Blake Lewis Locked Up Sanjaya Malakar

Blake Lewis locked up Sanjaya Malakar during the American Idol tour!

Blake Lewis called Sanjaya Malakar a “disrespectful little kid”, “disrespectful of people’s boundaries”, “didn’t have a father figure in his life” — and needed to be taught a lesson! OMG! He even suggested that Sanjaya Malakar “didn’t respect himself”.

The interviewer was quite racist by the way, just to add to how bad this interview was.

Blake is slowly diving into his own destruction by what’s he’s doing lately. I actually hate both Sanjaya or Blake so it’s a win-win situation for me. Blake is hitting 2 birds in one stone!

I’m not a huge fan of Sanjaya, but no one deserves to be talked about in this way! I can’t decide who is the bigger idiot – the racist deejay who conducted this bigoted interview or the spiteful Blake. I agree with Merly’s comment #2 – Blake really needs to shut up already and go lock himself up in a room.

Blake is such a loser. Not only this but in everything he does he’s a boring, talentless ass. I am soo waiting for his 15 mins to be up. Because apart from some gifted people AI really is a reality show with contestants who have a shelf life of 15 mins. Wihout an actuall voice or talent other than beatboxing (which to me isn’t a bigger talent to play good guitar hero) how long can he stay. I hate his guts for being so shameless and a bully. And I hope he won’t come back here for meaningless apologies. Or I’m gonna have to open up a can of whoopass.

My guess? Blake loves everyone focusing on him. It’s a new season of Idol. He doesn’t want to be forgotten just yet. I’m not giving him the pleasure.

What the….., you’re going down blake, you big Bully you. I bet He is jealous that Sanjaya in MTV, Sanjaya’s father always visit him, what is he talking about. What a snob you are Blake, you think you’re perfect, bleh, shorty, peachy voice, Sanjaya always in tune, he is different, he is not white, I think that is why he got bully, diffrent story if Sanjaya’s white, I bet on it.
The Dj so racist…….

I don’t care for Blake but I have to defend him. I can’t imagine being on a bus w/all those people for that long, and if I was trying to get sleep and Sanjaya kept trying to wake me up and was being all obnoxious, I might have hit the roof too and done something like that. Seriously! So, I think this is overblown. Blake will get a lot of heat for this, I know, but I don’t think it’s really deserved.

Let’s suppose for a minute that the locking up etc. was a “fun situation” or that Sanjaya “deserved it” for annoying Blake. Blake STILL calls Sanjaya a “disrespectful little kid”, says he’s “disrespectful of people’s boundaries”, “didn’t have a father figure in his life,” needed to be taught a lesson, and “didn’t respect himself.” Never mind the abuse-that-may-not-have-been-abuse that happened on the bus. THIS is abuse.

I hope none of my friends ever “loves” me as much as Blake “loves the lil dude” Sanjaya.

It sounds like the little fame Blake has received as gone to his head. He thinks that now that he has an album, he can talk trash about whomever he pleases. The fact that Blake goes from radio show to radio show and does not fail to insult Sanjaya shows how pathetic Blake really is.

The fact is, Sanjaya has more fame than Blake and that doesn’t sit right with Blake. So he has to take every still stab he can to criticize Sanjaya.

Mimpy on March 30, 2008 at 10:31 am

I am wondering why he always mention Sanjaya in every interview, is it because Sanjaya famous, and he is not?, by the the way I saw Sanjaya in Inside edition, and entertainment tonigt (ET), when He did the Barmitzvah, I don’t see any Blake on TV, wow Blake’s name dissapeared on TV.Blake you’re going down…….

We should just ignore him! I love Blake and all, but sometimes the comments are a little mean, just ignore him. IF you all think he is a douche just stop talking about it.

Second, If Blake keeps talking about Sanjaya in this way, then Rickey, you have connection with the Malakar Family, ask them for a response. It might clear the whole situation up. So far we are only hearing Blake’s comments, lets see what Sanjaya has to say about it. Maybe he agrees with Blake or maybe he finds Blake to be a jerk..

Lets just not make everything into a big drama when there doesnt need to be.

I agree that if someone was annoying me while I tried to sleep I probably would have done something similar to what Blake did. However that gives him no right to bash Sanjaya and talk about his family situation. That crosses the line bigtime. Blake is a huge jerk that needs to stop insulting people on radio shows.GET A LIFE BLAKE.

Blake!!! When do you ever learn to SHUT THE F UP! What is this obsession w/ Sanjaya? Must you talk about him every f’in time? Can you just say move on to people who keep goating you on?

So, Blake Lewis locked Sanjaya Malakar up during the tour? Unfortunately, someone let him out.

If anyone was interested in interviewing Sanjaya, they could ask for his side of the story. But, that doesn’t seem to be happening, does it? No one deserves the kind of venom so many of you are spouting off about Blake. Rickey, why are you allowing your site to become such a cesspool of hatred?

Someone needs to sit Blake down and teach him the basics of a professional interview. Doesn’t he have a P.R. person who can counsel him on the art of diplomacy?? He doesn’t have the luxury of losing fans, and that’s what he’s doing every time he speaks without thinking it through. He’s making himself look bitter and mean-spirited…not good. I don’t know much about Blake, but I always thought he was a decent guy. It’s sure not coming across in his interviews!

