Tweet #5 – I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.

This could, of course, all be part of a ploy to scare the producers into giving her a better deal.  If it is true, I’m going to be really sad.  They’ve renewed Kara DioGuardi’s contract so maybe they had planned to push Paula out?  Whatever the case, I don’t think that Paula should leave.  Sure, there’s been lots of speculation over her possible departure but I thought execs said she could stay on the show “however long it lasts.”

This is the second judge in as many days to leave an Idol show (Kyle Sandilands was fired from Australian Idol).  What do you think?

Guess discussions never really went anywhere. I’m sure the Idol producers wouldn’t let much action take place with Chris actively on the show. However, since Chris was suprisingly voted off on Tuesday night, Fuel’s bassist, Jeff Abercrombie stated the following on the TV show “Extra”.

‘Chris, if you are watching, we`ve talked about this before, and if you want to entertain it again we`ll take it and go,’ Abercrombie said.

I think this is a great opportunity for Chris if he’s interested. However, I’ve had a friend that tried out for Idol and she said you wouldn’t believe the contractual agreements you have to commit to if you make it to even be a finalist. The producers basically have control over any career you have in the industry until they release you from the contract. Looks like this will be an interesting American Idol sub-plot to keep up with.

Thanks Ben for the heads-up.
