Her eyes heavily made up like that make them pop like Carly's do. The contestants this season are an attractive group, I've gotta say. That TB Fox clip with Lindsay Rose and Cookie is so awesome, I've watched it a dozen times today and it still moves me. Brooke looks beautiful on the cover.

If personalities aren't showing, it's because of the editing. *shakes head* This is not Big Brother (which I have enjoyed in the past). I do not need to see the Idols competing for song choice by eating worms. Just no. Idol has actually started to attract some serious musicians in the past few years. I can see that changing depending on the shenanigans they have in store. EWW, as if they aren’t already manipulative enough!

Even when he's dead wrong? I think he's got no taste whatsoever. Strip everything that's dumb and crude out of American Idol--the horrible auditions, the manipulative backstories, toying with the contestants--and that's America's Got Talent in a nutshell. It's a terrible show, and the talent is mediocre at best. But talent isn't at the center of the show, people are advanced on who's got the worst backstory. Awful. I expect the changes he wants to make to include bringing more "reality show" type elements to the proceedings. Cruel twists and such. And beefing up the sob stories. None of that will improve the show, imo. I have more to say, but I'm going to save it for the front page.

Simon, who helped create the show, is prepared to step into a larger role behind the scenes,

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“With Nigel there it became too much of a crowd and he is a very good producer but I think now he has stepped down I probably will get more involved. I already have to be honest with you.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

He is undecided whether or not he will take on an executive producer credit for himself,

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t like giving myself a title really. I feel uncomfortable if Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m on the show. Maybe I will.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

Though the ratings held up fairly well considering the show was in its seventh season this year, Simon admitted he got bored halfway through the show and that was the impetus for the changes ahead,

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“I started to get bored because of the middle sections of the show because we had 24 people. By the time we hit say, show five of the live show I felt I had known them for years.

Well, he feels confident. As he says elsewhere in the article, the rest of us will just have to see if its a “postive or a negative”
