Thank god Jared got clear shot sof this thing. Each week this Sanjaya kid amazes everyone by not getting kicked off of the AI panel. Beth O, girlfriend of Howard Stern (the radio jockey), said yesterday, on The View, that Howard pleads each week with his listeners to vote for the tone deaf muppet so that he stays on. So he's got that goin' for him. Which is nice.

And the judges take on it?

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."