Wow. Have you ever met anyone who’s actually been abused by a parent or a spouse or whatever? I had a teacher tell me I was disrespectful once…should I have called the cops?

kaija on March 30, 2008 at 12:25 pm

I commented on another thread which included the above exact interview, I believe & just do not recall the hosts being so politically incorrect & racially offensive pretty much across the board! But, the way that Blakes’ radio interviews have been going with the Sanjaya focus consistently, it’s becoming difficult to discern 1 from the other if you don’t look/listen closely. And that’s not a good thing!

Because I am unaware of the radio show format & whether this host or series of hosts are “shock jocks”, commenting further on the racially derogatory slant of the interview is inappropriate for me at this time.

As far as the Malakar family, specifically Sanjaya, responding to these allegations, I wouldn’t give Blake the pleasure of the publicity. The family & all concerns should continue ignoring these trite negatives as they have so far because as I see it, Blake needs Sanjaya more than the other way around. Blake could return to Seattle & work in a club performing gigs & there would be no impact in Sanjayas’ life &/or career. On the other hand, should Sanjaya, the media-magnet utter 1 syllable in response to Blake, we would see a surge in Google searches on Blakes’ behalf & additional TMZ material.

No need for Sanjaya to feed the media beast on this guys’ behalf.

First of all this interview is almost a month old. Someone just digging up old interviews? I think so. Yeah Blake said it but he recently put out a message explainging himself. Ya know I think is the funniest part? Everyone gets so up in arms about what hes doing but how do we know it’s not true? Seriously? Did we live with Sanjaya for almost a year? No we didn’t. Do I think Blake is in the wrong for what he said? Of course. No one should talk about another person like that in public, but people need to stop asking him as well. But Blake is an asshole, oh well.

I agree 100% with Klope62. This is one of the most offensive, racist interviews I’ve ever listened to and I am surprised that the deejay is employed! Most people here are debating Blake’s behaviour with Sanjaya…the stuff we weren’t witness to…intead of what was actually said in this interview which is now public record. It is appalling that in 2008 people can say, in public, that Jews are (all)rich and Blacks are (all)good dancers and giggle about their naughtiness. I will not support Blake Lewis in any way from this point onward and if anyone can provide me with information about this deejay, like his name & station, it would be appreciated.

Blake is an idiot. How he thinks this is going to help sales – What a moron.

I am waiting for him to come out and say that the cd wasn’t successful because it wasn’t his “vision”. The sooner he disappears the better we will all be.

Totally agree GwendolynD…. Blake is just looking to extend his 15mins and he knows if he keeps trash talking like this, sites like Rickey’s and other blogs will report on them.
We already know he comes here quite often, you don’t think he’s doing all this crap on purpose just to have the focus on himself? Pulease… little attention whore is seeing that noone gives a crap about his mediocre talent ass anymore so he has to pull this mess to get talked about.

What a douche….. and I’m not even a Sanjaya fan…. so double damn him for making me stick up for Sanjie boy.

Pallaton on March 30, 2008 at 1:48 pm

Yeah, he might be trashing Sanjaya and the AI7 Idols in a desperate bid for attention. But Blake is apparently too stupid to realize that the only thing people are talking about is how much of a douchebag he is and NOT about his music.

Irregardless on whether you agree with what he said or not, Blake should be focusing on pushing his music NOT putting other people down.

snuffles on March 30, 2008 at 1:54 pm

He is just pissed because his CD is a major failure. (this is coming from an EX fan). He was a jerk on the tour and he’s still a jerk. He just hid his true colors on tv. He expected his new single to do well, it hasn’t. He’s an angry little person and hating on anyone and everyone who has had success.

JulieL on March 30, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Blake locked Sanjaya up and then talks about how he disrespects boundaries? This is wrong on so many levels. Talking badly about someone on a radio station is also disrespectful. Apparently Blake sets no boundaries for himself only others.

carolinalady on March 30, 2008 at 2:22 pm

Perhaps instead of spending so much time focusing on Blake (which is a big complement to us Blake fans that you would devote so much time and effort to him..thanks!), you should focus more attention on your own guy. If you weren’t all so hypocritical, you would be analyzing Sanjaya’s own words. Don’t you remember when he said this?

Q: If you were stuck on a desert island, would you rather be with (fellow contestants) Jordin Sparks or Blake Lewis?

A: Jordin Sparks, not because I like her more but because Blake Lewis is kind of loud and sometimes obnoxious. On a desert island I would end up not liking him. But I do like him, so . . . yeah.

Gee….”loud and obnoxious”. Mmmm. Sounds a little worse than boring.

Gee…”But I do like him”. Mmmm. Sounds like “I still like the lil dude”

Gee…notice the date of the article. Mmmm. Seems like it is before the date Blake talked about Sanjaya.

“Apparently Blake sets no boundaries for himself only others.”

EXACTLY. It’s funny how neither Blake OR his fans can see the irony in this. Everything Blake rips Sanjaya for, Blake is guilty of a thousand times worse. And, unlike Sanjaya, Blake seems incapable of learning any lessons from his mistakes.

snuffles on March 30, 2008 at 2:25 pm

End of the World,

Yeah, I saw you preparing that over at TeamPlaid. To that I answer, maybe if Sanjaya went on to say that Blake sucked, he only got through on his beat boxing and out lasted much more talented singers (like Melida, Lakisha and Phil), made for terrible television and had no right being on the show in the first place…well THEN I think you might have something.

