Should Fox Cancel American Idol?

by at .

The ratings for American Idol were way down this season, about 32 percent lower than those of season 10.

The winners on American Idol all appear to be from the same mold, as Phillip Phillips follows in the Caucasian, guitar-playing footsteps of Lee DeWyze, Kris Allen, David Cook (pictured) and Scotty McCreery.

So, it must be asked: is it actually time to cancel American Idol?

David Cook on American Idol

Yes, Allen told TMZ this week. He believes the plug should be pulled on a competition that has clearly grown tiresome on the eyes of viewers.

But another former winner disagrees.

American Idol is a juggernaut," Taylor Hicks told TMZ in response to Allen. Because of my American Idol win, I am able to do the thing that I love most, which is to be an entertainer... the fact that I am headlining Vegas six years after auditioning there and then ultimately winning AI is testament to the incredible platform the show continues to provide for me."

What do YOU think? Should American Idol get the axe?

    Seriously the whole thing has been one huge popularity contest. The winners are often teen boys with good looks that the voters (girls and gay guy majority) keep while discarding the more talented singers who don't fit the abercrombie criteria. Its time for the show to end. There are plenty of shows like it now and besides it really isn't the same anymore. If they have to bring in someone like Jenifer Lopez, who can't sing AT ALL, to be a judge, then something is very wrong. The same goes for Britney Spears on X-Factor, who has some nerve judging others on their singing ability when the bitch CAN'T SING FOR SH*T!!!!! She got famous for T&A and you know its true!!

    Don't cancel idol! It's funny, it's serious, and there's some awesome talent on the show. It's a much better show than the Xfactor and The Voice. The only change I would make would be to leave out some of the really untalented folks and focus more on the ones who may actually win.
