Hey M Girls!
Simon Cowell confirmed that he's quitting American Idol after this upcoming season comes to an end! Sources say Simon is leaving the show to be a judge and executive producer on FOX's upcoming show, X Factor (an American version of the popular British talent Show)!
Let's dish:
-Will you miss Simon? If you won't miss him, do you think American Idol will be the same after he's gone? Spill all your thoughts in the comments!

Yes I will miss Simon! Some think he is mean and rude. But, sometimes he is the only one not embarrassed to speak the truth. He will be awesome on n e show but, 2 judges down 1 to go!!!
there is no way that it will be the same without him...and now that paula's gone too...randy might as well quit....its not even american idol without them:(
dude that frikkin sux that hes leaving!!!!
im not even gonna watch it anymore. ugh.
♥SIMON♥dont go: ( : (
no he shouldnt go. the show wont b the same without him. i know some people who watch the show just because they want to hear what simon has to say. he also makes some parts of the show funny because of his comments on peoples voices. dont go simon!

American Idol was so great with Simon, Paula, and Randy because they all had different sides in singing. Simon was strict, which made the show really interesting, Paula was nice, which gave the Idols a smile, and Randy was kool, Yo Dawg! lol. American Idol wont be the same without Simon!! :(
i hpw they are going to get another judje because then they will have the same amount of judges.
idol won't be the same anymore with out Paula and Simon :(
OMG! No Simon! Simon is my favorite. I heard about him quitting but I was hoping it didn't come true.
OMG NO! AMERICAN IDOL ISN'T EVEN AMERICAN IDOL ANYMORE. NO PAULA. NO SIMON. I'M NOT GOING TO WATCH IT ANYMORE! BOO!
I'm glad that he is leaving Idol because, he is so mean and if you sang for him he would insoulte you if you think that you have a good voice. I HATE him God.
THANK YOU :)
Too bad. It will suprisingly be different without him. That is, if they keep on doing the show.
But I Want to see that new show he's doing, but isn't it like, America's Got Talent?
SIMON ARE YOU CRAZY??????? you're the only one that makes it interesting!!!!! they already got rid of Paula!!!! i like Kara, but you, Paula, and Randy are the original trinity!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T GO!!!!!!!!
yeah it will be really different, i dont think he should leave..
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! First Paula, now Simon, I think American Idol is going downhill.

NOOOOOOOO!!! omg he CANT leave!!! yeah he may b hard and all but u know how much it helps the singers and theres a british show over there called the X-factor (susan boyle came from that show) hes bring over 2 america (like he did w/ ameican idol) the only BAD thing about the X-factor is its an amreicas got talent type show (anybody can do it no matter what thier talent) Simons gonna b a judge!! WATCH IT!!!

AND ABOUT x-fACTOR Its competing against america's got talent which is on its what 4th season if that goes thats not good!! u get my point though no paula or simon whos next...randy? personally im not gonna watch da show next season...ill hear who won

♪♪ guitarhero grl ♥♥♥♥♥
when paula left i was mad and now simon is leaving?!?!?!? what the heck now the show is gonna SUCK deff not watching it anymore cuz it just wont be the same without those 2!!
The x factor: Iys just done its 6th seires.And No Susen Boyle didnt from from the x factor,she came from Britains got talent! Anyway,the x factor is a singing talent show and to be honest,its better then american idol.The judges on it are Simon Cowell,Cheryl Cole( the girl on will.i.ams song heartbreaker and known as Britains sweetheart) Dannii Minogoe( Kylie Minogoes sister and is from Austraila) And Louis Walsh(Who is Irish like me)Its to find a singer from Britain and Ireland and the winner gets a single out for christmas and 4 out of 6 got uk no.1 for christmas.They also get signed to a record company and releases a album.LEONA LEWIS WON seires 4.IM IRISH AND I LOVE IT! ITS A IRISH AND ENGLISH SHOW.ITS WAY BETTER THEN AMERICAN IDOL.sorryand hope that info helps u! And also its reported that only Simon and CHERYL COLE will be the only judges from the english version to be a judge on america.Simon really wants to makw CHERYL COLE a star in u.s.a!
GUYS GET THIS: x FACTOR IS A SINGING CONEST AND IT IS OVER 16S.ALSO SUSEN BOYLE CAME FROM BRITAINS GOT TALENT!! PLEASE LOOK ABOVE TO SEE ALL THE INFO ABOUT IT
Yes. I would miss Simon. I mean American Ideal will not be American Ideal without Simon. Someone needs to be mean and tell the truth.
okay I love American Idol, but this is not going to be the same. As it is Paula already left now Simon. It will be totally different. Sometimes he is the only one that tells the truth.
OMG! he cant leave! first drunkin paula then simon(i call her that cuz she always acts drunk on the show)! american idol is now ruined!
Nooooo I don't want Simon to leave American idol it just won't be the same sience Paula left it haz been different big time.I ALS wonder who will replace Simon this time ....Joe ....won't be the sMe be ause he is really nice and he won't tell people the truth like Simon did.....chloestars10 should get some creidt for giving us for that wonderful information about xFactor it sound pretty cool but still American idol will be really different.....Simon I will miss u so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to be sad
i think that the show will not be the same. i think that the show was more interesting to watch because of having simon on it. now there will probably be less views. im not trying to put a curse on the show...wishing all best to american idol but its a difference.
Yes! he is rude.
but is everyone gonna quit
dude is everyone going to quite?!! :(
It wont be same because he gives bad comments and just makes it better.....he has a big part on american idol.. hes the reason everyone has been getting this far..(well a part of the reason sorta)
NO HE CANT QUIT HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE SHOW INTERESTING!!!!!!!! ELLEN IS GONNA RUIN THE SHOW TO!!!!!!! WHATS NEXT??????????!!!!!!!!!!!
I am soo sad. If randy leaves I am not watchin Idol. Simon made Idol. How could he go? Ellen doesn't even know music. :(
No,the show will ABSOLUTELY NOT be the same without Simon. Simon to me, is the judge that really knows what he is doing, judging wise. he will REALLY be missed by a lot of people.:( ;[
American idol is really not all the same bcuz paula is gone...then Simon will be gone...and as to my knowledge Ellen knows nothing about judging people music wise..... :(;[ ....they mine as well get all new judges
