I can see why Paula was hoping for more than the 30% since Seacrest got his pay doubled with the $45 mil contract and Simon makes loads more. All the while, she's only been paid $2 mil at least for this last season. I don't think she's worth $20 mil either but at least $5-10m as they're really rolling in the money with the show but I guess FOX likes to keep their profits up. |

I agree that American Idol should have offered Paula a contract that gave her more than 2 million dollars to be a judge on their show. I do not know what a fair salary is for Paula, but a 2 million dollars contract does not seem fair compared to how much everybody is making. I just hope they offer a contract to Paula that they both can agree upon that is fair for American Idol and Paula. :) |
I heard how much Paula was making/offered compared to Simon and Ryan but how did it stack up to Randy's income from the show? What is Kara making as a judge? I will continue to watch AI it's always good to come here and see others opinions of how the contestants compare to mine. Scary as it is I agree alot of times with Simon, I think I'd just voice it to the contestant another way. But we love to hate Simon sometimes and that's what makes part of the show a success. |
Simon is just telling them what their loved ones should have. I would never encourage anyone I loved to make a total fool out of themselves on national TV. He really is blunt but sometimes that is what they need to hear. Not all that coddling BS. 99% of the time I agree with him. |

I love to hear Simon's critiques. Most of the time I agree with him just sometimes I think his critiques could have been said in a nicer way. Simon's comments do make the show fun to watch. You never know what he is going to say. I think many people have a love hate relationship with Simon. :D I think Simon loves to play the role of the brutally honest judge. He does not care if people dislike him that is why I like him. :) I know he is giving his honest opinion even if I disagree. I think his opinions weigh more on the show. I rather get a good critique from Simon than the rest of the judges. When we sing, our voices sound different compared to how everybody hears our voice. Before trying out for American Idol, I think people should take voice lessons, record themselves singing, and ask for honest opinions about their singing. I hate to see people get embarrassed on national TV too. I always felt sorry for those people. Sometimes, I feel bad for laughing at them, because they honestly cannot hear themselves. I think everybody can sing if they are vocally trained (JMO), and I think some people have better sounding voices and should sing professionally. |
I think people get really upset on the show if the judges tell them they cannot sing, because they are trying to protect their self-image and cope with the bad news (defense mechanism). Nothing is wrong with me it is you type of thinking (YKWIM). Sometimes I scream at the TV and say just take the bad news and quietly walkout the room. :D If you do not make a scene, you are more than likely will not make the show. Many people cannot sing so don't get so upset be cool as a cucumber. :shade: |

Why is Miao leaving? As far as AI goes, I agree if they say no don't humiliate yourself. Say thank you and leave with your self respect. I do feel bad for people when the judges laugh while they are singing, turn their backs etc. That is totally disrespectful, unprofessional and hurtful to the singer no matter how bad they are IMO. I know it's hard not to giggle once in awhile but they are out right rude sometimes. |

Tevo stated today that comments by Paula were the most fast forwarded of all the judges. |
The fourth judge to replace Paula Abdul is... Ellen DeGeneres is the fourth judge on American Idol. I love Ellen DeGeneres. I think the ninth season of American Idol will be a good one. What do you guys think about Ellen DeGeneres being the fourth judge on American Idol? :) American Idol's New Judge: Ellen! - E! Online |

Wow, I guess a lot of people did not enjoy Paula's critiques. :p I think a lot of people will be happy that Ellen will replace Paula (relieved). I like Paula, but she did not excel in giving constructive critiques. She stayed on the superficial level dealing with a performers' performance most of the time. I will miss Paula, but the show must go on. :) |
I love Ellen! She is about the only thing bringing me back to watch this season. Don't like Kara and tend to get bored. Happy again. :p |
