This kid's too much of a dweeb. NO chance he'll win it... one of the girls will win, I believe it will definitely be one of the black ones, I'd put my money on the one with the short hair (I'll start remembering their names now that we're down to 12).
If America votes this kid as the next American Idol then I'll leave the country. I would not want to be associated with America or Americans if this dork becomes the country's next pop star. Having to be associated as a 'fellow American' of GWB is enough

I completely agree with Simon. I think Sanjaya should have been gone two weeks ago if not longer. He has not performed as well as some of the other contestants that have been knocked off the show. I think the voters should get the bird crap out of their ears and pay attention to how the contestants are sounding. It's not a "LOOKS" or "RACIAL" competition. It's a vocal competition. Wake up America....Pay Attention!!

If Simon wants to quit then go ahead....like anyone's gonna miss you! So what if Sanjaya becomes the next American Idol, it's not up to Simon who wins, America's votes determine. So he should just do his job, Sanjaya can sing he just needs to put in more power into his singing.
Is Simon being a racist now? If only the judges got the finaly say after all the votes were in then maybe Simon wouldnt consider quitting, he would have told Sanjaya to go home, but too bad it is AMERICAN IDOL! America determines who will win.

Sanjaya should quit the show. He is young and will get over the pain. This is true with that girl Hazel or Haley. The one that Simon said last week's performance was horrible. If I were their family and friends I would tell them to simply give a brief press interview stating that they know they don't deserve to be among the top 12. American Idol would bring back the heavy duty vocalist male guy and the female vocalist, both who should definitely be in the top twelve. Oh the enormous pressure on Sanjaya and dear Haley or Hazel.

I hope that kid wins if it also gets rid of Simon. Let America's vote select who is the American Idol, not Simon. Music is not about good singers anymore, that many of us a looking for toda. It's this generation's turn and fans can be fickle when it comes down to selecting who they want,not always about real talent, but it's their choice. Simon may have spoken too soon and go back to England.

Well, i think simon cowell is going a little too much. Does he have anything against Indian people? Let him leave the show.Who Cares? If he is that much of a racist let him leave. I am actually quite happy that sundance left. Simon used to be my favourite judge but i think that he sucks now.
I feel that Sanjaya is a very decent and sweet boy. Infact, i feel that Simon should get kicked out of the show now for saying that. Who does he think he is? The king? Yeah right. Ask him to Back off from the show!

There's no way that kid should win! I was shocked when he took a barstool instead of Sundance! (And also, Haley over Sabrina was a crime!) Simon is awesome and 9 times out of 10, I agree with him! It's a little harsh of him to single Sanjaya out, but it is the truth! His comments have nothing to do with his nationality, just his lack of singing ability, in comparision to the others!

Okay, the racist comments are just stupid. There are three black women, one part-black woman, and one black man in the competition. What does Sanjaya being Indian have to do with the price of tea in China? Sanjaya can't sing, plain and simple. I blame them for putting him through to the top 24. They did this same thing with Kevin Covais last year, and here it is again, biting them in the rear end. To be honest, however, Sundance wasn't much better than Sanjaya. The issue now is that Sanjaya is the worst one left, and he needs to go this week. I can't stand looking or listening to him.

First of all, Simon is acting like a spoiled child with his ultimatum. He says its america who does the voting. But i am sure it's not america who control who wins. We all know who can sing and who can't. I am not defending the young indian boy, but if you take a world famous judge, and a young unknown, and ask for america to choose, who do you think they will choose. For myself, if that is a way to get rid of Simon, so be it, maybe we would get a more compassionate and down to earth judge. Simon, quit acting like a spoiled brat by pulling rank to get him voted off the show. It is very unappealing and you seem to be showing that side of you all the time. We know he wont win, but Simon, you dont have to rub it in his poor young innocent face. Shame on you!

