    I hope it’s during the audition rounds so someone’s Jewish mother can bring her a plate of babkas and say, “Oi, you need to eat.” A hilarious interlude between Posh, Simon, Kara, the mom, and the contestant could then ensue while Randy secretly eats all of the food, once again proving how vital he is to the show.

      Spelling “oy” wrong sure says a lot about how Jewish I am.

    BARF! Yes, I’m sure she will fit in with the rest of the “I think I’m SO famous” group of ……

    Even among the not-spectacularly-gifted voices of the Spice Girls, Posh (Victoria) clearly had the weakest. This is definitely a case of “Those that can do, those that cannot, judge.”

    What? Like this woman is any authority on music. Please. Her big “solo” at the SG reunion was walking down a catwalk.

  • Tim

    One episode too many. This is a step down from even Paula Abdul’s dubious talent. Samantha Fox wasn’t available?

  • Tom in STL

    OMG! While the Spice Girls certainly weren’t known for their vocal abilities, Beckham was absolutely the worst of that group. At least the other ones could sing in key.

  • Gregory

    Okay, I was wondering about Samantha Fox, too. Posh? Seriously?! This is a coup or has AI fallen that fast after Paula’s exit? If Posh takes one week, here’s a list of other guest judges to keep up the music cred: Demi Lovato, Paris Hilton (she released an album, right?), William Hung (throw the alum a bone), Charo (she’ll be as coherent as Paula), Kathy Lee, Roseanne, K-Fed, the Taco Bell chihuahua and, speaking of Chihuahua, I am sure Wes from “The Bachelorette” is available.

      isn’t the Taco Bell chihuahua dead?

      • Sally in Chicago

        You get the feeling that maybe this was the intent all along when they moved Kara in? Paula always said the table was crowded. Well, the table is still crowded.

        The Taco Bell Done is in Doggie Heaven :(

  • Marie

    of all the Spice Girls they could have gone with, they chose Posh, the one who barely sang and mostly stood around and posing?

  • Sally in Chicago

    Don’t you guys feel this was predestined? When they brought in Kara, Paula said the table was crowded….and she didn’t really like the new 4th judge being there even though they were friends. Now the “friend” of Simon Fuller, Posh, is going to be a “guest” judge.
    The table is still crowded.
