them an ol' papaya singing mmm' bop would be somthing, not saying good, just somthing. ;)

Raghav Mathur..the other Canadian desi pop star (OK ..semi pop star) is apparently working with Sanjaya and writing a single for him for his new album. Sanjaya's picture is also in Jan 18th issue of People magazine. I must admit, that I am sort of looking forward to his album...as much as I hate teeny bopper pop culture. But .. This is SANJAYA (similar to 'This is Sparta' )

Oh, I must prepare! I’ll need puns, and anecdotes

There was a lad named Sanjaya
Who tried to sing the song "Hallelujah".
Said Simon Cowell,
"It scares me to my bowel.
I'd hate to hear your Kalinka Moya".

Sanjaya walked into a bar, for imbibin'.
"Gimme a pint of Guinness!", he said, all shinin'.
He took a sip and spat:
"This beer is really flat!".
"Well, so's yer voice, but that don't set yer whinin'."

For Super Bowl 43 in 2009,
Sanjaya sang during half time.
Girls openly cried.
Some did confide:
"For wardrobe malfunctions we pine".

We interrupt this blockquote to declare, loved! Loved! Loved!

yes! Yes!! YESSSSS!!!!

Zero, nil, nada, zippo talent. Enough said. Dawg out.

Ok this makes no sense, but I love this advert! :)

There was this comedian named J. Anthony Brown, from the Tom Joyner Morning Show, who does crazy parodies of hit songs, like his recent one, "Michael [Vick], Leave Them Dogs Alone" sung to the tune of "Papa Was A Rolling Stone." I remember last year he did a parody called "Sanjaya, Go Home," sung to the tune of "Volare."

Those Saying that Sanjaya has zippo talent. Come on, boy was 17. How many 17 year old males (girls are different, as their voices do not crack at puberty) do you know that can perform on stage as well as he did in spite of all the criticism. He's no worse than Brittney madonna, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston live. Yes I said Whitney and Mariah, because I have seen both of them in live concert, and both sang more way out of tune than in tune.

PageSix.com has learned that Sanjaya Malakar and his sister Shyamali are in talks to headline their own variety TV series called The Sanjaya and Shyamali Show! The program plans to showcase a special blend of singing, dancing, comedy and, naturally, their lush manes of hair.

I think they should play up the desi angle and their long hair for what it's worth, and hit the road as The Spice Girls. Maybe they should also hire Simon Fuller to see if he can do for these two what he did for that other bunch.

And that makes him talented? Perhaps you should also see Norah Jones and Celine Dion in live concert and then decide who is talented and who is not.

Talent does show whether at 17 or 27. Apart from the hairdo, there was not much to talk about.

Norah jones is not a great vocalist. She may write well and compose nice bluesy stuff, but her vocals are very soft and lack power. Anyways...I never said that sanjaya was a great vocalist, but just not any worse than some of the 'so called talent' out there.

Papaya can so sing, and dance too!

woohoo! maybe his show and the russell peters show will both be on fox, ha!
an american version of the kumars at no. 42 would be faboo! i don't know if sanjaya could do it, but it'd be great to see what they do come up with.

Papaya IS cute. He's a triple threat - singing, dancing, and acting like he can do those 2 things well.

Just kidding.

Seriously, his style and sound is pretty good. He has star quality and talent. Same thing with his sister. I wonder if he will do any desi or desi influenced music since it was once mentioned he studied Indian music briefly. Not sure if it is true or not, though.

If Sanjaya and his sister start a network show, they can be the new Desi version of Donnie and Marie.

You were obviously not there when my brother and I sang in our church no less than 8 million times, much to the joy of my mother. We were crowned the Malayalee D & M, (minus the whole creepy plastered-on grins).

Why couldn't he show some of this soul on AI?

Vic, where did you read this? Last I saw were references on a forum in April or May, referenced
later in a German Wiki and questioned at the Daze fansite. Anything more current than May ? Thanks
for any info.

I heart that show! If the Malakar Hour is anything like that, then I will totally watch.

Papaya....whos seen this ad for a movie coming out which spoofs everthing from pop culture in '07. It shows that character from movie 300, This.IS.Sparta, kick Sanjaya in the "pitofdeath". HILARIOUS!!!!!
