Check out the video at the bottom.

I have several questions about what exactly went on:

Was Paula reading from pre-fab comments that she prepared from rehearsals?

Was Paula reading from pre-fab comments that someone else prepared for her, based on rehearsals?

Was Paula reading from comments that someone else or she prepared to read regardless of the actual song sung?

Is this the way the judges (or, specifically, Paula) comments on everyone, every week (ie: by having someone else write her comments in advance, regardless of what the performance may be like)…(that would explain a lot)?

Or, as her defenders will likely point out, and as she scrambled to say before they cut off her mike, was she just reading the notes on the next performance?  (I have trouble believing this because of her  excalamtion that “ohmigod I thought you sang twice?” and the fact that later on, her review of David Cook’s first song, which would presumably be next on her comment sheet, was good, and what she read was bad.  And her comment on the as yet unsung second Jason Castro song was in line with what Randy and Simon would say later on.)

Finally, is this the faux pas that finally gets Paula fired?  How many times can she say or do idiotic things that embarass herself and the show, or, you know, be plainly drunk on the air, until she loses her job?

See for yourself, and let me know what you think in the comments:
