8Another good reason not to watch the show! HATE that no-talent hideous woman. I wish I knew who ever gave her the idea she was beautiful. And Kim K's body kicks her a** any day.
I agree with everyone, she is not worth 12 million, see...the rich keep getting richer. I hope the ratings tank, I dam sure won't be watching. I was "ok" with Steven Tyler, but these greedy biotch...No thank you! Guess it will be DWTS vs Idol to vie for ratings, I'll give my time to DWTS.
this is just stupid. She can't even sing. Like really...she CAN'T SING!
Roll back the Bush tax cuts folks, this is the income level where the rich get a big tax break while we get taxed from our measly little middle class houses..
Won't be watching. No Simon=no Idols. Jennifer Lopez is a joke for a judge. Can normal people get paid $12 million to give feedback.
American Idol will never be the same without the original judges. Please bring back Simon and Paula.
I'll 2nd that Elda!
that's it for me, never watching the show again!
