Sanjaya Phenomenon

So Sanjaya is finally voted off. Now, I know some of you feel that he wasn't the best singer to say the least but I think he showed a lot of courage and determination up until now. I agree that he probably would not have become the idol in the end (in his current state anyways) but with some professional training and practice, I think he would have gone somewhere. I just think that all of the attention he has been receiving during the past few weeks imply Sanjaya is a horrible singer which I don't think is true. But they say there is no such thing as bad publicity right?
