Paula is leaving Idol Options

[GalGor]

Sad, sad.. Paula Abdul is leaving American Idol, where she was from the beginning. She was such a big fan and supporter of our adorable Michael. I don't think that she coast much less then Ryan.

yea, she turned down 10 million. She doesn't need our sympathy.

True. I can give you 10 million reasons why I have no pity for her.

True. I can give you 10 million reasons why I have no pity for her.

But me - I have just ONE reason to regret.. Paula Abdul brought her part into Michael position in AI competition. Her comments after Michael's performances like : I'm such a big fan of yours. You know that..
or You're a Star- rock Star, blues Star.. or her disagreements with Randy -Simon like : Did you finish, man?
I disagree with you again... I couldn't disagree more.. so on..- are HUGE. Her judge position and vision of Michael ability was so supportive. She was some kind of disbalance on Randy-Simon tandem. She brought a lot of votes for Michael..Because, of,course, people trusted her. About 10M - she dropped it, because she CAN . But the main reason of her leaving is her disagreement of been something aside. It's very nice paid job and not something an hour, but M's. So , she doesn't want to feel heself more then 4 times smaller then Ryan. Or 10 times smaller then Randy and Simon. Maybe, it was just to force her to leave. Yes, Michael not here anymore , he on his way Paula Abdul helped him to get. And I'm thankful for her .

P.S. - Simon invited Victoria Beckman to judge on AI. WOW... What a nonsence.. Singer, dancer,
awards winner, 8 years judge from the beginning is leaving AI and somehow -so-so-singer, somehow-so-so-dancer, somehow-so-so-musician , I mean her previous experience, but Victoria Beckham in model field - will judge singers..

I understand what you're saying and I appreciate Paula as a judge more than any other on the show. If she'd been able to speak with more authority, people might've taken her more seriously. The problem with her was, she'd get all flustered by the other judges remarks and couldn't ever articulate whatever point she was trying to make. I do give her Kudos for trying to fight back though. With "The Articulate Ass" on one side and "The Dawg" on the other, she did at least try to stay human.

With that being said, I've never once based how I voted because of something one of them said. I trust my own judgment of talent more than I would trust ANY of their opinions. Michael is the one and only Idol I've ever voted for, and furthermore, he's the only one I'll ever vote for again. It's not a popular opinion (especially since we're at IDF a the moment), but everyone here already knows how I feel.

I think more than anything else, Paula is leaving because she knows AI is a sinking ship. It started losing the honored place it once held because too many people started questioning the validity of the voting machine, not just with Michael, but with Chris Daughtry, and a few notable others. Then there was an entire nation infuriated by the way he was treated the night Michael left. American Idol has never regained its credibility and never will as far as I'm concerned.

I've heard about the BS antics the judges pulled this year rather than giving contestants a helpful critique, they've all of sudden decided the show should be about them instead. The grand entrances, and crayons, blah, blah, blah. Paula would do well to move on to something with higher class.


Oh yeah, I forgot to add Kara is a joke. She may be a wonderful musician, but she's not good in front of a camera.

I'm sorry Paula is leaving too.

Agree, agree..everything you're saying I agree. I understand what are you saying too. Probably, Paula was more human been with her weakness, then judge..Maybe It's just time to say Good bye for her?
You know , Ultimat, I don't remember somebody's name from AI , said that even with some drop because of PA leaving , he's so sure - AI will be successful then ever. I got it as just a pose. At least, AI lost me. I didn't watch AI session 8. At all. What I know- from media.

I edited my post. What about Victoria Beckham? What do you think?

Who?

As for AI, this is the beginning of the end. No show runs forever and this one is getting as old as is Simon.

- Simon invited Victoria Beckham to judge on AI. WOW... What a nonsence.. Singer, dancer,
awards winner, 8 years judge from the beginning is leaving AI and somehow -so-so-singer, somehow-so-so-dancer, somehow-so-so-musician , I mean her previous experience, but Victoria Beckham in model field - will judge singers..

How can I be impressed by the success of someone I've never heard of?

Another AI fiasco. They didn't need 4 judges before. Maybe Kara and this Victoria are meant to equal one Paula?

Going to bed now. Talk to you later.