First of all, everything SImon says is typically true. ET played back every comment he ever said about Jennifer Hudson, and 95% of them were complimentary. America is the blame for not voting her into the top two or better.
And as for Sanjaya - he can't sing. It has nothing to do with his race. he has a nice voice, but he's young and needs to develop it. The problem is, you have places like votefortheworst.com who attempt to push forward the worst artists as possible. Guess whose corner they are in?
I also disagree with the poster who claimed it's not about singing. It is, and I can't imagine wanting anything but a talented artist to win this contest.

Just a note......this kid CANNOT sing. He just doesn't have the talent and that has nothing to do with his nationality. Why when something does not go someone's way they always use the race card. This is for TALENT. thats it, which unfortunately Sanjaya lacks, he is young and just doesn't have it. Actually, don't know how he made it this far. And I don't agree with the accusations that Jennifer Hudson made about Simon......he did nothing wrong to her, watched every playback after her performances, he said nothing wrong. Maybe she had better watch them as well cause it is making her look somewhat foolish. As everyone is saying....America votes....so blame America. Simon just tells it like it is, like it or not. If you care not to watch the show just change the channel, easy enough. Its suppose to be entertaining, not a forum for racial issues......if you can sing.......go for it......if not move on. Sanjaya stop and smell the roses.....time to pack it in.

I was an avid watcher of AM/IDOL. I never missed an audition or show no matter what! After Sundance left I said I would never watch again. I have'nt. Something needs to be done! This is a singing competition! HELLO! Is America tone deaf! You go Simon! I would quit to if I Were You But Probably SOONER! A real shame. I really did enjoy the show. This year is the most boring! especially now! To predictable. Could be the last year if something does'nt change! Let the judges be the judge till the last two. Might keep the audience attention a while longer! Have to admit I will miss watching it, but not this year! This is suppose to be a reality show, instead it turned out to be a JOKE! Good Luck to the ones who can really sing.

Can't believe America kept him around. And there's no need to get racist here, but if people are voting for him because of his race (i.e. Indians voting for him just because he's Indian, not because he's what they'd consider a good singer) then that shows once again that people still are racist in this world.
I mean, the kid's the next Johnny Mathis, but there's nobody who wants to hear another Johnny Mathis. Technically he could get by as a Jazz/Easy Listening artist, but not a pop star, or what we now call and "American Idol."

Simon Cowell may be acid tongued but he is truthful. That is what he is there for. Correct? So he should not go. Before that happens, they need to reconsider how the show is voted on. As he said before..He did not vote Jennifer Hudson off American Idol..the viewers did. Not saying that Jennifer could not sing.(She could) Because the viewers were wrong then and they are clearly wrong now by keeping Sanjaya. They need to vote Sanjaya off the show. They do not need to blame Simon. And Simon does not need to change his standards for the shows sake. That is one reason we watch the show is because we know that Simon is not going to be all sweet with the contestants. He is just going to do his job. As we have said before, this is a singing competition. Not a beauty pagent. Nor is it a race factor. It should strictly be about who sings the best. And if Simon goes..then they just need to cancel the show because it will only get worse.

In response to the person who made the comment "AMERICAN IDOL,not indian idol" when the heck did this become a race issue? If you aren't aware by years of schooling, every one of the contestants is ethnic to a group, just as YOU are! Even though U don't think Sanjaya can hold a note, he still IS an American! And why, in the year 2007, are we discussing what race a contestant is anyway? This ticks me off to no end!
Sanjaya, at this point in the competition, and you know that the only way you can win is because of websites like vote for the worse and idiots like Howard Stern supporting you, is to gracefully leave the show. Otherwise, if you win, you are going to make American Idol and America in general a laughing stock and the popularity of the show will drop significantly. You are sweet but like the song says "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold". It's time for you to fold...

