| Sanjaya American Idol |
A conspiracy was brewing again on American Idol last season, the popular FOX network television program. No, I'm not talking about Paula Abdul scheduling private tudor lessons with some of the male hopefuls, but a company wide conspiracy to prevent Sanjaya, a 17 year old male from winning the contest.
Simon Cowell, the producer and general partner of American Idol vowed not to return to Idol if Sanjaya won. Even Paula and Randy stopped critiquing Sanjaya knowing what they said fell on deaf ears for the fans continued to vote for him. Or did they?
It's been learned that Howard Stern, radio shock jock, started a campaign to vote for Sanjaya to disrupt American Idol. It seemed to work. Stern knew if Sanjaya won, American Idol would be on it's way out. Stern had the axe out chopping away.
Don't be surprised to see new voting changes when Idol debuts in 2008. With the ability of tens of thousands of people voting over and over for their favorite contestant to sway the contest, look for a maximum vote allowed for each phone, A limit of 5-10 would put everyone back on a level playing field. Expect a huge outcry from many groups claiming unfair rule changes. It's only going to get better.
If Sanjaya did win, Henry Winkler would have been the host next season. As many of you remember, while playing the "Fonz" in the popular TV sitcom Happy Days, he actually jumped a shark to prove he was not afraid. American Idol is circling the shark tank right now.
LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL
I wanted to clean up my sailor mouth so that I didn't accidentally let out any expletives while home for the holidays. I started saying Sanjaya Malakar as my new "four letter" word. It stuck and I still use it and others have started as well.
ReplyDeleteI think there is some sort of conspiracy that puts such tripe on our TV screens! Must be George Bush!
ReplyDeleteWell Holy Sanjaya, that's a Malakar novel idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh and for you commenting.
Tonite, the top 12 guys performed live for the first time during American Idol, Season 7. Each contestant had to sing a song from the 60s. My early favorites are Robbie Carrico (I really liked his performance tonite), David Cook , Michael Johns , and J...

This entire situation is extremely messed up and I hope it doesn’t ruin the show. There is an interesting article on celebtv.com with quotes from some of the producers denying that any of this is true…they had other american idol articles and too
