Light As A Feather, But Stiff As A Board: Posh Bombs At Idol Auditions!

ap090807018057posh.jpg

Posh's first day at American Idol wasn't Beckham's best!

Victoria flew into Denver for the first round of Idol auditions on Friday, and according to inside sources, the former Spice Girl didn't bring her A game to the table.

"It didn't go too well," says a production insider. "She tried too hard to be 'nice,' but came off as icy and wooden."

Gotta brush up on those acting chops, Posh!

Contestants were also said to be "deeply" disappointed when they showed up to the Paula-free audition!

Who would U like to see in Posh/Paula's place????

      ugh she is so disliked here in London. She isn't even posh because she has no class.



    2. 2

      i love posh. would start watching AI again if they had her as a regular.
      don't worry, she'll warm up. she's actually a very funny and charismatic person.



    3. 3

      Icy and Wooden…. that's status quo for the human Q Tip that is Victoria Beckham.



    4. 4

      OMG the bobble head is almost smiling…..wtf is wrong with her scaly elbow? SOOOO unattractive!



    5. 5

      Paula!!!Posh is very creepy, like that schmeagle character from LOTR.

      Sharon Osbourne or Mel C from spice girls. Can't stand posh spice!!



    7. 7

      I'd say being stared down by the only unfriendly Spice Girl would make me pretty nervous.



    8. 8

      I really like posh! (and the rest of the spice girls). But I think American Idol needs to make their show more interesting. Who agrees Perez would give some edge and interest to the show? It'd be exciting!



    9. 9

      o well buy a $2,000+ handbag and cheer yerself up



    10. 10

      shelook like bones



    11. 11

      Lady GaGa or You !



    12. 12

      NO ONE except PAULA will do for me! They are CRAZY to have let her go. I have talked to so many people who won't watch it any more. It will probably be the last season. I HATE Posh Spice and I don't like using that word, but there is something wrong with someone who absolutely refuses to smile. She is married to a hot guy, she is rich as shit, and has three gorgeous, healthy children. She should wake up with an ear-to-ear shit-eating smile every day of her life and instead walks around like she has a stick up her skinny butt.



    13. 13

      Can somebody give her a sandwich? Please!



    14. 14

      Americans would find anyone who isn't histrionic "wooden" and "icy".



    15. 15

      You, Perez. You and only you.



    16. 16

      Lets just get someone with some talent or even a talent other then posing. how about Carol King



    17. 17

      I love Posh Spice, I don't think she will be right for AI but I don't watch it. I think its so sad because she is smiling here and it looks like if she smiled any wider her face would rip.



    18. 18

      Can she just go back to the where ever she came from ….. leave David here he belongs with a hollywood hottie …. Isn't their marrage past the expiration date?



    19. 19

      someone EXTRA quirky
      very outspoken
      but very likeable



    20. 20

      she's UGLY, looks like a cartoon with that huge head.



    21. 21

      paula.will be back



    22. 22

      Point one, I bet they would have to pay Victoria more than $4Million they wwere going to offer Paula. Point two, why not get Mel B who has more personality. Hell, any one of the former Spice Girls has more personality.
      Victoria is a mannequin. Period.



    23. 23

      oh please, I will not be surprised to hear (since I don't watch) that Paula is back on AI. My bet is that this is all publicity stunt to get/keep people interested.



    24. 24

      I would for sure not watch IDOL again. go away and take Davy with you…..



    25. 25

      No one can replace Paula. Ecspecially "Posh".



    26. 26

      Posh ! !



    27. 27

      I would like to see her replace paula but only to see how much of a b*tch she really is! I bet she can put simmon in his place real quick lol!!!!!



    28. 28

      OMG - please NOOOOOOO to Posh!!! ugh!!! just as bad as Paula — can't they find anyone with a brain AND personality?!?!?



    29. 29

      Bring back Paula or my family and I will not be watching this year.



    30. 30

      she is absalutely horrid. why oh why does she even have any fans? what is her apeal? shes not talented, shes awkward, shes only a poser and a bad one at that and shes ugly.



    31. 31

      CHERYL COLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    32. 32

      paula is a drunken pill addicted weirdo & will be greatly missed @ Idol!

      wtf are they thinking???? offer the crazy lady the money she deserves!!!!

      fucking ridiculous

      part of the CHARM of idol is her & simon's bickering (which was missing thanks to that new judge..whatever her name is? )

      SAD



    33. 33

      I WANT PAULA AND NO ONE ELSE..I,M SICK OF THIS BRITTISH INVASION.IT IS "AMERICAN IDOL"**==



    34. 34

      Re: Texas Mom – RIGHT ON …..I COULDN,T AGREE MORE



    35. 35

      WHY is this idiot still around in the public eye? She's a talentless plastic surgery whore and needs to go the fuck away!



