Most important American Idol judge? It’s Paula Abdul

I'd be interested in Paula's strategy for the war on terrorism. Hollywood people always seem so smart. I bet she has lots of good ideas!

In fact, Paula Abdul rarely answers the question just as she rarely offers a negative critique of a performance. If she does offer some kind of criticism, she buries those comments inside so many layers of fluff and drivel that it requires detailed analysis just to figure out what she really said. After she’s done, she claps her palms together as if her nails were drying, or as if she were a seal still learning how to perform. It’s absolutely maddening. Based on her lack of actual judging, she’s not even fit to be a judge.

Bingo. As soon as she opens her mouth, you know a whole lot of useless crap is coming out.

ahhh... imagine if this country gave the same amount of attention to the idol, as we should towards God.

and we wonder what's wrong with the united states.

MSNBC tackles the serious issues.

"It just wasn't the right song choice for you, but you look stunning!" Ping!

Are there no rules on pics for Paula...BTW..picks from years ago..ie video with dancing wolf...grrrrrrrrrr....

[romanesq]

Paula is a great smurf I don't watch the show but how many of the finalists is she banging?

[RegulatorCountry]

She's always been lightweight in her commentary, but it almost seems as if she's acquired some sort of substance abuse problem this season, considering the glassy eyes and off-the-wall, nonsensical statements.

Paula seems to have a good heart, but you're right. Her commentary is

out there!

[dead]

I think she's drunk most of the time.

Paula is a wonderful melon in a salad of cornflakes and pizza.

[TexasCajun]

Paula is so cute, I love her!

As long as she doesn't get drunker than me!

Simon is at his best during the intial auditions. The funniest one ever was when he said to one guy, "You look like the Incredible Hulk's wife."

[kinghorse]

drunk is what the poor people engage in. she's probably being well served by her physician for prescribable ailments, bad hair, nail chips, that kind of stuff.

[conservativebabe]

LOL!

People who criticize her should consider this though... she truly is important because when Simon is mean, she often comes back at him in defense of contestants, making Simon look mean. This could ultimately make people change their votes based on her reactions and the general unlikability of Simon. (Personally, I love Simon).

She is just too damn fun not to have on the show.

[retrokitten]

It's not new. I think she's been drunk most of the last 4 seasons. She gets drunker as the season goes on. Usually when they get to the top 5 or 6 she's dancing like a drunk prom date through everyone's performance.

[conservativebabe]

Is there a theme for tonight's show?

[retrokitten]

It wouldn't be the same without her rambling comments. When she was talking about the cornflake and the melon Simon had been whispering something to her and was cracking up, too.

She'll never leave the show. She's just too entertaining.
