Sanjaya Reads Top Ten List Last Night

Sanjaya Malakar the contestant on "American Idol" who was the most recent cast off from that show last night read the Top Ten List on the "Late Show With David Letterman." Sanjaya became famous for his less than stellar singing on "American Idol" but remained in the competition because he was a fan favorite and also had people like Howard Stern getting people to vote for him. The 17 year old from Seattle was popular for his goofy charm and right now he is making the most of his fame. On last nights "Late Show" Sanjaya read the a Top Ten List that was titled "Things I Learned From American Idol." Here are three of the funnier items from the list;

>The camera adds ten pounds to your hair
>Voting for yourself 100 times an hour causes some wicked carpal tunnel
>America loves performers with bad hair - right, Dave?

Has "American Idol" Lost Its Edge?

First of all i must say i enjoy "American Idol" and have watched it over many seasons but this year seems a little lackluster. Even ignoring the fact that Sanjaya shouldn't have been in the finals and, having to watch him every week. At least Sanjaya made the show interesting in recent weeks the performances have been dull and uninspired to say the least. The Latin Week as well as the week with Tony Bennett were probably the two worse weeks as far as performances went. I have read that it is being said that the talent pool of really amazing singers is drying up for the long running show but i don't think that is the case. On the show this year you have three really good female singers although a lot of the time their performances seem safe and not that exciting. Taylor Hicks last seasons winner didn't have a voice that blew you away but he put in solid performances which were entertaining to watch. I hope that now we are down to the last few contestants they can step it up and make there performances more exciting otherwise we will have a dull finale.

Country Week Tonight On "American Idol"

>>Tonight at 8pm on FOX

"America Idol" Another Contestant Voted Off

On last nights "American Idol" another contestant left after receiving the fewest votes. Brandon Rogers left after forgetting his words on his performance on Tuesday nights broadcast. Brandon Rogers forgot the words to the Motown classic "You Can't Hurry Love." One of the judges Simon Cowell wasn't a fan of Brandon and said he lacked charisma and i agree because his performances were unexciting. Diana Ross coached the performers this week and last week she appeared on the show and sang "More Today Than Yesterday," off her new CD. I would have preferred than she sang one of her classic songs but oh well.
