LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) -
"American Idol" is firing longtime executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and
Ken Warwick in a continuing bid to win back viewers and shake up the

(and maybe even longtime producer Nigel Lythgoe) next season--so it's
possible that this is a case of Randy jumping before he is pushed. This
news also comes right after Yahoo!'s Reality Rocks reported that Randy is no longer managing the career of fellow judge Mariah Carey..."

My sole reason for watching "AI" is Candice Glover--she's an amazing talent worthy of taking-if not the title-then the world of music by storm! Watch out for her! I have already downloaded many of her performed songs from this season's show.
