31. MAJORITY RULES PAULA IS A LOON!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS ALLOWED TO JUDGE WHEN SHE CANNOT CARRY A TUNE HERSELF. I FIND IT LAUGHABLE WHEN SHE TRIES TO CRICTIQUE THE TECHNICALITY OF THESE WANNABEE SINGERS. IF AI WAS SMART THEY NEED TO DROP THIS SPACE CADET AND FIND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT (eg.SIMON COWELL) YES I WAS PISSED WHEN MICHAEL JOHNS AND CARLY GOT KICKED OFF. THE ONLY GOOD SINGER NOW, ON THE SHOW IS DAVID COOK, A FAR DROP FROM MICHAEL JOHNS WHICH ISN'T SAYING ALOT. IF DAVID ARCHULETTA WINS IDOL.....IT WILL PROVE THAT THIS SHOW IS FIXED. WHY DO THE JUDGES LOVE HIM SO MUCH? HE ONLY HAS ONE OCTAVE RANGE AND HIS VOICE SOUNDS THE SAME ON EVERY SONG HE SINGS!!!!!!!!!!!AND HE LOOKS LIKE A REJECT FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIE.

32. Did anyone catch Paula call Syesha by the wrong name last night? When she went to critique Syesha, she called her Brooke. Add that to her list of screw ups...

33. And, she gets paid how much to do that show????? What a waste!!! She screwed up all last season.....it's time for her to go. This crap was the last straw....there ain't no way she can explain this away with trying to play confused or overwhelmed. She has an excuse for EVERYTHING!!! The whole world now knows this show is bogus!!!

34. I've been wanting her to leave for a few years now. Not because she's drunk, high or stupid but because she's boring and unimaginative. She say's the same things over and over, "You made it your own." and "You're a star" and when she tells someone, "First let me say you look beautiful" that means they sucked.

New blood...we need new blood, please!

36. Paula is the only thing (besides the main reason being David Ccok) making the show worth watching with her stupidity... She just made it worse by that radio interview... LMAO! At least she knew Jason sucked even before he sang...

38. What do you guys think? Everybody just rolls in and they shoot a 1 hour live show? She was ob viously reading her notes from the live dress-rehersal they do before they shoot the actual show.

39. I agree with some of the other comments stating that they think she is hooked on painkillers. I think she's been hooked on them for a very long time, many many years. I remember ten fiftenn years ago when Arsenio Hall was dating her and on his show more than once he eluded to her being a hand full and in so many words, nuts. I am jelous that such a no talent nut is a multi millionaire, go figure, I think she was in the right place at the right time.

40. Paula is a nut case! She expects us to believe that she is not stoned all the time, but whenever she opens her mouth, she can barely string two words together! What an idiot! GO AWAY!!

41. seeing this video shows what I suspected all along ... the network 'scripts'' Paula's (and the others???!) comments. She is reading lines without looking at the singer! And yes!!! I'd LOVE to see her on Dancing With the Stars! Especially if they program it LIVE ... now THAT would be entertainment!

42. Paula just gave away a secret of AI so they are just trying to down play it.... I believe its not up to America its what the judges say... who can say a rehearsal will be the same as the live song... One is always better.. unless you are Jason Castro.. then they both suck!

43. Looney and loopy, no doubt on some serious meds or simply swilling the sauce.

That said..I bet this tiny, addled cougar is a friggin wear you out, 3 input FIRECRACKER in the sack!

44. Why don't they get rid of Paula, who is obviously totally inept? Even when she does make sense, she's never really critiquing anyone's performance. Please, get someone who can not only speak coherently, but can also add something of substance.

45. I read in People magazine a number of yers ago about Paula. In the story she claims to have some sort of nerve disorder, kind of similar to the long term pain caused by shingles. I've had shingles and it is painful and my case was mild. So, I can see why she would be on painkillers.
BUT
The intention of a painkiller is to deaden the pain, not drug up the patient. Once the patient is basically getting high, it should be noted by the physician that the patient needs to have a pain eval and either wean off the medication or switch to something else.
This is not the first time Paula has been this way. I think this is VERY routine for her, but some days it is just worse than others. And of course, people in Hollywood are so self involved that they care more about themselves and continuing production of this show than getting her help.
Typical, but sad.
