There is no doubt that Sanjaya is getting some press. Simon has become so frustrated that he doesn’t know what to do. Now, the executive producers have even started weighing in on the situation.

“There is very little hype anybody can do to affect the vast numbers of votes we get. The fact of the matter is, if someone on the show is getting attention, it really doesn’t bother me. He’s still there, and a lot about this business is keeping people interested. Say what you want about Sanjaya, he hasn’t a bad voice. Personally, I don’t expect him to be there in the end. But it’s not up to me, it’s up to the public.”

- Ken Warwick (American Idol executive producer) talking about Sanjaya

Well to you Mr. Warwick I say “we’ll see you in the finals.” People, we are truly making an impact. But we must not lose our resolve. They are very scared about how much we are able to impact the results as that is why we’ve got to keep on truckin.
