@Rican star, I have to agree with you. I don't miss Simon at all. In fact I think the chemistry was 10x better without him. For example the girl that tried out on an earlier season (the one that Jlo said she remembered) was pretty good and deserved to go to Hollywood. I'm sure on her first vist to A.I., Simon heard her singing and was just being dismissive and rejected her. He's suck an ass sometimes. Paula was always dazed and in her own world. Now, I thought Randy was holding his own. Jlo was sweet, but not Paula "what a pretty dress even though you can't sing, I'll send you through to Hollywood" sweet. I think this show will be interesting again. Maybe they'll pick talent that is broad and we'll get a wide variety - instead of what they've been doing for the last couple of seasons... picking country singers, in an attempt to sell to that audience. Don't get me wrong, they do pick a few rockers, but all the country singers were taken more seriously. They chances of wining were greater and it just seem like all the illegal downloading was influencing that (being that, that's the genre that doesn't seem to have that obstacle here in the states). Steve was awesome too!
