My Comments On Sanjaya Malakar

[Evil Chris]

Simon had been telling him for weeks that his performance was sub-par and not worthy of the show, and that America was keeping him on it.
Then, when asked by Ryan Seacrest if he thought he deserved to still be there, he kept saying "Yes of course"...

Chalk it up to being immature maybe, but what he should have said was that he took Simon's words to heart and will do his best to improve.

American Idol is becoming a joke anyway. I hope this is the last season.

Glad he had the confidence to continue on! Although I won't miss him! Now maybe we'll get the real show! I don't think I be watching if they have it again next season! It just has lost what it was supposed to be about!

The thing is though, he DID deserve to be there because of how that reality show is set up. Joke or not, people voted for him which kept him on the show.

Is he talented enough to be a professional singer? Fuck no.

thats why ai is planning on having a judge veto power set up for next year. what they didnt expect was that america would treat it as a joke and start voting for the worse just to screw up the results and simon. hey, its human nature to get a good laugh out of someone elses misery, and in this case.. Simon

That will be the worst thing to happen to the show. Allowing the millions of votes to become meaningless, pretty much kills the pretense the show is on.

Honestly, anybody that makes the final cut deserves to get voted for, period. Am I wrong in the fact that America gets to vote who wins? Obviously not if the producers are willing to ensure they let win who they want to win. Thus, the show is meaningless dribble.

Dunno how I missed this response the first time, but better late than never.

The veto power totally ruins the whole point of voting. They're pretty much saying "you get to vote, but if we don't agree with you, we're going to overrule you anyway".

I am not a fan of the show, and have never watched anything but the horrible auditions for a laugh. I personally see more value in it being turned in to a joke and the tables being turned on Simon. Watching the guy who shit on everyone get some back very likely made a lot of viewers happy.
