Sanjaya Malakar and Other Annoying Things
Welcome to Monday! If this is your first time at FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com, you might not know that we like to get down with all things bedicked on days like today. In the past, we’ve gathered around the FBC Virtual Water Cooler (um, that’s the comments section) to talk about circumcision, men who wear thongs, and all other kinds of testosterone-driven topics. Check out the Manly Mondays Vault for details. Okay, so, now that we’re all on the same page … It’s time for today’s Manly Monday pick.
I’ll start us off by saying this: I’m not really much of a television watcher. I kicked the box several years ago, and I returned to the habit of watching TV only recently. So, needless to say, I haven’t really been following the life and times of American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar. However, unfortunately, he’s almost completely unavoidable at this point. The hunger strike on MySpace? The faux hawk? The little Ferl who cried? You name it. Stories about this guy are everywhere!
It’s so easy to hate this guy because, you know, he’s annoying. But, on the other hand, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I find him to be slightly endearing. In TV-land, where everyone seems to be a carbon copy of someone else, it’s kind of refreshing to see someone whose a little bit different … even if he is kind of nutty. So, to keep things as light and fluffy as Sanjaya Malakar’s beautiful hair, feel free to use the comment section to rant or rave about him.

I don’t find Sanjaya appealing at all. I find him shaggy rather than sexy – and I tend to like long hair on a dude – and he does NOT sing well.
“But Christy, how would he still be on the show if it can’t sing?”
This is how.

I’m not a Sanjaya FAN per se but I do have a sneaky votefortheworst type sympathy with him. Plus he seems a nice enough guy, even if a bit strange. And I have to admit I LOVE the hair! It’s so shiny!
I can’t quite bring myself to root for anyone this season as they all leave me rather cold, a far cry from last year’s Chris Daughtry who was so awesome *drool*. So hey it’d be cool to see someone strange like Sanjaya win!

When it comes to hot guys, I can say I guy is hot when his hair is not as shinny and beautiful than mine.. c’mon, that’s our field of expertise!

MamaChristy: THANKS for the link!! Hadn’t seen that one.
Darwin: He *is* the “worst” guy, kind of. It’s like that show Cupid from a few years back. There was this crazy Austrian guy named Robert. It was CLEAR that the girl didn’t like him and, not to mention, he was completely nutty. But, still, people kept voting for him so that he’d stay on the show. I think he made it to the finals.
melo: I *LOVE* America’s Next Top Model!!! :) See, this is *exactly* why I gave up watching TV for so long. I have no control. I get hooked on really bad reality TV fairly easily.
Nat: I’m not a fan of men with long hair but, oddly enough, I actually like Sanjaya’s hair.

I have this sneaking suspicion that Americans are taking all the anxiety, anger and frustration they’ve been holding in since 2001 and directing it toward Sanjaya. But he deserves it, so screw ‘im.
I’ve got my money on Haley Scarnato for the next American Idol. Why? Well, because she’s pretty but not threateningly sexual. Yes, I mention her looks first because it’s not really her voice that’s going to take her to the top. She’s got the makings of a bland pop star who will sell one or two inoffensive albums then fade into obscurity.
Most importantly, she knows exactly how to market her sexuality. Remember how she went bra-less during ’60s Week? And then responded to Seacrest with a wide-eyed, faux-innocent “Who? Little ol’ me?” when Seacrest made a sly reference to her lack of support?
Haley Scarnato for the win. And, yeah, I know I’m putting myself out there on a limb since she was bottom two last week.

Can’t disagree with you there. You may be on to something …
