David Sonenberg, Abdul's manager, raised concern over the weekend, telling the Los Angeles Times that the singer-dancer hasn't been offered a contract yet.

sfsomadude9I realize the slow demise of Idol is inevitable, but I still hope they are smart enough to keep Paula on the show. To me, she is about as integral to the show as Simon.report abuseposted July 20, 2009 2:17 PM PDT

jessicaI think it doesn't make since not to have paula on there. To be honest with u if it wasn't for paula and simon. I don't think the show would b a very big hit. I didn't like that fact that they added a new comer judge to the show. I like it when they would just bring them on the show for a show or 2 and they it would go back to being the 3 muskteers.
