The news that the Top 10 “American Idol” contestants were going on tour July 6 is another flimsy excuse to ask everyone’s favorite — or maybe not — 17-year-old singer, Sanjaya Malakar, some silly questions.
Q: What’s the worst pronunciation of your name?
A: Sonia Mowlicker. Freshman year in high school. … For the rest of the year my friends called me Sonia.
Q: Have you ever belonged to a fan club?
A: No. I’ve never been the kind of person to be an extreme fan.
Q: If they made a movie about your life, what would the title be?
A: “Back When I Was Rich and Jewish”
Q: Gel or mousse?
A: On normal occasions, I don’t put anything on my hair.
Q: On a desert island, would you rather be with (contestants) Jordin Sparks or Blake Lewis?
A: Jordin Sparks, not because I like her more but because Blake Lewis is kind of loud and sometimes obnoxious. … But I do like him.
Q: Chocolate or vanilla?
A: Chocolate!
Q: How are your driving skills?
A: I can drive. I don’t have my permit, but I can drive. I drove a bus down Sunset Boulevard once, and I didn’t kill anyone.
