When George Parker tipped us off that Sanjaya’s overripe moment in the sun was finally over, we almost cried. We really did.
As of Tuesday’s American Idol, Project: Torment the Less Tressy ended with a bang (that “…other than hair” ad-lib in his rendition of “Something to Talk About”) and a whimper (his, when finally the die was cast).
He made us laugh and snarl, he appalled us and gave us a never-before-experienced sense of pop culture woe, fear and even – occasionally – sick pride.
Like (the possibly plastic) Ryan Seacrest, we too will not soon forget you, Sanjaya Malakar.
