Couldn't tell 'ya. Never watched it.

I say yes, it would live - but god I hope they would get rid of Kara first.

It would be hard to replace someone like Simon. He is half of the show.

He sucks and so does the other half the show then

You might not like him, but his opinion matters most on the show.

And what is the basis of your evidence that his opinion sways the votes of 30 million Americans?

I didn't say he sways voters. All I said is that on the show his opinion matters the most of the four judges. Everyone waits to hear what Simon says

Simons honest to the point it's brutal.. the other judges.. especially paula are a waste of the shows time.. we actually stopped watching this season because the performances were 1/5th of the show.. 2/5ths were the judges arguing and 2/5ths were commercials..

If Simon leaves, the show folds...thank goodness, this show is horrible!
