Paula’s such a loose cannon, they probably are bringing this lady on to slowly phase out Paula’s role. Why do we need more opinions when Simon and Randy pretty much say it all? 4 people on the panel is overkill. It’s akin to Queer Eye’s Jai Rodriguez as the “Culture Expert.” Meaningless.

Rock on Rachel! i heard the same broadcast too! I guess Paula thought Kara was an amazing songwriter, she met her randomly and went back to Karas pad to hear her talent.. Paula liked her so much she doted her all around the world to showcase her talent.

Someone told me that Nicole from PCD was gonna be the 4th judge, not that it really matters, I don’t watch it but I thought would be a really bad idea…she’s hot & would totally shove Paula right out.

I surprised to hear the news as well. This morning Paula Abdual called in to Johnjay and Rich here in the Phoenix area and explained that she actually discoved Kara back in about 1999. She went on to say that she moved Kara from NYC to LA and let her live in her home with her. Interesting. I actually think it will be a good dynamic with Paula having a “partner in crime.” I believe you can hear a podcast from the Johnjay and Rich website for the whole story…

The ratings were slightly down because the show is getting tired. The “themes” they did this past season were horrible and not that relatable to the young audience. The contestants were ok, but not nearly “The most talented group ever!” like they promoted in the beginning. I mean, it was a pretty talented Top 24, not as impressive by the time it got to the Top 12. The kids were too media-savvy and having previous deals (a few of them) definitely took away from the “newness.” I don’t see how a 4th judge will change that….

i think GUEST judges work great… because its someone new every week. also… i would think a blonde person would LOOK better on the pannel. its all very monotone… they need a little diversity. idk. i havnt watched the show in seasons… kinda lost interest after a while. :(

Yah, the show is a mess and this is not going to help. A rotating judge who tell’s it like it is would be much more appropriate – similar to So You Think You Can Dance — where the judges, um, tell you if it was A) Good or B) Bad and why. Not the usual:
Randy: It was pitchy and just ‘aight for me.
Paula: I have to agree but you look just stunning tonight…wait, where am I?
Simon: I have to say, that sucked ass.

I would still watch AI even if there wasn’t this new judge. Not too sure what she would add…regardless of her having grammy’s? i think the set up right now is fine
