The power of blogging effects American Idol

Sanjaya Malakar, one of the singers on this season's American Idol has been said to be "not the most talented" singer on the show. Despite that, he has gained much popularity due to blogging. But popularity isn't necessarily a good thing, most of the blogs seem to be negative, and there is even a website, VoteForTheWorst.com, that is trying to get people to vote for Sanjaya, to "ruin" American Idol. "According to a BuzzMetrics report, Sanjaya -- now referred to by only his first name on many sites -- has seen blog references increase 338 percent from February 18, when he first reached critical mass, to April 8." Check out on CNN!
