Sanjaya's Positive Attributes to American Idol

Tweet

Sanjaya Malakar has not been one of my top favorite contestants on American Idol this season. I must admit, however, that he is one of the contestants that drew my attention. He seemed to have a knack for making the show interesting. He was the one contestant that you often waited to see what he would come up with next. Sanjaya made his appearance on American Idol a very interesting one. With his perm, his new earrings, his outlandish hairstyles, and the ability to get Paula Abdul to do a little dance with him, he often had a way of putting us on the edge of our seats because we did not know what to expect from him next. I have to admit that I will miss that just a little. He seemed to grow in his confidence right before our eyes, and then last week, when he was voted off, he showed his vunerable side. With tears in his eyes, he still stood strong and smiled at the camera as he sang for the last time on the American Idol stage. Many people did not like Sanjaya, or his style, but he deserves a pat on the back for a game well played.
