Oh Paula...

American Idol is one of Americas most beloved television shows. Though, it does not have a perfect record for discovering the stars of tomorrow (cough,cough...Reuben what's his name and Taylor Hicks). But it is a never ending hour or two of entertainment. In my opinion, the only thing that needs to happen to make this show even better, is to replace the weak link...which is Paula Abdul. Sure, she may be funny sometimes, but its usually only us laughing at her as opposed to with her. Her latest slip-up proves once and for all that something needs to be done.

On the show Tuesday night, Paula accidentally revealed her secret to the world. She writes down her comments for each performer during the rehearsals and uses them during the live performance. This was extremely hard for me to believe because she always seems so inarticulate during the show. You would think that having a script in front of you may help you say what you want to say. Apparently not for Paula. On Tuesday, she critiqued Jason, one performer, on both of his songs after only one of them. She tried her best to cover up her mistake, but the damage was done. America now knew the live show was not as genuine as they thought.

This is just one time when Paula has interrupted my enjoyment of the American Idol experience. Her usual drunk disposition and awkward comments has continually left me wishing that she was simply not a part of the show at all. She has only tarnished the reputation of American Idol with these shenanigans. Her presence over the years, and apparently her speech abilities has only gotten worse, i just hope she gets her act together soon, or gets out.
