Sanjaya is Gone!

Carrie Lowe
American Idol has finally removed one of the biggest drains on the show it has seen in many years. With websites such as votefortheworst.com pushing for him to stay on the show, it has been an awful and rocky season with Sanjaya staying on the show. The judge's have agreed numerous times that while the boy has some talent, he has not been performing well enough to win.

In recent episodes, it has almost seemed as if he wanted to go home. People have been debating whether or not he was even trying, or whether he was just enjoying shocking people with his latest hairstyles. Lately his idol performances have focused more on his hair, than his actual singing ability. It is definitely a breath of fresh air to know and realize that the standards of American Idol truly to hold up and that there is no way America would allow someone of sub-standards to win the competition.

The bad news is, next week another talented contestant must leave, but with this week ending in a major victory for music lovers all around we are sitting happy. Hopefully after this painful blow, the sites and major figures who have been pushing Sanjaya to remain on the show will learn that while the power of a few can keep someone around temporarily, talent will prevail.

The show has definitely managed to improve this season since dumping Sanjaya, however it is a bit painful to loose the class clown of the group, but with the serious singers and major talent left in Blake Lewis, LaKisha Jones, Jordin Sparks, and Melinda Doolittle left the show is sure to be highly entertaining. Make sure you tune in next week for the special edition of Idol Gives Back and be sure to enjoy the show packed full of star-studded talent from start to finish.

    He had it coming! It's just a shame that other more talented contestants had to go before him.

    I don't even watch the show and I'm glad he's gone. I see you had an attack of derating Sanjaya fans. Oh well, enjoy the page views!

    Finally, I was so sick of hearing about him!

    I think I prefer my slops to Sanjaya, thank you. He's probably a nice enough boy, but nowhere near as talented as those who have been voted off before him. You want a singer, try Doolittle. Or Jordan.
