Sanjaya's superpower: He makes little girls cry

post from High Lord Dave's Blog on 24 March 2007 06:25:00 PM. © High Lord Dave's Blog

Ashley, the little girl who was moved to tears by Sanjaya Malakar last week, was on the Today Show and told Meredith Viera that her guy is "phenomenal".

That's his audience. More power to him.

I don't know that she and other little girls like her are hearing the same show I hear, but Ashley and her cohorts around the country are apparently the reason why Sanjaya made it this far. I'd engage in some more bashing, but at this point, piling on isn't going to get rid of him and as Peter Noone told everyone in the US who didn't already know, "This isn't a singing competition" not matter how many times Simon tells us that.

I only hope he doesn't last as long as John Stevens did, because if say, Gina were to get the axe before him, I can guarantee that she will throttle Sanjaya right there on live TV. J-Hud gave the "No You Didn't" glare to John Stevens the whole time as she was singing her way off the show, but I think Gina would go UFC cagematch on him.

And if Gina did kill him on a Wednesday night for outlasting her, I don't think there is a prosecuting attorney who would win a conviction.

3/24: Weekend tidbits

post from American Idol Blog on 24 March 2007 05:37:09 PM. © American Idol Blog

For the handful of you checking this on the weekend, here are a few tidbits to chew on:

The tabloids noticed how thin Carrie Underwood looked. Has she fallen for the Hollywood “thing at all costs” pablum? Did you think he looked excessively skinny March 8 when she appeared on “Idol”? We’ll get another look at her tonight on “Saturday Night Live.”

And given how relatively little publicity Elliott Yamin’s new release has gotten, he’s projected to sell 90,000 or so copies his first week, based on hitsdailydouble first-day projections. That’s very respectable and not that far off the mark of runner-up Kat McPhee’s first-week sales a couple months ago.

I also read this week’s TV Guide cover Q&A with Paula Abdul. She as usual said she’s never been drunk (not that she’s never had a drink) and she says she slurs her words and gets strange because she gets easily distracted by Randy and Simon’s shenanigans. It’ll be interesting when that reality show about her comes out. And she drinks either Diet Coke or sugar-free Red Bull during the show, not alcohol. Nobody ever asks her if she’s on any pain medication.

“Nobody, [including] my friends and my family, has seen me drinking, partying… ever,” Abdul told Entertainment Weekly. “Maybe somewhere I’m making a toast, but I’ve never been drunk in my whole life. I don’t do recreational drugs. I have the hardest job — mid-sentence I have to think of what I’m going to say, [and] sometimes I have to talk fast because I don’t want to be edited. I have to think about what I’m going to say because I might not particularly care for [a contestant’s] performance. How [can I express this] so they leave with a little bit of dignity and grace?”

It’ll be interesting to see her upcoming Bravo reality show “Hey Paula.”
