He's not going very far. From what I understand he's going to be doing The X Factor in America instead. (very similar program)

I love AI, but I hope it gets canceled. I'd rather see that than have it die a slow death.

I only watch it during the auditions, to see the truly horrible, deluded people who are absolutely sure they have a tremendous talent that's being ignored. (I wonder how many of them are writers, too?) Once they get past that and on to the real competition it's boring.

Simon's snark makes the show, for me. But there's always someone snarkier available.

They're adding a judge with no experience in the recording industry (Ellen). There is no point to this, whatsoever.

Idol already jumped the shark. Simon's just throwing chum behind him as he goes.

AW. A very nice place!
... never watched the show, but have seen clips on the news -- giving me a right to weigh in on the matter!
So I select Ozzy. If he didn't like the performances he could fling bats at the contestants or bite off their heads. I'd watch something like that.

Simon's leaving American Idol next year. Speculations are going around about who will replace him, and I think that nobody CAN replace him. I honestly predict that I'll stop watching the show when he leaves because he was really the main source of entertainment.

But from what I understand, Paula is leaving too. So this is kind of like a good news, bad new thing. lol

Well, James Cameron might have some time on his hands in between Avatar movies...