The problem with Blake is – this isn’t an isolated incident. It’s just one in a line of NUMEROUS rude and obnozious things he’s said and done. Not only the media but in a lot of people’s experiences in meeting him.

Is THAT all you have on Sanjaya. I CHALLENGE you to dig up more “rude” things Sanjaya has said in the media about ANYONE. Go ahead…I’m waiting. But I have a feeling we’ll all be waiting quite a long time as you search.

Kaija: There is more than one kind of abuse. If I had a “friend” who talked about me in public the way Blake talks about Sanjaya, then claimed to “love” me, I would consider that relationship abusive and would put an end to it on those grounds. If that doesn’t make sense to you, you have my sympathies.

Regarding your analogy, your teacher calling you disrespectful to your face is akin to Blake saying these things to Sanjaya in private. That’s not what he’s done. If your teacher talked in public about your being disrespectful, the cops might not be interested, but the school board would be.

Like it or not, Blake Lewis was the runner up on AI 6, signed with a major label, and put out a CD. Those are facts that cannot be disputed. Outside of this site, where and how exactly is Sanjaya famous. Personally, I don’t think this kind of “fan support” is doing Sanjaya any favors. If and when he releases a CD, he’s going to be up against the same kind of treatment any AI alumni is subjected to. It seems that if you really care about Sanjaya, you would concentrate your energies on supporting him instead of beating this dead horse and continuing along the hypocritical and hysterical path you are on.

I agree with EndoftheWorld. Blake’s fans are amused that you are spending so much time caring about what he says.

Snuffles,
It is a creepy thing that you are watching us over on Team Plaid. If you are such a fan of Blake’s (obviously you are), please come on over. We welcome you.

So now it’s about “the number” of bad things said? You are laughable. You and this discussion are not worth my time.

I’ve already made my point, but you obviously have not “gotten” it. You can’t even understand a simple post; that is the irony, and you proved my point right there (so thank you). There isn’t much CHALLENGE in having a discussion with a person that spends all their time stalking other boards for people they don’t even like and in having a discussion with someone that is obviously lacking in their mental facilities. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel. End of discussion.

“Like it or not, Blake Lewis was the runner up on AI 6, signed with a major label, and put out a CD. Those are facts that cannot be disputed.”

We know. We’ve pointed that out repeatedely. Usually as we wonder why Blake feels the need to go slagging off on others. Others still trying to make their way in the music industry. If he was confident enough with himself and his status, he wouldn’t feel the need to do that. Obviously, something is very wrong with him and his life.

“Outside of this site, where and how exactly is Sanjaya famous.”

Apparently famous enough to get national coverage and multiple MTV articles and TRL news segments for simply doing a batmitsvah – for CHARITY.

“Personally, I don’t think this kind of “fan support” is doing Sanjaya any favors.”

Funny, we think the kind of “fan support” you’re giving Blake (defending the undefendable and trying to justify his rude behavior) isn’t helping your boy either.

“If and when he releases a CD, he’s going to be up against the same kind of treatment any AI alumni is subjected to.”

Of course. And if Sanjaya starts behaving like Blake when that happens, you can be sure we will take him to task for it. It’s very unbecoming and very unlike Sanjaya.

“It seems that if you really care about Sanjaya, you would concentrate your energies on supporting him instead of beating this dead horse and continuing along the hypocritical and hysterical path you are on.”

Trust me, we support our boy FIERCELY. But we understand you haven’t spent anytime in our world to know that.

“I agree with EndoftheWorld. Blake’s fans are amused that you are spending so much time caring about what he says.”

And we Sanjaya fans think it’s sad that you STILL. DON’T. GET. IT.

Nobody would be talking about Blake here if he was not dissing famous people like Sanjaya. So I don’t understand how this does Blake fans proud. Isn’t it pathetic that Blake has to use Sanjaya as the topic so he could get into headlines? Why not focus on promoting his flopping CD instead?

This is the worst interview. Blake should learn to STFU already.

I poked my head into TeamPlaid just this week to see how Blake fans are reacting to his behavior. I think I clicked on a total of 3 blogs. Hardly stalking. But, whatevia. p

And YES it’s about the “number of bad things” said. Yes that show a PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR as opposed to a one off comment.

The incident itself doesn’t sound like a big deal. I can see Sanjaya getting excited and loud and Blake losing his temper when he was tired. Kind of thing that an older brother/cousin/friend would do.

I was kind of surprised at the racist comments though. The DJ was playing off what Blake said about there being a lot of money in doing mitzvahs because Jews have a lot of money.

It must get really tiring for Blake to have Sanjaya mentioned in almost every interview.

laureldj on March 30, 2008 at 3:33 pm

Blech sounds rather “high & mighty” for someone so low & puny.

Were he the man/”role model” he claims to be, would he be roughing up a kid/minor then bragging about it?

I don’t believe this no class gnome could actually take Sanjaya in a physical confrontation anyway. Sanjaya’s thin, but he’s pretty strong & wirey.

Can you spell BULL-Y?

How about LAW SUIT? (slander, libel, child abuse) ?

