Can 'American Idol' Be Saved?

[Randy]

'American Idol' ratings are at their lowest since 2004, and Simon Cowell is moving on. As the Season-Nine Finale approaches, can it stay dominant and turn its winners into stars again?

 

[Kasynlie]

That's ironic. This season is the only one I've ever watched and really like it. Maybe it's just because Ellen DeGeneres is on it.

I hope it dies.

Don't watch American Idol anyway

Don't watch American Idol anyway

Same here..



The show has been on for 9 years. Thats a good run for any show.. They should just cut it off now during their success instead of being terminated because of low ratings.

They show is still very popular. It's not dieing at all. It is one of the highest-rated TV shows in the history of television.

They have huge sponsors, Coke, Ford, and a few other major corporations. Doubt with dieing ratings they'd be sponsored by so many major companies.

I've seen a few episodes on TV. I think it will make no difference to the Reality TV Show community as there are lots of other programs that does the same thing (eg Got Talent)
