Since she’s so caring, Carrie feels everything.
Her strong empathy can make it difficult for her to detach while she’s assessing contestants.
However, it’s also her superpower.
Her sensitivity is a double-edged sword.
Off-screen, Carrie’s just as kind and gracious as you might imagine.
This woman doesn’t need a lot of makeup to look good - no woman does.

Is Carrie Too Sensitive To Be A Great American Idol Judge?
That’s why Carrie was a free agent when she decided to try her luck onAmerican Idolseason 4.
Like Elvis Presley, Carrie burrowed her way right into the heart of America.
Carrie’s a superstar.
Reality TV is more popular than ever.
There’s real charisma there - something mysterious that’s hard to quantify.
Call it magic - it’s a gift that isn’t given to everyone.
She uses her empathy to understand her audience and give them what they want.
However, the point ofAmerican Idolis to showcase new singers whowant to be like Carrie.
With her onscreen, she risks overshadowing them each and every time.
Yes, she cares about them, but sometimes she may overstep because she does.
Carrie meant well as she usually does.
She wanted Breanna to understand the value of taking care of a child at home.
It’s true that this is hard work that’s really important.
That was the point Carrie was making.
However, Breanna is a grown woman - she’s a mom.
If she wants to describe herself a certain way, that’s up to her.
This is an example ofhow Carrie’s sensitivity can backfire.
With the very best intentions, she can still make mistakes.
Her sensitive approach to judging may also end up hurting contestants because they instantly bond with her.
If she has to criticize, it could hurt them more than it would coming from a meaner judge.
People expect Simon to turn on them.
They expect to be torn apart.
They hope for more, but brace themselves.
Carrie is someone that a lot of people love, including contestants.
American Idolasks a lot of judges.
They need to harden their hearts so they can make the best decisions.
While they don’t hold all the power, they definitely have a lot of clout.
They influence the people who vote at home.
WIth Carrie, the jury’s still out.
American Idolairs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
