American Idol without Simon Cowell?
What will happen to American Idol without Simon Cowell? I’ve heard both positive arguments for the change, as well as horrified fans who think the show will be ruined without the caustic judge.
Personally I can’t imagine the show being the same without Simon, but I’m also anxious to see how things have changed with the addition of Ellen DeGeneres. I’m certain the chemistry will be different without Paula – and I’m curious to see how Simon responds to Ellen as a judge. I’ve seen him on her show and they seem to genuinely like each other, but it’s a different story to have them side by side as judges. This is Simon’s domain – how will he respond if he gets overshadowed by another judge? Hmmm… I guess we will see.
What are your thoughts?
Will American Idol survive without Simon?

I have been an American Idol fan from the first show through every season since. I have never missed a week without my Idol fix. But, If they put that stupid no talent, no rhythm Ellen DeGeneres on the show for real I WILL NEVER WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN! Who decided this anyway. What qualifies her to be a judge of musical talent? This woman can not even dance. This is so wrong on so many levels.

I think that Desmond Child should replace Simon Cowell – He is legendary producer and songwriter, an awesome character –
American Idol should go back to picking brilliant songs for the winners! it seems that over the past couple of years the final song is always a bit lame.The best ever song out of American Idol was Clay's "this is the Night" by Chris Braide.
It was written at Desmond Child's writing camp in Miami. Sales statistics prove that these guys know what they are doing when they write a smash. Bring back the hit song – something with originality, emotion and heart.
