Sanjayah--Rising Above

I'm ready to get on the Sanjayah bandwagon. Earlier, when better singers got voted off and the judges showed their displeasure that Sanjayah was remaining, I felt sorry for him. He had a hang-dog look, and I felt like he would probably be relieved when he finally got let go.

But the kid has spunk. He's making the best of the situation, milking it for all it's worth. He's not trying to wow the judges with his singing, but playing to the crowd with showmanship. I loved his little dance with Paula last week. And who isn't curious about what he'll do with his hair next? He turned an object of ridicule into a huge asset.

So, I say, "Go Sanjayah! You're caught in forces way beyond your control, and you're making the most of it. I salute your spunk."

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
