I have to say I think they were smart with not renewing Paula's contract. Does everyone remember the one girl contestant who had stalked Paula, and then auditioned for the show and ended up committing suicide outside of Paula's home? After this incident Paula said she was returning to the show last year only because she had to because of her contract, and she hated the way the studio handled this by letting the poor girl audition. So Paula said it herself she didn't want to come back. Also lets go over her behavior: she claimed to have an addiction to prescription medication in a magazine interview then later said she didn't, she looked completely mentally unstable in her reality show 'Hey Paula, and her behavior on American Idol has been completely erratic over the years. Are we really surprised she wasn't asked back to American Idol?

I believe she showed in one episode that the judges have predefined judgements for the contestants. She criticized a song that she had not even heard the contestant perform and then claimed that the rushed format was what made her hallucinate and think that he had sung a second song. The next day the only thing being said was 'AI is rigged'. The judges are going to be biased. They can't help it, everyone is biased. But a judge is supposed to try and be fair and that episode showed that she couldn't be fair. I have to admit she is one of the reasons I watch the show as I love to watch train wrecks on TV, but, I also believe the show would be more fairly judged without her.
