To everyone coming from Google Blog Search - welcome! (I’m the first result for the search ‘american idol sanjaya’ :) )

One of my guilty pleasures is that I watch American Idol. Yes, yes, I do. (Because the people that I live with do as well - not my fault! Honestly!) Just a few seconds ago, Sanjaya Malakar has finally been eliminated. I’ve continuously had doubts as to whether the system really works, whether the viewers really know what they want and who they want to win, and whether there were (large) groups of people out there that were ‘hacking’ the system, such as Howard Stern’s campaign to vote for Malakar to win the competition. I guess the MySpace guys on hunger strike can finally stop, too.

This finally shows that at least the American Idol system works, to some extent!

On a side note, I’ve gotten a few hundred visitors for this one post alone, within the first few minutes of publishing it. Thanks to all the visitors for stopping by, and feel free to click around! :)

I have posted a follow-up to this post, just talking about what happened and why this particular post got a sudden surge of visitors.

    Nicole,

    Yeah! I was a big Chris Richardson fan before, but after seeing his more recent performances, I’m not so sure. Well, we’ll see how things turn out now! :)

    Mayank,

    Yeah, I wouldn’t normally submit my own stories myself, but it was more of a time-sensitive article, so I did.

    Lol, such bad practice… Don’t let it go to your head though; you’re already out of the front page on google blog :P

    Anonymous,

    I know :) But, it was fun while it lasted!

    Look, I for one wanted to see Sanjaya get the boot! When he did, I cried tears of joy! He couldn’t sing worth a damn and people like Stephanie Edwards were suffering of it. Now she shoulda stayed longer. I guess the hair wasn’t cuttin it. American Idol will be an sucess without him and I wish Jordin and Melinda good luck. Look out Phil Stacey ’cause ur next!

  12. Gary King Friday, April 20 2007 at 7:24 pm EDT #

    Kelz, yeah, I think Phil has one of the highest chances of being booted next!

  13. Kelz Wednesday, May 9 2007 at 6:54 pm EDT #

    Didn’t I tell ya gary? Phil was plucked back to his hometown! Wait…… aren’t we both rite?

    P.S: Simon doesn’t know crap about american idol! He’s from london for god sakes!
