Bo Bice thinks American Idol is making a big mistake

Bo Bice, who was the runner-up on American Idol a few years ago, says that FOX shouldn't let Paula Abdul go because she's part of what makes the show great .

To be fair to the other judges on the show, Bice does say that if they got rid of either Randy or Simon it would be equally devastating. I don't quite think this is true of Jackson, Paula and Simon really are the heart of the show (along with Ryan Seacrest).

Bice says that getting rid of Paula would be like getting rid of Joey on Friends. That the show wouldn't have been a hit without him. Now, we can argue that point I guess because there were six major characters on that show. If Joey had left the show halfway through, would that show have been as good as it was, especially in those middle seasons when it was at its best?

Funny how out of all of the characters on Friends to compare to Paula, he picks the dumbest one.
