For some reason and I'm shocked too, Sanjaya has made the top ten on Idol and Stephanie went home last night (even more shocking - should not have happened!). So, now the predictable anti-Sanjaya sentiment will become even more popular ahead of next week.

I don't think he's the best singer of the group either; but hey, let's get some perspective here.  The format of the show is the fans pick the winners.  I'd like it for the judges to pick them but it's not gonna happen. So, having said that, some people out there want Sanjaya around (for some reason.... hopefully there are legitimate reasons).  Sanjaya has played by the rules, has worked hard, hasn't cheated and/or been in controversies (outside of this one!) so give him a break.  He's 17, I believe, and will get better as he gets older so give the kid a break.  I also believe the people out there campaigning for Sanjaya to go should get a life.  There are far, far more important causes to 'campaign' for than this, a TV show.

Having said all of this, I'm sick (almost) that Steph had to leave and that Chris Robinson was up there as well.  With this logic, Melinda Doolittle will be voted out next and that would be a total outrage.  The girl can sing and she's the best one up there.  I just hope every Idol fan would vote for the singer that they think are best, not who others tell them to vote for.
