After only one season Ellen has decided to leave the show. She gives two majors reasons one being having a hectic schedule and the other as not feeling comfortable hurting the contestants. So now we have two judges seats to replace. I personally think without Simon Cowell the show is going to go downhill. I think the only way this could work for another few seasons if they pick someone like Elton John, P Diddy or Justin Timberlake. It would have to be someone big but these big guy are way to busy to do this I think. There is talk about Jessica Simpson but I honestly don't think she has what it takes to be a judge. Do you have any ideals as to who could replace both slots? Who do you think could pull this off?

I know it was funny but also good with the judges they had. Now with Simon and Ellen gone I can't imagine what it will be like next year.

Yes I wonder too. I have heard there is word about Jennifer Lopez taking Ellen's place but I don't know how true it is.

It would make a lot of sense for someone, who is in music and is very famous, to fill in Ellen's spot. Although, I do have a feeling that without Simon it might still not last much longer. But maybe I'm wrong. I'll just have to wait and see.

Jessica Simpson as idol judge? No way. I certainly agree with you that she doesn't have what it takes to a judge, and particularly an American Idol judge. She can go judge elsewhere but American Idol is just that big. You're definitely right. They need a very good replacement for Simon. I'm certainly missing him and so as Ellen. She is just too good and kind-hearted. I really hope the new idol judges are super famous to make the show interesting and kickin.

I hope so to or else the show will be over. I surely hope the producers are aware of this. They need someone big to draw in the people or it will flop.

Hiya lelin, I would have an idea in fact I do have an idea for at least two but they are Spanish so that is not much use to anyone as they don´t speak much English which of course wold be a must. They are Angel Llacer, and Coco Comin she is a former Dancer too. However they are in their own right a must here as well as they support the Show itself and they are indeed very professional. The other ones on the Panel are only supportive to the other ones ideas more or less. In fact there have been problems there too and one or two of them will not go back. Me myself would not feel comfortable deciding someone else´s career and future in Television and the Music World I think that you can only give an opinion of what they might do not what they should do. Sometimes they sound like Dictators more than anything there is an art to all that and they don´t have it most of them. It´s not their fault really either. After all said and done it´s only a Show and there are so many People that make a Music Career by themselves most times they have to go out of Spain to be able to get anywhere. I could name a few that have done that. One for example would not have even made it to the first part of the Show and yet People love him and buy all his Cds so you can´t beat that can you? I would have loved for him to get on that very Show even for an Audition a primary one I would have loved to have seen their Faces as they are quite snobbish and think that everyone has to have "the Voice" the proper Voice. Well this Guy has none of that and there you have him. Just a Photo of their Faces would be well worth seeing (grin). They had a Girl of 27 on there once with the best soul voice I have ever heard and they told her no guess what because she went dressed up ordinary and other body problems like weight she only had a little extra weight but she can sing you bet she can by now she would be singing in the States and famous I felt for her and cried a little with her too as I felt this was so unjust so unfair. She is a Spanish Girl and not long back there was another one with the same rejection problem.I feel they need guidance personal guidance before going to do an Audition with those kind of Shows. I cannot show you any Videos of who they were as the Television Channel has blocked the Videos on you tube itself.

i am sad because ellen is leaving american idol. i was most excited to watch last season because i have ellen and american idol -all in one show! the feeling was unbelievable. but i respect her decision though. it is really uncomfortable hurting someone else's feelings yet you have to.