Simon Cowell, in my opinion is the ONLY American Idol judge who actually gives worthwhile advice. Paula and Randy could not manage manage without him, in my opinion. He should stay on AI where he belongs. Now Sanjaya, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be racist (so don't pull my stunt on me) but I think he lacks the potential to be a good singer. He's ALWAYS been in the bottom 2 and I think that other people with more stamina should have come on. His sister was way better than him! I'll still rooting for LaKisha and the other black girl (those two girls can SINGGG!) and hopefully, it will never come down to those two girls and Sanjaya.

i think sanjaya is a horrible singer. have u seen his "mohawk"? the only reason he changes his hair (to the worst) every week is to attract people to his hair, which doesnt look good anyway, and distract them from his voice.
also, i think the only reason he is here is because of his hair, sadly.
he cant sing, and he sounds like a dying cat, for those of you have not noticed
and im surprised that chris sly left, and not him, because chris has a good voice, unlike sanjaya.

Apparently, no one thought to write "Wake up America" when deciding the presidential elections but when it comes to a show about mediocre talent, watch out! I know most of the audience consists of teeny-boppers with no lives or important issues, but I also think this is an accurate reflection on America as a whole. Seriously, who cares about mind-numbing nothingness? It's just a show.
Yes, I will vote for Sanjaya. Hopefully this causes Simon to quit, this will lead to lower ratings (Simon makes the show), and hopefully to Idol's cancellation. Maybe this will cause people to get lives or read a book. Alas, I ask too much.

I do agree that Sanjaya should have left the competition already. The fact that he is still there because little girls think he is cute has really turned me off from the show, and I don't even want to watch it at times. His presence is proving that it is no longer about talent, but about looks and that turns it into such fluff and a seemingly utter sham.

My husband and I enjoy the American Idol every year. We are not happy with what is happening this year. If Sanjaya wins we will (if the show returns)not watch American Idol again. If he was good that is another story. Oh well I just hope that my husband and I are happy campers when this season is over.

Simon is right on this one, but if he leaves, then American Idol will not be the same. Sanjaya can't sing, and has become cocky and doesn't even take the judges serious about their reviews on him. Too many young girls voting, it's all about popularity at this point! American Idol is not good this year, but why did the judges put him through in the first place? American shouldn't be voting in my opinion, the judges should be determing the real talent, and thats not Sanjaya! Doesn't Sanjaya have any pride? He sees all of American wanting him out but sits there each week with that stupid grin on his face...like hey I'm a good singer thats why I'm still here...right Sanjaya you can believe what you want.

I am disgusted over all the people that feel sorry for Sanjaya,this kid cant sing,he cant dance and hes making a joke out of AI,but what really ticks me off is the contestants that could sing great are gone all because of people feeling sorry for Sanjaya or because they think hes cute so they power vote to keep him in!. This kid is either stupid or has no concience,cause if he did he would drop out knowing that these stupid no life fans are making a joke out of him and causing other contestants who really could sing to get the boot!.Sanjaya,Give it up already!the only fan base you have is tweenys, making all that money isnt going to mean anything later compared to the backlash the public is going to put you through when all is said and done! AI needs to find a better voting system,cause this one is not an honest way to find the true American Idol!.As for Simon,he is right on 100%,if people cant stand to watch him criticise the contestants then dont watch any more,plain and simple as that!.

You all can hate Simon Cowell as much as you want, however I happen to think that he IS the show. Honestly, most people only watch the first few weeks during the trials to see the complete morons who believe that they actually have talent.
-
My question to the naysayers is: if not Simon, then who? Who will keep people intrigued and still watching this show? Honestly, I don't think Paula and Randy can do it on their own.
-
You know, judging all these pop wannabes is probably just as difficult as standing up there in front of millions of people. The contestants' friends and families aren't going to tell them that something 'wasn't so good' about a song or performance, or that it was 'complete rubbish' as Simon would say.
-
The truth hurts, and the ones who can't deal with it always shift the blame.
-
If you want to root for Sanjaya to win because you think he's 'adorable' or 'sweet,' go right ahead, but when Randy and Simon tell it like it is-- meaning the truth about how he can't freakin' sing to save his life-- don't get all mad. They don't really care about his looks or demeanor, they care about how he carries himself on stage and whether he hits the notes correctly in the songs he chooses or not.

