Is Paula Abdul indispensable on American Idol? (Poll Closed)

the best argument for keeping paula is that if she does leave, they may decide to keep kara! NoOoOoOoOoOoO.............

Here is my Kara DioGuardi moment:

Here's the thing, Paula is 10x the person Kara will ever be.

I don't love Paula, but she is a staple there, right? And she loved Danny and Adam so how bad can she be? Keep Paula! She's better than Kara, I agree with you!

Keep Paula! She has fans that will stop watching the show if she does not come back this year! The old saying fits...Don't fix what is not broken!

Ellery- hey Ellery I was formerly known as Jesus Christ and we missed you at our poll conversations. We are on the Twitter poll if you want to join us.

Hi Jesthena the former JC! ck also invited me but for whatever reason, my server does not offer me old polls, only the polls that show up on Rickey's home page and sometimes it is the most recent poll and sometimes it is one from a week or two weeks back. I will keep trying. Look out for me over there!

I'll do it for $5,000,000 and I'll even pop pain pills and get drunk right before I go on!

Marc you are very funny! I cannot get to any of the old polls. Could someone, Jesus Christ or Jesthena , post a URL?

I didn't care for Kara that much this past season - she should go. Paula is a flake, but it seems we're all use to her.... so keep Paula!!! Give her Kara's salary as a bonus if the issue is over money. Marc - you ARE funny!!!!

paula is so the best and my favorite.kara sucks and if she comes back i will not watch. keep paula!

Paula is without a doubt the most worthless judge I have ever seen. It’s obvious she has no back bone to tell it like it is. Instead she always has to please the audience and kiss up to the contestants instead of critique them without bias. Her almost perverted interest in some contestants is unacceptable and dancing as if she were a fan and not a judge is sickening. I say get rid of her and get a real judge. The Paula can feel free to come as a spectator and dance all she wants.

But Larry, how seriously do we take this show? Do we REALLY need REAL judges? C'mon! It's all for fun. Do we even udnerstand what Paula says? It's funny...it's entertainment...it's not serious. Randy and Kara suck just as much and are just as difficult to understand. Yes, we need a translator when Paula goes off on her tangent, yes she acts like a 16 year old groupie, yes she is a dim wit. But, I for one, love her. GO PAULA!

One of the main things that makes Idol Idol is the snarky/sexual tension/childish relationship between Paula and Simon- Hello! Coloring book and crayons?! SO funny! Paula HAS to stay on the show, it is ridiculous to imagine doing the show with out her!

The one good thing about Kara is that I hated her so much she actually made me love Paula!
