The "American Idol" top 10 are touring in Boston -- and fan favorites Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds and Scott MacIntyre are singing the former judge's praises.
Tell "Extra" -- Would you watch 'Idol' without Paula?
no I will not watch idol without paula! and based on this poll I am not the only one. in fact, every single poll says the same. the over whelming majority arent interested in idol without paula!
We want Paula back on Idol. BRING PAULA BACK NOW!!! We will not watch Idol without her. What’s the point of watching when you remove the heart of the show. Idol is gonna be so boring without her.
I think you should get rid of Kara. I think she is snobby and stuck up. Paula is really sweet. I like it when her and Simon pick on each other. They try to make it seem like they don’t like each other but you can tell they really do. The show just will not be the same without her. I guess it would depend on who they put in her place whether I would watch or not. Good Luck Paula. Hope to see you back.
replace cara and let paula stay
Please keep Paula. My family loves the show, and we love Paula. She always has something good to say and is so supportive of the contestants. Without her the show is going to me too mean. She keeps it civilized. Sure, sometimes she talks a little crazy, but that’s entertaining too!
I was never a fan of her music, but I’m a fan of her judging!
That Kara is a mess. I try not to listen when she speaks. She could not even replace or live up to Paula. I know I wont watch it without her. Too bad, you HAD a great show.
get rid of Kara…………..bring back Paula if you still want a successful show……..he’s got to be in the mix…..Kara really really has no charisma or sense of fun at all!!! she’s a drag down on the show
Get rid of Kara and get Paula back. She keeps the show from being so harsh and brutal. I am in my 60’s but I have heard the 20’s crowd say they stopped watching Idol because it is too mean spirited. Paula helped balance that some. Get rid of Simon if you want to fix the show or tame him down.
I will not watch merican Idol without Paula!!! I agree, get rid of Kara….
i dont get why people call paula a “bad” judge , i mean if paula is a bad jugge , what is kara than ??
idol worked with the original 3 judges for 7 years… idol does NOT need kara , or posh , or shanaya or anybady , idol needs paula abdul !!
why is so hard to fox get that ??
why they can see that is paula who we want at the judge table ??
tell then to change the name of the show 2 … i mean this show doesant even looks like idol anymore !!!
i really not watching idol anymore if they dont BRING PAULA BACK !!!
I stopped watching the show two years ago because I got tired of having to fast forward through Paula’s babbling. Sometimes I would accidentally catch a second or two of it and would gag. I watched the first two nights of this season to see if Cara was an improvement. I can’t watch EITHER of them. Get rid of them BOTH and I’ll watch again.
friends are talking of a boycott. get rid of kara, keep paula no matter what it costs
Paula was an awful “judge”! The few comments she made that were actually coherent were almost always completely useless! It’s a tough business that these contestants are trying to get into and they need constructive criticism about their SINGING that they can actually use to improve their performances, rather than just hearing that they “look great” week after week. The show will be much better without Paula!
I will not watch American Idol without Paula. They ruined it not having her.
Get rid of cara and give paula her salary! Cara is not even a judge a freak that sits there and tries to agree to everyone elses critique!
I have no interest in Idol without Paula
