Good. The show is dying. Hopefully x-factor will follow suit.

That's just because they're bringing X-Factor to the US.

I figured that would happen. I don't think the show will last long without him.

Good, now I won't have to hear about the show all day.

"OMG Did you see who got voted off last night!?"

"Nope"

That's awful, he's my favorite judge on the show. I might even stop watching the show after that.

I won't watch American Idol if he's gone. His comments made me laugh.

Last season's winner has his annoying song played everywhere

Yes, since he is the producer of XFactor (if I heard right), he will make more money on that show.

Plus, the show lost any credibility it had left by hiring Ellen D.

And my new conspiracy is that Paula had no intention of signing a new contract so that Simon could bring her on XFactor (but I could be totally wrong if they had contracts of only one season)

That'd be a huge loss for American Idol.

He may stop being a judge but he is the producer so he will get money either way.

Not surprised, he's been talking about leaving for quitea long time now. I'm surprised that show is still even running, and wouldn't be surprised if this is the last year of American Idol. And if not, it will definitely be crap after Simon leaves. Well more like super crap since it's not the best show out there right now anyways lol.

Yeah which is very possible. I watch the show only at the very beginning for the try outs and then after that it just gets tedious

He was getting paid a lot. It could be a deeper issue. This will hurt the show's ratings tremendously.

Oh of course it will. And Ellen said she'd leave if Simon did.

Nope. He is leaving it for XFACTOR, in which he will be the producer of, where the REAL money is.
