"AMERICAN IDOL" MINUS LOPEZ & TYLER

"Jennifer Lopez is the second judge in two days to say she's leaving "American Idol."

Her representative, Mark Young, said Friday that Lopez is ending her time on television's most popular show after two years. Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler said the same thing on Thursday..."

I'm not sure how I feel about this news. I still like "American Idol" (though less so than before). I still like Lopez & Tyler though I think what they amass in charm & likability they lack in constructive criticism-especially Steven Tyler.

I hated Simon Cowell's brash critiques on these poor youngsters--I often times agreed w./ his assessment but hated his delivery. He was pompous & mean; however Tyler was too predictably kind ( I would get the feeling he zoned out & just repeated the same rhetoric many times).

 Jennifer Lopez was better at giving specific areas for the contestants to work on so maybe she was a good maternal buffer for a Tyler replacement; alas, it won't be.

Actually, last season Randy Jackson came off as the "mean" one--go figure...

The show needs a straight shooter w/ experience in the music business. They use Jimmy Iovine as a mentor, why not bring him to the judges table?
