Everyone seems to forget Sanjaya was voted in by the judges

Everyone seems to forget that Sanjaya was in the top 24 because of the judges vote. Sanjaya hasnt changed the way he sings but why now that he is in top 24 to top 12 none of the judges seem to give him any positive feedback. Granted that he did not perform up to par with the rest but why did the judges got him through in the 1st place? isnt it irony? Did the judges messed up? or is this one of the many ploys that AI use to push rating up?

Its like he is afraid to use his voice and sing. He did sound better during audition, maybe he is sad and not doing too great because his sister didn't make it.

I think the judges have to have personal talk with him.

That is true about the judges pushing him through. I don't remember how he was in the very start when they did groups and that other stuff,but they did put him through. I just don't like him.

He went to the audition with his sister. However in my opinion her sister was better. But the judges said he was better and got thru. They didnt show his hollywood performance and I dont know how good he was then.

His audition was ten times better than his singing in the finals has been. He really has gone downhill, and I'm not sure why. He really isn't living up to his audition and he doesn't deserve positive feedback any longer. I don't know what happened, but his singing has gone seriously south now that he's on the show. I don't blame the judges for not giving him positive feedback.

There is a big difference between the top 24 and the top 12. Sanjaya has a good voice but at this point he needs to have more than that. He needs to be able to project and perform. He is just too green. He needs to mature some more, but right now he is not even close to being good enough to stay. Plus he has not even come close to sounding as good as he did early on.

At the end of the day, like Noone said this is not a singing competition but a voting competition. Guess sometimes when one managed to capture the heart of voters, it really doesnt matter to them unless they really cant sing a tune. Sanjaya isnt that case, isn't it?

I think its irony and a ploy-- I think Sanjaya is terrible-- I mean sure he sings better than me-- But he is no where near as good as the others in the competition.. I just hope that soon he will be ousted-- But then again with the Vote the Worst website-- He might have a chance to stay in for the long haul! Yikes! Every season America complains about someone-- This year it is Sanjaya- I couldn't believe that Chris Richardson was in bottom 2 last week-- He is my Fave! I better start voting!

When performing by himself he seemed to be ok, even in the early Hollywood era he was ok. But now that he is up against the real deals (supposedly, I will state here that this season is not living up to normal standards) he is showing he just shouldn't be there.
