I bet after my writer’s block last week, you didn’t think I would do it.
But ha! Non-believers, I shun you! Shun, shun, shun!
Idol will fail and we all know it. No Paula, no Idol.
I will NOT be watching, and neither will my mother and her friends. Who, just in case you didn’t know, have attended to many American Idol concerts via the season tours.

The original 3
She was one of the three original judges and is synonymous with the brand. You think American Idol, you think Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul.

The opium-LSD infested trips will come to a not-so-amusing halt.
Not going to lie – the Paula who seemed like she was on the same stuff as the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland was very amusing.
You just had to watch – to see what would happen next.
The rambling, her making up her own words…but you must admit, through it all, she’s just so darn cute!
You can’t help but love her!

Okay, so I don’t know about you – but I know about me, my cousins (who were also ballerinas) and a few of my contemporary dance friends…
When we were 8-years old, some of us were mimicking the moves of the Forever Your Girl Straight Up!
And when we heard our dancing idol from our childhood was on this show called American Idol – she was the ONLY reason we (initially) tuned in.
So while, we’ve come to enjoy (or hurl) the “dwag” pound and snicker together with the snarky British man – if the reason we started watching leaves the show I guarantee you, we will leave too.
She has, and we have. So said, so done (btw, the video above is of Paula teaching Janet Jackson to dance. Just so you know.)

Co-co-co-cold Hearted Ooh-Ah-Ooh-Ahh!
Fond memories of Season 1 y’all, watching Nikki McKibbin, Kelly Clarkson and Justin –what’s-his-face, singing and dancing to the number ones of the former Laker Girl.
Yea, did you know she had six number one hits?

The outfits
She’s like American Idol Barbie. Always dolled up to the max, sometimes she looks like a doll…going to the prom…wearing what a 17-year old should… But yes, we LOVE her for that.
Paula’s never been afraid to be herself.

The dancing
She’s 48-years old and kicks it back better than half of the Millennial kids I know. When she proved that to us, once again, last season – it was like watching Cher or Madonna: we know they age, but they never get old.
They stay in shape and they just reiterate to us time and time again, why we love them.

Kara.
She’s not Paula.
If you think she holds a candle just because she sorta-stripped at the season finale in 2009, you are sadly mistaken.
That’s all.

The end of Saula
The Snarky Ken and Dancing Barbie are officially breaking up and I’m sad.
No more public tickling moments, no more drawing on each other’s faces, endless making out and enough “hidden” sexual chemistry to blow up Los Angeles making it an island.
Sadness.
We’ll miss you Miss Abdul.
Goodbye, American Idol — hello cable & DVDs
