Wednesday's American Idol elimination show left Chris Sligh out of the game & 9 contestants competing for the title ... Yup! Sanjaya Malakar is still there.
It seems that was expected, especially after Simon Cowell called Sligh's performance of Police's Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic a 'mess'.
Others to get the next lowest number of votes this time were Haley Scarnato & Phil Stacey.
As for the controversial contestant Sanjaya Malakar, who is considered the weakest this season, is still there taking slow steps trying to reach as far as he can on this Idol road ... Maybe even to the finals!!
What keeps there?? A huge smile & a gigantic fan base! According to his fans, Sanjaya sings from the heart.
But he does have a few people against him! One YouTube contributor in New York has launched a hunger strike & vows not to eat until the 17-year-old is out!
Gwen Stefani also gave a smashing performance with Akon during the show, as they got up on stage & rocked with 'The Sweet Escape'.

Ok, Sanjay is not going home because the folks over from Vote-For-The-Worst have made it their cause not to let him go. They even have a new text feature that allows people to vote for Sanjaya immediately even if they aren't watching. See for yourself: VFTW on your cell
lol. He will stick around for a while but ineviteabley he will go... The kid isn't up to the standard and it will catch up to him soon.
