I heard two things again about Sanjaya Malakar and American Idol from a radio DJ who commented on how he did not think Sanjaya could sing but he was starting to like him because he made him laugh. The other item he mentioned was the fact that those that made it into the top ten would be on the American Idol tour. This is major and probably a big disappointment for Stephanie Edwards. It might actually be a relief for Stephanie because now she can pursue her own career. What do you think of Sanjaya?

Much has been discussed and written about the contract that the American Idol contestants must enter into. Do they get released if they do not make the top ten? The contract is alleged to be very one sided favoring producers of the show. They are making an unbelievable amount of money on the show and then on the artists. Do any of our readers know anything about the contract they sign? Please share.

Plans are under way to help give some of that money back. “Idol Gives Back” will benefit young people in need from Africa and Ameica. This two night fund raiser on April 24 and April 25 will feature Gwen Stefani, Josh Groban, Pink, Michael Bublé, Annie Lennox, Il Divo and Borat Sagdiyev among many world-renowned artists. I would like to see them make the American Idol for Kids Program available to underprivileged kids.

Did you ever wonder what some of the contestants look like when they were young? Well People Magazine will answer that question in the next issue. You can find out right now: American Idol Baby Pictures. Can you guess who they are?   American Idol Contestants Baby Pictures

Tonight’s show will have Gwen Stefani coaching the contestants and is scheduled to run seven minutes longer due to all the content that they needed to put in. Or was that all the ads? We may lose Sanjaya on this round.
