Is it really "popularity" that's keeping him around or is it this movement to vote for the worst? Even Howard Stern jumped on the vote for the worst bandwagon now because apparently there's just nobody that great this season.

If Simon thinks he's so terrible, then why did he put him through in the first place? Isn't that the point of the tryouts and Hollywood, to weed out the people who would embarrass Simon to the point of leaving the show if they were to win?

Sanjaya is not moving forward because of his popularity. He's moving forward because of his race. Plain and simple. He's annoying, physically repulsive, and not talented. His race is keeping him alive, much like Hawaiians voted en masse for Jasmine Tryas.

But the person above who said that Simon is at fault is damn right. The judges put this jerk in the final 12 in the first place. He should never have come that far. He is simply not good enough.

FANJAYAS!! HAHAHA I need a shirt! I am a Fanilow! What does it feel like to be a Fanjaya? I'm gonna try that!

Vote for the Worst has had no hand in keeping Sanjaya on the show so far since this is the first week they're throwing their support his way. Until now, they were backing Sundance and only switched to Sanjaya when Sundance was voted out.

Simon knows what he's talking about. He really explains clearly what the contestants did right or wrong. There is no beating around the bush. Sanjaya
seems like a lovely boy, however, his signing is monotone and at this point extremely boring. He needs to go NOW! I just can't stand it anymore; he sings like he's in the clouds and doesn't understand what and/or how the judges have told him to change.
ENOUGH ALREADY !!

I wonder if Simon Cowell means it? What a great way to get him off the show...

Oh Simon, I think that Sanjaya will be LONG GONE before that! He'll be eliminated right away if the viewers can attest to last night's terrible performance. He's not anywhere near the other singers. But that's what some of the viewers like--a continuation of the bad auditions from January's shows to be seeped into the top 12. They feel that if former auditioner William Hung did well with his off key singing outside of Idol, so will Sanjaya. They don't like to see 12 very good singers in one setting. He's a good looking young man, but his singing needs serious work afterwards if he's removed. I'm sure he's not paying attention to the outrage and criticism he's gotten the past few weeks. His removal will avoid some embarrassment for the show.

They seem like a pretty mediocre lot this season, but if all it takes to get rid of Simple Simon is a vote for Sanjaya,I'll vote for him. It's probably an empty promise anyway. I mean what's he gonna do, go back to living in his mommy's basement?

It does beg the question, why did you have him in the top 24?

And on the AOL poll last night he was 4th to win it all, now he is 6th. People sicken me.

As far as I can see (hear) the only one worthy of winning is Melinda Dolittle with Lakita(I think I have spelled that correctly) a very close second. Not one guy is worth listening to.

I think Sanjaya doing the hula was the first time I almost vomited watching a TV show. He can't keep time, esp. in a fast song and he holds his notes too long. He screams "I am woman, hear me whispter".

Personally I like Simon. Most of these people(contestants) need a wake up call and he does that. Were he to leave the show wouldn't be worth watching.

Sanjaya is flat out awful. There was at least a dozen singers that would of been better in the top 24. I don't get why anyone votes for him. He's one of the worst ever.

And while we're at it, did anyone think it strange that Simon and Ryan went to Africa together? That's a lot of time in the air and in the same tent. I hope they had quality time together, they have to pretend to be distant and straight when they're on national TV

SIMON IS THE SHOW BECAUSE HE LETS THEM KNOW WHO NEED'S TO IMPROVE AND WHERE AND I PERSONALY WANT THE TRUTH EVEN IF IT HURTS. SANJAY HONEY YOU HAVE NO SOUL AND YOU CAN'T SING NO HARM MENT BUT PLEASE GO HOME AND PUT US OUT OF ARE MISERY.# 12 YOU CAN WIN IF YOU KEEP SINGING LIKE YOU DID LAST NIGHT. BRING YOUR GAME MORE EVERY WEEK THANKS

I agree with Simon, I will quit watching Idol if Sanjaya wins. He needs to go and should have been gone a long time ago. When sundance left last week I was shocked as he should have been at least in the top 6. Simon is good, sometimes a little harsh but usually very accurate. He judges as if it is a singing contest not personality.

i watched the show last night and think they all should have been sent home...simon is totally right it is a singing competition..i enyoyed this show since season one but now they are letting anyone get on...why the tryouts if they let people on who we all know can't sing..this is not a beauty contest..and as far as sanjaya he may be a nice guy but he does not have a singing voice..listening to him just makes me change the channel (thanks to remote controls i can mute him) he needs to be sent home for sure..i don't agree with simon all the time but he is 100% correct on this one...stick to your guns simon...randy step-up, paula keep in touch what the show is about..don't let the veiwers down...tell them contestants the truth..you are too soft..too offen..it is a competition....

Has no one but me noticed Sanjaya's physical/personal resemblance to Michael Jackson? The thin body, the shyness, but certainly not the voice? I too believe his race is keeping him going. Surely every Indian with a cell phone is voting numerous times for him because no American in their right mind would waste a call on his weak performance. Stay with us, Simon, we need your stark, sometimes crude reality. Pobody's nerfect!
