'American Idol': Paula Abdul's awkward moment
Paula Abdul critiqued two of Jason Castro's songs/performances, giving both poor reviews, on last night's "American Idol."
But Jason had only performed one song, which Randy Jackson pointed out. Paula appeared visibly confused. Ryan Seacrest joked, "You're seeing the future, baby." And a plainly horrified Simon Cowell tried to correct her, sounding like a son covering for his doddering old aunt's mistake. To which Paula whined, "This is haaaard."

It's one thing to get confused, but did she really not even know who she was reviewing or how many songs she'd just listened to?
Contestants are run ragged on that show. They deserve better. Give them a judge with a clue.
Did anyone else hear Paula call Syesha,Brooke on last night's episode of American Idol 4-29-2008 after Syesha had sang her last song? Besides my husband and myself?We still have it recorded on our DVR.
She totally called Syesha "Brooke".
I've heard previous comments on the show such as "since she was perfect in rehearsal" (Andrew Lloyd Webber, I believe). This leads me to believe that the judges have had previews of the songs before the show goes live. In that respect, I'm sure Paula messed up simply because she may have heard Jason perform both songs and had already began to form her opinion and simply forgot where she was in the show as Ryan indicated their comments would be made after the performers finished both songs.
The show is rigged and she's a liar. Idol is like watching wrestling (which is only watched once) only more boring. Joke of a show.

I think it only fair that the judges get to hear the performers when there is no audience. How can they hear them properly with all the girls screaming and whatever other noise is going on. I think if it was rigged as much as people think it is our downunder friend would still be there and brooke and syesha would have been gone a long time ago!one more thing if the american public would actually make this about the singing and not the popularity,then the outcomes would be so different.
Put Paula back in her pill bottle or booze bottle, whichever she is using. She is a Dufus!
I am so sick of these judges, especially Paula. She is so out of it, wasted.
Give it up. She made a friken mistake. Its Television... Its ALL rigged. Everything you watch is either rigged or already planned out. Dont be so nieve about that people. Really? Look at yourself,.. like you have never made a mistake...or had a drink and done some stupid stuff.... GEt over it and find something else to ***** about.
To all of you critical, ignorant people, if you can honestly say that you've never made a mistake, or said the wrong thing, then go ahead and criticize Paula, otherwise shut-up.Like any of you could do better!!!
