Americans (or Estadophiles)! Tell me about Sanjaya Malakar, or tell me where people have been saying smart things? What I know:


  • He is in the final 9 finalists
  • He's not particularly technically good - or rather he seems to understand the shapes of the effects you want for rock/soul, but not what he has to sound like for them to traditionally 'work'
  • He's survived six rounds against opposition from the judges, to the point where Simon Cowell's stated he's going to quit if Sanjaya wins.
  • Some people, Howard Stern as an example, have been supporting a vote for him in order to, ahem, subvert the show into the tarmac.
  • Dudes on MySpace be on hunger strike until he's voted off (apparently)


Sanjaya on "Ain't No Mountain High Enough":



Sanjaya on "You Really Got Me":



CNN on Sanjaya:



(Should I really be shocked that I'm shocked by the homophobia on youtube comments? It seems so assumed, like a valid argument can be equal parts "he's technically deficient", "people are using him to game the system" and "he's gay", and all of the three parts are equally solid. I realise this is not officially a poptimists question.)
