Season 1 WAS its prime. Kelly Clarkson was breathtaking on that show. After that, it's just turned into a contest looking for the next entertaining, diverse character, rather than someone who can actually sing.
I'll still be watching out of loyalty/addiction, but it makes me sad to see such a crappy judging panel. I'm more annoyed that Simon Cowell is forcing "The X-Factor" on us next year.
What's so different about The X-Factor that he had to leave American Idol? Why does he think The X-Factor is so much better. He could have just tweaked the rules of the stale AI and stayed...We don't need TWO of these trainwrecks.
I watched the first season of American Idol when I was a freshman in high school a gazillion years ago. Yes, it's definitely past its prime.
