61. Here's the thing.... we have all seen Paula talking when sober (yes, she really was) and she just spoke clearly and normal. When she was stoned on Idol and danced on the judges table then spoke to each contestant she spoke like she did on this interview.

GAWD, get a clue! The woman has problems with substance abuse, she needs help or it will all come back and bite her in her career butt!

63. What is with you people?? Give Paula a break, already!! How many of you look as good and are making the money she is after all her years in show business??

64. At first I thought that her might have been in a little trouble, 'cause her slurring her words could have indicated that she was having a stroke. But as she smiled and moved around, I'm willing to bet that she "HIT THE FLOOR (and felt NOTHING!)" several times before and after that interview! She was just smashed!

65. I thought that she was having a stroke, but now I think that she was just smashed! And I am willing to bet that she found herself getting up off the floor several times THAT DAY before and after that interview! She's still hot!!!

66. As a recovering alcoholic myself, it was completely apparent that Paula was intoxicated...a lot...contrary to whatever her publicist is saying for her protection. She's displayed her drunken behavior in public several times before and is obviously in trouble. She needs to get help with her alcohol problem. I hope she does and wish her well.

68. When is the network going to stop making excuses for this bimbo? It's time to cut her loose and find someone is rational.

69. I'ts hard to concentrate on an interview when you have ex-american idols who are 19 f***ing her hard in the ass and p***y that you can't see from behind the scenes..................... a whore is a whore is a whore.... she is a nut, a nut, a nut. I love it when someone says... she has never seen her drink in her life.... it may not be alcohol but she is certainly on muscle relaxants and other such who knows what... She has the worse voice, she is taking drugs because she can't get over the very early 90's when she made a few songs that were hits and now it's been over 12 yrs and she is a nobody.... she doesn't have a good voice, she is not sexy (never was) afterall, I don't know about you.. but I know myself and other guys never like short and stumpy and the ole gymnast type body.. disgusting.. she looks just like janet jackson in her fat video.

70. Paula, admit it, you were pissed! It's rather obvious. The only "technical difficulty" is probably trying to remember where you put down that boozy drink yer obviously enjoying, so early in the day. You go girl. Your secret (?) is safe with me. If I had to work with Simon, I'd have a drinking problem too.

71. See Paula.
See Paula look up at the sky, flail her hands, and think there's a bird above her.
See Paula make tweet tweet sounds while Randy's talking.
See Paula vomit on Simon's black T-shirt.
See Paula take a nosedive into the judges' table while Seacrest lifts her head up for comment.

We're here at Idol...LIVE!!!

72. Oh yeah, Paula girl was LIT UP! Bobbing and weaving all over the place. I was gettin sea sick just watching her. So sad.

73. I think Paula needs to put away the pain killers and/or drinks, she looks/acts really stupid.

74.
Paula seems out of it half the time I see her on TV.

But about American Idol, I just caught the first 5 minutes of this year's auditions and they are way over the top mean to these contestants. It's unnecessary. I stopped watching The Inventor for that reason and will not be following this season's American Idol. Life goes on!

75. Yep, Paula's on the sauce again. Why's everybody so shocked?? she's done this act before.
