Patti Labelle Says Some 'American Idol' Judges Aren't Qualified

R&B legend Patti Labelle says some American Idol judges aren't qualified.

R&B legend Patti Labelle told it like it really is about "American Idol." She said, in an interview with the Associated Press, that some "American Idol" judges aren't qualified to judge. I wonder who her comments were directed at? Ms. Labelle declined to identify the judge(s) with whom she took offense. I find it hard to believe it would be Randy Jackson or Simon Cowell. Could it be Ellen DeGeneres, who has NO experience in the music business? Simon Cowell has been very mean to contestants and I have to wonder if her comments were directed at him. Ms. Labelle was very upset about the nastiness of some of the judge's comments. She said, “the comments that were made, they could make you, like, want to kill yourself.”“If you believe in yourself, just go for it,” she said of her advice. “What do you have to lose? And when people tell you, ‘You can’t,’ you have to say, ‘I can.'" Amen sister! Patti Labelle is a class act and I am glad she told them like it really is!
