Music Wire: You haven't seen the last of Sanjaya Malakar

-NOEL GESSNER Make no mistake about it. I am no fan of Sanjaya Malakar, but we haven't seen the last of him and getting the boot from AI last night is only the beginning of the Sanjayanization of America. Here is a kid who held on for so long due to one thing and one thing only, his hair and looks. OK two things. So what’s next for the skinny kid from Federal Way WA.? How about a record deal for the hell of it? Believe it or not there are young girls and boys out there who would buy a Sanjaya Malakar album, see a Sanjaya Malakar movie and buy Sanjaya Malakar hair products. A perfect fit for this kid would be within the Disney stable, but due to what we're sure is an iron clad contract, Sanjaya may be in the AI, 19 Entertainment circle for a while. There is no denying it, that face could sell some products and there is someone on the side lines waiting to slide in and make it happen. Hey, he could give Disney superstar Corbin Bleu, a run for his money. So for all those who are rejoicing, hold the celebrations? The Sanjayanization of America started last night.
