I’m calling these two ZACJAYA!That’s it. I can’t take it any more. All the racist, homophobic hatred being flung at Sanjaya Malakar, sixth season contestant on American idol has reached my maximum capacity here. And all the grown folks doing it have got to get a grip and take a look at what they’re doing. Yep, I’m not ashamed to say it - I was on Team Sanjaya.

No, He wasn’t the person I want to win (that’d be Melinda). He wasn’t the best at song choice either (that’d be Blake). No, he wasn’t the prettiest (that’d be Jordin). No, he wasn’t the best or most technically proficient singer there (Melinda again). But he CAN sing. No, listen to me. Put aside the bullshit media frenzy of the last 2 months and listen to me. Sanjaya Malakar can sing. Not brilliantly, but he can. He has a pretty tone, he can carry a tune, and he is an entertaining performer. He’s certainly not any worse than 99.5% of the people you hear on the radio. He’s also adorable, and infectiously sunny, and I for one am sorry to see him go. I hope he rides the momentum of the show as far as it’ll take him. I wouldn’t mind seeing him on a CW or Disney series or something like that. See above! Does he not already fit right in with the other Disney kids? I think yes.

American Idol knows they are going to have to work hard to keep viewers with this batch of singers. So they fought back with the most talked about part of American idol this week, and replayed the exchange between Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest again on Wednesday night. The scene from Wednesday had Melinda Doolittle bantering a bit with Seacrest before her song, complaining that the worst part of this performance round was “her dress and high heels.