Child Abuse
It may include using extreme or bizarre forms of punishment, such as locking the child in a closet or tying him or her to furniture for a long periods of time. Emotional abuse also includes constantly disparaging a child or blaming him or her for family problems.

Pud333,

IF it’s true then that’s a PRIVATE issue and not a public one to be hashed out in the media.

It wasn’t even the topic of conversation during the interview. Blake was there to talk about his new single and his album. But for some reason he went off on this mean-spirited tangent.

If Blake was SMART, he would have just brought the focus back on his music and not bashed anyone.

snuffles on March 30, 2008 at 4:07 pm

Oh, come on. Call it jerky behavior, not abuse. That’s insulting to abused children- small, helpless, beaten and scarred by their own parents or others entrusted with their care.

“If I had a “friend” who talked about me in public the way Blake talks about Sanjaya, then claimed to “love” me, I would consider that relationship abusive and would put an end to it on those grounds. If that doesn’t make sense to you, you have my sympathies.”

It makes perfect sense to me that you’d end it. If someone’s being a crappy friend, that’s probably the best decision. That doesn’t make being a crappy friend a form of abuse.

“If your teacher talked in public about your being disrespectful, the cops might not be interested, but the school board would be.”

The point was that calling someone disrespectful is not abuse, and it isn’t. In the case of a teacher it might be unprofessional, because teachers have power over students and are responsible for them. None of that applies here, and no, there is no professional code for pop stars. Why not just say you think he’s a jerk?

kaija on March 30, 2008 at 4:27 pm

Kaija,

But it IS unprofessional behavior. No, there is no formally written code of conduct, but most in the entertainment business know to avoid saying things like that.

This reminds of an early Jennifer Lopez interview. She was just starting to get big after “Selena” and was pretty high on life. In a major movie magazine interview she started trashing other actresses. I remember Gwyneth Paltrow in particular. Saying that Gwyneth was only famous because she was dating Brad Pitt and she really hadn’t done anything of value. Stuff like that.

Long story short, Jennifer caught HELL for what she said (and deservedly so). Not only in the media but among her peers as well. I remember the story haunting her for MONTHS at LEAST. Who knows exactly how long the ripple affects were in her career.

I remember losing a lot of respect for her after reading it myself. It took me a while to get past it. But the main thing was – Jennifer learned from her mistake and didn’t do it again. Most likely hired herself a publicist for damage control and learned how to be more diplomatic in public. Eventually people got back to appreciating her and her work.

Something Blake should consider himself.

Laurel, having grown up with several brothers, it sounds like horsing around to me, too, with some animosity behind it, not just “brotherly love.” Abuse seems way too strong a word to me. The thing that I find most curious is that Blake, not the DJs, brought up Sanjaya in this interview. I think it’s a calculated move to seize on the attention Sanjaya brought to Season 6 and to somehow try to contrast himself as a legitimate artist against this “little kid,” who is now 18 going on 19. The DJs actually seem a little stunned that Blake continues to discuss Sanjaya: “so when you saw him again, did you lay him flat?” “wow, he didn’t have a father to beat him?” and only then does Blake attempt to get complimentary in his condescending way: “he’s a nice little kid.” What’s so odd is that Blake IS legitimate in that he’s got a recording out that he’s trying to promote, but instead of talking about the music, he’s talking about how he’s NOT Sanjaya and Sanjaya’s just a little punk, and on and on. THIS is what he’s doing with his promotional opportunities? weird. and awkward. I guess to talk about his CD, he’d face the inevitable questions about why it’s not doing well.

Wonderwhy, you suggested that people interviewing Sanjaya could ask for his side of the story, but it would really be out of character for Sanjaya to engage in any public riff with Blake. Sanjaya knows how to take the high road. When he releases a recording (#34), if anything, he will face stronger scrutiny than any AI alum, and you can trust that we will all be here to buy his music and support him

I personally wouldn’t go so far as to call it abuse either. I don’t know enough about their interactions to make that claim. Although I certainly wouldn’t brush off the event as just good natured rough housing either.

But agree it’s “jerky behavior” and that Blake is behaving like a “crappy friend”. And if Blake were MY “friend”, treated me that way, talked about me like that in public, then turned around and said he loved me…well I’d be kicking his butt to the curb right about now.

I’m not a fan of of Sanjaya, and have tried to ignore all the lame things Blake has said post-Idol. But I would just like to say that Blake “titties in yo mouth” Lewis is a complete douche.

Kaija: “Oh, come on. Call it jerky behavior, not abuse. That’s insulting to abused children- small, helpless, beaten and scarred by their own parents or others entrusted with their care.” LOL. So you’re pulling the Hitler card. As soon as someone uses Hitler as an analogy for ANYTHING, someone else comes along and calls it making a mockery of the Holocaust. Such apologists automatically have the moral high ground because nothing is worse than the Holocaust, or, in this case, legally defined child abuse. I think you’re deliberately missing my point to divert attention from the real issue, which is that Blake seems to be an abusive jerk who abuses his “friends”/”friendships.”

Going on a radio show talking about someone’s family dynamics, character flaws etc, to me, that’s ABUSE. You may not agree with my definition – that’s fine. Abuse comes in many forms and can be applied to a multitude of situations.

