Can “American Idol” survive Simon Cowell’s departure?
Can “American Idol” survive Simon Cowell’s departure at the end of this season?
CAROLYN COGAN, Englewood: “Yes. I think they’ve got enough following to survive. He’ll be a big factor, but I think the show will go on. I’ll keep watching.”
MAUNICE DONLOW, Dayton: “I don’t think they can survive without him. He’s the star of the show. They aren’t going to find anybody bold like that to replace him.”
SCOTT PACHIN, Kettering: “No. I think most people watch ‘American Idol’ to see Simon make fun of people. That’s why I watch it. And his critiques … are usually right on.”
LISA DEBORD, West Carrollton: “I watch in spite of Simon, though he’s fairly entertaining. I think it could survive.”
LIZ PENSKI, Germantown: “No, absolutely not. He is the only one that gives criteria (the contestants) can use in their careers, and he’s the most entertaining.”
JANET CREAMER, Miamisburg: “I’ll keep watching it, but I think some of the viewers will stop. A lot of them watch because of him, even though they complain about him.”
JAMES ELDER, Dayton: “No, because they need Simon to be the face of the TV show. You like to hear his jokes more than people sing sometimes.”
