Paula Abdul Screws Up | Idol Gods on Damage Control!

Paula Abdul really screwed up big time and the Idol Gods are going to have to put some severe damage control in place. We knew it would happen sooner or later with Paula always in her spacey, happy place, but I honestly didn’t think she was this bad! Details below. Neil Diamond mentored the Idol contestants this week and whether you like him or not, he has sold 120 million records and his 26th studio album will be released on May 6th of this year. The guys got talent.

Idol Contestants Sing Diamond One

Jason Castro is up first and starts off with Forever in Blue Jeans. Same old boring Jason; ya gotta love his consistency! David Cook is next with I’m Alive and I was waiting for a “wow” but it never happened. He was good, not great. Brooke White sang I’m A Believer and I still believe she is NOT our next American Idol. David Archuleta sang Sweet Caroline and he wasn’t too bad. At least I wasn’t irritated by his singing. Syesha Mercado sang Hello Again and I just love this girl. She was very pretty with her hair straight, too.

Paula Abdul Screws Up!

After the Idol contestants sang their FIRST song (remember that), Ryan Seacrest brought them all back out on stage for judging of the FIRST song. Randy thought Jason was just okay; David Cook was strong; Brooke sounded karaoke; David A. was the bomb; and Syesha was also strong. Paula, in her infinite wisdom, rated Jason’s 2 songs, because she can see into the future. Or, she “sees” things I’m not sure which. Ryan is looking offstage for some desperate Idol Gods damage control, Randy is trying to snap Paula back to reality telling her to only judge one song, and finally Simon says which ONE do you like? Paula was very confused thinking she heard Jason sing two songs and Simon put her out of her babbling misery and had a short critique for everyone. Jason is standing on stage grinning and probably doesn’t have a clue what just happened because he likes Paula’s spacey, happy place, too. Simon thought Jason-forgettable; David-above average; Brooke-nightmare; David A.-amateurish; and Syesha-old fashioned.
