American Idol

Q: Which of Sanjaya's performances prompted Simon to say, "I'm going to hate myself for this – it wasn't horrible"?

Correct!

A:"Besame Mucho"

Sanjaya, sporting curly locks and a bit of stubble on his face, sang "Besame Mucho" for Latin week and flirted with the camera like never before. After weeks of telling Sanjaya that his vocal stylings were "utterly horrendous," "ghastly" and "the most dreary performance we've had all night," Simon finally agreed with Paula and Randy by saying that it "wasn't horrible."
