Paula Adrool Gets A Dance Consolation Prize!

Is there room enough for two crazy, doped-up divas on a reality competition show? There just might have to be because producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe has his eyes fixated on Paula Abdul joining So You Think You Can Dance, if American Idol gives her the boot.
Though Ryan Seacrest has just gotten his big payout, there is still no word yet if Paula will be back as an American Idol judge. If she isn't invited back,it should be nice for her to hear she has other options.
Nigel exclaims: "We would certainly consider her as a guest judge. Without question."
"Guest" judge or "permanent" judge?
Many are speculating that the end of Paula could mean the beginning of the end of Idol. However, Nigel feels otherwise: "At the end of the day, that program is bigger than any individual. Even Simon."
We're not so sure about that!
What do U think? Will U watch Paula on SYTYCD? Or is she forever your Idol girl?

1st
and they should pay 4 her- i dont really watch the show, but it would be stupid to not have all three of them judging
Ummmm yay?
She is forever my girl. Idol will do really bad in the ratings if she doesn't return.
zzzzzzzzzzz
…no……
zzzzzzzzz
sick of her
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
WHY??????? so she can be fake nice and have a nervous break down and start crying those croc tears….
Paula Abdool is the Heart of AI…. I will not watch it if she is not on it.. The producers of the show are stupid if they don't wanna pony up more money for her… It might just be a big publicity stunt for the show tho… Like is Paula coming back and when they have the first episode of the new season we will find out if she's back and the ratings will be up. It dosn't take a rocket scientist to realize this
Hey b, thinking about how we talked about 27 at p's pool. Still want to still do that. Send'em away for the weekend and we can do whatever! Sound good? 46 bg ym yn ms
I hardly watch Idol but it's already going down the crapper and without Paula I think it will get worse. It really is the beginning of the end. Thank God, because it is getting old now. Paula should definitely judge on So You Think You Can Dance. I think that seems more fitting for her because she is an amazing dancer.
I can't imagine that show going on without Simon.
American Idol without Abdul = the beginning of spontaneous combustion.
Disloyalty to your own personnel is a biggie.
Of course Nigel wants her. She's a knowledgeable talent.
I watch Idol but won't watch it without Paula. It's hanging on by a thread as it is.
wouldn't she be more qualified for sytycd considering she was a dancer for most of her life?
I really need that jacket.
Forever Paula!
She get's on my nerves… seriously, get over yourself for all of our sakes!
SEXISM IN 2009!
For what its worth, I will probably quit watching AI without Paula. It would be too boring.
TEAM PAULA!!!!
.
.

IM ON PAULA'S SIDE, SHES BEEN A JUDGE SINCE DAY 1.
.
.
SIMON AND RYAN R GETTIN THESE RIDICULOUS CONTRACTS
.
.
THEN PAULA SHOULD BE PAID WUT SHE DESERVES!!!!!!
.
.
AND KARA SHOULD GET THE BOOT, THE ONLY THING SHE DID
.
.
WORTH WATCHIN HER ALL LAST SEASON WAS SING AGAINST BIKINI GURL.
American Idol and Paul Abdul go together forever. SYTYCD I don't even watch nor will bother, even if she goes there. Really, it's ridiculous. Give her the damn contract and stop stirring publicity. Did the ratings take that much of a dive? Don't insult us, anymore.
we need abdul back!!!
i never miss SYTYCD but she cant be a permanent judge, her and mary wont click after a while…a guest judge sure. but AI wont last without her..it really wont.
I won't watch Idol without her.
she would be much better on so u think u can dance. she knows more about dance ( shes a damn good choreogragher and dancer) than music (obviously since the woman cannot sing). she never really added anything to american idol except the nice factor. she rarely gave constructive criticism until the last season. and i think she stepped up her game last season ONLY because kara was on it.
woww WHYYY ?
i'd watch her both on SYTYCD and AI
it would not be the same without Paula!!!! Give her what she deserves!
It is so obvious when Mario isn't writing the posts. Can even spell Abdrool right.
PLEASE! Mario, if you can't write it yourself, let the writer get the credit. It's so obvious that it is painful.
GET RID OF THAT SCREAMING BANSHEE BITCH MARY MURPHY INSTEAD

Oh GOD NOOOOOOOO……The judges on SYTYCD have always kept a very high level of integrity…if the dancers were good, they praised them…if they sucked the let them know that too. There is NO room for a "feel good judge" which is all Paula is…she lacks the integrity to be a viable decision for anything other than a "gues" on this show.

