Hmmm — when Sanjaya wasnt singing English, he actually didnt sound too bad. Maybe if he continues to sing in a foreign language every night, he might survive further into the competition.

He definitely played to the camera tonight. Little girls will continue to love him. I think he is safe for another night as he wasnt the worst of the evening.

The bottem three were Haley, Chris and Phil. Lakisha is maybe even in danger of being in the bottem 3. Definitely Haley should be going home tomorrow night, but there might be a surprise as to who leaves.

The worst night overall for the year so far as it relates to the groups performances.

ok bttm 3 will be Sanjaya Haley and Phil
with either Phil or Haley Leaving

I give him props 4 being the only one doing a Spanish song on Latin Night

So my guess will be Phil Leaving

He is sporting the Sanjaya ponyhawk. I wish he were in the competition!!!!!!!!!

JennyC on April 10, 2007 at 9:18 pm

no way lakisha can not be in the bottom three she was better than Melinda! Melinda should be in the bttm three!!!!

Sanjaya: good job, dear.

Sanjaya’s sister and friends: you’re obnoxious, go home.

Sanjaya actually did a pretty good job. He proved to America that he can really sing.

Donna on April 10, 2007 at 9:23 pm

I just KNEW you’d post this screencap (or was passionately hoping). It’s like a half-gaze, half-sneer, lmao.

Still, he was kinda boring, but better than usual. Haley was definitely the night’s worst. She’s been second-to-last TWICE. If not, Phil might shock, or someone else I don’t even want to think about.

Cinemaniac0860 on April 10, 2007 at 9:24 pm

That was hot!!! He REALLY can sing!!!!

makeawish on April 10, 2007 at 9:27 pm

OMG, I actually thought he was one of the best! O.O

Bottom 3 for me? Melinda, Haley and Phil. I don’t care which one goes home, but I believe if Sanjaya gets eliminated today is going to be totally unfair.

cellym on April 10, 2007 at 9:32 pm

Hmmm Sanjaya is looking kinda really good there tonite really cute.He stepped it up a notch and I was impressed though I thought he might be going home this week,guess I was wrong now.Singing in Spanish good move very appropriate.

Holy crap that mp3 was HOTT!!!!

Does Sanjaya actually understand Spanish? Because his pronunciation was perfect, and he seemed to know what he was singing– emphasizing all the right parts. I thought he sounded so smooth and sexy.

Props for that. I love Latin music, and I don’t think AI Latin Night wouldn’t be so awful it all they did was ridiculous Gloria Estefan Cococabana covers. There’s so much GOOD, recognizable Latin music out there, especially right now (although I do like Santana): Shakira, Frankie J, not to mention all the reggaeton they play in clubs.

I would have killed to see Blake do some Daddy Yankee.

His voice was beautiful, and loved the subdued performance…great job! That’s the smooth voice I loved during his audition…bout time.

sugamamadaddy on April 10, 2007 at 9:45 pm

Not a Sanjaya fan…but tonight…I must do what’s right and vote for him. He was freaking amazing. Something cool and sexy about the way he sang it.

stpaul000 on April 10, 2007 at 10:02 pm

Aragonm will you please stop bashing Melinda. Just because you say Lakisha was better does not make it so. Most people disagree with you so deal with it ok? Thanks.

Sanjaya did really well tonight. I might even vote for him.

Sanjaya sounded lovely tonight. His voice has a sweet smooth tone. Very pleasant. And props for singing in Spanish.

Good job, kid!

evangelion on April 10, 2007 at 10:27 pm
32

I think he was phenomenal tonight. Really sexy vocal, assured, some nice glory-noting towards the end (which he usually avoids). He’s definitely on pace for a top three showing, so long as the constant tongue-bathing of Chris R doesn’t derail him.

krisis on April 10, 2007 at 10:33 pm
33

Wow, I’m really off my game, because that was my Blake comment. Sorry for the ineptitude.

