Simon Cowell Says He Might Leave ‘American Idol’ Next Year!

Oh Simon, say it ain’t so!! Will the most legit judge on American Idol soon be leaving the show? The Brit spends half of his life on transcontinental flights from America to England where he films Britain’s Got Talent and The X-Factor. After years of living without a social life, Simon Cowell might be ready to give something up, and it looks like we will be on the losing end.
“Most people do one show a year and I do three. It just so happens that one is in America and two are in England and they do involve a lot of traveling. One may have to go. I don’t know how to decide which one. That is the problem, I like all of them,” Cowell told the U.K.’s The Mirror newspaper in a Saturday report.
“I can’t imagine not doing Britain’s Got Talent and I can’t imagine not doing X Factor. But I guess America is more likely to go because I have got one year under contract. Maybe that will be the end.”
What would American Idol be without Simon Cowell? Last December he said it’ll be just fine.
“It could still continue without me. I’ve always believed that,” he told reporters… “This show is successful all over the world and I’m only on American Idol. I’ll make a decision next year as to what I do as an on-screen judge because there is a big, big schedule now and I do two other shows, so it’s been hard. I think that this show could continue for another 10, 20 years, to be honest with you.”
Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson are legit… So maybe Simon and Paula Abdul will both go and we can trade them for one more really good judge. What do you think? Can American Idol make it without Simon?

I think American Idol can do without Simon and even without Paula, but seriously, would you watch it if it wasn’t for them? Would you watch if all you had were Randy and Kara and the contestents? Maybe you would if you had nothing else to watch on TV… As it is right now, people all over the world tune in or recorde it so that they can watch it and have an hour of pure fun with the contestents and the chemistry betwen the judges, especially Simon and Paula. If theu leave what do those people have left?
