Paula Abdul told Nicole Scherzinger to vote Rachel Crow off `X Factor`

Washington: Paula Abdul is believed to have secretly instructed her fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger to vote off Rachel Crow from X Factor.

Abdul’s microphone was down when Scherzinger was making her decision but with a little volume tinkering one could hear Abdul whisper to her, “Just let it go to a deadlock,” Tmz.com reported. Scherzinger did as she was told, and the decision led to Crow’s removal from the show. The two judges have since recieved death threats from Crow’s angry fans. ANI
