Fame is definitely not only for those who wins a competition as another Idol set off his career in singing after his cast off in American Idol. Sanjaya Malakar, a 17-year-old male whose passion in singing brought him in Hollywood. He came from a musical family because his Bengali Indian father is a classical Indian musician while his mother is an Italian American. He has two other siblings named Shyamali, who also auditioned for the contest but sent off at the end of the round and a
younger brother. This guy was typically recognized because of his hairstyle everytime he performs on stage. Even the American Idol host Ryan Seacrest came out the next day and imitated his fauxhawk hairstyle, which was his hairdo during one of his performance. Sanjaya was one of the best things that ever happened to the history of American Idol, a reason why Simon Cowell misses him even though the
eminent judge has problems regarding Sanjaya’s vocals. After his Idol career, Sanjaya attended several affairs such as a White House correspondent’s dinner in Washington D.C and even appeared on talk shows like CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman and on Live with Regis and Kelly. Within a few weeks of performing and being “boring” as Cowell commented, Sanjaya now is busy giving autographs in his own fans.

Sanjaya was able to finally meet President Bush. "It's been really a whirlwind. I've just been trying to ride the wave and go one day at a time," said Malakar, wearing a dark pinstriped suit and highlighted, loose curls. The swooning fans made him "a little uncomfortable," he admitted. But it's attention he may have to get used to as he sets his sights on a future beyond music. "I want to go into acting or modeling, maybe Broadway," said the former Idol, who thinks doing a hair commercial "Would be awesome!" Posted on 23 Apr 2007 by Neo

Not being a country singer took a toll on me...
 "Like, for example, LaKisha, she's not necessarily a country singer either, but she had enough strong performances to get her though - and I don't think I did."w "I think I've learned not to let any negativity get you - just to keeping on trucking, I guess," he said. "And try to find the positive in everything." "From the beginning I think that Simon saw potential in me, and when I didn't fulfil that potential, he was kind of disappointed," he said. "So I just want to say to him that he's an amazing person, and what he does is awesome. He's very opinionated, but I learned more from him than anyone else while I was on the show."
