American Idol Base

If you haven’t already heard, Simon Cowell will be leaving American Idol. This will be his last season. It seems he will be heading up the American version of “X Factor.” There’s rumor stating that he wants Paula Abdul to join him on this venture.

This could be the beginning of the end for American Idol. I mean, when Simon leaves, who will replace him? Simon makes American Idol what it is today and it’s hard to see someone else fill his shoes. Is this a strategic move for Cowell? Heading up X Factor will give him more money than being on Idol. Who knows? I’m sure over time American Idol will lose its steam and X Factor may rise to the occasion.

Let’s hope this season will be spectacular!

If you haven’t already heard, the new season of American Idol will hit the TV prime time schedule on Jan. 12 2010. This season will be pack full of guest judges and witty comments.

Also making rumors true, is that Simon Cowell has one more season before he calls it quits. He sights that he wants to focus on his shows, specifically the X Factor show. American Idol may be winding down now that Paula left and soon Simon will follow. How will American Idol survive?

Let’s hope this new season will be one to remember!

We just learned last week that Paula Abdul is officially off American Idol and that TV show host Ellen Degeneres is in. That’s right, Ellen is the newest judge for American Idol. Although she has no singing career or knows much about the music industry, she reports she will speak for the public and fans. I have a feeling every performance she hears will be “good, great, and fantastic” with a comic twist.

There will also be celebrity judges for the audition part of American Idol so keep your eyes out for them!

If you haven’t already hear, former AI contestant Alexis Cohen, was killed in a hit-and-run this past Saturday July 25, 2009. News of her death has made it to Twitter and many are wishing her family some peace and comfort. From Paula Abdul to Ryan Seacrest, tweets out to her family came flooding in.

Alexis Cohen was 25 and a contestant on the seventh and eighth season of AI. She became a fan favorite for her trite words towards AI judge, Simon Cowell.

There has been much speculation as to whether Paula Abdul will be back for season 9 of Idol. The round of try outs are next month and much of the media is wondering if they will see this goofy, kooky spirit of a judge.

It is apparent that Paula Abdul is frustrated with her upcoming AI contract renewal. There is much support to keep Paula on her Twitter page. Past AI contestants like Danny Gokey and Annoop Desai tweeted to Paula to stay on AI.

I think this is just publicity and that Paula will stay on as an American Idol Judge for season nine and possibly season 10 and 11. No one can take the place of Paula Abdul. She wears her heart on her sleeve and invests in these singers. She will sure stay on so don’t miss next season.