Did it ever occur to anyone and everyone who wants Sanjaya off the show that we should all vote as many times as we can for every contestant still remaining except for Sanjaya,this seems like the only way to get him off the show,If you people really want to see him gone than its worth a try, I know it will be a lot of voting for each individual,but who knows it just might work if everybody sticks to their guns and passes the word around,I dont see how it could fail!.

although i do not watch american idol all of the time, the times that i do watch it, Sanjaya sucks. I was very upset when i heard that his sister did not make it to the top 24, but i got over it. She was way better than him. He should either quit, get some singing lessons and possible try out next year, or get voted off. I know alot of people who think that he is the best singer, but he's not. Even thought i am not a good singer, i can do way better than him. And Simon isn't even American, he's freakin British. He should go back to Britain and be a judge on Britain Idol, not American Idol. But i have to say, he is my favorite judge. Now even though im saying that Simon should go back to Britain, I am on his side, Sanjaya sucks.

I usually watch American Idol to hear that one great voice, and that one voice that faulters over all possible. When Sanjaya made it to where he did, I almost fell over in disgrace. To see who he has beat is far more terrible than what he has done to my speaker system. I have almost always agreed with Simon, and appreciate the devotion he has to the show. It is apparent to me that America is voting for this looney like they did with that William Hung fella. I am Canadian, and wait for our Idol season to start, but watch it for the same reason as the American Idol. Come on you voting fools. Boot the bumb, give a real singer the opportunity to sing the airwaves. Three cheers for Simon Cowell

Sanjay only keeps the American public voting because of those dumb hairstyles. And they are very stupid. Oh please, a mohawk ponytail line going down his head. He needs to get a life, he knows he can't sing, but has to try something. I agree with Simon, he has no talent. Just goes to show how easily persuaded the american people are. A hairstyle faux pas, politically correct race card and voila, let's all show the world how wonderful we are....Sanjay, even though he has no talent, but we need to embrace him.....such nonsense. Vote for someone who has talent and the total package.

C'mon everyone... this is not about Simon quitting... he's under contract... the man was just exasperatingly making a point... as millions of us are... this is an incredible show that's losing it's legitimacy because the judges decided to give the kid a 'a shot'... now, this tiny-talented teeny-bopper is wasting our time and hurting our ears week after week and becoming pompous in the process!?
I can't believe how upset I am about this kid and the fact that he's still on the show... this is the only legit reality show and talent search with awesome opportunities for those who truly deserve it. The fact that Sanjaya is becoming big-mouthed and disrespectful to the very one who gave him the shot has completely turned me against him... doesn't he realize he can't compete at this level?? it's so offensive, I'm in shock...
He needs to take a long hard look in the mirror, know that this has gone about as far as it should go and do himself and his 'fans' a favor and respectfully resign... he'll still do well because of all the fluff and fanfare about this...
Then, God-willing, those of us who appreciate this thing for what it is, can go on enjoying it and they can have their own little 'idol'...
I say stop complaining everyone and pick up the phone and vote... we must say goodbye to Haley & Sanjaya for the last time in the next two weeks... let's do it people... put your money where your mouth is and vote dozens of times not just once, and let's finish this...

I totally agree with Simon. Sanjaya doesn't belong in the top twelve. Hell, he shouldn't even be in the top twelve hundred, LOL. Don't be surprised if he wins the whole thing. All it takes is for each person in India to vote once and it's a guaranteed win. Drop American Idol, watch Top Chef instead :)

Wake up America! You are being ignorant by voting Sanjaya in each week. Each week you are sending home a more talented singer than he will EVER be! Howard Stern is the biggest idiot on the face of the earth for having everyone vote for him, just to be ignorant. Sanjaya never belonged in the top 12 in the first place. This isn't a popularity contest, it's a singing contest. So, be fair and vote for the best singers. He is by far, one of the worst!

This is AMERICAN IDOL...not India Idol! ONLY America should be allowed to vote! If Sanjaya had any class at all... any scrupples.. he'd quit the show! He knows his still being on the show is a joke...and it's not a very funny one.

