Perhaps he was just getting into the sultry Latin spirit of the evening, but on Tuesday's
Idol, 17-year-old Sanjaya Malakar was doing some serious camera-flirting with his eyes. Maybe he was trying to seduce his way to safety this week after his silky take on "Besame Mucho." Even Ryan Seacrest piped in, teasing the singer that he was "clearly unaware of the camera," before trying out his own Sanjaya-inspired bedroom eyes. After multiple reviews of his technique, we're onto Sanjaya's moves. With him as your muse, you can have your own love affair with the camera. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Grow some facial hair: The better to channel your inner Don Juan
2. Play it coy: Sanjaya's downward gaze shows interest but doesn't come on too strong
3. Give the camera a sly smirk: It's subtle yet sends the message that you're very, very cool
4. Show off your winning grin: How else to capture votes (and hearts) than with a toothy smile?
