Sanjaya's New Book
Sanjaya is best known for his impressive hairstyles and screaming young fans also known as Fanjayas, Sanjaya Malakar quickly became a popular american idol contestant and “the people’s idol.”
His unique style and ingenious song selections made him a media fixture and led to a huge and devoted fanbase that still remains today. Malakar finished seventh on American Idol’s 2006 season.

- pointers and inspiration from musical mentors Diana Ross and Jennifer Lopez
- the ponyhawk: did consecutive ponytails save him from elimination?
- “J” the anti-fan who went on a sixteen day hunger strike to vote Sanjaya off
