This is an amazing and quite educational book that will inspire others to pursue their dreams in any area of their lives...if one can muster at least half of Sanjaya's incredible strength. While there are literally thousands upon thousands who have been disappointed and completely devastated by the grueling auditions of American Idol, the soulful insight that Sanjaya shares will help to provide a sound foundation into the nerve-racking experience of those who dare to take the challenge...and that's only in reference to the auditions. His personal message in the very beginning of the book is so intelligently written and thought provoking that it's hard to contemplate what this amazingly talented young rising star will accomplish in the future. This book can easily be implemented not only in one's personal life, but also utilized as a masterful guideline in many facets, hopes and dreams in life in general, especially pertaining to goals that are trying to be accomplished; i.e. business, private relationship, family, self-improvement, meaning in life, self-esteem, substance of beliefs and on and on. A must-have in every household, school, company, etc., that focuses in helping others strengthen their inner-core perception in becoming mentally and physically healthy in today's society...a perfect score of big TEN ones!

This was a gift for my 17 year old grandaughter. She must have liked it, she has read it 4 times so far. I'm still waiting for my chance to read it.

Whether or not you are a Sanjaya fan, this is a very interesting look at the whole "Idol" process. For Fanjayas, it's a must! a good read and take it to the beach.

I was so pleasantly suprised at the candor and personality reflected in Sanjaja's book. I'm a 'boomer' that was struck by his uniqueness, and yes, his talent. A great quick read and gives the reader insight not only to him, but to the world of American Idol. I enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this book because it gives the whole Sanjaya phenomenon from Sanjaya's perspective. Everybody was like "what was he thinking," and now you get to know what he was thinking and what was really happening behind the scenes. I thought it was candidly and charmingly written. At the end of the book, I found myself wishing there was more to read. I think I'm going to go back now and read it all again.

I Truely enjoyed reading this book I read it twice,
its Funny, sanjaya has a Wicked sense of humor , a good heart and soul and it shines through in this book, this book is COMPLETLY sanjaya,
I loved the introdution, how he started off, telling about how he chose You Really Got Me & how it Skyrocketed him to An Household name, the notes from his fellow Idols are a endearing touch from people he looks up too, his sister tells how he Tortured her in their early years,read how he flooded her out of her room once.
its truely a book to read, you will enjoy every page, he tells of his upbring , coming from a large family, this book will not ONLY speak to his fans BUT everyone, teens will connect with sanjaya in his school years , Talking about fitting in , being an outsider, in sanjaya's case a floater, A friend to everyone,

I Laughed out loud, And smiled through the book,and also containes Unseen pictures,I highly recommend this book, even if you didnt watch idol or not a fan of sanjaya this book showes who he is ,
a boy who has a Passion, music is in his head & heart, music IS who he is,Hence the title.he started out as a boy and through this book he showes how he grown as a Man, a person and artist,
its a touching, compelling story, also you get an indepth look in America's Biggest show , the long Grueling Process of Audtions, The Longggg hours on the show , and how much is put in to Make Great T.V.
read this book, it will make you smile and warm your heart.

Refreshig, relaxing, candid. In an time when most teen idols are over sexualized, Sanjaya's innocence feels like a fresh summer breeze. I will read the book again.

Really enjoyed this book. It was insightful if you've ever watched American Idol and wondered what goes on behind the scene. Sanjaya's unique personality and humor really comes thru. I finished it in 2 days and wanted to keep reading!!! Highly recommend it for all ages.

I like everyone else thought he was a good humor on national tv to ridicule on. I feel bad for him to take him too seriously and to go on to write a book about it. I am glad his book is ranking with 6 digit ranks. I think people are still sane. :)

Sanjaya wasn't the people's idol. Sanjaya was a joke. He was kept on the show as a joke. This book is similarly a joke.
