J-Lo to Adopt…Sanjaya?!

Only “Extra” is going one on one with the one and only Sanjaya!

Our Terri Seymour sat down with the mane man to find out what’s up with the world’s most watched locks.

“My favorite was definitely when I sang Besame Mucho…minus all the oil [in my hair],” he revealed.

On Friday, Sanjaya was also singing guest mentor Jennifer Lopez’s praises: “She really cared, she really wanted to help us.”

As for J Lo’s husband Marc Anthony’s admission that he wants to adopt Sanjaya, the “Idol” wannabe couldn’t find words for the offer.

“I don't know… I was like, ‘Sure.’ I mean, I’ve never been offered to be adopted,” he said.

Now that his “A.I.” days are over, Sanjaya is getting his first taste of fame from “The Tonight Show.”

Jack Black, who was the guest star alongside the lovable singer, revealed, “You had a great ride, Sanjaya!”

And this weekend, Sanjaya will travel to the White House Correspondent’s dinner… where he could meet President Bush!

So what will he say to GW?

“I don’t know! I’ve never met a president; I don’t know what you say to them!” Sanjaya said.

But before he begins his famous new lifestyle, Sanjay is sending a message to his famous number one fan, Ashley.

“Hi Ashley, I’m glad that I got to meet you and don’t cry… it’s okay!” he said.

However, her tears flowed again when we delivered his message today!

“I just love everything about him,” Ashley said through tears.

Now it’s down to the spectacular six and a historic week as “Idol Gives Back,” the hit show’s campaign to help children around the globe.

Only “Extra” has been with Simon every step of the way, from Terri’s video diary in Africa to an L.A. food bank, which will also benefit from next week’s star-studded event.

“For a dollar donated on this show, you get $20 of a full bag of groceries, which will feed one of these families,” Simon said.

I like Sanjaya and all and it was sad to see him go but he just wasn’t the best singer on the show. He should go onto a smaller talent show, just not American Idol, maybe entertainment or anything but singing!!!!!! He is good just not the best!?!?!? Sorry to all the Fanjaya’s though! Sanjaya rocks!

Enough already. he is a snob (by saying he is a well known person now, so he needs a bodyguard),ugly looking guy & bad voice with a weird hair. I cannot believe he is going this far already. Extra should air the “real” talented person not a clown like sanjaya..he cannot even sing!

I thought Sanjaya was cute and very polite. I don’t think his voice was great, but he didn’t sing as bad as people made it out to be. He knows how to work that camera and has such a bright and beautiful smile.

Life is negative as it is, why don’t we try to find the good and positive things in people. Sanjaya did the best he could and we need to just give him credit. It takes courage to go on American Idol and perform under those pressures. “You go Sanjaya! I thought you did great and you will move on and do better things for yourself”.

HI Seatlle Girl, Nancy and Bellevue, I agree I don’t want to watch anymore now Sanjaya is gone!
Great Kid. An example for all of humanbeing. People like Simon just cannot cope with people like Sanjaya because they are so heartless!!!
Great to see that so many americans are opf a better quality then Simon!
Go Sanjaya, we will al buy your CD’s.

i am a fan of sanjaya.. i love to watch american idol because of him. he may not have a powerful voice but he can entertain and make people happy. i believe american idol should be somebody who can be a role model, has the star quality and can sing. we do have a lot of famous singers that doesn’t have a good quality voice. an example (no offense meant) Paula Abdul, american idol judge…

i know i would see / hear a lot of sanjaya….

I had never voted for any one on American Idol, but this season, I voted for Sanjaya Malakar. He has the star quality that draws people in. He, a seventeen year old boy from Seattle, Washington, took all the humiliation and slams that the media threw on him in stride. Sanjaya is a true sport and a STAR.

I LOVE SANJAYA!!! I hope he gets a good agent and capitalizes on his success because right now, he has got an immense fanbase! The kid is pretty marketable. Wishing him all the best for the future.

He’s so adorable! He’s like a little puppy. I just want to scoop him up and give him a big hug. What a sweet kid. You can tell his mama raised him right.

I hope he gets a Disney or Nickelodean show out of this. Or some pilot on the CW. My children love him.
