Ellen has given notice she's not coming back next season to Idol, Simon Cowell has left to pursue bringing his other hit show from Great Britian to The United States. I tend to think Simon saw a sinking ship and decided to get out while it was still on top. Kara (in my opinion) never really caught on and she isn't coming back next season either! Has American Idol run it's course? I think it may have. The way they handled Paula Abdul was the beginning of the end. Time will tell....
