Will you still watch?

i'll still watch its not like i watch cause of paula. i like that their is raw talent and many auditions are funny as hell and their are many inspirational stories.no offense but most of the time when paula tries to talk she studders too much.

I totally agree with you and Yes I like her as a judge on the show, Yes I like her and liked her before this show and NO I WON'T BE WATCHING WITHOUT PAULA THERE. It won't be the same show. Plus I feel sorry for the contestants they won't have anyone on their side showing heartfelt compassion for them.

I am honestly not a real big fan of American Idol. I watched the first season all the way through, as it was a brand new type of show that was really good, and to see Keely Clarkson win was just a phenomenol experience. I wasn't as into the other seasons, although I always enjoyed the try-outs, as I am sure many people did, seeing the goofy people and their so called talents. I didn't know Paula was leaving the show until I saw the post here on Mylot. I think she did offer great compassion, and counteracted Simon's rudeness often, to keep many contestents from feeling like total failures. I am sure many people will miss her, and the ratings may very well go down with her absence.
