Simon leaving Idol?
I had heard rumors that Simon Cowell would possibly leave American Idol after the current season. Apparently from a New York Post article I just read, Simon is confirmed to have decided to leave the show. Also according to the article, Piers Morgan is the favorite to replace Simon on the show. Piers Morgan would likely be the best choice for the show if you want someone similar to Simon. Now I don’t watch American Idol past the first audition stage, and Simon is one of the main reasons why. If it true that Simon is done, I doubt that I would still watch Idol at all. I like Piers Morgan. I liked him when I watched America’s Got Talent, and on the Apprentice. I think though that if Piers was selected, he would just appear as a Simon rip-off, which isn’t completely true. Piers is his own person, but he will come off as if he is just like Simon, since they have similar attributes. I’ve thought for a while now that Idol has run it’s course, this only confirms my suspicion. With both Paula and Simon gone, even if it brings in huge ratings, I think that American Idol needs to end.
