Gwen Stefani Does Not Suffer Sanjayas Gladly

We didn't want to write about American Idol contestants, because this is CelebNewsWire and not HighSchoolTalentShowSingerNewsWire, but we broke the seal with Antonella Barba and now the stories are pouring out of us like so many loose stools.

Gwen was upfront with him and told him she didn't think he could pull it off but gave him the benefit of the doubt. Today after seeing how rehearsals were going, she didnt' see any progress. She went to Nigel immediately and told him she does not want Sanjaya singing one of her songs whatsoever. Sanjaya didn't have many options at that point. He kind of got stuck with "Spoiler". This caused a big scene at the studio and was the talk all afternoon."
