American Idol

My daughter said that Howard Stern is promoting Sanjaya (sp) and all his listeners are voting for him.  Anyone else hear this?

My daughter said that Howard Stern is promoting Sanjaya (sp) and all his listeners are voting for him.  Anyone else hear this?

Yes, that is true.  There is an article at the mtv website about it.  It says in part:

Stern — a self-professed "Idol" junkie, much to the chagrin of his mostly male audience and buoyant sidekick, funnyman Artie Lange — has thrown his full support behind the 17-year-old finalist, considered by many to be this season's underdog. The mediocre Malakar has evoked comparisons to third-season hopeful William Hung, and each week, he finds himself accused of slaughtering yet another song.

And that's precisely why Stern would like to see Sanjaya assume the "Idol" title from the affable, salt-and-pepper-pelted Taylor Hicks. Of course Stern's espousal is largely disingenuous; after calling Malakar his "favorite contestant" recently, Stern confessed he'd like to see Sanjaya win because he's the least talented of this year's finalists.

Dialidol has Sanjaya with the 5 highest amount of votes.

They say Haley , Gina, and Chris S. are the bottom 3.

Have to say Monkey, with all the chatter about your avatar and talk about this
sanjaya guy, I watched Idol for the first time last night. Ok tell me do you cry when he sings like the little girl? :)) I sure hope Howard is not successful, he is trying to make the show a joke. I had to agree with Simon's view about him and the girls crying but he said for different reasons lol  But I dod think the show is getting 'old' .

Here's another blurb from TV Guide lol-
« Today's News: Our Take Idol Chatter: Who Was Sanjaya's Sobbing Superfan?Melinda Doolittle may have gotten raves from the judges, but the real star of American Idol this week was Ashley Ferl, the 13-year-old from Riverside, California, whose tears rolled as the cameras rolled. Ashley, who attended the taping with her mom and a teenage pal on Tuesday, could hardly contain her excitement when the 11 Idol finalists took the stage. When Sanjaya, one of the four Idols she told Ryan Seacrest she's rooting for, smiled in her direction during his performance of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me," Ashley wept uncontrollably, in front of 37 million viewers.

Then again, the pigtailed teen never expected to be in such close proximity to Idol's fledgling stars. Is it any wonder that she was overwhelmed?

According to producers, the Ferl family landed on Idol after snagging tickets to a taping of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. Soon after receiving the ducats, they realized that the package also included access to a rehearsal of either Idol or 5th Grader. Clearly, it wasn't a difficult decision. As fate would have it, producers took notice of Ashley when she began sobbing during Idol's pre-show. They swiftly invited the family to the final taping, where she again wept uncontrollably. And so, thanks to Idol, another star is born. — Reporting by Dana Meltzer Zepeda

 :( Poor Stephanie

It (Sangina) survived again  :@ Stephanie is a heck of a lot better than "it"  ::)

And am I the only one that sees a big resemblance between Fantasia and Stephanie?  ???

[Tara]

Stephanie is better than Haley and a few others.   I'm glad Chris R. didn't go. He was one of my favorites last night.  >:D

[Ms.Behavin]

I thought I saw Antoileta in the audience last night. When they showed Chris's friend, she was there. I could be wrong though.

[Tara]

I think who you saw was Alaina sitting with Chris's friends. I could be wrong, but if I am..don't tell anyone.  :,
