Idol Mania

The American Idol finalists took the stage at the Pepsi Grandstand and fans couldn't be more excited.  I can't bring you their hours-long performance, but I can offer a little one-on-one conversation with a few of the finalists.

Thank you for sharing your interviews.
They were really nice and I especially enjoyed
Sanjaya.

I can hardly wait to see the his new and individual music...a mix of Jazz & rock &R&B.

I know I will love Sanjaya's Cd as I have enjoyed listening to everything he has sang. He has the most beautiful and unique voice and such charm that comes through.

No one could be more deserving of success in the entertainment world after all this young man and gracefully endured for his dream, his love, and deep passion for music. I know Sanjaya and Shyamali will be outstanding in anything they pursue.

I loved, loved, loved your interviews with Melinda and Phil. Good job!

I thought that you sounded biased against Sanjaya, but that's a popular mindset, I guess. I hope that he'll prove naysayers wrong in the long run, but we'll see.

Thanks for your input Misselecta. But, to be honest, I really didn't know much about Sanjaya until right before my interview with him. So... I can honestly say I approached the interview with absolutely no bias. Perhaps you read too much into the interview?

Wow, you girls are talking! So Laura is it you Phil and Melinda and Sanjaya fan? Welcome to the club!

Dear Philindajaya Fan,

I am soooo sorry I got in a hurry and wrote not what I meant. I meant you sounded unbiased towards Sanjaya...that is why I complimented you and thanked you for such a good interview :) even though many have gone into their interview with bias against him in their interviews.

So I was thrilled to hear such a nice interview you did. Sorry, I get so excited sometimes and write without double checking what I wrote. I wanted to hurry back and tell everyone at Sanjaya fansite, the Dazeoffire to let everyone know how wonderful an interview you did :)which I did.

Again, I want to thank you so much for your wonderful and unbiased interview! You spoke to everyone equally nice :)
