Will Simon Cowell's Exit Help 'American Idol'? Experts Weigh In
So I got interviewed by MTVNews.com today about Simon Cowell leaving American Idol after Season 9. And when I clicked over to the article look what I found:
We got the friggin' byline! OMG Woohoo!
"I have no idea what to expect, but I'm definitely excited. I think [new host] Ellen [DeGeneres] will play an even bigger part in the show now," said blogger Rickey Yaneza, who runs Rickey.org. " 'Idol' will definitely continue on without him. The show is a bit of a Super Bowl moment in America already, so no matter who the judge is, as long as they keep the formula going — talented contestants and intelligent judges — it will be OK. It might be jarring for some viewers not to see Simon sitting there, but 'Idol' is the brand; it's not Simon Cowell."
