"American Idol" fans campaign for Paula Abdul to keep her as judge on show


"American Idol" fans campaign for Paula Abdul to keep her as judge on show. "American Idol" fans have launched a grass-roots campaign to keep Paula Abdul as a judge on the No. 1-rated U.S. television show after her manager said she had not received a new contract proposal and might leave the singing contest.

Former "Idol" contestants joined in the #keepaula campaign on Twitter and American Idol Internet forums. Abdul -- a mainstay of the show since 2002 -- took to her own Twitter page to thanks fans for their support.
