He may be "so 2007," but Sanjaya Malakar is not abandoning his hopes of becoming a successful artist. The sixth season's 7th-place finalist has been busy touring following his departure from Idol and the ensuing Idols Live tour and performed two new original songs at a concert at the Mohegan Sun shopping mall area in Uncasville, Conn., on Tues., Aug. 5. Sanjaya performed "Quintessential Lullaby" and "You Ain't Never Met a Guy Like Me," which is rumored to be his new single. Watch the performance below:
Aside from his budding music career, Sanjaya has been exploring other areas in the entertainment industry, including television hosting duties.