Just a reminder to everyone who seems hung up on this abuse/not abuse issue: I am in no way referring to what happened on the bus. I was not there to know how it went down. I am referring to Blake’s responses on the radio show, and using a broad definition of abuse to make the point that, regardless of how it went down on the bus, Blake was wrong to TALK about it the way he did. Not sure how that point got so lost. See my posts at #11, #33, and #53 (esp. dictionary definition #3).

En, I think we need more information before calling it abuse. I am not sure how long Sanjaya was locked in the closet. If it is just 5 minutes, I would call it bully. If it is like 30 minutes, I would call it abuse considering Sanjaya was still a kid then. Either way I would call Blake a jerk.

If Blake is using these radio interview opportunites to not only trash but also bait Sanjaya into publicly denouncing or engaging in any back & forth on the statements already out there, he shouldn’t hold his breath! As Jill has stated, she & Sanjaya believe in Positive Thought & won’t look back! What I suggest Blake do is focus on his CD & any remaining integrity he can muster. Because as his radio media blitz has gone he’ll continue to have to address ‘the Sanjaya issue’ as a point of interest rather than his own vision that went into creating his debut effort in future interviews.

Blakes’ attempts to make Sanjaya out as a joke have back-fired essentially, exposing a bullying characterisic in an adult who harbors jealousy against a very young adult because things aren’t going very well for him.

During the show, the viewer sensed an outcast treatment of Sanjaya who basically brushed off the negativity. I actually am & was always relieved that Sanjaya was 17 at the time of the Tour requiring a guardian. Had he been 18, he would have been solo with the rest of the gang & subjected to mis-treatment with Blake the ringleader. That aspect worked out well with Jill &/or Shyamali present throught the Tour period.

Still, Sanjaya was subjected to abuse outside of the AI confines contributed by mainstream & not-so-mainstream media types in what was written about this kid. Much of it racist & unkind & Blake knows that. How inconsiderate! But karma is a mutha!

No matter who is right or wrong (and I think Blake is wrong), no one can say he hasn’t turned into a world class jerk since Idol ended.

Anyone see New Years Eve w/Blake on tv? His rude “why would *i* make resolutions, *I live my life to the fullest” and then the famous and pathetic “tit*ies in your mouth!” What a jerk…..

That freakin interview is so OLD! Always trying to stir up something here. Why can’t idol just be love, why all the hate lately? Listen to Blake’s latest interview, no mention of Sanjaya. (KOOL 105.5 Radio Interview). Most of the times the dj’s bring it up and sometimes Blake does but for whatever reason, so what? Oh come you guys have never mess around with your friends by locking them in a room as a joke? It all seems pretty innocent and silly. Remember Sanjaya had guardian with him the whole time on tour so if anything remotely wrong happen during the tour, it would of been reported and plus they had TONS of people around them at all times. Why do people like to blow everything out of proportions? Yes Sanjaya is infamous and will forever be in idol history. Why not focus on Sanjaya’s upcoming events and future and not on Blake’s silly interviews with dj’s that just want to stir things up because they have nothing better to do. Anyhow I am done with my soapbox, lets make idol fun again, please. Think Archie ftw!!!

“That freakin interview is so OLD!”

I don’t consider a few weeks ago “old”.

“Always trying to stir up something here. Why can’t idol just be love, why all the hate lately?”

Because the hate is coming from Blake and we’re discussing it.

” Listen to Blake’s latest interview, no mention of Sanjaya. (KOOL 105.5 Radio Interview).”

Well thank goodness!

“Most of the times the dj’s bring it up and sometimes Blake does but for whatever reason, so what?”

Because it’s mean-spirited and not to mention stupid on Blake’s part. (see all posts above and previous posts on how umproffesional his behavior is).

“Oh come you guys have never mess around with your friends by locking them in a room as a joke?”

Nope. I never did. I never played pranks like that.

“It all seems pretty innocent and silly.”

To you. Not to many of us.

“Remember Sanjaya had guardian with him the whole time on tour so if anything remotely wrong happen during the tour, it would of been reported and plus they had TONS of people around them at all times.”

I shudder to think what Blake would have done if Sanjaya DIDN’T have a guardian with him. I can’t imagine the kind of hazing Blake would have gotten up to “all in good fun”.

“Why do people like to blow everything out of proportions?”

Why does Blake need to bash Sanjaya over something that was over MONTHS ago? Shouldn’t he be over it by now? It doesn’t seem that way. He came out on top on Idol. He should be happy; but instead he seems very bitter.

“Yes Sanjaya is infamous and will forever be in idol history. Why not focus on Sanjaya’s upcoming events and future and not on Blake’s silly interviews with dj’s that just want to stir things up because they have nothing better to do.”

First off, we support Sanjaya in EVERY thing his does. We’ve gotten really good at it. Part of supporting him and having his back when he’s unfairly lambasted.

And it just cuts to the bone that he’s being verbally insulted by someone who claims to be a “friend”.

