Sanjaya Malakar
American Idol Season 6 Contestant
Sanjaya Malakar Profile
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.

What's next for Sanjaya Malakar?


American Idol Season 6 has become the most controversial of all time because of their most talked contestant Sanjaya. People were now asking what will happen to Sanjaya's career then.

"I'm definitely looking at a music career, but I also want to venture into acting, modeling and Broadway."

But music industry said:
"His voice is too whispery."
"A quickie recording and a funny, self-referential clip for YouTube seem like naturals,"
"He has that androgynous personality that makes him appealing, but he needs a role that complements that if he were to go on television or stage."

Sanjaya to join White House Dinner


Even if Sanjaya was voted off on American Idol, he was still invited to join People's delegation to the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner and he's with his mom.

Upon being eliminated, Malakar was asked what it was like to have his name bantered about by presidential candidates.

"It's really interesting because... I had no idea really how much impact this show had," Malakar told reporters during a Thursday conference call. "I think it's really interesting that someone like me, a 17-year-old Seattle boy, could have so much impact as to get into the presidential debate."

Sanjaya finally bid goodbye to American Idol...


"I'm fine," he told Ryan Seacrest. "It was an amazing experience."

"I can promise you: We won't soon forget you," Seacrest replied.

Malakar then performed for the TV audience one last time, singing "Something To Talk About."

On Tuesday night's show, Simon Cowell had slammed his performance as "utterly horrendous." And for once, the notoriously mean judge was vindicated.

"I'm beginning to sense something here," a grinning Cowell said when Malakar wound up in the bottom three.

American Idol Mock: Sanjaya Malakar ‘Maxim Girl of the Day’


Sanjaya Malakar has been mocked and has been dubbed the ‘Maxim Girl of the Day’.

Maxim.com reports - "With his ridiculous hairstyles, we've no one but the Devil's lawyer to blame for this androgynous American Idol stowaway who, despite being detested by the judges, somehow remains in the hunt for the show's coveted prize as this year's top 40 footnote."

Adding: "We stopped watching after the auditions (the only digestible part of the show), but it's our understanding that we have Sanjaya to thank for the "ponyhawk," a hair-novation destined to tickle your underarm as you noogie hordes of copycat hipsters."
