It is a shame that the folks behind AE would pull such a stunt, but what do expect? they are playing it for “press”…they will wait til thelast minite nd then come thrught. hanfg in there Paula.
The show is starting to get stale and this is a way to brng it atention, by “payong “paula as such. As for Ryan. Girlfriend u have got your slef a good deal/. You’re such a wenny!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a nice way to treat Paula is it? She has been with AI since day one, and deserves better. Everyone tweet #keepPaula.

They should be rolling out the red carpet with money in hand for Paula Adbul. She is the antitheses to Simon. AI has proven with their pocketbook, they can’t afford to lose Seacest or Cowell. Kara, sadly, was a mistake. Go back to the three judge – with occasional guest judge, format. It worked. Meanwhile – they need to adjust Randy’s deal with a clause that if he can’t utter anything other than “it was just a’ight dawg”, “your the bomb”, and “didn’t work for me dude” – his contract will be up and he will be replaced with a much more cost-effective robot or impersonator. AI also needs to be careful – they could be slapped with a justifiable lawsuit based on sex-bias.

Unfortunately her leaving can’t even make that garbage any more watchable.

Ryan Seacrest gets a 3 year $45 million deal, but a female can’t get the same. Total BS.

paula should have been removed years ago,she is not a judge of voice that is for sure,every time she appears it looks like she is on some kind of medication,she is a has been entertainer,randy also should be released he does not have a clue when it comes to voice, people like to pretend that they have the knowledge but they do not you need proper judges like they have on dancing with the stars,the network should take a serious look at simon being the creator,producer,and a judge puts him in a serious conflict of interest position because he sold the idea ti the networks does not make him an expert in voice,he also should go,we need new judges,because your show is stale,also many complaints how the auditions are handled,by judges that are arrogant,rude,and not qualified,all you viewers out there wake up to the fact that american idol is becomming a serious let down,and i predict that the ratings will be at a low and a lot of the companies will pull their support.

So, do people still watch this ridiculous show? If so, WHY???? We are a nation of morons indeed.

Paula Abdul leaving? There goes the show. I jus’ can’t believe it. She is an integral part of A. I. Either the powers want publicity or have really lost vision of the show. So get on with it a’ready! Put Paula back in that judges chair and be done with it….otherwise I don’t believe i’ll watch much!!!….a lot of folks won’t be watching.

Replace her with Cindy Lauper

paula just says good stuff she should go

This whole thing is one big publicity stunt…. She’s be back. They must figure the American public to be dumb. And if i’m wrong, and she isn’t back, American Idol, and life, will both go on.

Just let this corny-ass show DIE already!

It’s a glorified karaoke contest and has contributed nothing to the world of quality music.

Simon Cowell has just entered into a huge multi-million business deal with Kate Moss and some other dude – he probably knows the show is on life support and is plotting his next project with someone he believes will bring ‘cool’ and taste and edginess.

you should keep paula, she is what make’s the show, she is funny, so just stay the way it has been so far, what makes you think that by changing the people you have now, the show will be so diffdent?

If they were going to replace her, I wonder why it wasn’t back when the allegations came out against her that she had been in a sexual relationship with one of the contestants. Actually, I thought she was never better as Idol judge than she was this past season.

First off, Paula was already making much less than Simon. I think 2 mill to his 36 mill. Disgusting. And we are hearing he wants much much more. Unbelievable! He is just a judge – doesn’t perform and the same thing with Ryan to make 15 million a year just to say…. and this is American Idol. I know it is the #1 show but in this economy where everyone else is cutting back in actors’ salaries. I hope they do whatever they can to keep Paula.

“What would a Paula Abdul-less American Idol look like next season?”

Better.

Paula Abdul is one of the hotest 47 year old woman around. She’s the reason Simon has any showbiz personality at all, if it weren’t for her bantering with him he’d be a dead dog! he’s flat no personailty what-so- ever and she makes him what he is!!!

If they let her go they are shooting themsleves in the foot and the show will bomb! What’s a few million here or there when it comes to the producers…as in Simon’s new cut deal. He’d better go to bat for Paula if he has any smarts at all…he acts like she’s a dummy or stupid most of the time while he has his head up his own ass!

Paula you are my dream lady!!

You can go anywhere and make moooo money do it..move on to bigger and better stuff.

one less talentless person on such a shitty tv show. how can you have someone judge talent if they have so little????? Hope they just decide to stop production

I hope they dont keep Kara over Paula. Kara was so annoying and didnt really add anything to the show but more annoyingness(not a word). I they were gonna get rid of someone it should be Randy. When was the last time he provided any constructive criticism?

Who gives a shit?

yo dogg. still b d biggest collection of musical illiterates on da planetwit or witout paula. Addy me boy bruno, ryan c cokk needz sum companee. peace owwttt

Beware of 3/4 of what you read on the web, Paula is being victimized by her inside who didn’t like her, and who wanted to go to a karaoke format and then forced it with that butt ugly Adam person, the idea that he rode her good looks and Billboard prowess to the cover of Rolling Stone without a single whisper of a crotch in his photos, everyone knows they give these stars the ability to yank unflattering comments on OMG. Anyway, she was the show, she was their musical credibility, she owned the dance floors with Madonna and Prince in the 80’s, and she should put it all together again and tour, she’d make millions and would bring a lot of happiness to people who didn’t get to see her in the 80’s.

Oh No. Not that new girl.
That show will not be as good with Paula gone.
I just started watching the show 3 years in and I thought last year was the worst.
That other girl has a voice but not the personality -it will be alful.
I can’t stand that dance show. Hope the director
isn’t tryling to just roll over to it and not care about American Idol. Paula is one of the judges no matter. There goes my show.

Last years show was the worst. Get rid of the new girl, Paula is part of the team. there goes my show.

never watched AI and never will. I’m too smart for that. She’s still hot, though.

She’s one major support in the tripod. Kara was an ineffective choice-let her go.

Let’s pay Paula $20 million/year!!!!

We have been devoted Idol fans since season one…..If Paula goes, so do we….our family will never watch Idol again.
A.I. is Randy..PAULA…& Simon…

I would like to see Paula go because she judges people mostly on their personality not their voice and the is a music contest. I understand that you need the American Idol to be an Idol and someone that kids can look up to but she’s just too nice! I think AI should let go of Paula and Kara. Kara doesn’t have a clue what she’s talking about and she’s annoying as all heck! I’d like to see the American Idol judges be Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and some other girl who can let people down gently but who isn’t too nice and who has experience as a singer because if you’ve never sang you cann’t judge as well and you need at least one of the judges to have experience as a singer!

American Idol should be named ‘the Simon & Paula show! These two play off each other. Their arguing is better than the AI show.

well without paula there is no simon and without simon there is no randy and so on if you know what i mean, i would quit watching it

Without Paula the show would not be nearly as interesting. She and Simon play off each other and keep us all interested. Kara can go and they can give the extra money to Paula.

We can not watch AI without paula,simon and randy.

We can not watch AI without paula,simon and randy.
