Blake Lewis on Sanjaya: ‘I Was Never a Fan’

March 31, 2008

He may not have walked away with the American Idol title — but few who watched last season will forget Sanjaya Malakar. Turns out, castmate Blake Lewis didn’t even want the aspiring singer on the show. “I was never a fan of Sanjaya,” Lewis says in a new interview with a Jacksonville, Fla.-area radio station. In the interview (which you can hear above), the Idol runner-up says that Malakar made for “terrible television” and even reveals that he was initially cut from the show.

Tell us: Do you agree with Blake’s comments about Sanjaya?

Ironic since Blake kept a far more talented singer, Melinda, from making the finals. He’s a jerk and a tool and should learn to keep his mouth shut.

Yes I wholly agree with Blake! Sanjaya was a terrible singer and performer, and he just annoyed me every week. He wasn’t even funny / charming / good looking! I don’t understand why ANYONE voted for him!

I didn’t like Sanjaya either, but Blake doesn’t need to start trash talking. It makes him seem pathetic and insecure.
It’s retarded.

Trash talking another contestant is not cool, Blake. It makes you smaller than you already are.

Personally,Blake makes noises with his mouth which in my opinon,does not compare..to the beautiful singing ability of Sanjaya.The Am Idol music director said Sanjaya had a wonderful voice and thought he might win.So did Tony Bennett who is a professional Icon.,as well as J.LO,Diana Ross, Peter Noone,Kelly Clarkson,etc.etc.etc.Where did you cruel, comments naysayers get your credible training to judge?
To say the cruel things Blake said ,especially after the fact,things that can never be taken back because its in print…makes one think Blake is very insecure and desperate!
