Each week, millions of people (the remainder from those who only opt to watch the auditions for a good laugh) rush to the TV to watch American Idol. Viewers watch the show awaiting the anticipated moment of casting votes for their favorite singer(s). Historically, I am not an avid American Idol fan, but this year for some reason, I was sucked in!
Needless to say, I have my favorites, and I have my least favorites...one of which being Sanjaya (another was Antonella Barba-but she's gone). Each week I have watched in utter disappointment as he squeaks by to the next week and they send home one "better" singer after another.
Well, today, I got some shocking news...it appears that he is a part of a website (and this is not word for word) that is designed for the "worst singer" to get votes to "keep America laughing." I also saw where Howard Stern urges his viewers to vote for the worst singer so as to "throw the vote."
I dont know how the rest of you feel, but I don't like this one bit. I mean what if it gets down to it, and he is competing with those like Jordan, Melinda, and Lakesha who have worked really hard and can really sing???
Your thoughts?

- I'm a twenty-(cough) year-old mother of 2 handsome young men who works for the local government. My interests include cooking, bowling, traveling, and watching GOOD movies. My favorite TV show of all time is Jeopardy, but there is nothing like watching some old re-runs of What's Happening, Good Times, Sanford & Son, and Martin. I have recently made a vow to "broaden my horizons" by acquiring some new hobbies...I have decided to start with reading. Other than that, I just enjoy life and strive for continuous improvement and success!

I really don't think that any one person is influential enough to throw the vote. Not even the lovely Howard Stern. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Sanjaya is Indian? Well, after discussing the possible reasons why he's still on the show with a friend, a conclusion has been made...India is what, the second most populous country in the world? Well, obviously his fellow natives are keeping him around :)
You know I thought that too until I heard (somewhere) that only "America" can vote for the "American" Idol??? Hopefully someone knows this for sure :)
There are tons of Indian people in America! Doesn't KY have any 7/11 's?!?!?!?
Nina-Ha...you're silly!!! Minor details! I guess I didn't think of it from that angle :)
