s success be of negative impact to the show.  In fact, he&#039;s being raved in jokes favourablely in other
USA media show.  He will be a star of his statue in time to 
come with proper vocal training and grooming.  The mass
participants of the Americans&#039; public has cast their votes, so why upset their sheer estatic response in popular culture.
In truth, it is all a matter of   courage, luck and delivery.  He&#039;s
versatile in his own ways...just remember his &quot; hairdo&quot; in one show.

<description>
	As I was scanning through the answers, a lot of people had very negative things to say about the show.  But some of the same people still watch it every Tuesday-Thursday or whenever.  Sanjaya was not the first person that made it further than (in somes opinion) he should have. Some have even won...The credibility changes ever season. My opinion is that if u like it then continue to watch it...if not...do not watch it.Then we will really see the real impact.

<description>
	I think it&#039;s too simplistic to blame it entirely on votefortheworst.com, as others do. It&#039;s been around for quite some time and they&#039;ve never &quot;supported&quot; someone who has lasted so long.

Sanjaya appealed, for whatever reason, to a section of the populous. Although I wasn&#039;t a fan of his at all, I was pleased to see a wider group of races represented by the finalists this season, and that could have helped him. He did also appeal to younger girls, just like Anthony Federov and others before him.

Having been a fan of AI since its conception, I will continue to watch. I don&#039;t doubt its credibility any more than I did before. It&#039;s a reality show, and they manipulate things. That&#039;s clear. For example, Clay Aiken was certainly downplayed by Simon repeatedly in an effort to make Ruben win, and it happened. Similarly, Carrie was overpraised many times so that she would win. (And I love Carrie now, so don&#039;t shoot me as a Carrie hater!) Reality television is not particularly real. It&#039;s controlled reality.

However, in the end, I simply blame the American public for Sanjaya&#039;s long run on Idol. They voted for him.

	I have been a fan of American Idol since it&#039;s beginning.  Personally, I think that because of this controvery over Sanjaya, Idol&#039;s credibility will go down!  I am, quickly losing interest in the show that I once thought was wonderful for artist, to try to make in the music industry.  It&#039;s like they have made a mockery of the show now.  It&#039;s not fair to honest people, putting themselves out on the line to make it!

	Just a little extra publicity won&#039;t hurt any show.  Now that he&#039;s gone; it&#039;s down to the nitty gritty!  With 4 left, it&#039;s getting goooood.,.....  God bless Sanjaya!  Best of luck to him.  He wasn&#039;t a bad singer; he just wasn&#039;t as good as the ones left now.  You gotta admit it....he does have something.  That star quality thang going on.  Best luck to him, you gotta know, we haven&#039;t seen the last of him.

	While I believe that Sanjayah&#039;s continued &#039;success&#039; on the show, whether due to &quot;vote for the worst&quot; or any other group pushing to keep him on, impacts the creditability of the show, I give kudos to idol for balancing that with its efforts to give back and the appearance of bigger and better names than ever on the show this season.  While fans will be upset and vow never to watch again, they&#039;ll be back for more, it&#039;s addictive!

	Jeez... I can&#039;t stand Idol. The contestant&#039;s singing really unnerves me. The only good one so far was Blake Lewis, other than that the singing is soo boring &amp; I just fast forward on TiVo.

Sanjaya was the only single entertainment that I would look forward to. I only like the idol episodes from the beginning auditions when they show really hilarious people singing. 
Other than that, I don&#039;t see why I would watch the show.

it made everyone hate it
its so stupid for good singers to be sent home and then keep the idiots on there. 
i mean of course everyone in the top 12 can sing or else they wouldnt be there.. but alot of it is based on looks. i mean who has got the ferthest off that show? its always the young pretty girls and sumtimes the hot guys.... none of the remaining people on there will get anywhere bc they dont have the &quot;look&quot; haley had it but w/e losers voted her off and kept ugly sanjaya on there.

	It makes it bad for those with real talent. AI did give him a lot of air time. AI should limit the number of phone calls per phone line. I wish I was on AI sang badly and became famous like him. Everyone knows who Sanjaya is and his lack of talent made him famous.  Just like William Hung.  He&#039;s rich now.  Maybe the judges should have input or get a gong like the Gong Show.. it&#039;s just not interesting anymore.

