Well, I disagree. I like her. I think she makes a good balance and also adds some goofiness and fun/funny lightening up.
Simon is my favorite, and IMO, the most honest and the one that keeps the contestants striving. But he is abrasive, and most of the contestants are pretty young. It has to be very hard to stand there in front of the world and be critiqued like that:). So for me, I'm glad there is someone like Paula to kind of balance out. I think most of the contestants know not to take her comments to seriously with the exception that Kevin might have:). But he's gone.
Any way, I have to say they have an amazing dynamic with the judges they have. I'd hate to see her go.

Having her doped up, slurring her words, and not making sense doesn't do anyone a favor, including the contestants and the audience.
