Well, the reign of mediocrity on American Idol came to an end last night. Sanjaya Malakar, the svelte, crustachioed king who for so long belittled musical classics—oftentimes done brazenly and sadistically in front of those who had originally given life to the tunes—toppled like the statues of so many cruel despots to come before him. And boy did he cry.

Seriously though, Sanjaya, when thousands of people hate you for being who you are—in this case a 17-year-old kid with a touch of talent and a lot of hope—it usually means that you're doing something right. We'll kinda miss you. But this family won't. And if they get this big of a kick out of you being sad, you probably shouldn't care if they like you or not.

    Okay, they must have Tivoed it and set that up because, honestly, who has a pan and stick ready just in case? LOL. And, yes, these people need a better use of their time.

    poor kid, he isn't even that bad. That Timberlake wannabe is much worse. LaKisha's a better singer so it's fair(?) that she didn't get voted off, but she's boring and won't go anywhere.

    I liked Sanjaya. I thought he was hugely entertaining. Lakisha is a boring, arrogant ass. I was really hoping she was going when I saw her down there with Sanjaya.

    I sympathize with Sanjaya. I hope that he's able to parlay this experience into something that brings him moderate fame and complete satisfaction.

    And hannah as a great point that it ultimately comes down to one. Even if Lakisha didn't go this week, she will likely go before Melinda does.

    I have to say, I have been hoping Sanjaya would be sent home soon, not only for my own sake, but his as well. He is a sweet, sweet kid, and he frankly looked so uncomfortable during most of his performances that I had to watch through my fingers a lot of the time. I am happy that he gets to go home and be with his family and I no longer have to grit my teeth and feel terribly guilty while watching him attempt to sing.

    That kid is jumping around in his underwear. Why do people put this stuff online? Kinda funny though.
