AI was really boring this whole season....can't figure out if its the show or if I'm just over it. And Simon may not be back next year. What do you guys think, is AI beginning its decline or will next season be better?

i think because they dramtized stuff more.. changed alot of rules. and 4 judges are alot. i liked the 3 judges as it is. i hated how they rushed comments and stuff. that's usually the fun part. and Kara is just..urgh! super annoying.

My thoughts of the finale: Cook. More than I expected (and that was a lot). Santana. Awesome as always, liked the group performance with him. Then, Kiss+Adam....liked it!! Seriously Kiss should hire Adam lol, he was just one more of them, so naturally on him, you know the screaming and making a show. hehe. Keith Urban+ Kris...nice mix, I like the song and performance. Cute. what was with those gold idols? lol it was embarrasing to see all the auditions again...and bikini girl singing with kara lmao. I saw cook clapping in the end... seriously All the guys were hahaha The finale. NOT as exciting, by far, as last year's. omg. I felt a different vibe...Kris didn't seem too excited, poor thing maybe he just shocked and couldn't take it. Last year was full of emotion, and tears of happiness and the judges seemed so excited and all the contestans were together and so happy! ahhh good times. seriously.

American Idol recruited fill-in judges like Mary J. Blige and Victoria Beckham while searching for a full-time replacement for Paula Abdul, but joining the judges table when the series’ ninth season premieres in January 2010: Comedienne and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen made the surprising announcement on her talk show, saying that talks with AI producers had been ongoing for the past few weeks and the deal was finally worked out.
“I’m thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol,” said DeGeneres said in a statement that confirmed her new gig. “I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I’ll save from not having to text in my vote.” Added AI creator and executive producer Simon Fuller, “Ellen has been a fan of the show for many years, and her love of music and understanding of the American public will bring a unique human touch to our judging panel. I can’t wait for this next season to begin.” DeGeneres got her first taste of judging during a one-episode stint on last season’s So You Think You Can Dance.
Critics will likely lash out at DeGeneres’ lack of music industry knowledge — she’s an avowed music fanatic, but doesn’t have the choreography background or recording experience that Abdul brought to the show. However, in casting DeGeneres, Idol has found another kind-hearted, nurturing personality. Plus, DeGeneres brings an accessible sense of humor to the show that’s different than the brand of comedy Abdul provided, which came most often at her expense. Fourth judge Kara DioGuardi isn’t a performer, but as an accomplished songwriter, she’ll likely step up as the pop music vet.
In addition to welcoming DeGeneres to the judge’s table, Idol also revealed the full roster of stars who will guest judge during the show’s auditions: Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Kristin Chenoweth, Joe Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Shania Twain. DeGeneres won’t join Cowell, Jackson and DioGuardi until the post-audition episodes of the show.
DeGeneres’ addition to the show also puts a final end to Paula Abdul’s tenure on American Idol. After Abdul revealed she was leaving the show, reports still circulated that she wanted to return to Idol was using her departure to leverage for a bigger paycheck more on par with her co-stars. Whether Abdul was still negotiating with Idol producers is unclear, but in the end, the Age of Abdul on Idol is over, and the Ellen Era has begun.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Simon Cowell's departure from "American Idol" leaves a gaping hole for the smash Fox TV show.
Cowell will launch a singing competition program, "The X Factor" on Fox beginning in 2011.
Cowell, whose barbs made him the judge everyone loved to hate, filled a niche brilliantly and helped put the show on the map. It is more than a TV show to a lot of viewers -- it is appointment viewing and a linchpin in the American popular culture. Read Wall Street Journal story on Cowell's departure.
Fox, which like MarketWatch is owned by News Corp. /quotes/comstock/15*!nws/quotes/nls/nws (NWS 15.77, -0.12, -0.76%) , must now find a way to keep the audience happy. Cowell will be hard to replace because he was the perfect villain -- but Fox is nothing if not resilient. No doubt it will be able to find a judge who can continue the momentum.
Ellen DeGeneres, a new member of the "Idol" panel of judges, will certainly add to the show's popularity.
"American Idol" dominated its time slot. It has been the most successful of the reality shows for years. It also helped launch the careers of many talented singers who might not have gotten their big break, if not for the show.
But the change can also bring an opportunity to Fox. There will be no shortage of people who hope to become "Idol" judges.
