The questionably gifted but clearly popular Sanjaya Malakar easily survived another elimination on the hit show American Idol on Wednesday after a performance even irascible judge Simon Cowell conceded “wasn’t horrible”.
Fans instead chose Haley Scarnato, from San Antonio, to go home when she scored the fewest votes among viewers of the nationally televised talent contest. Host Ryan Seacrest said the more than 35 million votes cast represented the season’s highest tally.
Malakar, who has emerged as the show’s star, particularly since radio host Howard Stern exhorted his listeners to vote for the 17-year-old, whose wacky hairdos on the show have been as inconsistent as his performances, was again not among the bottom three.
His rendition of Besame Mucho on the Latin-themed edition, which included a guest appearance by Jennifer Lopez, was among his best-received in recent weeks.
The judges opined his singing was “really good”, smart and smooth, with Cowell saying it pained him to concede the Washington resident’s crooning “wasn’t horrible”.
American Idol’s music director has said he thinks Malakar could well win the whole thing. “I think he could win the show,” Ricky Minor told the New York Post this week. “People are pulling for him. … I can tell you he can sing. He’s a handsome guy, and is really likable. People are pulling for him.”
This week’s other two bottom-scoring finalists, included Chris Richardson and Phil Stacey, but both survived to become one of the final seven of the competition.
The success of Indian-American Sanjaya Malakar in the popular show American Idol has generated a lot of heat here with one of the judges threatening to quit if he wins the crown.
Some media reports have also suggested that Malakar has reached the final 11 of the competition more for his youth appeal and being of Indian descent than his singing talent. He has interesting hair. This much, everyone seems to agree on. But, for the most part, that’s where the praise for the youngest Idol contestant ends.
“Even though he has yet to deliver a convincing performance in the live competition, he continues to stave off elimination, much to the shock of the Idol judges and sometimes even Malakar himself,” a write-up posted on the aol TV website said.
One of the theories floating around is that of the support he is getting from radio jockey Howard Stern. Stern has been advising his fans to vote in jest for the first contestant of Indian descent to make it into the show’s top 11.
He is getting a boost from all of the employees in India whose jobs were outsourced by US phone companies, Stern claims. Simon Cowell, one of the judges in the competition, has even threatened to resign if Malakar is the winner.
A woman on Myspace, simply known as “J,” has vowed to starve herself until American Idol contestant, Sanjaya Malakar is voted off.
