ever since the show dropped Brian Dunkleman after season 1 (i know…you’re thinking, Brian who?), the formula has been the same. Ryan Seascret as host. and Randy, Paula and Simon as the three judges. This season, however, they are going to change it up a bit.
They are adding a fourth judge to the mix
“We are turning the heat up on ‘Idol’ this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara DioGuardi to the judges’ table,” said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. “She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America’s most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show.”
“We had originally intended for AMERICAN IDOL to have four judges,” said executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz. “We’ve seen from our international series that having a fourth judge creates a dynamic that benefits both the contestants and the viewers.”
the new season of American Idol starts this January.

When I read this my first thought was, “So THIS is how they’re going to get rid of Paula.” haha Not sure how I feel about the change, maybe it will be what it takes to finally make me quit watching the dang show.

Watch out Paula. We thought she looked out of it before.
