So what is the deal with Sanjaya Malakar? I read somewhere, forgive me for not remembering, that the Fantonellas are now Fanjayas. Nice, go from one suck-ass performer to another. I’d expect nothing less of course; I’m just hoping that no pictures of Malakar in a wet t-shirt prancing around a national monument crop up. Ohhhh, I crack myself up! To see an example of how dedicated the Fanjayas are to Malakar check out this post on the American Idol forums.
In other Sanjaya news reports have been floating around the Internet claiming that Malakar and/or his family have attacked Vote For The Worst for bashing their son. There is even a reported statement from someone “close to the family” rebutting the alleged verbal attack saying to VFTW to bring on the media attention. VFTW has come out with an official statement to the Malakar family.
“On the contrary, we think this report is fishy. First of all, a source “close to the family” means it’s not actually his family. We think Sanjaya is smart enough to know any press is good press. And secondly, Sanjaya has been embracing his VFTW-ness recently with fun performances, crazier hairstyles, and more sass.
We think Sanjaya’s in on the fun. So to the Malakar family: feel free to contact us, we love Sanjaya and we would love to see him win. The true haters are the people out there who bash him and say he sucks. Wrong. Sanjaya is the best thing to happen to American Idol in years, and we’d love to chat with the Malakars because we love them so much! Shyamali, Momjaya, and anyone else, you can contact us here.”
To end this update I’d like to leave you all with a little something I found over on JD Matthew’s American Idol blog. It’s a Saturday Night Live parody of our beloved Sanjaya and a few of his Fanjayas!