    36. 36

      whoever thought this cold acting beeyotch who thinks she is hot shit would be a good judge is out of their mind. they must not be expecting a season ten.



    37. 37

      Paula is the only one I want on the show. I have watched since season 1, I will no longer waste my time with it.



    38. 38

      Personally I would be starstruck if I was at the audition and Victoria was a guest judge… I would like to see Kelly Ripa be a judge she's soo funny and pretty… Or maybe Britney Spears/Jessica Simpson



    39. 39

      paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula paula



    40. 40

      Britney!



    41. 41

      Lady Gaga or katy perry should take her place XD



    42. 42

      Boy George



    43. 43

      She is so fucking gross. I heard she diddled her nasty smelly clit during the audition.



    44. 44

      Posh



    45. 45

      Paula can go fuck herself. She's a nasty turd who lucked into a career by sucking every cock and eating every smelly twat in Los Angeles.



    46. 46

      latoya jackson shud do it



    47. 47

      Well, Tyra Bank of course, what's the matter with these people anyway - they need help thinking of that?



    48. 48

      Why is this shocking to anyone?
      .
      She's not talented in any way shape or form in any type of "the arts"….how much did her people have to beg to get her this gig in the first place?



    49. 49

      posh sucks



    50. 50

      i think they should put paula back, it won't be the same without her.



    51. 51

      Are you surprised?? Of course she was cold and wooden…that's all she's got going.



    52. 52

      JANET JACKSON WOULD BE A GREAT OPTION I THINK



    53. 53

      Diana Ross, Kelly Pickler, or Christna Aguilerra



    54. 54

      Perez as an Idol judge? I would actually watch the show again! That would be amazing!



    55. 55

      I'd love to see Paula back, but if she doesn't return, then Sharon Osbourne would be perfect.



    56. 56

      What about Shania Twain or Faith Hill, both can sing and seem very sweet!! Paula may have been on the show since the beginning, but she was a horrible judge for singing auditions! You have to be able to sing to judge singers!



    57. 57

      Shocked? Are the Spice Girls even a qualification to be an AI judge? Simon Fuller has said the only one of them who could sing was Mel C. But then again, Paula Abdul wasn't qualified either.



    58. 58

      she looks so much better since she decreased the size of her implants

    60. 60

      and who is surprised at this ?

      this is news ?



    61. 61

      How could the producers expect anything else from that self-absorbed, over exposed q-tip? When has she ever been photographed looking happy, relaxed, and not malnourished? I can't believe she was even asked to be a judge. Is this really how the producers intend to fill Paula's spot? Like her or not at least Paula has a personality, unlike Vicky.



    62. 62

      Dolly Parton



    63. 63

      i would like to see her sister scary spics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    64. 64

      Katy Perry should just take over!



    65. 65

      OK seriously … what is she doing at Idol anyway?? Isn't she into fashion and blah blah, not music. Anyway well that was just my thought …



    66. 66

      JESSICA SIMPSON…seriously, she would be perfect



    67. 67

      This is a karaoke show. I just can't get worked up enough about karaoke to tune in, regardless of who the judges are.

    68. Glen says – reply to this


      68

      Love Victoria but…SHARON OSBOURNE. The only one who is able to realistically challenge Simon on opinion and wit. Paula was fun to watch as a hot mess but srsly what do she do to help guide a winner?



    69. 69

      If they could get Amy Winehouse…now that would be an adequate train wreck replacement….



    70. 70

      PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA



    71. 71

      Posh? On American Idol? Really??! LOL!!
      In my opinion, I think YOU'D be great on that show, Perez!!! Seriously. I'd looove to see that! They need you.

    72. Melme says – reply to this


      72

      Posh shouldn't have got that gig. No idea why America has put up with her…?



    73. 73

      i like the blunt truth…that's the point of the show. sometimes those who've been subjected and/or lack something understand how to fix it. i'd be very interested in seeing VB evolve into the role/spot. she has a dry sense of humor yet cutting and sharp. she got where she is by those wits..let her/everyone relax- she'll bring it. paula was paula…but she doesnt need to be there to know what she'd say. move on…and bring something english to the table that may row with simon-if he has contrast with posh we may see fireworks and insight. no kissing ass with posh that's for darn sure…she has a backbone an opinion to bring to the table. edgey-ness just may need to percolate within the show's people to let go of the past-change is hard to see by those who are used to status quo, you know! success is earned by taking chances/making changes. that goes for the audience, too, have faith the audience can handle it if allowed. hollywood can kill a show by copying, the mission statment of the show is evolution- being artists, noy being lame. don't replace paula…grow. people will be forced to grow too…they really don't care ultimately, they've got lives afterall (so stop enabling…ya'll!)



