Paula Abdul’s American Idol Mishap

The judge gets really confused over the shows contestants

Paula Abdul suffered something of a breakdown on US TV show American Idol last night when giving her opinion on the competitors.

Whilst judging contestant Jason Castro- one of the final five- she gave an opinion on two tracks she thought he had sung- when he had only performed one!

In a confused speech Paula rambled: "Jason, first song, I loved hearing your lower register, which we never really hear the second song- I felt like your usual charm was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty."

And despite strange looks from Castro and fellow judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson she continued: "The two songs made me feel like you're not fighting hard enough to get into the top four."

There have been repeated rumours that Abdul has a drugs or drink problem after erratic appearances on talk shows and at events.

Programme makers Fox have so far not commented on the blunder.
