Paula Abdul Lets the Cat Out of the Bag

Or maybe she was just just “in the bag”. Either way, she goofed up big time on the supposedly live airing of last night’s American Idol. In case you missed it, here is what happened. Down to five people, each contestant sang TWO songs from Neil Diamond last night. Instead of the judges critiquing each performance, everyone sang once, and then the judges were to give a quick summary of everyone’s performance. When it was Paula’s turn, she commented on BOTH of Jason Castro’s songs even though he only sang once! This lead to all kinds of theories about American Idol being fixed, the live shows are a hoax, etc. etc. Here is the video…judge for yourself.

Here is MY theory of what really happened. For the most part, American Idol is NOT live. In fact, the only thing that NEEDS to be live is the results show. What I think happened is each singer went out there and sang both their songs. The producers then asked the judges to comment on them separately and they would splice the reviews in at the appropriate time in the show. If you listen carefully, Simon even makes a comment about how bizarre the show was last night. What was so bizarre Simon? Nothing to us. Maybe it was bizarre to you because the producers asked you to do shit out of order. Hmmm???
