EDMONTON -- The mad hoopla surrounding Sanjaya Malakar's rise as a pop culture phenom has taken a new twist -- an online campaign devoted to ridding American Idol of the 17-year-old singer.
A website known as VoteAgainstTheWorst.com is pushing an elaborate plan to eliminate Malakar by having millions of people place additional votes for the seven other contestants: "If we can spread the word to organize our voting, we just might be able to make this American Idol results show fi lled with a little more integrity. Imagine the joy you'll feel knowing that the right people are going home each week!" The campaign is a direct response to the massive campaign led by shock jock Howard Stern and the website VoteForTheWorst.com that is working to keep Malakar on the hit show, which tops the ratings in both Canada and the United States.
И еще одна:
He is not an American!! It's unfair that he is competing in the contest!! He should be competing in his own country- they have Idol contests all over the world! He should be sent back to his own country to compete!!
Ну очень показательно....
