Sanjaya Rocks the Ponyhawk

He did it again tonight, didn’t he?

American Idol‘s Sanjaya Malakar sang his own rendition of No Doubt‘s “Bathwater” and sported the FUNKIEST HAIRDO TO DATE — A PONYHAWK! Part-mohawk, part-fauxhawk, part-BEAST!!!!!

  • Randy said, “Dude, I’m speechless. Every time. It’s weird, you got the dog speechless. The hair is definitely interesting. I like the kinda mohawk look. At the end of the song, you sang that one long note at the end and you sang a little run. You actually can sing if you just put it out there.”
  • Paula said, “If you had the gumption. If you had the ability to totally go for it, it would fit the wackiness of the fauxhawk. To watch you on stage and not go for it, we’re kinda like come on, you can do it.
  • Simon said, “I presume there was no mirror in your dressing room tonight. I don’t think it matters anymore what we say. I genuinely don’t. You’re in your own universe and if people like you, then good luck.”

And in response to Simon‘s comment regarding his ponyhawk, Sanjaya quipped, “You’re just jealous you couldn’t put it off.”

Sanjaya Malakar Makes Little Girl Cry

Any Fanjayas in the house?

American Idol‘s Sanjaya Malakar rendition of The Kinks‘ “You Really Got Me Now” moved a poor little girl Ashley Ferl, 13, from the audience to tears. TEARS!

  • Randy said, “You shocked me tonight. Usually, you’re this reserved, mild, meek, very cool guy. You came out of your shell. That was your best performance to date.”
  • Paula said, “That’s what we’ve been waiting for. Go for it. You went for it. It was a lot of fun.”
  • Simon said, “I think the little girl’s face says it all.” (points to little girl crying)

After the judges’ comments, Sanjaya and Ashley hug it out. Maybe the two of them will hula into the sunset together.

Did Sanjaya Malakar‘s performance move you to tears too?
