Tessa's Sanjaya Mohawk



Everybody's hatin' on American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar, but you gotta admit the hair is happening!! Last night, he sported a fab faux mohawk. I wanted badly to copy the 'do, but my hair is too long. So, I did the next-best thing. I gave Tessa the Sanjaya hairdo. Before anyone calls DFACS, she really did want me to do it and likes it, so this doesn't qualify as child abuse.

I think it is really ironic that the "judges" on a show called American Idol are so distraught that Sanjaya is still on the show. Sanjaya is the very definition of teen idol. A nice, non-threatening, good-looking guy who appeals to pre-teens. His voice isn't the greatest, but he's no William Hung. I actually think he can sing if he would put some more power behind his vocals. When he sang a capella for his audition, I actually thought he was pretty good. I think his voice gets lost behind the big band and back-up singers. Maybe he can get his mojo back. And if his voice isn't the greatest . . . well, that didn't stop Shaun Cassidy, my pre-teen idol back in the day.

Sanjaya seems like a nice kid. I hope he doesn't let the haters get to him like young John Stevens did a few seasons back. I felt so sorry for that kid; he once even apologized for still being on the show when people got mad that "better" singers were voted out and he was still there. He's probably in therapy now. I was hoping Sanjaya would get voted out a few weeks ago because I didn't want him to be traumatized by all the hate -- he's only 17, after all. But, he seems to be taking it in stride and having fun with it. And I do want to see him stay on the show, so long as he keeps the funky haridos coming.

She's stylin' and profilin'. Well, she was until her hair started falling down after lunch. If I'd gelled and sprayed it real stiff, it would've looked better and stayed up better, but I didn't want to put all that gunk in her fragile little hair.