Yes, I think we can agree that Blake is a jerk, and he’s particularly hostile in this interview. He starts out with telling the interviewer that making fun of Sanjaya “is kind of easy,” talks about locking him up and teaching him a lesson, and then saying that it was all okay because Sanjaya thanked him at the end of the tour, and yes, Hester, that behavior and rationalization sounds abusive to me.
JulieL, thanks (?) for clearing up “titties in your mouth.” I didn’t know it was something that happened at New Year’s. Classy as usual.
Aprylette, excellent point that “Much of [the media’s coverage was] racist & unkind & Blake knows that.” Karma is indeed a mutha, LOL!
Sue, I do not agree that the lockup was innocent fun; it was malevolent (read Lord of the Flies?). If you found a recent interview where Sanjaya was not discussed, Blake is learning to keep his mouth shut, that’s progress. You are right that it would be best to focus on what Sanjaya is up to.  Last I heard, he was meeting with Japan’s fanjayas and working on his music, but we haven’t heard much. I would guess that Rickey knows that anything Sanjaya-related generates traffic on the site, so he’s keeping things moving. The first we hear of a single, Rickey will be on it, and we will all be rejoicing. Final comment: “ftw” to fanjayas tends to mean “For the Worst” (as in VFTW). It took me a bit to realize you mean “for the win.”

I have been coming to this site for years so believe me I am not new to this. I just couldn’t believe all the attention on this topic recently, just my opinion. I understand your support and it’s all good. I think a reply from Sanjaya would be better than fans speculating on what went on. Well I guess my friends and I like to joke around and play pranks on each other. LOL. I guess you can never be too overprotective of your idol. Should we send Sanjaya a bodyguard? Geez-louise……..I think Sanjaya is quite capable of defending himself. You are right though, Blake doesn’t need to bring Sanjaya up, but he gets ask about him at every interview. Remember Sanjaya is the FAMOUS one so his name gets thrown out a lot. That’s the price for being so famous. Blake is Blake and he is too brutally honest at times and yeah he does need a PR person to help him. I just think some of the inteviews have been blown WAY out of proportions.

Enough! He was given every opportunity and because he is a failure as a singer, songwriter and entertainer, he feels the need to just bash decent people who deserve success far more than he ever did- Sanjaya is a sweet kid who is grateful for all the things that happened to him, Blake is an ungrateful jerk who should be sent back to the diseased rathole he came out of!

Hee. Wonderwhy is Bully from Teamplaid and she’s trying really hard to put on the brave face. Yesterday she was practically posting in tears about how mean people are to Blake. Nah, this doesn’t make you laugh, it makes you cry to see Blake totally lose control of his image. Between rickey.org, tmz, twop, perezhilton, votefortheworst, and even The Advocate and other internet sites, the universal theme about Blake is what a douchebag he is. That’s gonna stick to him for a long time.

In fact he’ll be remembered that way long after J drops him. Which is inevitable at this point. I could care less about Sanjaya or David A. I just can’t stand Blake. I’m sure none of his fans will be upset about that though right? And, hey, I’m just being honest and this is America…lol

So, how many spins has HMW gotten? Blake was soooo sure it was the single to make him a star. When’s his tour?? Surely J wants to get him out on the road in a major way right? Let’s change the subject and talk about all those great things. lol

A response from Chris Sligh on VFTW. (IMO, Chris is acting like a good friend and a class act all the way.) http://www.votefortheworst.com/forum/topic1195-3580.html

Before you read this, know that I have been trying to figure out how to defend a friend. I’m not here to fame-whore. I’m not latching on to Blake or Sanjaya’s name to make myself more famous. The forum world is a small amount of people (comparatively) and most everyone in that world knows who I am already, so fame-whoring in that sense is redundant. I have stayed out of it for a while letting everyone be pissed (and rightfully so). So, please read my comments here as a friend of the person who’s being bashed.

Okay…Blake’s comments about Sanjaya were definitely more blunt than they could’ve or should’ve been. However, the frustration that it might come from is real…

I’m sure that it has to be frustrating for Blake: his first single didn’t do great (it did well, but not great) because the label chose a single that he wasn’t really on board with. Now he’s promoting a 2nd single that he loves and every interview the DJ’s ask about what it was like to have Sanjaya on the show.

To be fair, every interview that Sanjaya comes up, it is usually in a negative connotation. It’s not like the DJ’s are asking what it was like to have Sanjaya being so awesome every week…the DJ’s are negative.

The problem is that Blake hasn’t used the negative coming from the other end of the microphone to turn it around and be positive about Sanjaya, which makes him seem like a jerk (Blake can have his moments – just like I can, like Sanjaya can, like everyone can – but the dude is not a jerk…Blake is actually one of the kinder people I know).

On here, I told you guys that it really took tour for me to realize that Sanjaya is actually A) a really great kid, B) a good friend, and C) a good singer. I think that it was that way for a lot of people. Apparently Blake never learned to appreciate Sanjaya’s talent like most of us did.

On tour, Sanjaya, Phil, Shyamali and I spent a lot of time together and I learned some of Sanjaya’s story and really fell in love with the person that Sanjaya is and wants to be. I also learned to respect his talent and where he was coming from as a 17/18-year old who was literally growing artistically by leaps and bounds with every show he did. He’s a way better performer/entertainer than I’ll ever be and I got to watch him work it every night on stage (I went on for my solo number right after his solo number every night). Blake did not have that same experience (and to call Sanjaya fans ignorant was, I’ll admit, tactless and put him in a bad position).

This is not a defense of Blake’s actions…his actions in this case are wrong and non-defendable….in the same way that my saying Sanjaya was the 24th best singer of the top 24 (back in April) was wrong and indefensible…I apologized back then and have strove to keep negativity about other contestants out of my lexicon of writing and speaking since then.

