In a recent interview, Paula Abdul reminisced about her experiences as the sole female judge on 'American Idol' from 2002-2009, highlighting the challenges she faced, particularly in dealing with Simon Cowell. Despite the difficulties, she emphasized her appreciation for fellow judge Randy Jackson's support. Abdul also shared her admiration for current judge Carrie Underwood, commending her journey from contestant to superstar and her impressive career trajectory. Underwood's impact on 'American Idol' was celebrated, including Simon Cowell's past predictions about her success.
"Being the only woman on the panel, I had to overcome the guy on the left of me. Starts with a 'S' and ends with 'imon'...at least I had Randy to the right of me."
"Carrie has an unbelievable advantage, having come from her humble beginning of being on the show...She was such a magnificent artist, as a contestant, and she's gone on to have the most stellar career."
