Victoria Beckham was underwhelming in her one time stint as an “American Idol” guest judge during the tryouts. Even though Posh often comes across as sort of… um, flat and dull and lacking personality, she can actually be pretty damn funny when she relaxes and lets loose. Which admittedly isn’t often. I had high hopes that the insane nature of the show would bring out some of her quips, but apparently she reverted to Wooden Spice and just sort of sat there as a bland piece of décor.
Everyone agreed that Victoria Beckham looked lovely as she showed up for her first day of work Friday as an “American Idol” guest judge. But that apparently is where the compliments stop.
“It didn’t go too well,” a source close to the production told RadarOnline.com exclusively. Posh Spice was apparently quite bland.
“She tried to hard to be ‘nice,’ but came off as icy and wooden,” the source added.
Do you hear that Paula Abdul? Yes, we too are wondering if all the guest judges are terrible will that get Paula the pay raise necessary to bring her back?
RadarOnline.com also hear that lots of the contestants who auditioned were deeply disappointed by Paula’s absence (some saying it while cameras rolled). One person connected to show also was overheard saying two British judges were too much.
In that case, we think we’ll keep Simon!

Paula managed to be nice, but even she had a limit. She was pretty obvious in her sympathy for some of the more pathetic contestants, and while a lot of people would bitch about it, it was also one of her more endearing qualities. But when someone was just all-out awful and not getting it, she could make that clear. I mean she did it nicely – but who isn’t nice compared to Simon Cowell? And her friction with him made for some interesting banter. Posh can be really funny, but it’s super random and rare. The ability is there, though, and I was hoping she’d surprise everyone and whip it out. American Idol may not be what it used to be, but you’ve still got to bring your A game. Sounds like this will probably be a one-time gig for Victoria.

When I saw the headline, I thought that Victoria Beckham was saying that American Idol was icy and wooden, which seemed like odd adjectives to pick no matter how you feel about the show. However, I can believe that she was described as icy and wooden, because that’s how she seems to me.

She’s an alien blow-up doll, Bill.

Ah that is disappointing. I loved her in the one interview I saw with her on Leno. She was funny, had a lovely smile, and was engaging. Too bad she couldn’t bring that part of herself to the Idol crowd, because if she had, she’d probably be asked back. Oh well.

Strange, she was really nice in most interviews I’ve seen of her. Mind you, I’ve not seen her in an interview for aaaaages. She once slagged off Naomi Campbell, which makes her allright in my book (ok, so they “made up” afterwards, but you know that didn’t last).

I second what Bill Hicks is God said. (I loved the comic Bill Hicks, btw – still listen to him all the time on CD.)
Sticktoria couldn’t be more bland.

The evil child inside me just wants to follow her around, randomly poking her with a finger to watch her wobble and fall off those shoes. Damn, but she’s gone from willowy to brittle!

Wow! Posh, wooden and cold? Imagine that?!

It’s a shame, because she’s actually incredibly funny and charming when she takes the stick out of her arse. But for some reason (eating disorder, I’d imagine) she INSISTS on maintaining this icy, uptight facade. She obviously thinks it works. It’s a shame she can’t be more like the Posh she is when she chills out a bit (I swear, she’s actually cool when she chills a bit!

Hello?! She always looks “icy” and “wooden” – she is a talentless, thick-as-pigshit, hack.

Her and her overpaid wooden soccer star hubby need to pack it in and piss off back to the UK.

She looks like Mia the Bee with that hairstyle and those big shades.
