If you’re like me who only watch the devastating American Idol audition episodes, you will agree that Sanjaya Malakar was pretty much one of the best to try out. And even Simon Cowell thought he had promise.

Now lo and behold as everyone, with Simon at the front, is out to get the boy voted out by trashing out the worst commentaries and adjectives they could think about. Unfortunately, it’s all backfiring as evident with Malakar’s entry to the show’s Magic 10 circle.

What could be the evil forces that has kept the guy from getting the boot week after week? Those bushy hair may have superpowers that could hypnotize evey 12 to 15-year-olds that watch American Idol.

His teenybopper fans who could cry at the sight of his awkward, spasmic writhing onstage.

It could also be the growing community of anti-AI who would rather keep the really bad ones for some real entertainment value, as pioneered by this Vote for the Worst website who is now the biggest campaigner for Malakar.

True that this process is unfair to the contestants who are actually carrying a pound of talent. But c’mon, Jennifer Hudson already proved to y’all that there’s life after getting an early boot. All you need is a good agent.

And please, don’t tell me you don’t know that agents are now scrambling to sign up these superstar wannabes. Before they could even pack their bags, a record deal has been signed and the songs are lined up.

So don’t feel so bad about these unlucky contestants. Let Sanjaya Malakar have his day, he’s still more tolerable than William Hung.

Plus, don’t you just love it when Simon is really pissed off?
