America Idol Starts Tonight From Boston For Simon Cowell's Final Season

That's a rare photo of American Idol's Simon Cowell without his toupee.

Season 9 of American Idol kicks off tonight with auditions in Boston. Simon Cowell announced today, or was it yesterday, that Season 9 will be his last season of American Idol.

Supposedly Cowell is moving on to concentrate on the American version of his X Factor talent hunt show. The Brit version of X Factor is a bit hit in the UK.

I guess the U.S. can handle yet one more talent show.

Meanwhile the American Idol juggernaut starts up tonight. I do not believe Ellen DeGeneres shows up as a judge til after the audition episodes. So, it'll be just Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi doing the judging in Boston.

Tomorrow night the auditions continue in Atlanta.

I really don't think American Idol is going to be as entertaining without Paula Abdul and her loopy antics and odd bickering with Simon Cowell.

If Simon Cowell really leaves this cash cow after this season, I'm thinking that might signal the fast decline of American Idol.