    74. 74

      It has to be someone from the music business…Sharon Osborne would be my first choice,but she's involved with "America's Got Talent" on another network…Carol King is a good suggestion…how about Toni Tennille or Carly Simon? All of them mature professionals from the music business,who could offer Legitimate,Constructive,Criticism.



    75. 75

      Not me. I think this is all a publicity stunt to boost ratings. Weren't they on the decline from past seasons? I have a feeling they will soon announce they have come to an agreement with Paula and she will return.



    76. 76

      Someone please take her and shove twinkies down her throat! This lady needs to eat! She is way to thin…I still love Paula! Thats my story and I'm stickin to it! LOL Nothing against Posh but she doesn't seem to b the right person for this job?



    77. 77

      YOU SHOULD BE THE NEXT JUDGE, PEREZ! ! !



    78. 78

      PEREZ HILTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN OR may be christina aguilera…. NO NO NO PEREZ HILTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON



    79. 79

      she literally looks like an alien…like the images ppl describe that clam they've had contact…skinny, huge ass head, big eyes…i think tom cruise picked her up on one of his trips to xenu….lmao…..if the idiots over at idol put "it" on the show to replace paula, they are crazy as all hell….



    80. 80

      Welcome to AI - SKELETOR Spice



    81. 81

      bring back Paula!!!!!!!!



    82. 82

      Re: Regina – Oh please, just cuz you have a complete and utter lack of personality doesn't mean that everyone else is histrionic!



    83. 83

      Paula was the heart of the show. I am sad. Posh? Ugh!



    84. 84

      Producers greatly underestimate how popular Paula is. If anyone is an empty suit it's Randy. No one really cares what he says. Dunno…my man David Cook defines everything an Idol should be, lost interest early last season, though I will say Glambert has an amazing voice and style. Kris Allen, really? I won't watch without Paula, she kept it pretty real, "dawg."



    85. 85

      Re: ZIPPY the Pinhead – Zippy should Paula not come back, your suggestions are great. I'd also put Pat Benatar in that group.



    86. 86

      I would love to see Amanda from Britain's Got Talent. She is super sexy, knows what she is talking about and is super nuturing. She would be a great addition and Simon seems to respect her.

      Perez would be horrible as a judge. He obviously has no musical taste (based on the lame clips he recommends) and showed what a biased judge he was during the beauty pageant.

    87. cheet says – reply to this


      87

      Bette Midler



    88. 88

      Paula is one of a kind… But if they have to add another judge with celebrity cred- OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN would be perfect!



    89. 89

      Maybe Vanessa Hudgens could give her a few pointers.



    90. 90

      I think the show should be cancelled



    91. 91

      I probably could've saved them some time and energy - Posh is a HORRIBLE choice to judge that show - first off, she can't act…. secondly - she can't CARE.
      And can she even sing?
      Not "Rocking" Science - LOL!



    92. 92

      shes smiling! yeah, she isnt liked in britain either. america seriously needs to get with the program and ditch the tired 'idol' format, x factor is so much beter than pop idol ever was!



    93. 93

      Alanis Morissette.



    94. 94

      Re: tracker – it is a british format and created by british people (simon fuller and simon cowell)



    95. 95

      she's so annoying…Paula was sweet and posh will never be sweet… she doesn't even smile…I can't believe that she has supplanted paula. anyway..we don't need another Simon in American Idol.



    96. 96

      Perez



    97. 97

      cant we just have one simon?

    98. leo32 says – reply to this


      98

      I'd love varied past contestants such as Jennifer Hudson, Brooke White, Syesha, Katherine….who know what it is like to go through the process and who would likely be as kind as Paula, give good advice, and would give a critique that is actually helpful. They can all be guest judges for one week. I wonder if many would turn it down because they don't want it to look like they are 'walking over the picket (strike) line of Paula holding out for more money'.

      99

      Give Janet Jackson a shot at American Idol



    100. 100

      Poo on Posh … she is a cold, ruthless person, it appears. Not warm like Paula, who may have been nutsy sometimes, but sincerely caring. SOmeone please feed Posh something … she is anorexic looking … not a good role model for young girls … I, for one, won't watch Idol anymore….
