Sanjaya Says that He is Going to Hire a Bodyguard

Sanjaya Needs Protection

Sanjaya is back in real-life away from American Idol, but now he has to adapt to being ridiculously famous. How’s he doing that? He’s in the process of hiring a bodyguard. I don’t blame the kid. He seems really whimpy - in a puppy-dog sort of way - and I’d worry about him walking around the streets by himself.

A little surprisingly, he says nice things about Simon and feels that he let Simon down.

From the beginning I think that Simon saw potential in me, and when I didn’t fulfill that potential, he was kind of disappointed.

So I just want to say to him that he’s an amazing person, and what he does is awesome. He’s very opinionated, but I learned more from him than anyone else while I was on the show.

Aww, Sanjaya shouldn’t be so hard on himself. Doesn’t he know that Simon didn’t give one damn about him. He should be proud of the frenzy he created, and he’s bound to do great things on The Surreal Life one day.
