Default I hate Paula Abdul. I wish the judges were just Randy and Simon. Damm she get's on

my nerves. Why does she always have to get an attitude when Simon gives his Honest opinion of someone's performance? Can she just let the man say what's he feels. He is not the type to SUGARCOAT a person's performance. The way paula judges she doesn;t help you get better. On the other hand, the way simon judges you helps you become stronger. THEY NEED TO DUMB PAULA

Simon and Paula are two opposite extremes. Paula is a gusher while Simon is a basher.

Paula may not help the contestants get better, but neither does Simon. All Simon does is say "That was horrible or That was dreadful or That was a mess". That isn't contructive critism one can use to improve. Thats just heckling.

Randy is the only true critic out of the three that gives useful advise.

Meh, I agree. I like how Paula is nice and will tell you whats wrong, but shes so.. mushy about it. Simon puts it out straight-forward and sometimes he does have good advice. But yah.. Randy is the best at giving advice. Thing I dont like is, the judges cant even say something negative without the audience going ape on them. Yah, they might not agree with it or like it, but let them speak.

I hate how Paula interrupts Simon. I'm always anxious to hear his comments, but sometimes I can't because of her.

No way! They cant dump Paula. AI wouldn't be the same without the 3 judges that they have.
Paula is the nice one, who points out all the positives
Simon is the mean one, who points out all the negatives
Randy is right in between.
I guess its harsh for me to say that Simon is mean, cause the negatives that he does point out is usually right. He's brutally honest.
Paula is usually right with her positive feedback too tho. Except for the whole picking Leah for the wildcard thing.

Paula sucks, but Simon does just as much half the time. He never gives any real advice.. just "you suck" "i could have seen that in any HS anywhere" He doesn't know how to help people.. just how to be an A$$.

When I think of the judges, I always think of Simon giving the most advice. What stands out with Randy is him usually saying things like, "It was just aiight for me." "Dude, that was just terrible." Sometimes he actually offers something useful, but I would not say more than Simon.

Paula says just rubbish. I wouldn't want her to leave though. Sure she's a waste, but keep the show how it is.

She bugs me sometimes too. Its like she's afraid to state her opinion sometimes.

Yah.. same with guest judges. Like when Ryan was recapping them.. the guy for John S. said his voice was 'pure and innocent' or something like that.. basically he wanted to say.. IT SUCKED.
