Idol winner a big fan of Malakar

"Move over, Justin Timberlake! Forget it, John Mayer! Who needs you guys when we have the invincible Sanjaya Malakar, the charismatic American Idol finalist? Even Jordin Sparks is a big fan.
The American Idol Season 8 champion told the Associated Press one of her favourite male vocalists is the much-maligned Bengali-American boy wonder.
'He had so much guts,' she says. 'He had so much strength. He got a lot of criticism, but for him to go out on that stage and hold his head high ... I really look up to him for that. He's just an amazing kid.'"
