    Idol without Simon or Simon without Idol is a failure on both counts waiting to happen.

    Simon leaves, Idol leaves. Maybe it’s time…this show has been a train wreck this season. And has some of you have said, when Adam goes, me, too. And BTW, Lambert’s Feeling Good (studio version) is absolutely beautiful. 100x better than the performance version. GET IT. You will love it (I can’t stop listening to it). For any cynics who don’t think he can record an album, listen to this. Hoo boy.

    It’s not the U.S he’s sick of, he’s talking about walking away from the U.K Idol too!! He does Britain’s got Talent (a copyright of his no matter which country uses it!), the X-Factor, Idol and is said to be feeling the need to slow down!! I’m not surprised with all the charity help he does on the quiet when the cameras aren’t around !
    Without Simon on these shows nobody would watch them, it’s his hard biting criticsm that keeps viewers watching! Personally I prefer his harsh honesty to the saccharine smiles and false hopes raised by the other judges!! He’s a very, very rich man but he works for it, all these reality shows are not all he does! He’s never going to win Mr. Beautiful but then he doesn’t need to, being himself has got him more beautiful women (who he’s all still friends with!!) than most men could dream of!!

    As a fan from the first show. I think Simon makes the show a little better. His shotting from the hip is what these kids need, if there going to make it. I say tell it like it is.

    I truely dont want to simon go next season. Hes just part of the show. It would be a huge mistake if he left. If anyone should leave its Kara. Bringing on a fourth judge just was a real bad error in judgement. No pun intended. Kara talks to much, she is soooooo obnoxius, rambles on etc. So Kara can you say BYE BYE!!!
    Sincerly think about it which one do you really think should go??
    Signed a True Long-time fan of this show. Good Luck

    [...] Idol will matter to him all that much. In fact, there are all those rumors floating out there that he’s ready to move on, that he’s bored by the Idol contestants, that he’s mentally checked out, and so forth. [...]
