Era of Sanjaya-dolatry Sees Sunset

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.