In any event, I love this. Sanjaya brought his A game, and once again did much better than anyone will give him credit for.

krisis on April 10, 2007 at 10:34 pm

welcome to the universe of sanjaya!

props to him for singing in spanish on latin night and for glancing shyly at the camera and for his cute little fuzzy facial hair and, oh, yeah, singing really well and showing off that sweet voice!

glowstick on April 10, 2007 at 10:42 pm

Sanjaya is winning me over. I don’t want him to win, but I won’t be mad about a top 5 finish. Considering all the crap people are saying about him, he’s really handling himself quite well and going out there every week and just doing his thing. I’ve been in full Sanjaya defense mode all week, because a lot of the really cruel racist things people are saying are really getting to me.

mohop on April 10, 2007 at 10:42 pm

I watched the video and Sanjaya sang with such a beautiful tone to his voice. I’m so glad for him. I saw the performance also but seeing it again, he sounded even better.

I’m voting for Sweet Sanjaya.

Yay Sanjaya!!!

Donna on April 10, 2007 at 11:05 pm
37

WOW!! That was sexy HOT!

Plus he got the Spanish dead right, and sang like he meant it.

And flirted like crazy with the camera….that boy knows exactly where that camera is every single moment…and works it!

(I could wish he wasn’t young enough to be my kid. I feel a little odd noticing how sexy that was.)

whooo, way to go sanjaya! has anyone ever sung in spanish on latin night before? why didn’t the bunthony? did they have a latin night that year?

i agree with the comment about latin night veering off course with the miami sound machine dominance.

this would be the week that he would go though, the week where he was actually one of the best. such is idol…

I am overwhemed with YEAH! That was beautiful, I got chills listening to the Sanjaya work his magic. Loved it SOOO much. I am so impressed with our ittle Sanjaya-such cool under such acrimony. He is more mature and poised than most of his nay sayers. Go Sanjaya!

i don’t really get why these protests are saying that him being on the show is hurting him and want him to step down, he tried out for the show its not like he was forced to do idol. and the judges put him the top 24 and the fans with out vftw’s help put him in the top 12. i mean i wasn’t a sanjaya fan but hes accually grown on me alot , and the more ppl are hating him because of there own inscuruties made me realize that hes accually pretty tallented and he can go pretty far on this show.

The best part is discovering all the words that rhyme with “Sanjaya”. “Aunt Myra (hearts) Sanjaya”. Okaaaaay. Next!

LOVED his hair! And this was a wonderful song choice for him.

Fashion Police on April 11, 2007 at 3:26 am

The bar for Sanjaya is low but I will say he was his best tonight. Surprisingly so. Didn’t get weird or campy. He simply sang and it worked. Good for him.

kookoo on April 11, 2007 at 4:05 am

One realitively good performance out of…how many now?…doesn’t make Sanjaya the idol winner…and to want to see someone like Melinda go home this week just because she didn’t knock everyone’s socks off this week…sheesh!

And though he did pretty good tonight…the performance was not flawless. I guess I’m the only one who could hear the times he went off pitch…inwhich the 1st time was on the 2nd/3rd note of the song (10 seconds into the song).

Too bad that the Fanjaya’s can’t be totally objective. but like KooKoo stated…the bar is set low for Sanjaya…so why fight the power!

feaqs on April 11, 2007 at 9:47 am
50

Sorry for you Feaqs very true that people want Melinda to go home for one weak performance is kinda awful.

Anyway, whoever goes home other than Sanjaya, I don’t care.

Sanjaya was awesome, no off pitch hopes please. He was perfect on pitch and yes, I do have years of music background. Sheesh!

Sanjaya *FANPOWER* to you, as always.

snazzy on April 11, 2007 at 9:56 am

The bar is set so low for Sanjaya that as long as he doesn’t stand up there and recite the phone book, he’ll always get “wasn’t bad, could’ve been worse” from most folks. I personally think it was his best performance of the season (not saying much), so as long as he stays seated on a stool/chair and doesn’t sing in english he’s golden. My dream would be that they get rid of Sanjaya, Haley, and Phil in that order. I still think it should be about singing ability instead of popularity. Groups of fans voting for two hours straight, hundreds of times = Sanjaya in the top five at least and that’s too bad. If hell freezes over and he wins this season, I’ll never watch again and every person I’ve spoken to, emailed, etc. has said the same thing. I haven’t met a real live human being who actually likes this kid for his singing ability, only the people on the net and crybabies in the AI audience. Go Blake/Chris/Melinda!

williboy71 on April 11, 2007 at 10:10 am
52

Listen! He CAN’T sing!!! Compare him to past Idols…….(except Taylor Hicks, who can’t sing either) It’s ridiculous to think he could win this. He should have never made it through Hollywood week.

