PAULA ABDUL is one of the most important judge of American Idol. Recently Nigel Lythgoe, the executive producer of American Idol said that PAULA ABDUL LEAVING 'AMERICAN IDOL'. He spoke to ET at the 100th episode party for "So You Think You Can Dance".
"I don't think we should give up yet," he tells ET. "Negotiations are a game. You want this; I want to give you that. You know what you will take at the end of the day. I know how far I can go. It is the same as buying a house, you just keep bantering away. At the end of the day, I think it is fair to say 'American Idol' needs Paula Abdul and Paula Abdul needs 'American Idol.' They sit very comfortably together. Neither one should feel that they have been pushed too far."
The show has been successful all over the world, including those countries where Simon Cowell is not a on the air.
"But when you get Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson together, they are an historic phenomenon," he adds. "Whenever 'American Idol' is mentioned, they will be named. Whenever anybody talks about game-changing shows … this show took FOX [out of] fourth place. When you look at that, that is how important Paula Abdul is in that whole matrix of the phenomenon. I hope they won't lose her."
Nigel also was basking in the success of "So You Think You Can Dance," which featured a song-and-dance performance by Katie Holmes on last night's 100th show celebration."So You Think You Can Dance" airs Wednesdays and Thursdays on FOX.
