Amazing rack... shame...

This makes me sick....The people who go on the show are told that they will be critisized and even if they arent....they should no form watching the shoe.....If they dont watch the show and participate anyway it is there fault

this is ridiculously depressing! paula better haunt simon's dreams as she looks down from the heavens! she deserved to be treated better! judges arent supposed to judge on personality, they should be judging on their singing so for simon to criticize her braces was just plain wrong! so she couldnt sing, BIG F******* DEAL! the judges should have critqued her. maybe if they were nicer to her she wouldn't be dead now! they stripped her of her dignity and self-confidence and they managed to kill her in the process!
Rest in peace Paula Goodspeed! :(

You miss 1:58 or should I call Ms Perfect who knows it all.This girl did have problems and could not carry a tune but that is not an excuse to belittle her and make her feel bad. It is you who need help to get a clue. Do people sit there and put you down for something you have done wrong. Do they look for every flaw on you?
It is not only this girl but other people they put down on that show. It is the media that wants to pick the people they want you to idolize and if it not the right one they treat you as they did her. It is cold people like you that make this a sick place. Learn compassion and you might be surprised that it will make you a better person. They were criticizing her for not only her singing but her braces and her clothes also. They were mocking her throughout the whole audition,. They already labeled her and new what they thought of her when she went in because of her sketches of Abdul. What about the guy who did a sand sculpture of Obama that was like two miles long. Did he have problems, was he so obsessed he needed help? What about the guy who made a gold statue of that model kate? Why could they not have encourage this girl in working on it to get better. She was obviously an artist and very talented not to mention she had a lot of character. This girl did nothing to hurt Abdul and I think if she would have known what kind of person she really was she would not have been so obsessed with her.

Please people. She was picked on and made fun of??? American Idol is a talent show that you put yourself in front of the public to be judged. She knew exactly what she was getting into. People who wrote that she want taunted and bullied are naive. You'd better know that she was not made to feel a freak or a loser. From her performance she clearly had not what it takes to be an American Idol. Wake up from your fantasies people. It's sad when someone dies but no normal human would take her life for a total stranger like a movie star, in this case, Paula Abdul. This is totally abnormal behaviour. And this woman clearly was having psychiatric problems. If you are trying to defend her you are clearly in danger as having the same consequenses as she did. Seek counseling before it's too late.

i'm not trying to be rude to anyone, but when someone in your family just freaking died you dont want to hear people talking S***, especially when you do not personally know her. now if you can sit here and talk about someone who died, you deserve everything that happens bad in your life. people are people. if it was your daughter, sister, mother, cousin or just good friend, it would be a total different story. so grow up!!!!!!!!

Why did they feel they had to put her down? Why? They didn't have to that is why.
They looked for everything they could on her from her braces to her clothes. It was not about that, she came in to sing and they managed to strip that from her to.

It took courage for this girl to go audition there. Especially because Abdul was there and she wanted to meet her. She told them she was nervous and instead of making her feel comfortable they jumped on her like a bunch of piranhas. Instead of Abdul being flattered that someone thought so highly of her she make her feel like a freak or a loser and had not talent. This girl spent a long time idolizing her and from what I could see in the way she treated her, it is beyond me why she idolized someone like Abdul.
There has been instances to where these people send people over the edge. For instance the young girl on the internet who killed herself because someone was taunting her on the internet making her feel worthless. And a young 5 year old boy who killed himself because boys in the back of the bus not only taunted him but raped him. What about the bullies who taunt the shooters in these schools and push them over the edge. When is the bullying going to stop? When?
We live live in a very insecure world this day in age and people put other people down to make themselves look better which shows exactly how insecure they really are.
People have feelings and you should treat them as you want to be treated.

Listen up people because I am going to be telling you in a bit what it is, as it sounds like you all need a lesson on this who think that it was not the judges fault.

It is NEVER anyone else's fault if someone CHOOSES to take their own life. EVER! I am sure the judges feel horrible, but it is NOT their fault. They are doing their job that YOU tune in to see! Paula, Randy,and Simon are human and though they may have made fun of her...God rest her soul...they did not kill her.

This situation is really sad and tragic, but out of all the celebrities to be obsessed with - Paula Abdul?? Really??

I knew there would be tons of people on here boo-hooing about how sad this is and getting all pissed at the judges, but seriously get over it. It's not their problem she was a total psycho, and it's not ours either. This country could use one less welfare-living, unhinged drug addict.

Wow that was so sad. The poor thing was a little unbalanced to begin with, but they should really not mock people; it's rude, arrogant, and annoying. But regarding the comment on artists: It takes more than expression. It also takes discipline and hard work. And to be more than just a synthetic pop star also takes some honesty and insight.

This girl had talent as an artist. And an artist from what I have seen all goes hand in hand with singing, or playing an instrument an so on. It is freedom of expression and she had lots of it as you can see in the way she dressed and in her art work. Lots of people who do make it in the singing industry can't even carry a note without music in the background or in a studio with equipment. You judges are sick and we all live in a sick world to see people belittled and other people getting enjoyment out of it.

Poor girl. We think she went in there to see Paula. This is why God said not to idolize. It was wrong of the judges to put her down in the way they did because they don't have to do that. They should encourage them to practice and should have said they don't think she is ready yet for the stage. Not to put them down to be made to feel lesser than or like a freak for trying and laughing at them the whole time. These judges are cruel beyond believe and as someone else said "inhumane". They should not be there in that show judging anyone because they don't know how to make people feel good about themselves when they can't sing. I as well as other people I know have never watched the show because of the cruelty of it all.
