Another thought, at least Sanjaya is very unique. He's not trying to be a Justin Timberlake wannabe like Chris. And Chris from last year, he always sounded like Nickelback. I know Chris is hot on the charts now, but will he still be around 5 years from now?

It's a matter of taste. I personally like Sanjaya a lot more then Chris who went home. That lisp when he sang and the nasal quality to his sound really did not appeal to me. While Sanjaya isn't the most talented singer he has a presence about him that some of the others do not. Once again, preference. It's like someone said above about the guest singer tonight. I thought she did NOT pull off black hose and white pumps. Thought she looked horrid and was very glad when she stopped singing. Then again I am almost 40 years old and tend towards a different genre of music.

Sanjaya knows he is not the best singer out there...so I give him Kudo's for trying to find a schtick and going for it...What do you all expect him to do? Should he say hey, I like Chris S. or gosh they are better singers than I, so I should just quit this gig and pack it up??? He can't do that. So while he knows he is barely treading water, he is trying to find an angle...good for him!!!

They can fix this any time they want by limiting the number of votes from each phone number. Since they choose not to do that, we will continue to see inequities in how contestants are voted off. Even Peter Noone said it was a voting contest not a singing contest.

Nobody is doing him any favors by keeping him on. It's just setting him up for humiliation and possible nervous breakdown when he finds out the only reason he lasted this long is because of "Vote for the Worst". He's in over his head and drowning

I do think, in listening to his interviews, Sanjaya really believes that he will win AI.

I'd rather watch Sanjaya perform than either Chris. At least I get some fun and entertainment out of Sanjaya's performances. I don't get any fun out of either of the Chris' performances and IMO they are average singers. Plus I don't feel sorry for Sanjaya. Though it may be hard for some of you here to believe, he has plenty of real fans that will give him lots of support if he feels at all bad about VFTW. I just wish that Jordin could get some more support.

I don't think Sanjaya is the best singer...but I don't think there is any humiliation in what he is doing. On the contrary... he is making the best of what he has. I would be disappointed if he just gave up... SO knowing that he is not the best, he keeps on trying...

I'm beginning to hope he does win it. Maybe then they will finally make some much needed changes. Plus, I mean really, it's always been a popularity contest...this season is just pointing it out more than others. If it was about singing...Sean Michel would have made it, along with about 20 other really good singers.

I just wish people could enjoy Sanjaya on youtube.. As for Gwen Stefani, I think she's adorable! And I'm way older than 40.

Well, of course it is. There are a lot of very successful performers out there who can't sing all that well, but are still popular. This isn't called American Idol, and not American Singer, for nothing. The person who generates enough votes, regardless of VFTW, is the one most likely to have high record sales. And that's what Idol is all about, finding someone who will sell records, not someone who is the best singer. That said, I think for the most part (with the exception of season three -- Fantasia was great, although not my cup of tea, but I never understood the appeal of Diana or Jasmine), the best singers have ended up in the top two or three, especially last year. Yes, I think some better singers went before others I though sucked, but still the cream definitely rose to the top each year.

According to Ricky (the guy who always puts out the correct spoilers every week), this is the exact order they came in according to vote totals. 1. Melinda 2. Blake 3. Lakisha 4. Sanjaya 5. Chris. R 6. Gina 7. Jordin 8. Phil 9. Haley 10. Chris S.

Prisonerno6 is correct about the cream. I've said many times, who cares what order they go in, as long as the top 2 or 3 are the best. By this time next year we will be calling Sanjaya "the kid with the changing hair" because we won't remember his name. But I do have a question. If Sanjaya does win, what hair style do you think they will use in the opening credits, when they show the past winners as part of the graphics?

Can you imagine if Melinda, Jordin or Lekesha were voted off before Sanjaya? That's always my fear when Vote for the Worst gets on a roll...and now with that Howard Stern business. Shudder! Hopefully the cream will continue to rise.

I don't know about anyone else, but I lost interest in AI this season. If Sanjaya finally gets kicked off, then I might be able to catch new interest, but as of the last two weeks, I just can't get into it. Which is disappointing.
