Tonite is the American Idol Grande Finale. The judge will probably make Crystal Bowersox's win official. Everone seems to think that she aced it and totally pwned poor old Lee. More than that Simon Cowell leaves the show after about 10 years. Simon was the cornerstone of Idol, and his acid tongue was a larger part of the show's appeal. Now Simon is getting ready to move on to the next stage of his life, and that includes a new marriage. So that means tonight is not only the crowning of this year's idol, but the show's chance to give Simon his send off. Meanwhile Simon is already talking about the end of his idol years in a series of interviews. Here's Simon talking about what's behind his departure to FOX News:
Simon will be back soon with the American version of X Factor. Simon promises that XF is going to be even better than Idol. For one thing anything goes on X. So that means he'll be dealing from a deck of wild cards, rather than the single Sanjaya or William Hung per season.
