omg.. no offence but this idiot is clearly just jealous. he hates american idol? im sure he does. since the idol judges are stars and he is a nobody. idol is the nr 1 show on TV, for 7 years now. nashville star.. doesnt even rank in top 100. clearly, nobody wants to see him or his co-judges. and about Paula.. she just made a mistake. shes only human. she is usually the one judge on Idol who really cares.

This incident has nothing to do with the rehearsal or Paula being 'confused,' as some people are trying to claim as excuses.
Here's her explanation from Ryan's radio show the next morning (when Paula presumably wasn't as 'confused' as she was Tuesday night:

- Paula: 'I was reading the critique of what I was writing for Jason Castro, and on the same page that I wrote, was also David's, and I got lost on my notes, and that's as simple as it was. I did catch the last minute of Jason Castro' (the rehearsal she watched on the monitor).
- Ryan: 'So what you are saying is, you were talking about two different people, but accidentally you said 'second song.' '
- Paula: 'Yes.'

Obviously it was not David Cook's note she was reading. 'I felt like your usual charm was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty. And the two songs made me feel like you're not fighting hard enough to get into the top 4,' as if David would have to “fight hard” for a spot there, but then she says David is 'fantastic' and she's looking at 'the next American Idol'?

C'mon. This is obviously a lie to cover up the fact that they have been trying to get rid of Jason for weeks now. I like Paula and she was just doing what she was told. Her only mistake was exposing this charade to the public.

He probably wouldn't have made it on American Idol if he'd tried! Knocking another show like he did shows a great lack of class - sounds like a hick from the sticks!

Sounds like an overblown ego talking!

THANK YOU JOHN! I am a Big & Rich fan and a Jason Castro fan. What Paula did was outrageous and inexcusable. The 3 judges on AI need to be odjective and have no agenda pushing. Paula needs to apologize to Jason as well as Brooke and Syesha for interchanging their names.
After I get Castro to the top I am done with AI. GOOD LUCK ON NASHVILLE STAR! I love 'Gone Country'.

Rich Who? Guess he's only known in the Country/Western venue - limited at best. What an egotistical pain - not a show I'd bother to watch.

John Rich was drinking from before noon until the end of auditions in Nashville, he brought singers from Broadway street who did not go through the regular audtions, he was rude and lost fans forever. Bye Bye John Rich. I bought Paulas CD but won't buy yours.

He's really into himself. A great way to acquire more fans - not!
