It is all about Paula. Poor Paula and the rumors. Excuse me Paula, but you could have said, "I am sorry for what I did to Jason." Not one word about the fact that he had only sang one song. She is so<strong> self-centered </strong>it disgusts me. I have just watched Paula’s interview on ET and I am furious. It is all about Paula. Poor Paula and the rumors.

But, I am kind of surprised that they decided to turn this moment into a "we love Paula, and so should all of you, no she's not a crazy pill junkie cause Ryan says so" thing. From the obvioulsy planted "Why are you so nice Paula" phone-in question, to her demure "look at me I'm trustworthy" outfit - the whole thing was just bizarre. However, a couple of weeks ago, I did mention that I was tired of seeing Paula's boobs, so I am at least glad that Nigel managed to convince her to cover up the girls.

She only spoke the truth.

I don’t totally disagree that the comment might have been merited if Jason had already done his second song (in the same way that he actually did) by the time Paula made that comment.

There was a youtube clip (that he asked the person not to even record let alone post on the internet, but I sadly gobbled it up) posted of him singing some song that was upbeat and awesome and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d love for him to pull something great out!!

After listening to Paula's interview with Ryan, it's even more appalling. She continues to hold to her story that her 'second song' comments were directed at David Cook, but worse yet admits that none of them heard Jason's first song (they were too busy looking for paper to take notes on) and she had heard only a few sec of his 2nd song in dress rehearsal. THIS is supposed to restore our confidence? And the bigger issue is that these pre-conceived opinions are surely applied to all contestants, not just Jason. That's why we get "that was the bomb" even after certain performers have forgotten lyrics in the live performance. :nono_tb: Can’t believe the excuses they’re trying to shove down our throats.
