I would have preferred for Gwen to have sung some of the songs from her first album… ---

Sanjaya’s safe. And Gwen is sounding awful. ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] Wow, that was beautiful. Thank you. My apologies. I shouldn’t have automatically taken the most sensitive interpretation. He did attend a Christian college briefly, but he left it.

A few weeks ago, this result would have shocked me. Now, all I can think is “meh”. Overall, this season’s been disappointing so far. ---

[QUOTE=Omega Glory] Really? I didn’t expect that at all. [/QUOTE] I just had a feeling he would be in big trouble after that performance so I wasn’t that surprised. I would have liked to see him stick around longer but c’est la vie. I really wanted Haley to go home for daring to sing “True Colors”. ---

I don’t watch the show but this Sanjaya fellow certainly seems to be making a name for himself. I can hardly turn a corner at work without hearing people talking about him. I don’t stay tuned into the conversations long enough to hear what’s being said but, what is that saying about there being no such thing as bad publicity? Besides, the show isn’t over yet and he’s already gotten his own [spin-off thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=413022)! Sounds like success to me. ---

This season is making the regular news and news commentary programs now. The apparent efforts to keep Sanjaya in the competition is seen as destroying the show. Many calls are coming in from overseas to keep Sanjaya not so much as to screw the system but to do it “for his people.” Regardless of who wins, it is still up to the record company that signs with the winner whether they would ever release their first album. And since that falls to Simon, who has already expressed his displeasure with Sanjaya, one could surmise that if Sanjaya “wins” the competition, his album either will not get released by the record company or will get released with minimal to no promotion from the company. It’s not personal. It’s business. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Duckster] Many calls are coming in from overseas… [/QUOTE] Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this impossible? The _AI_ toll-free numbers aren’t accessable even from Canada, let alone overseas. As for tonight, meh. Sligh has been losing it…it almost felt like he intentionally blew it. Of course, I’d have much rather seen Haley get booted, but there’s always next week for that.
