After 15 seasons, American Idol is saying goodbye tonight at 8p on Fox. Even though I haven’t watch the show in years, I have to admit I am a little teary eyed about it.
Back when the show started, I enjoyed watching it every week. Calling my friends and family in NYC for results. Getting in fights with friends over who should win. I still say Clay Aiken won the second season.
On that note, look at all the stars that came from the show. There’s Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, Katharine McPhee, Carrie Underwood and so on…
But the most important thing about American Idol is that brought it people together. Hopefully after some time off, it will come back as strong as it once was. Television needs a show like what the singing competition was its first few seasons.
Will you miss American Idol?

Before Ryan Seacrest was the host of American Idol, he was lip syncing songs like Bon Jovi’s Runaway. How awwwwdorable was the young and chubby preteen back in the mid-’80s?
He is just as awwwwdorable now talking about it on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last week as he was then.
Now that American Idol is ending, that means that Ryan Seacrest will be out of one of his many many many jobs in a few months. What will he do about that? Looks like he found a new job pushing food carts in a Vegas hotel, so is that the case? Nope, as he explained, “no vegas u can’t tempt me w carbs and sugar, I will stay strong in 2016 #CES2016.”
Although, he looks like a natural, doesn’t he?
Ryan Seacrest shared a Selfie he took with the judges from American Idol and I think we can all agree that Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr all come off very stiff in it. Even the energetic host looks flat.
But on a positive note, they all look picture perfect and shiny.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLYNHICiH00 Clay Aiken decided to watch American Idol yesterday for the first time in a long time and he had some choice words about the new judges, Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr on Twitter.
Below are his Tweets:
Watching @americanidol for the first time in a decade. You never know what you’ve got til it’s gone. #idolpremiere
Well… now I know why the ratings are down. 😴
Oh good Lord… those boring ass responses from the judges!? Where is Simon when you need him!? That guy need a hook to pull him off stage.
It’s VERY clear now that @SimonCowell was the reason @AmericanIdol was a hit. I’ve watched root canals more entertaining than these judges.

Now that #Raleigh has shown out and these judges have put me to sleep! I’m changing over to watch my girl @tyrabanks on @black_ishabc
Then he explained his Tweets:
When your favorite team that you’ve cheered for for years happens to play a shitty game, you’re absolutely allowed to be upset about it.
We’re all more critical of the things we care about most.
When you really love something you only want the best for it, and you have high expectations from those you know are capable of it.
Does anyone disagree with him? I gave up the show when J-Lo joined it. I know we are not alone because the numbers kept dropping every time they added one of the current judges. Which eventually lead to the show getting cancelled after spending many seasons on top of the ratings charts.
They never should have let Simon Cowell go. The original judges knew talent and that is why no contestant has been a chart topper since the King of Mean left.
