Please let Kara stay! On second thought, why don’t they just keep all 4 judges? Sure Randy doesn’t say much and Paula’s so loopy,(no problems with Kara and Simon), but what would the show be without them? We’ve grown accustomed to them. They should try 4 judges out for another season, and see if it just works out, and they also might get higher ratings. :)

All I can say is good to the bye, Kara – she was a bore!! I can’t believe you some of you guys don’t like Randy – I think he is absolutely hysterical. No, I can’t understand Paula, but she makes me laugh! And Simon is usually the voice of truth!!

Kara is so much better than Randy. How many more catch phrases can he come up with to remain what he thinks is relevant? Dog, you don’t got skis, let Kara stay!

remove Randy. I never liked him from the beginning. Whatever it is, Paula and Simon has to stay! I watch AI only to see what they have to say. When 2 judges were made to comment a contestant at one time, I didn’t bother to hear what Randy and Kara had to say. So it doesn’t matter to me if Kara or Randy go. As long as Paula and Simon is still on board.

Four judges doesn’t work but RANDY needs to go. He never really says anything but “dog” and “pitchy” or “not feelin’ it.” Paula is loopy as hell but is entertaining. We need to coherent judges on there with actual critiques. That would be Kara and Simon!!

Yeah, 4 judges is too much. Doesn’t work.

Get rid of Randy. His critiques are useless and he serves no purpose. Aside from her math *issues*, Kara’s comments are clear and concise. Paula is the comic relief and Simon is the one everyone is waiting to hear.

Keep Kara and Simon….I don’t care about the other two.

I hated her as a judge, I am glad to see her GO!

That’s a shame. I really liked her. At least she gave some proper feedback and constructive criticism. Paula may be entertaining, but at times she’s simply too painful to listen to.

The only reason why there keeping Paula is because you never know what she’s going to say and her loopy comments get attention. All Randy says is “YO” or “DAWG” and Simon is basically the glue that holds it all together… Kara was cool but she did get on my nerves. Yes, it was hard for all of them to get their answers across but as the show gets less and less contests then there should be more time to say stuff, right?

I personally feel that Paula should go instead of Kara. The comments that Paula gave to the contestants are not helpful as Kara did. Love Kara!!!

I’ll definitely miss her is she doesn’t come back….it’s obvious she knows her stuff and her insights are definitely spot on. Not to mention, she can actually sing herself. It’s more than we can say for the rest of the judges (Paula included).

KARA should stay! She’s a fantastic judge, and her comments are so spot on. I hate to see her go… : ( Besides, she’s the only judge ready to fight on-air with an audience member HAHA That was brilliant! I wish they’d just keep the 4 and lessen Ryan’s chit-chat with the contestants? HAHA

Kara needs to stay. She is litterally the best judge on the show and knows more about the music industry than all of them and she can actually SING!

Meh, I won’t miss her. She kinda funks up the dynamic. While Paula doesn’t really give as good constructive criticism as Kara, it’s way more amusing to watch her try to form a coherent sentence.

To my surprise, I really liked Kara and I’ll be sad to see her go. Throughout the season, I could’ve swore Paula and Simon was shown in the background mimicking her and being rude when she talked so this news doesn’t come as a shock to me. I thought the show has been on the decline because of lame contestants and lamer weekly themes. Kara is kinda the scapegoat for lower ratings, don’t you think?

Kara annoyed the SHYT outta me… Glad to see her go.

I say Randy should go – he’s just a big useless load.

Kara actually gives specific, thoughtful critiques. Paula is enterainment value and Simon is the voice of truth and weight. Why the hell do they even pay Randy? I mean, for what?

I did like her a bit but I won’t miss her. She might not go anywhere though because I did see reports a few weeks ago about Simon possibly leaving due to his contract being up at Idol and him doing Britans Got Talent and the X Factor. If Simon happens to leave after this season then the next one will be the last season.

it’s always risky to switch up the formula – while i have no probs with kara, when there are 4 judges there’s no majority rules and there’s just too many people judging. i thought she was going to take over for paula – but i guess not…

I agree with Anna that this season is one of the best yet. The contestants are getting increasingly talented with each season and really putting their spin on the songs. This season has an amazing group of people. They are all great. Last season was good too. Kara did a great job with the judging but I’m all about sticking with Randy, Paula and Simon. They are great. It wouldn’t be the same without them. And Paula’s comments are actually getting better. She’s very positive.

I wasn’t so crazy about Kara at first but she’s grown on me. Honestly, I think she’s much more relevent than Paula right now and her comments actually make sense. I disagree, I think the show could absolutely survive without Paula. Simon is the only one the show couldn’t survive without.

@ Jay – they lip sync every week it was just super noticable with the disco.
