Paula Abdul Wants Idol Back
The battle for Paula Abdul just seems to rage on and on. It has been nearly two weeks since Abdul took to her Twitter to say she was leaving American Idol. They weren’t willing to give her what she wanted for a new contract. A reported $10 million dollars.
This started a battle for the singer and dancer. So You Think You Can Dance wanted her to jump over and judge for them with maybe a chance for her to also help choreograph in the mix. Dancing With The Stars over on ABC also threw their name into the running, but it wasn’t clear if they wanted her as a judge or a contestant on the series. She could do either really well. Ugly Betty had even been tossed around as a possibility.
However, it looks like Paula Abdul wants to head back to American Idol. She is turning down everything it looks like. American Idol has been trying to fill the spot left by Paula, and it looks like Posh Spice Victoria Beckham was in the running to fill her shows, but Paula wants back. Will she be willing to drop down the amount she wanted from them for a new contract? Do you want her back on American Idol or are you glad she is gone?

im not watching idol without her. Idol as a show is Boring otherwise, the format is old. PAULA is the only person who keeps me interested since u never know what she will do next. without her, im over idol.
This is the time for Fox and Idol producers to show how smart they are by BRINGING PAULA ABDUL BACK TO IDOL!! She is the heart of the show more than Kara, Randy and even Simon!
yes we want her back … idol is NOT the same without paula !!
we dont want posh , we dont want kara … we WANT PAULA !!
fox pay her already !!
i NOT watching idol if they dont bring paula back !!
Paula didn’t bring much to the show. Telling people they sing in colors wasn’t helpful. sheesh
Not sure how she is supposed to dance in DWTS if her back is so bad that she needed all those drugs which made her comments so incoherent on Idol.
They should go back to three judges. Four judges had too much talking and not enough singing going on.
I think Paula should be back on Idol, and I created a website to make it happen
Sign the petition and a email will be sent to Fox!
