    It seems clear that they are killing AI one step at a time. First no Paula and then this humorlous, untalented replacement? She may be a celebrity in the UK, but here she is a major yawn.

      She is just like Paula an old sorta hot flaky ex popstar

      • smilie12

        I agree. Posh is just like Paula. She isn’t current. Nothing new is being brought to the table….just a continuation of too many judge comments.

    I agree with the previous poster. The producers are really trying to alienate the viewers, it seems. With Ms. Beckham, they are guaranteeing that only those that are brain dead will be watching.

    Yes, mostboringseasonever, intellectuals everywhere will miss Ms. Abdul’s incisive commentary and keen wit. She was an incoherent, narcissistic moron, and the fact that anyone is lamenting her departure (prompted by Paula’s pique at not being paid more per year than most Americans would see in two lifetimes – - to burp vapidities a few times a week, a few months per year) is a condemnation of our idiot culture, and not of AI.

      Well said, sir! Paula has proven herself pointless over and over, and yet… we fools appear to be bothered by this pile of worthlessness leaving?

      • Judy

        Paula is a cool lady who says more constructive things than Randy or Kara combined. On top of that, she added personality to the panel. Really, who the hell is Simon gonna torment now? She was the only one with an actual beating heart.

        How about Simon tormenting the IDOLS? This show should be about the IDOLS. It should spend more time providing the personality of all of the IDOLS. It should spend more time providing singing by the IDOLS. Meaningless comments and torment are provided on every channel on TV. Why can’t we have one that has class and means something to the music industry. That would be one heck of a show. Imagine that…..

    • LoveDaRocker

      Well said indeed. Even assuming that her contributions to the show justify the salary she rejected (which is not the case), rejecting that much money for doing something she supposedly loves to do, completely changed my perception of her. Even people who liked her should take a second look and realize that she is no sweetie, just another spoiled overpaid human being the world would be better without.

    If I read correctly, Posh is only a guest judge for auditions, Katy Perry is too. I don’t think they’ll hire either one of them full time.

  • steve

    Posh is only going to be a ‘GUEST’ judge like Kate Perry. They are also bring in Annie Lennox and Olivia Newton-John to guest as temporary judge. In fact, Olivia or Annie might take Paula’s place in the long run according to People Magazine insiders.

    • smilie12

      I am interested in how well Annie Lennox does as a judge. She knows success as the vocalist of a band and solo act.

  • Alan of Montreal

    Victoria Beckham was the only Spice Girl who couldn’t carry a tune.

  • Mary

    Won’t watch AI as long as tone deaf Victoria Dumbham is a judge

  • Lola

    I didn’t watch last year (school), but heard so much about lambert and saw him on you tube. He didn’t win, now paula is gone, whta’s the point. It’s no longer American Idol, but the British wish. Paul and Simon’s chemistry can be replaced and anyone who tries will come across as fake. They wanted her out because of she said about them not protecting her with the woman who killed herself. I had a feeling this was coming and now conformed. What’s up with the caucasian men getting raises, but not the female. She’s better off out and the public will sleak volumes. AI is doomed…

    • Brice

      According to entertainment magazine they offered Paula a 30% raise. Simon Cowell is the only caucasian male on the show

  • Lola

    Sorry, should have done spellcheck.

  • paz

    I know she’s only a guest judge, but Victoria Beckham? She was the one Spice Girl who never sang solo! With good reason!

  • Shell

    If anything, Idol should get past winners or runners-up to guest judge.

  • Fernando

    It’s humorous to watch EVERYONE bitch about Paula leaving, or Victoria judging etc. Paula left because she did. end of story. We shouldn’t dabble on the why’s or how come’s. It was her decision. Now as for everyone dogging Mrs. Beckham. I find it amusing when everyone starts attacking someone. Americans have always attacked the British for no reason other then being British. Why do you think people hated Simon for a long ass time. DUH!
    Give the woman a chance before you decide she is no good. idiots.
