Sanjaya Malakar the Anti-Idol

Say goodbye to any credibility the American Idol franchise has had with regard to its democratically chosen winners.

Sanjaya Malakar and the maelstrom of controversy (and outright false-voting) surrounding him is going to RUIN any credibility the American Idol franchise has with regard to its democratically chosen winners. How could the American public stand such a bad singer week after week? Answer: it can't. The false-voting going on to keep him on TV is making a mockery of American Idol.

Even Simon Cowell said he would quit the show if Malakar won. I don't blame him. If he even gets into the final three, I'll never watch the show again.

American Idol should institute technological blocks that prevent any household from registering more than, say, three votes for any one contestant in one evening. That would level the playing field.
