Regardless of those who think
Sanjaya needs to be booted off
AI, they're just not listening. Why do so many preteens, teens and moms want Sanjaya to stay? It's easy -- he has a calm easy and true caring soul -- not often found in a 17-year-old!
Look at it this way, so far, the only true song critics and coaches who really know their stuff and have made a mark in America, all were impressed with Sanjaya. Even Randy, Paula and Simon have all said that he can sing -- they just want to see more of his personality and hear a little more of his voice.
While I personally don't own any of
Tony Bennett's tunes, he loved Sanjaya and Motown Megastar and top-selling women's recording artists,
Diana Ross, said that Sanjaya had a spirit that she hadn't seen in years...or something close to that.
Everything was summed up quite easily by
Jennifer Lopez, when she remarked that she was very impressed with Sanjaya and thought Simon would be too.
What I can't stand and feel is rudely unfair is for the media to come up with some stinky stuff by saying that Malakar can't sing -- no one on the American Idol show ever said that.
I doubt if any of the hundreds of radio and TV hosts, columnists, TV Show Producers and journalists, who have ALL jumped on the goofy "let's all say the same thing," band wagon, even watch the show -- or perhaps may have not ever even listened to him...how could they if they all retort the same old junk in their programs, columns and blogs?
That's just it -- one person in the media said he couldn't sing and all the rest followed like lost little puppies. Come on - be original. Give the guy a chance and watch the darn show before you open your mouth and offer
ridiculous opinions - (well OK, this one isn't as snotty or detrimental as most).
However - you guys are just not getting it.
Mom's love Sanjaya because he's everything we hope our little boys will grow up to be: Polite, Calm, Totally Down With Respect Toward Others, Hip, Cool (but not abrasive), sings amazingly well and in-tune and the list could go on forever!
Sanjaya hit the nail on the head when he replied to Simon's remarks, during the 04/03/07 show, "Welcome to Sanjaya's Universe!"
