What I dislike about Paula is that she thinks everyone is above average and rarely, if ever, tells someone they weren't good enough. I rarely pay attention to the content of her comments because she does nothing but praise no matter how bad they are.

You just need to learn how to interpret "Paulaese". Then you only have to completely discount the comments to the contestants she wants to sleep with (or is sleeping with).

We could write a Paula dictionary.

"You look fabulous!"= You sucked
"You look stunning!"= Pack your bags, loser
"You're a star! I just love you!"= You suck so bad I can't even find the right words to describe it.

Last season I remember Carrie hit one out of the park. She sounded and looked amazing. Paula did not get up and dance like she had done to a few other performances that night, she did not smile during her remarks, and said, "I don't think this was your best performance. You hit a few bad notes. It was just okay." In Paulaese= "I'm so jealous that I've gone as green as Frankenstein's wife."

ROTFL. We sit there, listen to her comments, and then decide "Paula likes it", "Paula doesn't like it", or "Paula's biological clock is ticking".

I just assume that she and Randy must have a thing going...it's the only way to shut each other up.

That being said, and add the fact that she can't sing as well as any of them, I thoroughly enjoy Paula being there. She's over the top, yeah, but she does want those contestants to excel.

Stevie Nicks is really the only one I could see doing as well or better as the female judge. (mentioned it before)
