New York AMERICAN IDOL Fan "J" Ends Hunger Strike Over Sanjaya

A New York fan of AMERICAN IDOL who merely calls herself "J" has ended her hunger strike after 16 days, threatening not to eat solid food until Sanjaya was voted off the program. With a recent surge of popularity for the controversial singer, including a crying 13 year old fan who played a major role in strengthening his position among the remain nine contestants, Sanjaya may well be among the top three or four contestants currently.

With the recent strength of Sanjaya, the New York fan of the show may have felt that her hunger strike was totally useless, or even decided that he may not be quite as bad as she orginally figured. At one time hunger strikes were related to important things such as the role of Ghandi in India, or hunger strikes to improve terrible prison conditions, but the use of such a tactic for a TV show is virtually unheard of.
