They might as well just cancel the show. After all, the ratings are low because of the changing of the judges and the fact that "white guys with guitar" always win now. I know this is random, but with indiepop music is starting to play on pop radio stations now, soon, every artist or band will record their own music under and independent label, and release it on vinyl and/or mp3 ONLY - CDs might become obsolete soon. Only kids 12-16 will watch Idol and older people (18+) will be digging through record crates and watching retro TV shows. I predict all this will happen by 2013 and continue to happen years onwards.
