Abdul Defends Allen

AMERICAN IDOL judge PAULA ABDUL has defended British singer LILY ALLEN for canceling a string of gigs in the U.S.

The singer, 45, believes Allen is too talented to be criticized for canceling her U.S tour after encountering visa problems – which left her unable to enter America.

She says, “I love Lily Allen. I don’t think the fact that she had to cancel her gigs in the States will necessarily affect her success here. Talent is talent.

“People forget that pop stars are human, too – we don’t want to let people down but sometimes we can’t help it.”
