There’s more than one huge celebrity today who was once called loser (we’ll say non-winner, it sounds less harsh) by a little show called American Idol. Is one of these almost-winners ready to take the world by storm with his latest project?

Some would swear that Sanjaya Malakar was the winner of Season 6. The young crooner melted hearts with his big smile, captivating locks and signature style. Though he was voted off Idol in seventh place, Malakar returned to the show to perform on the season’s finale.

Would you like to know a little bit more about his side of the story (or, are you just a full-on Sanjaya fan)? Then get your credit card ready on January 20 to purchase Malakar’s “Dancing to the Music in My Head: Memoirs of the People’s Idol.” It is both album and memoir, and it’s about all the Sanjaya you could ever want.

Have a listen to some of the album’s tracks through Amazon.com.
