EXAMINER:It so good to see you this morning annoucing the AMA nominations. You have performed on the show and have won as well.
ABDUL: I love the AMAs. It is the best show as it is voted on by the fans, the people. I love Dick Clark and Larry Klein. They know how to produce a show. It will be a good show. I will be there...presenting an award. I have won a bunch of awards there, and performed there over the years.
EXAMINER:What did you think of the nominations this morning?
ABDUL:It was great. Michael Jackson getting nominated is just great. All the nominees are great. Then the performers will be great too. Plus I got to see Adam. I am so proud of him.
EXAMINER:I bet you are proud of him.
ABDUL: Oh I am. I am so proud of him. It was so good to see him. I haven't seen him since the show. I love him... I was the one person who said he was great every week on the show. He is going to do great. I said that he would be a superstar and he will. Plus we get to see him perform at the show.
EXAMINER:What is your favorite American Music Awards performance?
ABDUL:Oh..there has been so many... every one ...maybe Janet Jackson.
EXAMINER:There has been so much anticipation to see what you have planned now that you will no longer be on American Idol.
ABDUL:You know... I keep hearing all the things I am supposed to be doing from all of you guys. I am going to take all the ideas and write them all down. I will be making announcements soon on what I am doing when things are finalized. Nothing is set till that man over there tells me(points to manager). When he says so....my manager then it is happening. Leaving Idol was a hard decision. I will miss my dysfunctional family, but not really because I talked to them already all the time. I will be watching the show every week now just like everybody else. I am just glad to be a part of history with the show.
