Comments on: Paula Abdul On XFactor Rumors: “I’m The Last Person to Know Things” http://www.mjsbigblog.com/paula-abdul-on-xfactor-rumors-im-the-last-person-to-know-things.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: lostinidol http://www.mjsbigblog.com/paula-abdul-on-xfactor-rumors-im-the-last-person-to-know-things.htm/comment-page-1/#comment-434946 lostinidol Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:07:11 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/?p=10299#comment-434946 Just because Paula didn't have a "Jason-performance-that-wasn't-critique" last season doesn't mean she's the poster child for sanity or sobriety. We only need to go back a few weeks to that craziness of Divas to remember cringe-worthy Paula. I do think Simon is sane though and I don't think he'd risk his new show for Paula. My guess is he's considering Paula for the Sinitta role, his little helpmate. X Factor calls for judges to mentor contestants. Considering that special rules had to be instituted on Idol to separate contestants from judges because of Paula's inappropriate contact with a male contestant, I think that would spell trouble if Paula is allowed to do more than make goo-goo eyes at the young boys from her judge's seat.

This X-Factor talk is kind of interesting. I don't know if it's fair to keep characterizing Paula as a drunk/drugged judge because the last season or two she pulled herself together and last season she did not seem loaded, and she was much more articulate in her comments. Randy has also gotten more articulate and yet he doesn't get a break for that. The show seems to try to make idiots out of the judges, we saw it happen to Kara, but Randy and Paula survived and gradually rose above it.

I have always liked Paula, way before AI. She has a very keen eye for talent that can not be easily dismissed. She, also, seems to really care about the contestants. Yep, I say, give her another chance. Well, I for one, will be very happy if Paula is selected to be a judge on X Factor. I have always liked Paula, way before AI.

She was part of a very successful enterprise, and if those ratings tank further, she will be seen as even more vital to the show than she was, therefore someone will want to grab her to capitalize on that. I do think that Simon would love to have Paula on his panel if/when he brings XFactor to the US. It would be immediate name recognition, and that is big for a new show.

I almost sensed some choking. She should have stayed in Idol. I had a conversation about this with a female co-worker and she said "us girls are sensitive regarding equal pay; maybe she took a stand because she should felt should have been offered a raise similar to that of Ryan Seacrest." I am not a girl, so I don't know if I am being insensitive, $5 million (or whatever amount the offer was for) is not pocket change. She should have taken a stance some other way.