My point is this: back in April, I messed up and said some negative things…but I think my time here on vftw has proven (I think) that my tool-ness wasn’t as great as many had suspected. I can tell you that Blake’s is way lower than you guys are thinking right now.

Hope that makes sense. Again, I’m not defending anything Blake said or did. I’m just trying to defend him as a person…all of us make mistakes.

Peace and love,
Chris

Thanks for pointing that out on post #68. “infamous”, having an exceedingly bad reputation; notorious. Hmmm…was that a Freudian slip for me? LOL. In a way it does fit since Sanjaya was bashed by people everywhere in the media and still is for being on too long because of his notorious hairstyles. He was entertaining and that is all that counts. I loved his “Besame Mucho” performance. Ok anyhow, back to Archie, Season 6 is soooo last year. LOL. Archie better bring it tomorrow!

Blah! Blah! What about all the stories we hear of Blake being a total ASS to fans who have tried to come up to him? What was his EXCUSE then? And his first single did not do WELL, it couldn’t even get in the Billboard TOP 100 chart, it was a flop and nothing is going to change that. And since he helped “write” it- his no-talent self is to blame for it. He is a jerk and people should start writing to the label to drop his ugly nasty ass as soon as possible for the way he badmouths others while not having a lick of talent to back up any reason he has a contract in the first place.

Stavrogin on March 30, 2008 at 9:29 pm

Hester,

That was a great post from Chris. The difference between Sligh and Blake is that Sligh actually APOLOGIZED (and I don’t mean the half-assed “explaining” Blake tried to do over here). Sligh also realized his mistakes and changed his behavior. I have since grown to respect and even like Sligh.

I’m still waiting for some sign that Blake is the slightest bit sorry for what he said.

But I agree with Sligh with one thing, Blake is in a really bad place right now in his career and unfortunately his way of dealing with it is taking it out on the easiest target he can find – Sanjaya.

snuffles on March 30, 2008 at 9:29 pm

Hester, thanks very much for the Sligh post. As usual, he’s insightful and shows he’s learned from his mistakes. And, similar to what we’ve said in these Blake bully threads, Chris doesn’t understand why Blake keeps taking the bait on the negative Sanjaya questions (or, in this particular interview, baiting himself). It’s good to hear this from an Idol6 alum. Sanjaya had a reputation for being impish (and freely admitted he could be full of himself at times), and I can understand that getting to be a bit much to others, so I appreciate that Chris took the time to get to know Sanjaya and grew to admire his qualities. I don’t fully get the “toolness” paragraph, but that’s okay. Chris is thoughtful, and this had to be a difficult post for him.

GirlyGirl45 on March 30, 2008 at 9:33 pm

thank you, #76.
this is how we all should feel.
imagine making the album of your dreams, and then having it not do well. and when you’re trying to promote your new single and possibly turn things around, all the DJs can be are racist, off topic, and degrading. i’d be frustrated too. of course, i agree, Blake was way too blunt with what he said, but i’d be angry if i was trying to sleep and someone kept waking me up!
the thing is, i think you are are just so obsessed with sanjaya that you’re not considering anything. blake is only human. seriously, how much of your life did you spend on that useless graphic?? wow, sanjaya has some GREAT fans. im sure he’s proud of you all.
do you see blake fans writing “bully” over someone who bashes blake?? we should be writing “bully” all over YOUR faces. but we don’t, because we’re not that low and childish. have fun, kids.

Wow! Chris Sligh FTW! Yay Chris! Ok, I didn’t get the “tool-ness” either – what does that mean – it wasn’t so great and Blake’s is low? Self-esteem?

Maybe the next interview Blake can say if asked about Sanjaya – “Thank you for having me here -I’m here to talk about my new single and how stoked I am about it, so let’s move on!”

If you can’t say anything good about someone, say nothing at all!

Wow – at all the new posters!

2kidsdogs on March 30, 2008 at 10:21 pm

I think Chris just means that he hopes he’s proven he isn’t as big a tool as people thought when they read his negative comments (which he admits were wrong) and that Blake isn’t as big a tool as people think either — even though Chris thinks his negative comments are wrong too.

I’m a pretty big Blake fan, but even I have to admit that he really went overboard with this. Regardless of whether Sanjaya disturbed him on tour, he is not in the position to say that Sanji “didn’t have a father figure in his life”. That would indicate poor upbringing and a bad character, which I am sure Sanjaya isn’t that bad at all. Sure, his life has been complicated, but I don’t think it’s up to Blake as a friend to judge. Gosh, Blake, why are you killing your career like this? -__-

Chris Sligh, on the other hand, did a great job with that VFTW post. He really does have a way with words and yes, being insightful. I didn’t like him before, but his blogs has won me over little by little.

Akari, I’m in the same boat with you. This is not the Blake that I enjoyed so much on AI.

He has come off like a know-it-all in all of these interviews and it’s really really disappointing.

3907326, you defend Blake saying that “all the DJs can be are racist, off topic, and degrading.”

Blake brought up Sanjaya (off topic) in a degrading way in response to a question about whether Blake kept in touch with any of the idols.

As to the racist remarks, the DJ was playing off of the comment from Blake that he wished he could do bar(t) mitzvahs (like Sanjaya) because Jews have a lot of money.

