Wednesday night, there was a girl out there in America with a broken heart. You remember her, right? The darling tween who sobbed for Sanjaya Malakar a while back as if he were the second coming of Elvis.
Yes, little girl, your idol is gone, shipped back home in a box marked "Do Not Return -- Ever."
Holy Vidal Sassoon, it finally happened! His Hairness is gone.
America, I've questioned your taste for weeks now, but you finally came to your senses when 38 million votes were cast to send him and his bag of hairstyling products home.
After Ryan Seacrest gave him the bad news, Malakar wept but went on to sing his farewell song, "Something to Talk About," with a new chorus: "Let's give them something to talk about -- other than hair."
It was terrible and cheesy, and it just doesn't matter. He's gone.
Geez, now that I think about it, "American Idol" sure is going to be boring without Malakar to kick around. No longer will we be able to wonder what whacked-out hairstyle he'll come up with next, or what song he'll choose to brutally strangle the life from.
Man, he's actually gone. Huh, in just a few paragraphs I've gone from overjoyed to a bit sad that my favorite punching bag's gotten the old heave-ho.
Come back, Sangie. The girl with the broken heart and I miss you.
