Paula not to return for American Idol Season 9

Last night, Paula Abdul posted this on a social networking site:

I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.
This is definitely going to hurt the show. Paula's kindness balanced out Simon's rudeness, and now Kara will have to fulfill that balance, and I just don't think she will be able to. Well, unless the producers tell her to judge less harshly in order to more accurately fill Paula's shoes, which might happen. And the relationship between Paula and Simon was a huge factor of the show, which is another thing that Kara will not be able to replace, at least for me.

What do you guys think about this?

Wow, that's really surprising!
I liked Paula a lot!
Except when the first thing she commented on after someone performed was their outfit (:
Simon, Paula, and Randy are icons of the show, and taking one of them out should change it a lot.
Kara, I don't think, will be able to fill Paula's shoes after she leaves.

.i think the reason why they kept Kara is because they dont wanna
throw out someone that they just took in. you would think all three of them (Simon, Randy, Paula)
would stay there til the end of the whole show.

Seriously, Kara is great...sorta. I mean, she really did accurately tell you what was wrong with your performance, ect.
But Paula; she was like, the beacon of hope for all the people that were sure to be voted off that week. xD

I love Paula! I wish she wasn't leaving. She's my favorite judge. Like Buzz said, AI IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN! I do not like Kara...

Eh, maybe this will make me wanna watch the show. All Paula did was be like, "Oh, oh, you...you just....you...INSPIRE me...yeah....i love your outift." and then she'd just give 'advice' and would make me wonder if she knew who the person was, because her 'advice' seemed a little odd.

And then she'd clap a few times...

Paula not to return for American Idol Season 9

I heard a rumor that they are getting Stevie Nicks to take her place.

Former Spice girl Victoria Beckham has already sat in Paula's old chair for the Season 9 auditions that have started recently, but reportedly she did not do too well. It is my understanding that Fox does intend to replace Paula to maintain the 4 judge format.

Paula may not have been the best judge, but she was most definitely an asset. Her positivity was definitely a boost to contestants and she is the only judge who knew what it was like to be in their shoes, having been a former pop singer/dancer always judged and scrutinized in the public eye. Sure, Randy has been onstage before but that is FAR different when you are just the bassist and not the main focus.

So yeah, I am bummed by this news because I have been a fan of Paula's way back when she was performing as an artist. However I guess die-hard fans of hers can still check her out on Dancing with the Stars since she's slated to be a judge there. At least her talent is universal and she is a positive figure for either as a judge.
