Paula Abdul: “Fourth ‘Idol’ Judge Kara DioGuardi A Mistake”
Paula Abdul isn’t happy about the addition of fourth judge Kara DioGuardi to American Idol this season.
It’s nothing personal, she says, just business. Paula believes an extra person disrupts the long-established flow of the show.
“Kara and I have known each other for years and we get along great,” Paula reveals March 9 issue of OK! Magazine. “But we tried four judges before and it doesn’t work,” she explained, referring to NYC radio personality Angie Martinez, who joined Idol as a judge in the second season but quit the show during auditions.
“It takes up so much time for each of us to give our opinion that it slows down the pace of the show,” Paula laments.
The “Forever Your Girl” star is cryptic when quizzed about her future on America’s highest-rated TV series.
“It is the last season of my contract, and I have so many other things I want to do.”

I like the fact that they got another judge. I was kind of hoping they would get rid of Paula Abdul – No offense but she is soooo annoying!
I think Paula is just jealous that there is another person taking “Her” spotlight as far as the judges go! Look at her, she is always the one dancing and getting emotional, I think she likes the attention!
They can’t get rid of Kara!

There wouldn’t be any problem getting 4 opinions stated within the allotted time if one of the female judges didn’t ramble on with the same inane platitudes time and time again. At least this season there seems to be fewer chemically enhanced answers.
One fewer female judge would make the process more endurable…I’d base my choice on who sits taller in their chair.

I love Paula. I think it’s funny that the first time that Kara had to be the first judge to voice her opinion at one point tonight was snarky when the other three judges agreed the singer did great. The second (and only other time) Kara went first with her critique, she actually asked the contestant what HE thought of his performance…I’m not sure she has an original thought. Let’s go back to 3 judges — the original 3.

I use to love Paula but now i think it’s time for her to go and let Kara steal the show, Kara happens to be more qualified and the show was originally suppose to have four judges, also some of the contestants or most of them don’t sing good so Kara can take some time and voice her opinions and it’s more interesting. If you look at Kara’s biography, she has a lot of talent and has a lot to give to the contestants.
