Ryan sad to see Paula leave Idol
Paula Abdul broke the news that she’s leaving American Idol via twitter:
PaulaAbdul: With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon. What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.
Ryan reacted with shock and sadness and can’t imagine the panel without Paula:
RyanSeacrest: about to go to sleep when I started seeing my blackberry blow up. I have read what u have read and I am shocked and saddened about paula. Idol and the cast have grown with each other over the last 8 seasons..I can’t imagine the panel without puala. She’s a star @ a great friend. Spoke to randy..hope to speak with paula privately overnight.
It’s a shame to see the core of the AI family break apart. While I’ve never rated Paula as a critic, I like the warmth she brings to the show and her wild enthusiasm when she feels an Idol really delivered. Mostly, I’ll miss her interaction with Simon. It’s funny watching him giggling like a school boy and although he has a good rapport with the girls on The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, Paula seems to bring out the worst best worst in him. Who’s Simon going to torment if Paula isn’t there? (Ryan, probably).
It was announced last week that Kara DioGuardi will return for another season.
