cjfrazz (8:23 AM 6/5/2007): If Brtitney is in I won't watch anymore and the show will end up going DOWN............Anyway, Randy and Paula still have time left on their contracts.

Nick (8:24 AM 6/5/2007): I havent enjoyed American Idol at all this year, so I tuned it out. To replace the gang woould be a shame. They make a good comedy team. But as far as Britteney goes, Shame on all of you that trash her. Yes, she has talent, yes she has used it shamelessly in the last few years, but maybe she is lost or hurt real bad. To bombard her with worthless comments and say these nasty things about her; show your true heart, jealousness or are you judging. YOu folks talk about Christians judging and you seem a lot worse. You need to get some passion in your lives.

Theresa (8:27 AM 6/5/2007): You guys are so hilarious, believing everything you read. I could see firing Paula and putting another female singer in her place, but not Britney. Paula offers nothing constructive to the show whatsoever other than babbling and crying fits, but Britney could not be a good replacement. First, Brit's dumber than a post. Second, she makes Paula's alleged substance abuse problems look like a walk in the park. I could see Jewel or somebody else stepping into Paula's place, but I doubt Fox would fire her. She creates a good buzz around the show. Now, I don't think Randy would be fired; he'd have to leave the show himself if he wants to. He comes up with good catch phrases, and he does say meaningful things more often than Paula could ever dream to. While Simon is very important to the show, I think that if Randy was gone, the "YO Factor" would be too. When the show started, Randy seemed kinda useless, but he's grown a lot.

P PREVITE (9:50 PM 6/7/2007): It's ridiculous! Simon, of course, is irreplaceable,
but you need Randy and Paula to balance him out. The dynamic the 3 of them have is what makes the show. Poor Britney Spears is struggling to even maintain at this point. If the producers really did that, the show would be over. She would be extremely unreliable at this point in her life. Randy has alot of experience in producing and Paula was a singer/dancer for a very long time. Granted, what she says is sometimes kind of spacy, but I really think if the producers mess with the chemistry of the show, that will be it for AI

Yvonne (8:32 AM 6/5/2007): American Idol would not be the same without Randy, Paula and Simon together as a team. Who in the world would watch Britney Spears? I wonder if she could even remain alcohol or drug free long enough to do a show. I would simply not watch American Idol with anyone other than Randy, Paula and Simon. That's just my take on the matter.

d to the holla (8:34 AM 6/5/2007): People people please. leave brit alone. That girl needs to retire from the music business, clean up her life, and become an advocate for young stars and starlettes on how to prevent the paparazzi from taking control over their lives. Laws need to be created keeping the paparazzi away from these celebrities lives. you all know in your hearts that britney would not be as messed up as she is if it weren't for all the press surrounding her. imagine yourself in her shoes, then imagine that only 25% of what you hear is only 25% accurate but have no control over it what so ever. Imagine how you'd feel. Britney needs to find a way for herself to find seclusion. many celebs have done it, and are currently doing it. look at Demi moore for instance. it is possible to be left alone during your private life. and who cares if she ends up guest judging AI? you think paula had any better of a stance? AI has become a joke now anyway so why not put like david hasselhoff up there along with britney and then throw in a little carole king for true talent purposes. either that, or just get three registered sex offenders up there just for shitz and giggles lol

Bobby From Maco Island (8:35 AM 6/5/2007): You know, I think that if the executives at American Idol, thought the show was going to be such a hit, they would have thought real hard on who they chose for judges. Simon Cowell was the chosen, no doubt about that; but the other two? Just look at the first season, when Seacrest had a co-host, who decided to leave thinking the show was going no where? I bet, he's kicking himself thinking that he pulled another Shelly Long? In any event both judges will be back! Like someone said, don;t believe any thing you read in the "Enquire" It's all about selling papers~

Marti (8:35 AM 6/5/2007): I have no problem with Paula or Randy. People take this whole show much too seriously.

grace (8:36 AM 6/5/2007): You must be kidding, what a way to ruin the show more.

angela (8:42 AM 6/5/2007): I have been watching the show since season 1,and have currently watched AI Rewind.It shows that the show has increasingly changed over the years.most for the good, however,should the panel start to change, I do believe that it would be the end for american idol. Paula has some problems, thats obvious,but without the orginal 3.it wouldnt be the same..this year by far has been the worst.maybe the excitement has fizzled out,the talent has become harder to find and the good ones being voted off .maybe the idol craze is about over. I lost faith in it when Chris was booted off last season.. HE WAS THE AMERICAN IDOL of last year.But look at HIM NOW!!! if the producers want to fire and then hire(brittany) I guess they are sinking their own ship.Brittany has flipped and we do not need her advice on anything,she still needs help , and lots of it.

Valinda Jensen (8:40 AM 6/5/2007): if they bring Spears on I will stop watching Idol

Edna King (8:53 AM 6/5/2007): YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING

terrie (8:43 AM 6/5/2007): IF this is true I won't be watching

ladonna (9:10 AM 6/5/2007): I can't understand why people are so hostile about Paula, She is beautiful, has more talent than 10 people, She suffers from RSD, terribly painful, and takes lots of meds to try to be normal. love her and leave her where she is!

denise (8:52 AM 6/5/2007): american idol ought to get marie osmond and little richard to host idol with simon marie and little richard hosted the celeberty deuts last summer and they did a grea t job............

GreenEyesShy (9:00 AM 6/5/2007): What a damn shame. I enjoy watching AI mostley because of the Judje's. I actually find Randy Paula and Simon more entertaing then the contestants.I guess if they feel the need to bring in someone Like Spears I can always watch something else, better yet read the damn Marinette Gazzete That would be more entertaing then watching a loser Judge another Loser. And By the way, Dont cha all really think Blake had a varitey of Talent? Jordan was just that same old same, same old. One style of music. Id like to see her try some hip hop or rap (NOT!)

Rohan (8:52 AM 6/5/2007): Well I have to say that this year has to be the worst AI season ever.With Sanjayas hairdo's,Paula's meltdown tape/drunkeness,and Antonella's nude pics.I really think that AI is starting to cool down.But for what its worth I can't stand Randy's repetitive comments like,"Yo dawg that song was awesome but it was a little bit pitchy,a little bit pitchy",I think he said this quote every time during the top 12;plus Paula seemed out of it this season.

Don (8:57 AM 6/5/2007): I think Randy and Simom are the two more honest Judges. Paula rarely gives any real input. She is afraid to hurt someone's feeling. Brittini can't judge talent because she has not talent. Even if she did she has no credibility. Who would really listen??

j.o. (8:54 AM 6/5/2007): oh god...dont you need talent to judge talent so that should leave brittany out...im so sick of the no talent , no class, chick being in the spot lite, the next time she should be in the paper is when they take those children away from her like she would ever know it since she appartenly forgot shes there mother,,,

Lynn (8:55 AM 6/5/2007): If you think the ratings are down now for American Idol. Just put a low life drunk, druggie as a judge. You will have people boycotting this show. What freakin idiot would want Briney Spears as a role model. She's a horrible mother, wife, and person. American Idol will need all the luck they can get just to stay on the air. If she's in I'm out.
