This is such a sad, sad story. I found this on another blog. Apparently she sat out front of Paula Abdul’s home and committed suicide. An autopsy is being conducted on the ex-American Idol contestant.
Paula Goodspeed had proclaimed her love for Abdul in her audition and has been following her around ever since. Her family has stated that she has mental problems and that they were concerned for her safety after they reported her missing yesterday.
On her MySpace page profile, she describes herself as 28 years old, originally born in Jamaica. Other media sources have described her as 30 years old from Thousand Oaks, California, which is where she now resides. She also self-describes herself as a Wiccan who seems to have an affinity for the Wizard of Oz movie. This is not the same Paula Goodspeed who is a real estate agent in San Bernadino County.
During the audition, Ms. Goodspeed gave her own rendition of “Proud Mary,” which was once sung by Paula. Simon made a seering comment in his usual style about her braces that was not forgotten: “How did she get through the metal detector?”

She writes about the post-audition trauma and that specific comment in one of her blog entries:
It’s very hard reading such awful things being written about yourself…..or hearing things being said….. not like alot of people would understand what it’s like having so many haters , just because I made the mistake of trying out for a singing competition before I was even ready vocally, emotionally and physically.
I have to believe there is something good about me…..
Simon made that comment about my braces 5 months ago in Sept. 05 and now …since the show aired this month (Feb. 06), theres been soo many people bashing me for having braces, as if “I am the only person on national television that wears braces”!!!!!!
I think some people just need to grow up…or save that kind of stuff for the playground.
Soo, thats my story!! Better luck next time, I guess……
