Though I've only seen clips on Talk Soup, I think I'm a Sanjaya fan. He's helped usher two neologisms into the U.S. lexicon so far—"Fanjaya" and "faux-hawk"—and defies before millions the myth of talent that underwrites the middlebrow notion of the arts. His father is also a classical Indian musician, or so says Sanjaya; just wanting to say that's a plus with me.
I found this poem under the "Sanjaya Fun Facts" section of his fan site. Prosodically it kicks Jewel's heine.

Sanjaya's friends never get surprised by his musical choices.
Sanjaya claims that one of his other talents is Culinary Arts.

If Sanjaya does not win American Idol, he will continue his career in the music business.

Hear about Paula Abdul complaining about her coach service?
A number of fellow passengers heard the exchange, and one shouted at her: “You’re no Sanjaya! You have to board like everyone else.” That, according to the source, prompted a round of laughter from the others — except Abdul.
Abdul Tries Diva Trip
The pabdul thing is even funnier now that it came right before Sanjaya's ixnay.
