‘American Idol’ Turns to Latin Week, Could Spell Disaster for Sanjaya

‘American Idol’ has brought in Diana Ross for a week of Motown, Gwen Stefani for some pop-rock beats and Tony Bennett for a dose of the American classics. Now producers are turning to Jennifer Lopez to usher in an education on Latin music to the ‘Idol’ pupils. 

Lopez has been working with the hopefuls on the finer points of delivering Latin music to the masses and Tuesday will be the contestants’ final exam.

While ‘American Idol’ has already proven that it’s not all about singing, this could be the week that Sanjay finally shakes himself off his supporters ballots. Malakar, who has already butchered songs in English, now takes on a Latin sound that may be a little more unforgiving. If backed into a corner don’t be shocked to see Sanjaya turn to some Shakira hip shaking moves and “Rico Suave” lyrics to woo his faithful.

If Sanjaya makes it through this week audiences may be in trouble because legendary Bee-Gees singer Barry Gibb is coming to ‘American Idol’ and we all know Malakar has dibs on “Stayin’ Alive.”

‘American Idol’ will air the Latin themed night on Tuesday and reveal who received the lowest vote total on Wednesday.
