Some `Idol` judges aren`t qualified: Patti

New York: Patti LaBelle thinks some people shouldn`t be on "American Idol" — and she`s not talking about the contestants."Some of the judges, I don`t think they`re qualified to even judge," she said in an interview Wednesday. The veteran R&B diva wouldn`t say which judge she thought was lacking on the hit Fox show, which has Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres picking America`s top singers. Tuesday`s "Idol" episode saw 12 female semifinalists competing. LaBelle said she was asked to be a judge on the series before Paula Abdul; a rep for the show had no comment on whether she was. LaBelle feels like the judges` comments to the contestants are too mean. "The comments that were made, they could make you like wanna kill yourself," the 65-year-old singer said. LaBelle`s advice to singing hopefuls: "If you believe in yourself, just go for it. What do you have to lose? And when people tell you `You can`t,` you have to say, `I can.`" Bureau Report
