If you’ve been watching American Idol so far this season, the biggest thing that makes it hard to watch is waiting for all four judges to give their fawning or cruelly dismissive comments to the wannabe Kelly Clarksons and David Cooks.
Here’s how it usually goes:
Randy: Dawg, alright! Yes! So! I have to say I wasn’t feeling it. You’re looking hot, but you were a little pitchy, yo. (He repeats a variation of this 5-10 times.)
Kara: You know what? I gotta agree with Randy. That wasn’t the right song choice for you, honey. We can’t tell what kind of artist you want to be based on that performance.
Paula: First of all, you are so beautiful. (Audience applauds.) You are gorgeous, I just want to eat you up and swallow you whole. But that song didn’t really work for me. (Simon starts muttering under his breath.) Let me finish! Your vocals were all over the place, but at least you looked the part of a rock star. Straight up.
Simon: That was absolutely appalling. Just dreadful. (Audience boos Simon.) Why do you boo me when everyone else hated it too? (Audience boos some more, until Simon gives up and rolls his eyes.)
One of these judges (not Simon) has to go. And guess what? Paula agrees with me! She gave an interview to OK! Magazine saying, “Kara and I have known each other for years and we get along great, but we tried four judges before and it doesn’t work.”
Ouch! Kara was asked to respond and she said she was “disappointed” with her so-called friend’s comments. Then of course Paula tried to retract her statement, saying that she was referring when used to have celebrity judges like Gene Simmons and that guy from Sugar Ray. (Yeah, right–of course you’re referring to something that happened years ago that no one really remembers!)
Paula also said that her contract is up after this season is over, and she’s looking to spread her wings and act crazy on other TV shows. Maybe the Idol producers were aware of this, and brought Kara in the season so that we could go used to her before Paula leaves?
Then again, Simon seems to have less respect for Kara’s opinions then Paula’s. It’s been pretty tense between the judges lately– there’s just not room enough for all four or them (or their egos).
Many in the Predicto Mobile community seems to think it’s time for one of the ladies to take two steps back: 36 % predict that Paula will leave American Idol at season’s end. (30% say it will be Kara, and 34% say neither of them will leave.)
I’m actually ready for Randy and his Dawg Pound to call it a day. It’s be a great to have a judge who has more then four words in his vocabulary, don’t you think?
