oh, ok... got it. But to be honest, part of the appeal of American Idol, to me at least, is the interplay between the judges. That's a really entertaining part of the show, especially when Simon was still on it. The three current judges (Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, and Harry Connick) all get along too well. No tension, no sniping, no catfights. Oh well... like all TV shows, there is a limited lifespan, and AI will be history after this next season. It'll be interesting to see if The Voice will match AI as far as number of years on the air.
