Sanjaya Isn’t Going Anywhere…And That’s Not Such a Bad Thing

Ken Warwick, executive producer of “American Idol” says that he understands the Sanjaya obsession and doesn’t think it is harming the show. He knows that this kid makes good TV and I love that the judges have just given up saying anything negative about him. Warwick realizes there may be some people that turn into Idol just to see how bad Sanjaya really is.

“Well, the fact of the matter is that someone on the show getting attention doesn’t really bother me, obviously, He’s still there [on the show], and one of the key things is to keep people interested and he’s certainly doing that. It’s all about communication with the public you know. There’s something in human nature that makes people gravitate to someone who’s good-looking — it’s nature, for goodness sake.”

Ken knows that the Fanjayas are keeping him in the competition and not to worry about Simon leaving the show if Sanjaya wins.

“America normally gets it right in the end. I don’t think — I’m pretty positive that Sanjaya will not be the “American Idol” this year. Simon’s not going anywhere, don’t worry. There is very little hype anybody can do with the vast number of votes that we get. I think that if every single person that listens to Howard Stern voted, it would still … you know, the gap above and below Sanjaya is so big, that it wouldn’t affect the outcome at all.”

Even though a lot of people think that “Vote for the Worst” and Howard Stern are keeping Sanjaya in the compeition Ken realizes that when you have that many people voting really it depends on who America is choosing. I’m not sure I believe all that after the various voting scandals that have gone on. Sanjaya makes good TV also I know a lot of boys that hope that his hot sister jumps up and down a few more times after he sings. I really hope he takes advantage of that free “KFC Bowls” for life thing. Those things are good
