Renaldo ("We're Brothers Forever") said it best in Season 7, "Simon, you are heaven's chosen to give chance to any talent for free of charge." I can't speak for heaven but I would think that the successful contestants on American Idol must consider Simon Cowell and the show a God-send for providing a venue for their voices to be heard and and career jump start that many never experience.
Simon has now stated that Season 9 will be his last on American Idol. Which means I'll have to soak up every precious, disdainful, and hilarious comment from Simon this season because I just don't think I can watch AI without him next year. It's bad enough that Paula is gone but this is just too much for me.
I personally don't think American Idol will continue without Simon at the reigns and in the judge's seat. I'm sure Fox will give it a try but I think it will only squeak through with one season before it's yanked. People will most likely tune into Simon's other show The X Factor. Is he gonna get Paula to be a judge with him on that show? And if so, can they just pretend all this never happened and call The X Factor American Idol? I'm just sayin'.
Here's Renaldo with a memorable audition and high praise for Simon.

simon leaving and going to what is really the exact same show, at a different time, is like leno leaving the tonight show...and then going back to the tonight show. don't you worry. if paula and simon are on the x factor, randy and ryan won't be far behind :)
