She needs to go.

I’ll do it for 5 millions and save them some money!!! I am funnier than Randy Jackson, and I am a classically trained singer and musician. I will throw down with Randy for his job! Let’s go!!!

She’s not going anywhere.

Randy and JLo are just a bunch of praisers – you need people like Iovine to do the biting, hence his portion on AI. Why can’t any of these 3 overpaid judges just bite the nail and be blunt about it?

Y’all are forgetting one major thing: she hasn’t been offered a contract to remain.

Which is why she put it out there that she might leave first. The Brits that run these show’s are notoriously nasty, and quite stupid when it comes to these panel judge shows, see cowell, Simon. It could be, she was worried that they would replace her. The most important thing to remember is that boring talent in a given year will make for a bad low rated show, no matter how good or bad the panel judges on air are. However, great talent, like this year’s idol, AND A great panel, which I think j.lo. Randy and Stephen are, will push the entire show to the next level and give it ginormous ratings. They’d be fools to ditch j.lo, and not give her what she wants. The people that ended up on the show, is talent she had a hand in picking. She deserves some credit. Conversely, Simon cowell hiring Britney ‘y’all Spears and demi lovato (huh?) trying to ‘fix’ the X-Factor is laughable. Spears, when not stripping and dancing, is not a compelling person to watch sit in a chair and try to talk. She’s a bore. It was true when she was 21, so of course it’s even truer 10 years later. In other words, YAWN. Similarly, Lovato, whom more people know because of her recent rehab stint, is similarly afflicted..she was a supporting player on a kid show, and now she’s a lackluster performer, in other words WHO CARES? The point, is that cowell put on an awful stagey bit if fakery with the x-factor. At the outset when he engaged in that fraudulent bit of theater with Melanie Amaro he lost half his audience. No one believed he’d take one of the bigger talents and send her packing before the show even got rolling, and then the surprise visit to her home…Amaro had to be in on it, because if she wasn’t in on the fakery, that was just cruel to do to her for ratings – and it would be yet another good reason not to watch x-factor. Add to that the overblown Vegas like huge stage show productions with garish effects and 101 dancers flitting about on every number, and you realize these artists, save one or two, the rappers, didn’t know who they wanted to be, and you got the feeling even if they did, Simon would have overruled their ideas. American idol this year was the best talent show on air, the talent, though young, knew who they were, what they wanted, and you could easily see their career paths by watching them perform. I have no doubt the top 5 will have amazing careers. Idol let them be, their performances were scaled down, intimate, and jaw dropping. The judges had an eye for talent. Simon cowell could learn something from his old show. I won’t be watching his new one. I felt lied to and manipulated by that big cheesy production, and then, remarkably, the only grounding, down to earth believable thing he had going, Paula and Nicole, the only females, he gives the boot to. Replacing them with younger, infinitely more boring models. Boooooooooooooo Simon, Boooooo!! Oh, and Idol better bring J.Lo back.

Please stay. She has the experience to tell these people how to improve. She has been turned down before and knows what she is talking about. So what if she’s not Simon Cowell? Maybe she doesnt feel comfortable being harsh like that to people, I know I am. It might make her feel bad to be rude to people and tell them they suck. Give her a break

these chicks way better than j-lo! http://mpidyong.tumblr.com/
