He may have been voted off American Idol but Sanjaya Malakar’s time in the spotlight has yet to end.Against the odds, Malakar, 17, made it to the top seven in the US competition.
His singing talent was questionable, but his ever-changing hairdos and unfailing positivity in the face of cutting remarks from the judges, earned him a surprising following.
Beatle-esque scenes unfolded when Malakar appeared on the American Idol stage, with teenage girls screaming and sobbing.
Since being voted off the show on April 18, far from fading, Malakar’s fame has escalated.
On Saturday, he attended a White House correspondents’ dinner in Washington and was approached by Elliot Spitzer, the governor of New York who asked for an autograph.
On Monday, he appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman trailed by a now ever-present pack of paparazzi.
Malakar, who Amercian Idol judge Simon Powell described as “a horrible singer,” said he wants to use his sudden fame to become a singer, actor and model