And i got to say that i feel for Sanjaya that poor kid yes KID does not realize that he could not sing that well .i am really scared for him what he might end up doing. I mean all the rumors and jokes Imogene when he comes back down to reality and goes back to school i am afraid it is not going to be pretty.I guess you can say we the public are responsible for the time he stayed after the judges but the only reason they never let him go was because he was bringing in the ratings

	the people have the power. i think sanjaya&#039;s success showed just how important - or all-important, as it is in this case - the votes of each viewer is. if everyone decided to vote based on something other than talent, their votes would still prevail. i am hoping though, that the viewers of Idol would take this responsibility more seriously next season. Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and others were true stars that were discovered on the show. It would be a shame if the show strayed from its original mission and went downhill after this.

<description>
	It was too late last year when The finals were marred by the group www.votefortheworst.com. Lets face it the best singers do not always when the contest. The first year went fine. The second year was a mistake as record sales demonstrate. The third year was a shambles as the final song was a gospel song and lets face it that was stacking the deck in Fantasia&#039;s favor. The fourth year you got voted off way too early, shameless suck up though it is the truth, you should have at least been in the final three, and the fifth year was a travesty as the the final pair have no chance of out selling Chris Daughtry who they ironically use as the kiss off song this year &quot;Home&quot;. Sanjaya will be gone in four weeks like Kelly Pickler who actually was good looking and could sing some. This boy is so off key and pitchy it is pathetic. I blame Simon for him even being there. They were trying to appease the teen audience by putting him in the final 24 but that was a mistake as was letting Antonella Barba in the final 24 but she was voted out, barely. Add to the computer people the show &quot;American Dreamz&quot; which has a talentlesss boy like Sanjaya and apretty girl like Haley and you would swear this was life imitating fiction. Then howard Stearn jumped into the mess and through his support behind the boy and that is when it got out of hand. Sanjaya has been the topic of television talk show hosts for weeks. He now calls himself &quot;The Sanjaya Universe&quot;. I think he is beginning to believe he can win it all. He is William Hung gone a rye. they are trying to regain their credibility with this upcoming celebration show with past talent , hopefully like yourself, shameless suck up again, and Kelly Clarkson but even that may not be enough. When guests like Diana Ross, Qwen Steffani and Tony Bennett don&#039;t tell the boy the truth there is a lack of credibility built up there. This is supposed to be a talent competition, singing also, but talent above all else and this guy has the appearance and voice of any high school performer. I don&#039;t know if it is possible but you guys who know better need to get in there and at least teach the boy what he is doing wrong so that at least he is learning something. And have somebody, tell paula to stop babying these people. Doolittle needs a hair cut so she looks like she has a neck. Lakisha needs to stop dressing like she feels she has to be sexy to be attractive. The boys just need new wardrobes. Jordin is doing fine so far. And Haley is oozing sex from every pore but she sings like a beauty show contestant instead of like a pop singer. These people need to learn to emote when they sing and stay on the note and one the beat as well. Melinda and Lakisha are semi professionals so they should be perfect at this point. They seem a bit old for this contest but that is neither here nor there. What I guess the show could do is let Simon attack them scathingly and Randy and Paula too. It has to be done. It also would be correct to try and make something out of the people who have been kicked off before they get the chance to go elsewhere and prove the show is a joke at predicting great talent anymore. By the way, while I am buttering you up, shameless suck up yet again, why aren&#039;t your albums in the chains like BestBuy? It has been years now and I am tired of them not being there. Get the people to back your albums. I have people who want copies and can&#039;t find them except on the internet. Work on that while you are at it.

PS. Happy Greek Easter. 
It&#039;s getting the show talked about.
That&#039;s what the producers want.
There&#039;s already 1,667 questions about Sanjaya, and that&#039;s just from the people that can spell his name correctly.
I typed it into the &#039;search for questions&#039;.
The show&#039;s credibility has never been high.
Not with Paula Abdul as one of the judges. 
 The show is called American IDOL, not America&#039;s Best Singer. It&#039;s only appropriate that personal charm should count, too. Sanjaya...Sanjaya...Sanjaya...... wow.
He should have been gone weeks ago.
I really think that if he continues to stay on the show, American Idol isnt going to be respected anymore. This is a singing contest.....and he cant sing to the standards of the other singers around him. 


