Sanjaya Survives, A Single Paula Thrives

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on March 29, 2007 1:39 PM

“American Idol” waved goodbye to another wannabe superstar Wednesday night, as the yellow brick road stopped for Chris Sligh.

But Chris’ crushing news came as no surprise to Sir Simon, who predicted it was “bye-bye curly” before the results were even revealed.

The real “Idol” shocker of the night was instead the survival of Sanjaya, a guy known more for his changing hairstyles than his singing.

But the whole country seems to be falling for Sanjaya, including shock jock Howard Stern; Stern is now mounting a campaign through his Sirius satellite radio station to drive millions of listeners to vote for the “San-Man.”

The Sanjaya craze is also burning up the web on sites like Vote for the Worst and YouTube.

Even Wednesday night’s musical guest Gwen Stefani, who coached the contestants and rocked the “Idol” house, told our Terri Seymour she was blown away by Sanjaya.

“I love him, and I think he’s so cute," Gwen confessed.

In less than two weeks, J Lo mania will strike “Idol,” as she’ll hit the stage with a live performance.

In the meantime, after Wednesday night’s show, “Extra” had the exclusive limo ride home with Judge Paula Abdul.

“The two most vulnerable places to be are in front of a mirror or behind a mic,” Paula admitted. “It's very, very scary and what lies in that fear either is mediocrity or greatness.”

But is Paula finding success with romance?

“Nobody’s called. It’s like cricket…cricket… cricket,” she joked.

Instead, Abdul believes her fame intimidates guys.

“Honestly, I don’t think men should be afraid of me,” she said. “I think I’m nervous and shy. Maybe if I learned to flirt more. Maybe you can help me enroll in how to flirt.”

Paula also schooled us on the secrets behind her amazing body, revealing she’ll skip the gym if she’s too tired.

See which “Idol” America is tired of next week, as “American Idol” returns and another wannabe gets the boot on FOX!

I dont think Paula has anything to worry about, she is a beautiful and talented woman and her knight will come….There are men out there who are not threatened by her talent who would love to give her a night of romance, including me.

Sanjaya must have spent more time on that hair than he did on his vocals, and for good reason too. By now he should be well aware that his strongest support is from people that want American Idol to crash and burn, and now he’s turned himself into a clown; a living mockery of the entire competition.

He obviously doesn’t care that he’s slowly killing the most highly rated television show in TV history. Mark my words, whatever Sanjaya does next week will make March 27th’s hairstyle look tame by comparison. I honestly would not be surprised if he comes out singing “You Touch My Tra-La-La” before his inevitable elimination.

I’m not fond of Sanjaya’s singing, but do remember when he had his auditions. The judges, especially Paula, loved him. She shouldn’t blame him for where he is now on the show…..she put him there in the first place.

I cannot belive that Sanjay is still there for the last 3 years I have been to a show on tour, but I am not sure that I will go this year as it has become a joke if Sanjay continues to stay, when there a MUCH better singers than him there were at least 2 that did not make the final 12 that were far superior a very dissapointed fan of American Idol

Ooh I love Paula! She’s always making fun. I believe that someday Her Prince will come and she’ll be the luckiest woman on earth. She’s amazing and deserves the best. Paula ROCKS!
