Honestly I will check out the first show out of curiosity. I liked Simon on Idol because although harsh @ times, I felt he told the contestants the truth. I don't know anything about Cheryl Cole and am not a fan of Nicole or Paula so them being judges doesn't hold any interest to me. I wish they had asked Patti LaBelle or Gladys Knight to be on - they are true divas who I believe would be able to tell contestants the truth, help them vocally and not hurt the feelings of those who aren't talented.

I like shows like this because I like seeing people get a shot at their dream but if there's no contestant that I "feel for", I won't continue to watch.
