Hey hey hey Paula. You so crazy.
Today, for the first time, I am embarrassed to be a fan of American Idol. Much as I love/loathe this very favorite show, it makes me ridiculously sad. It’s like standing on the shore as a ship goes down and all you can do is watch it sink.
If you haven’t heard: last night the contestants each performed two Neil Diamond songs. The judges were supposed to give their reviews after the second song was completed. For some reason, Ryan (or Nigel) changed the format and asked for the judges’ opinions after the singers had done their first songs.
Paula proceeded to give her critique of Jason’s first AND second song, although he HAD NOT done the second one yet. So the question last night was – crystal ball or crystal meth??
What flabbergasts me the most is the LIE. After floundering, Paula said that she was reading notes that she took for David Cook. This is blatantly not true, but she is still sticking to this story.
Internet chatter reveals that more than likely she took those notes on Jason’s second song during dress rehearsal. As a permanent resident of La La Land, she simply forgot that she wasn’t supposed to have seen it yet and rattled off the review of the second song. When she had the AHA moment, she had to cover her tracks. She did not do a credible job but then again “credible” and “Paula” are not two words that usually go together even on a good day.
What will happen on the show tonight is anyone’s guess. Randy and Simon both tried to pull her out of the fire. There’s no telling how many defibrillators it took to get Nigel’s heart started again.
My wish is that they would just own up to what really happened and stop treating the viewing audience like we just fell off the turnip truck.
The silver lining? Miley is off the front page for five minutes. Thank God for that…
