Forever Your (nonsense-sprouting) Girl

American Idol's never going to be the same again. Paula just released a statement on Twitter saying that she couldn't reach an agreement with the AI producers, and hence she has decided to ditch it. This, people, is what Twitter is for. Not for your constant updates on how much you love chocolate-frosted cake, cause unless you're Britney Spears, WE DON'T CARE.

Kara, thankfully, is still staying on. Looks like they would rather have the cheaper and more knowledgeable judge than the expensive and bullshit-sprouting one. But that's what we all love and hate her for, and its the main reason why anyone (fine, I) would watch it. I was looking forward to seeing how she continues to age backwards while Simon and Randy slowly become wheelchair bound. But those producers are really quite sexist. Simon's getting paid more than thirty million dollars for being rude, while Drunkla Abdul is only awarded a measely 2 million for her efforts. If Nigel was still around, he would never have let this happen.

Who's gonna provide the true entertainment of the show now? Randy's gonna be all, 'Dawg, I feel that, that was not the right song choice for me, for you..' (for the record, Randy, if you already said that it's what you feel, obviously you meant for you), Kara's gonna be all technical with the 'your pitch is right on', and Simon's just gonna be his usual 'that was like ordering a hamberger and only getting the bun' (and they claim Paula's sprouting nonsense?).
That's all fine and dandy for the judging part, but what about all the not so relevant but equally important

- "All you can do is the best you can do."
- "That may not be your best performance, but you look AMAZING and that is what's important"
- "I loved the color of your performance. It was a combination of all my favourite colors, like a rainbow"
-"You showed versatility And you still stayed true to who you are. What a concept!"

Just watch this video and you'll know what I'm talking about. (And it featured the shortest performance I've ever seen. One note and she goes on rambling like a lunatic)



and all the fighting with Simon...

- "I don't give a crap what you have to say"
-"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" (articulate girl, ain't she)

... and we obviously can't forget that she has psychic powers and is able to judge performances before they even happen. NOW explain to me why she's not worth twenty million dollars. What competition wouldn't need a clairvoyant judge who can also use 'agility', 'substitution', 'brilliance', 'decadence', 'instinctual', 'consummate professional', 'balladeer, 'intonation', 'masterfully effortless' and 'the palette of what you're wearing' in a sentence?

It's never gonna be the same again.
