As a new American Idol season gets ready to start, one of the most talked-about contestants from an earlier season — lustrous-haired Sanjaya Malakar — has a new book due for a January 20 release. Coauthored by Alan Goldsher, Malakar’s Dancing to the Music in My Head: Memoirs of the People’s Idol includes a blow-by-blow recounting of his audition process and week-by-week discussions of his appearances on the show. It also includes details on his hair. (A professional bassist, Goldsher has recorded with Janet Jackson, we learn at AlanGoldsher.com.) The book’s release accompanies that of Malakar’s new CD, which bears the same title and includes such tunes as “A Quintessential Lullaby,” “Tell Me Who I Am,” and “A Guy Like Me.”
Sanjaya’s an Author Now

Yay!!!
I loved Sanjaya on the show and met him when he was on the American Idol tour. What a nice kid! I’ve been waiting for him to release something for two years! I love his voice. Give these songs and his book a chance, he won’t disappoint!

A well written book, this was given as a gift from a friend, first seeing a cute picture cover of a boy,
but inside a nice note to readers and fans, well introduced, by weekly results and progress,
reading this book from a young person veiw what he felt, did, seen, through a mindblowning adventure from a everyday teenager to a household name ,that had a TV show on Everyones lips and talking,its a good read,i laughed outloud in many parts of the book, in the colors chapter was very insightful for someone so young IF ONLY adults would have an a open mind like this kid maybe this world would STOP judging people on skin color,
P.S.tally u need a spell check and a NEW way of thinking.

Next American Idol will be between Lee DeWyze & Crystal. It has been the most exciting cycle ever. Curious about who will succeed.
