Poor Sanjaya. I just hope this kid does not commit suicide. I hope he is being encouraged to quit, seriously, even tho he does seem to be holding his own. But none of this ridiculous publicity is worth it. I imagine he is sticking it out to prove a point but this is just too much. This has gotten brutal and completely unkind.
If he can last, he'll surely have thicker skin and a stronger spine and end up a much better person when this is all over. Hopefully a lesson is being learned by future AI wannabe's - - don't do it.
Brutal and unkind to say the least. Music is and always will be subjective. Unless you are being held to a specific criteria, by a Music master, which this contest is being voted by everyone who can dial or text a vote, the outcomes are all subjective as well.
I saw a video of Sanjaya's mom watching him sing, and you could see the love and the hurt that she was feeling for him, when he was trashed. This isn't a Haley can't sing or a Phil can't sing, this is a hate frenzy that is going on. I am shocked by it all.
If the downloads are any indication, I predict that Sanjaya will be will be singing all the way to the bank, while all the bashers/haters will be wondering what the?
