American Idol Last Night. Paula Abdul. Sigh.
Paula Abdul is doing a great job at proving that she is a piece of fluff on the judging panel.
Last night, when asked to give her opinion on the contestants, she made the following comments about Jason Castro’s second song: “I felt like your usual charm was missing” and “After your two songs, I felt like you weren’t fighting hard enough to get into the top four”.
Fair comment, only problem being the contestants had only completed the first round and Castro hadn’t actually sang a second song yet.
Her response, when this was s-l-o-w-l-y pointed out to her was: “Oh my God, I thought you sang twice. You know what, this is hard”. Cowell patronisingly, but appropriately brought the judging down to her level by asking: “Paula, who was your favourite?”
I have nothing against airheads. Like, Sophie Monk greatly amuses me. But you know what is hard, is being one of the kids being judged up there in front of Mr Cowell who bluntly sorts the wheat from the chaff, not remembering what songs have been sung and coming up with an appropriate (fluffy and vague) response.
Will her gaffe affect who is voted out tonight?
How much do the judges influence who will win American Idol?
