Although I’ve never been a die-hard Sanjaya fan, I did like the fact he was on the show, and his voice. The boy can sing. But perhaps most of all, I liked his personality. He was always smiling, never cocky, obviously sensitive, and good natured. Someone I wouldn’t mind my (future) daughter to bring home as a prom date.

Which is why I’m sad he’s no longer on American Idol.
