Thanks for the reminder. I opened a new section for it and will move this thread over.

This show will be over if/when Simon leaves. I still think they'll offer him a truckload of money and he'll decide to stay. Don't think the show will make it without him. I look forward to a Paula-free show (it really was time for her to go), but it wouldn't be the same show without Simon. He's the backbone.

They offered him a truckload of money and he turned it down. Evidently, he wants to work with Paula again so I would not be surprised if she's on the X-Factor with him.

I wont watch if Simon leaves. Honestly with Adam not winning last year made me realize this is not a talent contest anyway.

I won't watch if Simon leaves and I'm glad Adam lost last year. I can't stand that guy. All screach and scream.

However, if Ellen is really good on the show, I may watch.

Lexie, I also heard the rumor that Paula might be on the X-Factor with Simon. I would love that.

I'm another one that probably will not watch it when Simon leaves. In fact, I am debating if I'm going to watch this year. I can't stand Ellen in the least little bit. Plus, I also think Adam should have won last year.

So, another varied opinion. Variety is the spice of life..............

I wonder if Susan Boyle will be a guest performer on the show this season. I hope so.

Did any of you see her show, The Susan Boyle Story, on the TV Newwork channel? If you missed it, they are showing it all month on the TV Network On Demand channel, under the reality category. It is worth a look see.

I may actually start watching again if Simon leaves. He's so mean and nasty it's hard to watch/listen to. I will do cartwheels if he goes.

I am not into it this season. Maybe I'll start watching after the first few boring weeks. Each season I have started watching later. Without Simon it just won't be AI. And, as much as people hated Paula, I don't think it's going to be the same without her to diffuse some of the barbs which will be flowing leading up to the actual contest in earnest.

I think Simon has been much nicer this season. Maybe it is because since it is his last, he soes not have to maintain the mean image. Of course he has had his moments, but most of them were justified. I will miss Simon.

I hope you're kidding about that. I don't care much about who replaces him but I won't last watching Stern unless he is dramatically different on Idol than his usual act.

Howard is being considered according to news reports. Not my idea for a replacement either.

From New York Post


"Howard Stern, 56, is the Idol producers' top choice to replace Cowell, according to The New York Post. The Sirius radio host's hefty contract expires next ..."

Howard Stern?? Seriously? Do the producers have no idea who their audience is?

Gross. I'll have to either tape it so I can FF or stop watching.

It sounds absolutely ludicrous. I won't believe it until I see him on Idol.

I hope that this is just some kind of publicity stunt.

It wouldn't be so bad, if he knew squat about the music biz. He's a talkshow host, which is the same as Ellen. One is plenty - two's a dumb idea.

The more I think about it, this has to be a joke. Do you know how many children watch this show? Parents know this is one of the few shows on TV that they don't have to monitor. I can't see this happening.