Eventhough Idol would not be the same without Paula, I believe she is a better fit for a dancing show since that was she was like her thing

Re: VGirl – I meant to say that dancing was her thing…in the first place
Sooo Perez, I thought I would share some inspirational thoughts with u from my book of poetry…these are meant to inspire u, giving u a better since of life and well-being!!!
Dear Ann Hache, Ann Ann, From the stars above, Celestial was one of your many names we loved…Ann Ann, first gay then straight, who were we to litigate…Ann, Ann superstar, the one we loved, who came from Nephtar…
To Whitney Huston: Whitney Whitney, where did u go…In your famous words, "I ain't no hoe"… Whitney, Whitney, who left Bobby Brown, for sooo many years he kept you down… Whitney, Whitney, don't take no smack because we all know "crack is wack"…
Love, jon
Nigel is obviously the ultimate "Insider" and I think he, and the other producers of American Idol know a lot more about Paula's "condition" than we do. So if he says "guest judge" he is sending a message loud and clear. "Guest judge " is as good as it will get for Paula "I'm not stoned"Abdul. Paula needs to be quiet now and let her agent negotiate a little raise for her.She is disruptive and distracting on AI and often embarrassing. I'd bet Paula ends up being a part-timer. They will give her a slight raise, then cut back so she's not on every week, and have some "guest judges." I think eventually they will gradually rotate her out altogether.
If "IDOL" is willing to pay her a "measly" TEN MILLION DOLLARS…………..and fuck, this girl wants TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS ?
Is this like LOTTO TIME ? Paula's "fame" faded in the 90's…………….so betta hold on girl to WHOEVER will hire you.
Personally, IDOL is nothing without DRUGGY/ALCOHOLIC PAULA ! NOTHING !
And her insults with SIMON………….where would they be without it ?
Ummm, How come you can not comment on the ELEPHANTS post! That is unnacceptable the way they treat those elephants. I don't care if PETA IS an animal extremist group, the proof is in the video. This is why I prefer Cirque Du Soleil because they do not use animals. Animals belong in they're natural habitat, not on tour all over the world!
its jst like any other tv series when after a few years they switchin up the cast..and then the show usually ends..sooo i give idol another 2 yrs
Re: SheriMoonFireFly – You've got bear scratches on your butt? What do you mean? A bear escaped from a local zoo or something?
I'd def watch her on SYTYCD b/c well.. I love the show so would watch no matter who was on it lol.
Just like I would watch Idol if she were gone.
Now if Simon were to go though… I dunno… he really is the meat of the show.
I don't know if I would watch idol next season without Paula, as annoying as she can be sometimes lol. BRING BACK PAULA, GET RID OF KARA!!!
Perez, the comments in the post about elephants being beaten and treated cruelly in Ringling Brothers Circus don't work!
I don't know where to leave my comment.
I love animals, and it looks so cruel.
I love sytycd and I watch it faithfully every week… but I will NOT watch if the shiteous beast joins the panel of judges. Cat Deely is annoying enough.
Not knowing what Paula's going to do next is part of the pull.
i think she would work on sytycd, but def only as a guest…even though she's definitely qualified to judge dancing, i think she's too far removed from the "current" dance scene (like…compared to mia michaels, tyce, the hip hop ppl they have on there, etc) for the majority people to care what she says. i think she belongs on idol!
She's like, forever my idol grrrl, man. Yep. Even slurry and incoherent, she has more heart in her little pinky than the whole rest of 'em. Honestly, Idol without Paula is like having Christmas without Santa… or letting anybody wearing red…. or hanging up the tinsel- why bother? And seriously, I won't. Watch Idol without Paula, I mean. It's like half the drama and none of the charm.
She looks great in that pic - what a cute outfit!
I don't think she brings much to either dance or song. But I think she has a tad more credibility with dance, but she would ruin SYTYCD as a permanent judge. A guest spot would be ok.
Re: oceanmotion – to help support the elephants and the other animals please go to www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com thanks!!
Totally didn't know that she is Jewish!!!!!
he medicated antics and exaggerated speeches are what makes idol. although she is better at dancing, and will forever be, she should at least be a permanent judge on SYTYCD (possibly replace Mary Murphy because she don't know shiz about Hip Hop).
she knows waaaaay more about dancing than singing!
don't insult her by saying you would let her be a "guest judge!"
