I'll give it a shot and watch. As soon as it seems that the singers are no longer the stars of the show and the panels ego's take over, I change the channel.Now, I realize that Simon had a big ego, but he was dead honest with the performers..

Simon was good but as far as I'm concerned kara was the one who gave the most constructive comments. she was fair and actually helped the contestants. ellen was just a political move to help people get over paula and randy is just a joke. with kara gone I will not be watching again.

will miss simon, no-one can replace him, no-one. not jennifer lopez or stephen typler. there is only one simon. not interested this year in watching it.!!

wont miss anyone but simon. but love randy.!!! wouldnt be the same without randy. but jennifer lopez no way. dont care for her as a sining judge. and stephen tyler nothing good about him. american idol going down.!!!