 I&#039;m outraged! We&#039;ve had some duds before (Scott Savol, Chicken Little), but never anything like this! I honestly think I could get better reviews from the judges than Sanjaya. I&#039;m not as interested in the show as I was before, so I guess I feel the show is losing its essence too. Granted, I feel that the purpose of the show is to find good performers, not necessarily ARTISTS (which is very different), but it&#039;s still fun to see gifted people put on their best on TV. I don&#039;t like Sanjaya&#039;s performances for a few reasons, and the saddest part is that he might think he&#039;s actually as good as the others.
As for the judges, I think it&#039;s a good thing for them to be totally honest. There&#039;s no reason to give someone false hope and let them waste their time trying to become something they never will be. They&#039;ll find out the hard way eventually, which can be worse. And as for the girlies who love Sanjaya, look kids, the guy is gay. So move on to somebody who will even CONSIDER going out with you. It&#039;s stupid to chase after someone who plays for the other team. And I noticed that there&#039;s a lot of thumbs down given to the answers. Yep, some sensitive little Sanjaya girlie fan is offended and wants to show some RAH RAH for her man! Yeah, go ahead and give me thumbs down.
 I don&#039;t think it will effect the credibility - but I do think it is sad that people would be so ridiculous to follow the directions of Howard Stern to ruin a perfectly good talent show like American Idol. I think they should be able to sue that man for trying to ruin their program. If Sanjaya was a decent person he would just drop out. It&#039;s the public who is keeping him in. especially when you have howard stern and others promoting people who don&#039;t deserve to still be in the competition. i don&#039;t think it will ruin the credibility but the producers may need to change how much imput the public should continue to have and the judges will need to make sure that only the very best get pass hollywood week b/c they are the ones who make the descion on who makes it into the top 12 not america. i&#039;m sure they are sorry they chose him over his sister.

<description>
	The truth of the matter is that Sanjaya was not a good singer in any aspects. Even his best performance, Besame Mucho, did not compare to some of the frontrunner&#039;s worst performances. I think the judges thoguht he did deserve to make the top 24, but that was because there were worse singers, plus he did ok during his auditions. But starting with his weird performance during the second week of the semifinals, the Sanjaya contreversy began. This was the same week that he stayed over AJ Tabaldo, who was one of the best males on the show. The same thing happened the next week with Sundance. In fact, he was the one on the hook with the person being voted off for the first 4 weeks of the live show. (With Rudy, with AJ, with Sundance, and with Brandon, all of them leaving with Sanjaya safe.) After he was in the bottom 2 the top 12 week, Vote For the Worst had huge success, and he was not in the bottom for many weeks, which is when he went home.

The week he went home, I don&#039;t know how he did. It could have been that America got sick of him. VFTW could have been slacking. It&#039;s possible that he didn&#039;t get the lowest votes, but American Idol changed the results (although I doubt it.) I also heard that country fans do not like that song he sang. 

I don&#039;t know if Idol will regain its fans&#039; trust. Maybe the people who didn&#039;t like Sanjaya will say that  since he finally got sent home, they will trust Idol again. Or they could say that he was on for too long, and they will no longer trust the show. 

The people that did like Sanjaya may say that since he had such a long run they will trust Idol. Or they may say that since they could have ditched their rules to boot Sanjaya, they will not trust Idol.


Overall, this is a great question, and the answer is it depends on the person.

	I personally hated him. I though the couldnt sing and was only there because the show wanted him there to show that some one from his background could make it. It questions the watchers trust in the show. I think that it was fixed to keep him there and now don&#039;t really know if the right one is going to win.

<description>
	Well, as we know he was kicked out about a month ago. But, according to intereviews and magazine articles on the Top 12, he wihes to go inot acting, singing, and modeling. He has a lot of fans as we saw during his survival in the Top 12, but obviously he did&#039;nt have enough. Idol contestans do get paied week by week,and they get paied big bucks from what i hear. Anyways, he is a Jounior or Senior in High School, so the kid has got plaenty of time to go to colage and redeem hislef, even though he will probably be just as remembered as William Hung. Also, Idol top 10 goes on tour after the Finals, so he gets paied from that too. He is a lucky kid. Idol fans for sure gained back it&#039;s trust, although after the loss of Malinda Doolittle after last weeks eliminations, i think many just gave up. I didn&#039;t. Both my favorite contestants are safe!! As for me..lets just say, i wasn&#039;t the biggest fan of Sanjya.I thought Shakira Look-alike should have taken his place..but i wont be a hater....
