Paula Says ‘Fourth Judge A Mistake’
More Paula Abdul news today and this one is even better. In an interview with OK Magazine Abdul doesn’t mince her words when it comes to describing new Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi:
Paula Abdul isn’t too keen on the addition of fourth judge Kara DioGuardi to “American Idol” this season.
It’s nothing personal, she says – just business.
“Kara and I have known each other for years and we get along great,” Abdul tells the March 9 issue of OK! magazine.
“But we tried four judges before and it doesn’t work.”
Abdul also says the extra person disrupts the flow of the show.
“It takes up so much time for each of us to give our opinion that it slows down the pace of the show,” she says.
As for her future on “Idol,” Abdul is a little more cagey.
“It is the last season of my contract, and I have so many other things I want to do,” she says.
Who thinks Paula is really going to walk away from American Idol? Not me.

I HATE all these judges. I record the show and watch it the next day so I can fast forward through them. Nothing personal against the new judge but by her being on there. It made me realize how much I really LOVE Paula…Get rid of her!
Sincerely,
Phyllis

its adjustment time!! KARA IS NOT PART OF THE FAMILY YET, that takes time…Paula is in her confort zone with or without whatever, she belongs to this show!!! Is like Idol without Simon or Simon without Idol..NO WAY!!!!!!
March 12th, 2009 at 12:38 PM
I’ve not ever liked Paula as she always has something “nice to say” to every contestant. Simon’s feedback is right on. With TIVO I can even fast forward thru bad performances and listen to the judges. Paula fights too much with Simon. Maybe Kara is in-training in case Paula decides not to return. Other reality shows with 3 judges don’t fight and bicker like American Idol.
March 12th, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Cara needs to go. She just looks out of place.And quite picking on Paula. Nice remarks are a good thing. Goodness knows, after Simon gets through with them they need to hear something good.
March 20th, 2009 at 11:01 PM
I love the three also.one more,out da door.Kara dnt fit in at all.I mean,I would do a better job than her. wordddd dogggg.

Paula Abdul is fit on the show, and shes a member of the family long long long tme,without paula, simon, and randy american idol is not fun att all. So please, please stay paula ok?
August 5th, 2009 at 4:06 PM
I agree with Paula Kara does not fit in.All we need are the fab 3.Simon Randy and our Paula. Jane uk.x
August 5th, 2009 at 11:56 PM
Totally agree with Ms Abdul, you do not need another judge. I going to miss Paula, I hope you can come visit the show once in awhile. Take care.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:58 AM
I think Kara was great. She is beautiful, and she has a beautiful personality. Her opinions were fair. I enjoyed her being on the show.
August 8th, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Here Paula is, actually, right – but she was the one of the judges who took up all too much time buttering up contestants, who were out of tune and time
August 10th, 2009 at 12:58 AM
BIG BIG MISTAKE TO GET RID OF PAULA!!! She is so sweet to all of the kids who try out!! She even got Mr. Nasty Simone to come down to earth!! Victoria Beckham is a stuck up well you know what! No cursing on here! If she smiled it would crack her face!!!Has anyone EVER seen POSH-BECKHAM crack a smile?? I for 1 love Paula. She is such a sweet Heart! I don’t intend to watch American idol again anyway! Reason number 1~~They cheated for Kris Allen to win. And almost everyone knows it!!! Number 2 because Paula is not coming back. I hope they cancel the show!! GREAT GOING PEOPLE AT FOX TV NET WORK! After all these years you have made the show stink!!! I hope you are happy! You and AT&T your cheating sponser in Arkansas. Fans you can try to deny it all you want! BUT, It was all over the news paper in Arkansas. And on Fox TV news with Kevin Kelly. Power texting and cheating. SORRY FOLKS KRIS ALLEN IS A NICE YOUNG CHRISTIAN KID!! BUT ADAM LAMBERT JUST BLOWS KRIS AWAY WHEN IT COMES TO TALENT!!! SHERRY

Paula has given false hope to far too many contestants, who sang out of tune. Honesty – and musicality – is the only right way in such a competition.
January 1st, 2010 at 7:11 AM
i feel that we the Home viewers and audience should let Kara show her abilities in judging the contestant.as we all know she is a brilliant singer and a world class songwriter.it is not all about.how long you stay in the show.it is all about how to judge/criticize contestant. and it is also the contestant’s advantage because of the well criticize they received,they now know where the problem is..so that when they are on the industry..they have the guts..to showcase their vocal abilities….and if the contestant after leaving the show became a successful
star on the Hollywood..it is the judges that makes them well prepared!
and that’s my personal opinion on this issue
January 7th, 2010 at 3:53 PM
paula is right about this one….but hey sometimes we jus have to move on and get ova it she aint goin to be wit american idol for eva
January 19th, 2010 at 1:23 PM
Four judges IS a mistake.
May 22nd, 2010 at 9:24 PM

It was a big mistake that Paula left AI. She’s the fiscalizer among the panel of judges and her sweetness trademark lightens up the hearts of those contestants who don’t make it. She and Simon blend together as they have a very good chemistry on judging the contestants. The past American Idol series indeed generated a very huge audience because America loves Simon and Paula.
Now that Simon will soon be leaving after this season, I personally doubt if Randy, Kara Ellen, and the replacement for Simon could carry the same.
Kara has diminished the interest of the fans for American Idol. Kara maybe good in her own right, but not as one of the judges for American Idol. Putting Kara on AI was a mistake, well, that’s just my opinion.
June 29th, 2010 at 1:18 AM
KARA………………do you get it!!!! Not many fans like you. All of your sucking up to Simon was sickening, I too tape the show, and fast forward, or use the mute button, made just for you. Misty I soooooooooo agree with you, and the rest of comments made pertaining to Kara. .AI should'n have fixed what wasn't broken.
August 4th, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Kara is the best thing about the show if it wasn't for her I wouldn't watch the show she is pretty and you know what she is serious to and i think she is the best judge the show has had i am never watching american idol again why the heck would they fire her and i loved kara vs bikini girl she looks great in a bikini not bikini girl kara!
