Searching around the Internet for new and intersting things related to American Idol to complain about, I ran across a link to the audition by Sanjaya Malakar's sister Shyamali Malaker...
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the American Idol judges, in their infinite "wisdom," picked the wrong Malakar kid?
This just goes to prove my point that American Idol is not even about picking the most talented singer or performer in pop music. Obviously, choosing Sanjaya was for the "entertainment value" of having someone with, shall we call them "unique" attributes on the show.
So the obsession with fame for fame's sake and the idolizing of pop music icons, real or imagined, is not even genuine. If you don't believe me, tune in Tuesday night at 8/7 Central to see Sanjaya butcher a country song. He'll probably do "I Wanna Be A Cowboy," or something similarly un-country.

P.S. My sincere condolences go out to those who lost loved ones in the Virginia Tech massacre today and my prayers are lifted for all of those who were affected.
A former co-worker in the Washington, D.C. area lost a best friend to the shooter and a former fellow church member's friend was shot in the stomach and hand.
When will this nation learn that you do not prevent problems by ignoring them or protect potential victims by disarming them? If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google "Virginia House Bill 1572." If only...