I don’t think that the “Bully-gate” incident” was all that horrible, but it’s the things Blake says that are making enemies right now. You have to remember that Blake is bringing most of this on himself — it isn’t just the DJ’s.

Heavyblow, very good point in your final paragraph (87). Diva attitudes are tolerated only when someone has impeccable and established talent. Up-and-comers are not established; they have no credibility, so they need to build it. They do so first and foremost by proving their talent with solid performance after solid performance. Second, they have charisma–the ability to draw people in by being, or at least coming across as, likable (as Kapua pointed out so well on one of these threads) or as outstanding leaders or whatever. In the arts, it’s that It factor. Sanjaya needs to work on the first (as do all but 3-4 Idols, for that matter), but he’s definitely got the second. Blake has neither as far as I’m concerned, but I realize his fans see something that I just don’t.

Laureldj, thanks for the explanation on “tool,” as well as for holding Blake accountable for his actions and comments. Also, let’s remember that despite the money to be had on the mitzvah circuit, the young lady and Sanjaya did this for charity. In fact, many of Sanjaya’s appearances since the tour have been for charity. It gives him practice, keeps his name out there, and helps people connect him with good things while he’s working on his music. Sanjaya has time to build his career and be the person he aspires to be. Blake’s time may be running out, despite working at this “for years,” and he may have further shortened that fuse with all of his negativity.

GirlyGirl45 on March 31, 2008 at 2:08 pm

What a bastard Blake is. I guess he thinks he’s god now deciding Sanjaya needs punishment and to lock him up in a closet or what ever. That is just wrong.
Then Blake says that Sanjaya thanked him for doing that. Blake is trying to make it sound like he was helping Sanjaya to justify his locking Sanjaya up. I really don’t think Sanjaya thanked him. Sanjaya also would never say bad things about any of the Idols or anyone for that matter especially on a live broadcast on the radio for everyone to hear. Blake is a real jerk.

This last deal about locking Little Sanjaya up (somewhere?)Blakes reasoning is sound…Sanjaya was being obnoxious (why do I find this easy to believe) and Blake had had enough….fair enough.
Truth be told, all the ignorant words that Blake has spewed over the last few days will not hurt any of intended victims….feelings maybe….careers? not in the least. The only one that will pay for shooting off his mouth, is….Blake. He of course, is allowed to have an opinion…it’s just that every time he expresses one, he commits just one more act of vocational suicide….Which, if that is intention…is fine with me…

I think Sanjaya and Blake should do a kiss-and-make-up video. It would be funny, cute and “positive”.

Sunshine, that’s a great idea. No matter what Blake said or did, you know that Sanjaya won’t be holding a grudge. Negativity just isn’t his focus and it shows in everything he does.

That would seriously be awesomely funny and great for both of them publicity wise — maybe more so Blake right now, but that’s ok.

Yes, I agree that could be a good scenario for both Blake and Sanjaya, but i also relish the idea of Sanjaya saying, “gee, I’d love to help you out, Blake, but I’m kind of busy right now.”

On GMA, Blake Lewis says his musical inspirations for beat-boxing were PeeWee Herman and Mork and Mindy! HA HA HA!

you know, i LOVE IT when people come on here and talk about the posters having respect. especially when people DID NOT have any respect last year. where were you guys when the fans and sanjaya didn’t get ANY respect last year? didn’t think so. i didn’t think the hypocrites would come out so quick. i think you blake defenders should SUCK IT UP. quit complaining about the rudeness of comments, cuz you guys didn’t have to endure what the fanjayas had to endure. and still have to. suck it up and deal. next time maybe you guys will have consideration for other fanbases when “voicing your opinions” cuz you never know when it will happen to you. and see, it already has. that’s the beauty of karma.

begin, don’t make me choke today, rofl.

truth it, his comment were, as always, TACKY. if sanjaya was obnoxious, fine, whatever. but nobody gives a flying fig about behind the scenes drama. keep it to yourself, no matter how much your career is bombing. if anyone else got on holy blake’s nerves, i wonder if we will ever hear about that, or will blake’s only target be sanjaya. only time will tell.

Hester-thanks for the sligh blog. I liked it v. v. much. I was never cared for him but he has earned my respect.

I think even worse than Blakes horrendous comments were his tone, how we put them through. It would have come of totally different if he had sounded the least bit guilty or uncomfortable in admiting to locking Sanjaya in a closet. However, he said it with arrogance and a bragging tone to his voice, like this is a good thing. Blake comments were catty and, as sprout said, tacky. V. tacky. I am sensing ALOT jealousy and hypocricy.
I also hated how racist/anti-semetic the DJ was. Maybe he was just joking, but I honestly didnt like it.(though maybe I’m just being biased since i’m jewish-lol!) Also, I didnt like how he threw out their that “[Sanjaya] was doing Bar mitzvahs now.” He said it as if Sanjaya has no life, has faded away and his fiteen minutes are up. First of all, it was ONE Bat Mitzvah, and he did it for a fanjaya, requesting she donate some money to charity. Personally, I find that super sweet of him. And would the DJ scoff if it was Blake at a Bat Mitzvah? Didn’t think so.

I heard that Blake called David Archuleta boring. He must be jealous of David A because David A sings Imagine much much better than him. Blake is not nice. I am disappointed in him.
