Paula Abdul Clarifies Comments On New Idol Judge

August 26th, 2008

Paula Abdul has clarified comments she made on a morning radio show about the addition of a fourth judge, songwriter Kara DioGuardi, to ‘American Idol’ in the upcoming season.

During a chat on KISS FM Phoenix, Abdul said she’s “concerned about the audience and acceptance,” of DioGuardi joining the show but added, “Time will tell.  We’ll see.”

Abdul, who’s been with the show since it began, cleared up her comments telling Perez Hilton, “This is gonna be a good thing. I’m really thrilled! For me, I’m excited as can be. I think this time around, it’s gonna work adding a new judge. A lot of surprises are in store that are gonna make it more exciting to watch the show.”

She continues, “I’ve been talking about her for years.  I hope the audience gets excited and accepts it. Sometimes its been hard when we’ve had four judges in the past. They always wanted four judges since the beginning. It’ll be good to have two girls, and two guys. Kara’s like a sister to me.”

    I just think that paula is happy now but i believe the real reason for Kara being added is to kick paula off next season. With Nigel gone they are slowing working on getting rid of paula also. I think it is stupid and if they do kick paula off their “rating trick” will have failed. This is nothing against Kara but Paula was always a big part of that show and without her it will be nothing!
