His name has become a household word, but now the best thing to happen to television in years (for me, not so much for many others, apparently) has been kicked off American Idol.
Sanjaya Malakar's unprecedented and glorious run on the biggest TV show in the world has finally come to an end.
American Idol fans, you have your show back.
And I could not be less interested in how it turns out.
A five-pack on the would-be star:
5. Don't be mad at Sanjaya. Aren't you always telling your kids that all you're asking is that they try their best? He likes his parents, he tries hard, he's good to others. This should be your kid's role model.
4. Sanjaya was raked over the coals for apparently being a sub-par singer in what essentially is a singing competition. Since when is a good singing voice a pre-requisite for joining the music industry? Neil Young wouldn't win American Idol and he's done OK for himself.
3. If you want someone to blame for Sanjaya ruining your show, blame the guy who canceled The Gong Show in 1980. There should never have been a talent contest by any other name.
2. Do those who wanted the kid off the show also want Gabe to stop dancing? I hope not.
1. I'm going to start growing my hair and go as Sanjaya for Halloween. That's a mark of your impact on popular culture. How many other Idol contestants could be a Halloween costume? None. That means the biggest star didn't win.
