American Idol Reboots

The best way to reboot American Idol? Get rid of Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson. As for Lopez and Tyler, I remain skeptical. But the big problem with the show is that the winners have been forgettable, save for Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

Look at their track record. The biggest names have come from non-winners. Now we wonder if anyone will tune in beyond the first few days. The real test for the new judges will be when the elimination rounds begin. But if no one steps up and criticizes bad performances, will anyone stay with the show?

Frankly, I'm waiting for Simon's American version of X Factor in late 2011.
