I just want to hold these people and say, "Chillax, friends. It's only TV!" (Or mockingly say, "If you can't trust TV, who can you trust?!") I've read that the judges usually write most of their comments based on the dress rehearsal and she read ahead, and that's fine with me. Doesn't mean it's "fixed." Bottom line, Paula is human (maybe a crazier human than most, but most people don't have Platinum albums!) and American Idol is still entertaining to me, crazy Paula and all.

I keep telling these people, that that is insufficient evidence for a "fixed" competition. Paula has been known to come to the show high or drunk or otherwise drugged or in an altered state by some other means. Had those comments been made by anyone else, I could see the argument. But from Paula? This is really just par for the course.
