Sanjaya Speaks

In next weeks Steppin Out magazine, American Idol runner-up, Sanjaya, tells Chaunce Hayden why he hates Howard Stern and why Howard had nothing to do with his success......Stayed tuned for all of Sanjaya's very STERN comments .......



Sanjaya tells Steppin Out magazine's Chaunce Hayden how he really feels about Howard Stern and his fans:

Chaunce Hayden: I'm sure you know this already, but Howard Stern has taken credit for your popularity and for staying on the show as long as you did. Do you feel Stern played an important role getting you favorable votes each week?

Sanjaya: I wish Howard would stop saying that. I think a lot of the people who voted for me would have voted for me without Howard Stern's help. The people who Howard might of influenced only voted for me once, maybe twice. Most fans just keep voting over and over again. So I have to give all the credit for my success to my fans. They are the people who brought me back to the show each week. They are the people who truly supported me whole heartedly.

Chaunce Hayden: Are you surprised Stern is angry you're not giving him more credit?

Sanjaya: I think Howard is taking away a lot of the credit from the fans. They're really the important people who make a difference in an entertainers career. They're the people who actually make you who you are. They're the people who buy records and vote for you on American Idol. Howard Stern and all his fans are just a tiny blurb when you look at the big picture. I really believe Howard had nothing to do with my success.
