Sanjaya Malakar, an American Idol, in India

Sanjaya Malakar always figured he was destined for fame; ask him and he says as much.

Watching the emergence of American Idol as a national phenomenon, the skinny teenager with the funky hair knew he'd found his shot. He hasn't looked back since.

Though he finished in seventh place on the show's sixth season, he remains its enduring image. With a brilliant smile, bright eyes and off-beat style, Sanjaya is still one of the show's most popular contestants.

Go Sanjaya Malakar! We love you! Fanjayas Forever!
