Sick of the Simon Search

simoncowell.jpgI don't know about you, but I am getting sick and tired of American Idol's search for Simon Cowell's replacement.

Justin Timberlake might be the one!

Jessica Simpson has been taking meetings with the producers!

Chris Isaak has the inside track!

Bret Michaels is a lock for a seat at the table!

The only people who haven't been mentioned as replacements are Larry King and William Hung.  I knew it finally got out of hand when Donald Trump's name was tossed into the mix.  

Replacing Simon Cowell will be impossible as far as I am concerned.  Love it or hate it, Simon WAS American Idol.  It was his tart tongue that grabbed your attention in promotions for the show.  We all talked about his comments the next day, and couldn't wait to see him eviscerate the fool who never should have been allowed to step onto the stage or receive 30 seconds of audition time. Maybe he was tough, but Simon was the one judge we cared about like some sort of mischievous rascal or the male version of a naughty little minx. 

Now, the hype has exceeded any substance derived from the addition of a new host.  So many names have been tossed around, only disappointment seems possible.  The Timberlake contingent will be upset if Isaak gets picked.   Simpson fans will be convinced Kara had something to do with their gal getting passed over.  And, if Trump gets the gig, we could have rioting in the streets. 

Who's the best replacement for Simon Cowell?  Simon Cowell on his new show, The X Factor.
