No more Simon Cowell?

Posted on January 12th, 2010 by arogers in Blog Central, General Blogs

As much as we might hate to admit, American Idol wouldn’t be where it is today without the snippy remarks of its judge, Simon Cowell. So I feel safe in saying that Cowell will be missed by many if he decides to leave American Idol after his five year contract ends with Fox in 2010.

The British bombshell, as I like to call him, has been a judge on the hit show since its premiere in 2002. Now, eight years later, he is the creator and producer of Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor. This leaves little room for his work in America and since his other two shows are in Britain it only makes since to drop American Idol right?

The answer varies throughout the public. Some feel that he is betraying America after it gave him his start on television, I on the other hand believe that maybe Simon Cowell is beyond American Idol now and should move on to bigger and better things. There’s no need to be held back when you have a great opportunity to be even more successful. Yes, I do think he has some obligation to America but wasn’t that fulfilled after judging eight seasons of the show? Besides, I think American Idol is getting a little old and needs to retire sometime soon or find something new to entice viewers. If not, I predict American Idol will be loosing popularity especially if Cowell decides to leave.

So what now? What is the future of American Idol without one of its star judges? Only time will tell if the show will continue to be a success or die out. Needless to say American Idol had its rein for almost a decade, maybe its time to past the torch and move to the next big thing.
In the infamous words of Simon Cowell this could be an “absolutely dreadful!” end to American Idol.
