Season 9 is Simon's Last Season
Enjoy Simon Cowell on season nine of American Idol because he has announced that he will not return to the show after this season ends.
Love him or hate him (or both), Simon Cowell helps make American Idol what it is, particularly for those of us who enjoy watching the bizarre, laughable auditions. Simon is the judge who is not afraid to tell the less-than-serious contestants that they are making fools of themselves, as if they didn't already know.
What will American Idol be like without Simon? Will the funny auditions be allowed free reign as the other judges may not have the nerve to cut the acts off as quickly and harshly as Simon could?
It's hard to say how the fun auditions on Idol will go in a Simon-less environment. Only time will tell, but be sure to enjoy every one of Simon's quips this season while he's still around!
