Agreed.. The Voice is so much better and that is why they have a higher rating over Idol

I haven't watched Idol since Simon left.

Because it still makes money, and with new (cheaper) judges, will make more.

Its Fox...they wont do that.

Maybe it ain't how they are doing it so much as it might be a fad that is fading. To prevent it from fading so quickly they are trying to change it up until they find something that works.

American Idol is over with as a phenomenon. Now FOX is just picking the scrapes of what's left of the show for $$$$.

What idol needs to do is not get judges like NICKI MINAJ, she had a sucky attitude,imo.

I guess they wanted to try something "different" when they got Nicki Minaj. It sure didn't work for them.

Really hope they change their mind and get Mariah Carey back.

They ain't changing their mind. They are all gone.

The show has lost its steam. I do not watch it anymore. It was great and innovative back in the day, but now it is tired and played out.

Sounds like "Jenny from the block "is asking a lot of CASH for a return to this turkey.

Harry Connick Jr. will be the third judge....

Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. are the new 'Idol' judges
