Fast forward to May 2007...Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles...American Idol Finale...Ryan Seacrest with the microphone..."Ladies and gentlemen, your American Idol Season 6 winner is...Sanjaya Malakar!!!"
As I awake from this nightmare I realize that if everything keeps going at its current rate, it would be very possible for this to become a reality. Sanjaya Malakar is a seventeen year old contestant on American Idol with a huge smile, very strange hair, and a knack for bringing 12 year old girls to tears. His only downfall? He flat out can't sing.
So why is he still in the contest? Some people say simply that millions of young girls love Sanajay and that they vote for him each week. However, other groups are also taking credit. Votefortheworst.com is a website that encourages viewers to do just that: vote for the worst singer each week. This year they have chosen Sanjaya as the worst singer and want to see him win to spite the creators of American Idol. Also jumping on the "vote for Sanjaya" bandwagon is Rock Jock Howard Stern (not Anna Nicole's Stern, the other one). Stern has said that his goal is to destroy American Idol.
Idol continues to pulverize the competition in terms of ratings. It appears that more and more viewers are now tuning in just to see if Malakar will survive another week. What has all this Idol hype done for CKX, Inc? Nothing...just yet. CKX's stock price is currently $11.10, down over two dollars from the start of this blog. Aren't you glad we didn't mortgage the house at the start of the season?
