We knew that when Simon Cowell would leave the show, American Idol would fall apart. And it is just a few months away from the filming of the new season, and already articles are spreading around the net talking about casting shakeups.
Last night, I looked on the internet and found that Ellen Degeneres was leaving the judges. She said that her schedule was way too much for her, juggling two tv shows. Although many didn't like her because of their conservative views and homophobic feelings, I personally enjoyed her because she was funny and she had an outlook on the songs that Simon or Paula did not. I think many fans will miss her dearly.
And then we look on the internet today to find some more startling news. Kara DioGuardi is on the top of the news when rumors have circulated that she has been fired by FOX and AI executives. While some say they are just rumors, some say that her contract is up and FOX has no intentions of letting her renew. While I thought she was a nice judge when I returned to watching the show last season, I quickly learned that she disects all of the songs the contestants sing.
She talks about too much or not enough emotion and trying to find themselves and stuff like that. Really, who cares. You can just be like Randy Jackson and say "Good Job Dog!" or something like that. I am sorta not suprised that she only lasted 2 seasons.
So after 10 years of American Idol, Randy Jackson seems to be the only one that has not had any trouble while being on the show, and he doesn't seem to have any trouble anytime soon. Unless the show has an unexpected cancellation, Jackson is not going anywhere.
But there is some promising news to all of this shake up. We have learned that Jennifer Lopez is close to reaching a deal, a judge that would be very popular among the fans. I personally would look forward to watching her judge. Stevens Tyler is rumored to taking the place of Simon Cowell. I don't look forward to this news because he just seems too weird. I was really looking forward to the thought of Bret Michaels being a new judge. But I guess we all can't get what we want.
We have also learned that they will be returning to the 3-judge format. That is also good news, because who wants to listen to 4 judges praising or ranting, when you can listen to 3 to do the same thing. I know some people had alot to say about this back in season 8 when they bumped it up to four people.
Well guys, it looks like we will have alot to read and watch when it comes to all of this shake ups going on. I can't wait to hear Kara accusing FOX of firing her because of her infatuation of Casey James. It is going to be a lot of laughs!
Until next time!
