Sanjaya’s 15 Minutes Lasting an Awfully Long Time
Sanjaya’s 15 Minutes Lasting an Awfully Long Time by Roxanne McDonald

Fans have a special name for themselves; devotees have select and very expensive websites for their dreamboat; and everybody who helps to perpetuate this legacy has a new way to capitalize on his, er, fame. |
If you want to become famous—or infamous, even—just come up with some quirky singing style, deliver half-assed performances, and then change your hair alot. If you want to make money on someone doing all of the above and less, get hold of a symbol of his infamy.
First, the Sanjaya fanatics (likely a demographic who has yet to go from crayons to perfume) have formed a club, or at least a coalition: they are the Fanjayas.
Next, Fanjayas have taken up a little corner of the Ebay market with—at my last search—151 Sanjaya items up for auction, including but not limited to the following:
“Vote for Sanjaya” T-shirts, from 7.99 to 10.00
American Idol SANJAYA genuine amethyst & pearl earrings, 7.99
Sanjaya big smile on a silver pendant, 9.99
A lock of Sanjaya’s hair, 2.99
Fanjaya website/domain (fanjaya.com), 2 million bucks.
And finally, somewhere, somehow, there are enough bubble gum poppers voting (which is still beyond me as when I dial in to vote for, say, Melinda or Lakisha, I cannot get one single vote in, never mind a zillion) that the hairdo-changing, song-butchering swoon-inducer is still in the running as American Idol.
Lord, what will become of us?
Of course, if highly intelligent, over-educated scribes like me continue to keep tabs in columns and news briefs, Sanjaya’s flame will stay lit all that much longer….
