I've been a fan of American Idol since the first season, and even though my choices were not always the ones selected I always had respect for the show. UNTIL THIS YEAR! I have absolutely no idea how Sanjaya even made it to Hollywood -- much less how in the world he's still in the running! I can't even bring myself to watch him perform because I'm so embarrassed for him! It's such a shame that his very presence is ruining the credibility of what was a very reputable show! I realize the vote is in the hand of the American public, and trust me I DO cast my votes, but I agree that something should be done about this from within -- the producers, the judges, SOMEONE should stop this insanity before it causes irreparable damage to the integrity of AI!
