Why American Idol should Not Replace Simon Cowell
The best thing American Idol producers can do to improve American Idol for the 2011 Season 10 is not to replace Simon Cowell. Yes, I said it. We currently have 3 judges, Randy, Ellen and Kara. If you attempt to bring in another judge to replace Simon Cowell ( who is departing for X-factor) it will just create more issues.
With Simon leaving after this season 9, everyone thinks there is will be a giant void in the American idol experience. That is true. There is no one that can replace Simon in Season 10, so why try? It would make the most sense for the Idol producers to continue to utilize celebrity judges during the summer audition process to weed out and select the best raw talent for the show. Because after all that is the main role of the judges. Find us likable talented singers for the competition.
When the judges whittle the herd to the top 24, then it is up to us the American voting public to determine who should continue and who should go home. In the past most voting patterns followed Judge Simon Cowell’s advice. If he didn’t like your performances or didn’t give you a stamp of approval, you were sure to be gone from the competition relatively soon.
So Why replace Simon? Don’t. Let the story of American Idol Season 10 be about the contestants, not about the replacement judge and the lack luster comparisons to the snarky Brit King Simon Cowell.
So do you hear me Freemantel? Do you feel me FOX? Forget the 4th Judge for season 10. If Idol makes it to season 11, go grab another Judge then.
Our American Idol will be much better off with the likes of Ellen, Randy and Kara, without throwing in a Simon 2.0, a Hasselhoff (Heaven forbid!), Stern,Perice Morgan, a Simon Fuller, a Jamie Fox etc. Just let the Show live on it’s own merits and leave the jumping of the shark to season 11. Shall we??!!

You know I whole heartedly agree with you 1000%. Simon *is* irreplaceable so why try to?!.
AI should just try to improve on this year’s mistakes and make the show better so it can go out on a favorable note.
Great post.
