Los Angeles, March 22 (IANS) "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell thinks Indian American contestant Sanjaya Malakar is untalented and has threatened to quit the show if he wins.

One fan of the show has taken it to extremes. She has gone on a hunger strike in the hopes that Sanjaya will be voted off, reports www.hollywood.tv.

Now into her fourth day of hunger strike, the fan, who has not been identified, said: "I have no problems with Sanjaya personally, he seems like a very charming young man. However, he does not belong on 'American Idol."

"Sanjaya did come out of his shell a bit tonight like the judges said. However, his voice was horrific. He screamed through the entire song and jumped around like a manic. Nice kid, nice kid, but not for 'American Idol," she added.
