Paula Abdul Loses It… Badly…

Last night was Neil Diamond night on Idol (WOOHOO!) and each contestant got to sing two songs. The plan, originally, was that the judges wouldn’t comment on the first round of songs and instead give a more complete critique after the second song of both.

After everyone performed the first round, Ryan brought all the contestants out onto the stage and asked the judges what they thought.

Remember… At this point, they’ve only performed one song.

Video below…

(Video replaced with Youtube vid for easiness sake; if it disappears, I’ll make other plans)

I don’t know what was going on with her, but not only did she get wrong the number of songs, she had a complete set of harsh criticism to go along with the second song Castro never performed!

Wow. Just wow.

I could see if she just said “Oh, I meant my second critique, not the second song,” but she did herself no favors when she said, “I thought you sang twice!”

Cringeworthy.

    I’d love to watch this, but Quicktime won’t play it – says I need an Xvid plug-in or something? There are limits to how many hoops I’ll jump through to view content – now that Flash 9 supports h.264, it looks *good*, and I hope people will use it as the standard format for inline video…

    Funny, the soon as it happened, Ginat and I paused and started losing it! Then she said “I bet Vinny’s gonna have a field day with this”. Also, there was another Abdul Anomaly… she said “Brooke” when addressing Syesha. I went back and listened to it a couple of times to make sure she wasn’t saying “look”. I’m fairly certain.

    I’m also fairly certain she’s out of her mind. I love how Simon sort of just skipped over her, once it was clear she was nuts. Maybe she dozed off and realized she missed stuff, and just commented on what she saw in rehearsal?

    They actually do a dress rehearsal prior to the show. I’ve heard that the judges sometimes write notes down after hearing the rehearsals so that they don’t have to come up with stuff later.

    It was said that she had notes on the second song she heard during rehearsal and that’s what she was commenting with.

    Either way she’s a dumb ass bitch. She’s damn lucky to be on that show collecting a paycheck. I can’t watch her much less listen to hear dribble BS.

    Rye,

    I picked up on that one too, but I wasn’t sure enough to post it ;-)
