Loved that line during “Stuck In The Middle With You”…because it was almost like the performance arrangers knew he wasn’t going home, but wanted to give us all some hope that he would.

Having said that…when Sundance Head is sent home because 17-year old girls around America seem to find something attractive about Sanjaya…you know I will chime in. I’m not Sundance’s biggest fan, and I’m sure Sanjaya is a perfectly nice kid but to quote, well, everyone…American Idol is a singing competition (no, really…I swear it is), and that kid just can’t sing. He wasn’t bad in the auditions but somewhere over the past few weeks, he’s ironed his hair and turned into a hula dancing Michael Jackson. I just can’t see that selling out concert venues.

When reliving Great Moments In American Idol History though, Sanjaya joins a long list of finalists (I was going to use the term “performers”, but that wasn’t entirely accurate) who made me scratch my head so hard and so often, I’m surprised I didn’t break skin.

For example…Anthony Federov, John Stevens and Kevin Covais…just to name a few.

Reminds me of that old Margaret Cho joke…about how women always travel in groups of three: “There’s the smart one, the pretty one…and then there’s the ho. Look around…which one are you?” America…we have your 12 finalists…the Great Ones, the Yellers…and then there are the Head Scratchers. I couldn’t use the “ho” reference, since Antonella Barba went home last night. Oh…snap!

And…speaking of head scratchers…why on Earth are Phil Stacey and his wacky sidekick, Knitted Cap, still around?