OldOrange on April 11, 2007 at 3:00 pm
53

Snazzy, my following comment on Sanjaya’s pitch is said in the spirit of musician to musician so don’t take it as a slam against you.

But perhaps you don’t hear it…or maybe we can blame it on the orchestra for not hitting the same note as Sanjaya …but when he first begins to sing the word *** Be`sa me *** he fumbles vocally on the 2nd syllable (sa) and hits somewhere between a 1/2 note and whole note. On the syllables Be` and me` he sings the same note…but again…”sa” is off pitch. There was at least one more time he slid off the note during the song. And for me and my 45 years of playing, singing, teaching music etc. ..I hear it plain as day…or just as plainly as my boy Phil’s crack at the end of his song.

feaqs on April 11, 2007 at 3:43 pm

Sanjaya was good last night, I was very pleased. In fact, I enjoyed his performance the best yesterday!
His voice is not very strong, but it has very sweet tone, and is very smooth. I hope he works with some good voice coach in the future.

I was really overjoyed with yesterday’s performance! I was thinking about Ricky when watchin/listening, LOL. I thought, “Ricky is probably very happy right now! Yay!”
The kid is cute as a button, not too shy, not too cocky. Sings all right, I like his voice. Whoever gets eliminated tonight, I hope it’s not him. He makes the competition interesting for me this year. Imagine, if there was no Sanjaya – how boring it would be!?

Didya’all notice that JLo was quite smitten with him???!!! Heee! She was gigling like a girl, when she talked about him. That was so sweet.

Ricky, could you post the clip of JLo.She was definitely charmed, it was so obvious.

Who were those weirdos with S’s sister? Were they stoned or just plain weird?

BelleAnn on April 11, 2007 at 7:03 pm
56

BelleAnn, those “weirdos” (including Sanjaya’s sister) were all rejects from Hollywood week. JennyC correctly identified Tom Lowe. I can’t recall the name of the long haired guy with the beard. He had a good audition. Hollywood week only had a clip of him saying his throat was dry during the group songs. I mourned the fact that Tom did not make it into the top 24. I still replay the group performance of “How Deep Is Your Love” with him, Blake, Sligh, and Rudy. The group this year is pretty boring. I think the weirdo trio would have made for a better season. I miss that blonde pedi-cab chick too… the one with the lip ring. What was her name again? So sad that I’d rather be reminiscing about the auditions and Hollywood week than the remaining 8 contestants. Last night was so mediocre, I DIDN’T EVEN VOTE! Brutal.

OMGG! SANJAYA!

best performance so far for him.
he’s continually getting better and better each week huh?
hopefully he gets rlly good next week too!
GO SANJAYA!

MELANiE M on April 11, 2007 at 10:06 pm

feaqs (#53) interesting observation. i thought he was off pitch on both the 1st & 2nd syllables (be -sa -…), no? similar occurence the week before on “dancing cheek to cheek” when i thought started off pitch on HEA(ven…) the young man really needs to work harder with his intro. as for the other off pitch notes here and there, well, other finalists did the same too. not that it can be excused at this stage, but …

ok so i hate the people that hate sanjaya lol cuz he is improving and he is very cute hahah i feel for him.. hes been thru a lot and hes takin it well. well if its true that blake and hopefully sanjaya is reading rickey.org well sanjaya i listened to sweet charriot how you sang it in choir and u sound rele good and my sister is a big fan of blakes but i told her to listen to the sweet charriot and i was like doesnt he sound good and she was like omg why doesnt he sing like this on t.v and we’re jus like c’monn you can do it sanjaya.. if you sing like that your better than the contestants there and i know you are… well if you read this sing sweet charriot if you get a chance to!! i love you sanjaya good luck.

I really loved Sanjaya singing Sweet Chariot also, hopefully he’ll get a chance to sing it.

Sanjaya sang Besame Mucho Beautifully. I’ve said it many times but this proves again just how nice of a voice he really does has.

Go Sanjaya!

I hope you sing another fantastic song on tuesday.
