American Idol was an instant success. The hit reality show will soon begin its eighth season, but it won’t start without a big bang. This past week has been filled with talk of Paula Abdul’s interviews with Good Morning America and The View and the questions asked about her future with the show.
Recently, a fan of Paula’s who had been stalking her for years killed herself in front of Paula’s home. Paula insists that producers of the show put her in harm’s way when they allowed the stalker fan to audition in front of Paula.
Abdul says that she asked the producers of the show not to allow the fan in the same room with her but her request was denied.
Paula has also alleged that Simon is responsible for making her look crazy and drunk on the show. Her defense is that Simon is always talking in her ear and distracting her from making a complete thought. Questions have loomed over whether or not Paula will continue the show and her response has been that she is still under contract. Speculation is that she will not renew her contract and this will be her last year.
Personally, I feel sympathetic towards Paula. She is going through a very difficult time right now and it sounds like she is very frustrated with the show. I love the show, but I think everyone would agree that it won’t be the same without the “original three” – Paula, Simon and Randy.

I feel this is a horable situation and I feel bad for Paula. The fact that the network did not help her in anyway is ridiculous. It is the networks fault that she had that stalker. good job on the analysis!
