April 30, 2008 American Idol Scripted?
Update: According to People.com, Paula said her strange response to Jason Castro’s performance was an “honest mistake.” Abdul admits she’d written notes on both Castro and another performer on the same card, and in the end, was simply “confused” as she gave her feedback.
Love muffins, I was rolling with laughter after watching Paula read her comment about Jason Castro’s second performance that hasn’t even happened yet on live television. My tummy is hurting so hard right now! Jesus take the wheel! I knew that they actually performed before the live show, but I didn’t realized that it could be scripted! Thoughts?

Hi B….I was rolling when I saw it too. But, she actually said it about Jason Castro and not David Cook. I was pissed because she was reading it from notes…which is just crazy. I guess they want him to go next the comments were very negative. I happen to like Jason Castro he’s not a great singer but he has something special and sweet about the way he sings. I prefer someone genuine to a showboat (YOU HEAR ME ARCHULETA!!!)

There are a lot of things that are scripted – even videos on YouTube.

Scripted??? How about rigged??? I think producer Nigel Lythgoe writes ALL the judges comments for the shows he produces, including So You Think You Can Dance. How else to explain GLORIOUS Danny Tidwell not winning last season’s SYTYCD because Nigel wanted a female dancer to finally win!!!

I don’t think the show’s scripted. Paula, as usual, was just a little confused. Hopefully she’ll get it together. On another note, I’m sorry but I think Jason Castro has only made it this far in the competition because of his dreadlocks and pretty blue eyes – he cannot sing. I will be so upset if Brooke or Syesha go home and he makes it to the final four! Go David Archuleta and David Cook – my two faves!

I saw this and thought she was just confused, again. Of course they sing before the live show, rehearsal. I knew some of the stuff was fake like those signs that audience memebers hold were handed out as they come in, if u look they all seem like the same handwriting.