Sorry…. I hate watching PA on AI… She is always out of it, and slurring her words, and well… I think an embarassment to watch! Better off without her!
She is old and ugly…
even though she is a way better dancer than singer, idol really wouldn't be idol without her, and would just be awkward to watch…and sytycd already has mary murphy, who is sort of the "paula" of that show anyways
^^^^Cool Guys!!!
Hot cougars and milfs on ==== kisscougar. c o m ==== love you guys; and wanna hook up with men just like you!! if you don't mind the so-called age gap, if you really have desires in your hearts, then you rock there!!!
I don't watch Idol, so I would be stoked if she went on SYTYCD, cause I do watch that. Paula rocks. I would watch Idol for her if they didn't have that Seacrest on there.
I think the show would be better off with out her all she would do is complain and nag all the time or have a nervous breakdown like come on its just a show come down she looks like she needs help and doesnt need to be on Amerian Idol
Love u paula! Pay her! Fox,idol whomever? Idol wnt b the same!
Why not both? C'mon.. Ryan is great at his job, but Paula deserves the money she is asking. In publicity alone she makes earns her money. If Paula is not there come January, its really going to change the dynamic of the show and I don't think the audience will get over that
Yay,Paula!
She should do metal versions her 80's hits
I don't watch SYTYCD I'm not a fan of dancing shows (IMHO, of course) and I won't watch just for Paula. I DEF won't watch Idol if Paula is gone
Idol would survive without Paula but not without Simon…
Yeah NO…If they get rid of Paula, American idol will slowly go downhill. people can take change, i think…but not tooo much change. and Im confused. Ryan seacrest was paid off to leave? or to stay?
fix your elephant post, I can't post a comment.
anyhoooosss….. Ringling SUCKS and everyone should ban them. I repeat DO NOT go to the circus that has animals!!! I stopped my daughter from attending on a school trip and made the teacher look into it more. They cancelled the trip and went hiking instead. Enjoying nature and wildlife the way it is supposed to be. Ringling is a bunch of assholes.
I'd take Paula over that loud-ass Mary Murphy any day!
I think Paula as a judge on SYTYCD wouold fail miserably.
That picture of a fish was really uncalled for Perez
hi
She has always been annoying on Idol (and it's amazing she wasn't fired during the times she was high/drunk) and between her and Mary on SYTYCD, it would be torture.
Re: GirlsJustWannaHaveFun –
Winnie/poohbearz wife got me…heheheee
joke from yezterday..
Either way Im never watching American Idol again after the glambert lost.
meth thin
AI is not what is use to be, so we don't watch every week anymore, but we do watch SYTYCD EVERY week. If Paula is removed, I won't watch AI anymore…it would be dead to me…she and simon are the only regulars that make it interesting…she sweet and crazy and simon is painfully honest and vicious…i like!…paula would make a great guest judge on SYTYCD…like Ellen did last night!
NO she's an Idol girl…DO NOT…and that's a big NOT… bring her to SYTYCD! It'll ruin the show!
Re: SheriMoonFireFly – LOL I remember that now.. lol Winnie the Pooh
It doesn't have to either or. Why can't she do both?
Paula is encountering the glass ceiling. There is NO reason for the guys to make more. She could prob. take it to court, and they'd have to even it up, at least with Randy Jackson. Simon has a bit of a diff. role, as does Seacrest. This could also all be to stir up some pre-season P.R. I liked Kara well enough even though she was no Paula, but I didn't think she really added anything but an annoying distraction. (She wasn't particularly annoying, but having a fourth judge was.)
dump her….she's a waste…..
THIS IS HORRIBLE! I love that show to death. but if they have u go on that show. it will be ruined for ever! She knows nothing about dance. or singing for that matter she shouldnt even be noticed. We have the Paula abdul of So You think you can dance! We dont need drunken clamping and saying you look great in that show! Wednesday's dance with Mellisa and Ade was beautiful and about breast cancer. Paula wouldnt have been crying she would have been laughing and saying she looked beautiful! She isnt right for a judging spot. NOT AT ALL!
no Paula no Idol
I LOVE PAULA! SHES THE ONLY REASON I WATCH AI ! IF SHE IS NOT ON AMERICAN IDOL I WONT WATCH AI ANYMORE AND THE SHOW WILL SLOWLY DECREASE!!
I LOVE PAULA'S SHOW "HEY PAULA"
PAULA IS THE BEST JUDGE ON AI!
GIVE KARA THE BOOT,SHE BROUGHT NOTHING TO THE SHOW!
FOREVER PAULA!
Nooooooooooooooo! Keep her on IDOL! I like her on IDOL! No! No more change! (Already lost a 22 yr old station in May-that station was part of my childhood, but I digress) :[
