Could it really be? Was Sanjaya an art-school hoax, the brilliant creation of a fiendishly clever 25-year-old grad student at the Rhode Island School of Design?... Naaah.

Oh yeah! Sanjaya is playing on the other side of the fence for sure. I knew the boy was sending signals. I am usually right about these things. Sanjaya baby!! I sure would love to meet you.

It's a hoax go to Funnyordie.com he admits its a joke and he worked with Will Ferrell on it. Loved it!!

I think this video is the hoax/joke. While I didn't think Sanjaya was good enough vocally for the top 12, I found him entertaining and charming. I believe we will be seeing him again.

Hmmmm... it's clearly Sanjaya, but I don't know how I feel about it. Sad, kinda.

Is he trying to save face through pretense, or distance himself from his persona, or stretch out his 15 minutes, or what?

If he's been taking any of the haters seriously, I'd ask him not to. People went nuts, lost their composure (if they ever had it), and showed themselves to be inhumane and kind of worthless.

The ugliness of the haters doesn't warrant a response.

Ummmm... I think the fact that "Bill" kept his sunglasses on the whole time is pretty telling. They're different people, people.

Laurie Thu, May 24, 2007 at 02:21 PM EST

Please his 15 min is up. Give him no more.

Sanjaya was not a hoax. He AND his sister could never had made it theough the AI process if they were not exactly who they saib they were.
While I hated Sanjaya on Idol. Gotta give him props for his lateset publicity stunt.

Hmmmm Thu, May 24, 2007 at 10:12 AM EST

Anyone consider that this was Sanjaya pretending to be "Bill Vendall," and that THIS video is a hoax on all the Sanjaya haters out there?

OMG - - - - If this is NOT a Hoax - it is scary how much they look alike - IT has to be true. - - Explains quite a bit.

I don't watch AI, but I thought the possibility of this hoax was pretty brilliant.