The poor kid is making a fool of himself. The only reason he is still on the show is because of some little teeny girls that keep voting for him, and maybe boys? I agree with the guy who is living on top of a roof in Philadelphia until he gets voted off who says that he's sick of his faky smile. It's so sickening! He is just too young and inexperienced to be an "Idol" to anyone. This brings up a good question: why is there an age limit for the contestants? Most artists are over the age of 25-30 by the time they get their big break, like Sheryl Crow and Shania Twain.

I think it's a shame that Sanjaya has made it thus far and real talent being sent home. While he did well at his audition, as he progressed in the competition, it became apparent that he was not ready yet. He's still young, needs to get some vocal coaching perhaps, and learn a bit about the real world.
The thing is, if he wins, he will have a short lifespan as an "Idol." Once his pretty face wears off, and a new pretty face arrives on the forefront, the teenyboppers that are infatuated with him will move on, leaving him a very bleak future.
He's so full of himself at this point, believing that he is something fantastic, the dose of reality will send him soaring downward, at the cost of mental trauma.
Howard Stern is not doing anyone any favors; especially those contestants who deserve to be where they are. He is taking away from them for his own ego-purposes.
I know that if Sanjaya wins, next year, my TV won't be tuned into "American Idol."

sanjaya can NOT win! if he does, i promise you i will NEVER watch american idol EVER again! and this is how I see it: if Sanjaya wins, Simon Cowell quits. If Simon quits, Paula will most likely quit too. If Simon and Paula both quit, there will be no reason for Randy to stay on the show, so he quits also. America wont watch the show without those three, so then the ratings go way down and they have to cancel the American Idol. then we all have to say goodbye to our favourite show. hmph. this sucks.

This is ridiculous...First off this wouldn't be happening if he didn't get picked during auditions. I guess Simon regrets it now doesn't he? Anyway, my opinion on this is that the kid can't sing, his sister would have probably been a better choice for American Idol. Also, Haley should have not been voted off. She was a much better singer. But, I guess to each its own, right? Hopefully, by next week everyone will realize what a horrible singer Sanjaya is and he will not be in the final 2. I really hope all you out there will do the right thing and vote him off!

I am totally appauled by this negative attention that Sanjaya is getting!
Come on! What is American Idol anyway? Honestly, I thought it was a television show that
allowed the contestants (ones that did make it that far, including Sanjaya) to show what they
do best. And to me, American means the people in America and Idol means someone that other people
look up to. Idol does not necessarily mean that the person being idoled is PERFECT. We all have our different opinions, and if in fact it is Sanjaya that most of the Americans vote for then so be it!
Does it matter what age group is voting the most? Another issue for me is that he did try out and make it, so if he is that bad, and people feel that he would make the show look bad, then how did he even make it that far?
One more thing, Simon's attitude sucks! If all of the contestants had the same attitude, there wouldn't even be a show called American Idol!
I just think the whole thing is ridiculous.

This is just rediculous, I just got done reading the posts on the AI boards and went into Sanjayas room just to see what was being said and most of the people in that room said they vote like anywhere from 500 to over a 1,000 times for Sanjaya and they said the more they hear people bash him the more they vote and get their friends to vote for 2 hours straight,no wonder this kid is still in it,but I guess thats too be expected from a bunch of immature snot nosed tweenies,come on people! instead of sitting and complaining about Sanjaya still being on AI lets all of us beat Howard Stern and all the tweenies at their pathetic little game and vote our buts off for our favorites except Sanjaya,he is never going to get off AI if everyone doesn't pull together and do something about it instead of complaining!. I will be voting for 2 hours straight for my favorites and not Sanjaya,cause I am sick and tired of all the good people getting the boot instead of him!.One way to make it fun is have a vote Sanjaya off party Tuesday night with all your friends and family that are anti-Sanjaya,everyone bring cell phones and vote like crazy!.I did this last week and we had a blast!.
