It’s a pity Idol producers chose to eliminate Paula, although, prehaps there were liabilities that will remain confidential. She was the heart value of the show and the audience rooted for her as much as for the contestants. Idol is now a heart-free zone and has lost it’s center, not to be confused with Simon’s apt assessments which are always on point. The addition of Ellen seems to be a decision based on daytime viewership. My family has been commited to Idol since its inception. However, the inclusion of Ellen is clearly a serious mistep. Her visit last season was beyond painful. A garish distraction. Although we are huge Ellen fans this amounts to the addition of anchovies to pancakes. We are seriously disappointed and it is unlikely we will follow Idol any further. A damn shame. It was a great recipe.

I think this show is because of Paula Abdul. She is the ONLY one that knows how to placate the idiot simon cowell and to lose her is a big mistake that fox will pay for dearly. This show was watched by mostly paula abdul fans, and they might protest the show and so lets see how the ratings hold up. If they don’t, want to bet Paula is either asked back, or the show is cancelled. Stupid mistake, but as usual men are paid much more then the woman who makes the show. Shame on you FOXTV – right wing hipocrites.

I watch American Idol mainly b/c of Paula Abdul. As usual women are paid less than men and treated badly, even in show business. You can’t expect more than this from misogynist Fox managers. We refuse to watch Simon and the other blah lady if Paula is not there!!
