he did the right thing
jeremynativeJan 20, 2011
i think the bad singers, and seeing people get a chance, is enough for this show to stay alive rather than celebrity judges
Closed AccountJan 20, 2011
They haven't focused on the bad singers since that girl killed herself outside Paula Abdul's house. And you are insnae if you think this show will survive without Simon. Not to mention that it is missing Simon AND Paula, and Paula replacement.
Seriously...the first 6-7 seasons, if you asked any viewer who you watched for, NO ONe was saying "The fat black guy who once toruned with Journey."Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

$130M...I've never watched the show or anything BUT there aren't many things I wouldn't do for $150M.
charlotte_webJan 21, 2011
I hear ya. $170 million is a lot of money.
jrackowJan 21, 2011
Yeah, just thinking of all the things I could do with $190 million. A $210 million purchase comes to mind. Possibly a $230 million company, that way I wouldn't need to worry about an inheritance for my kids. They could just run the $250 million company.

misleading (intentionally so)
He would have MAYBE gotten $130 million for doing BOTH shows.
Until we know how much he is going to make for doing X-Factor, we have no idea how much he turned down.
pethanksJan 20, 2011
That is a big amount of money but of course we have to respect his decision. Nice one!
bcronosJan 20, 2011
He's got bigger plans... He's an annoying jerk, but he's very smart financially...
warpfieldJan 20, 2011
When you're already rich, you don't need more money. But you can always use more time.
dandoniaJan 21, 2011
He's making a new identical show.
warpfieldJan 21, 2011
My guess is, AI wasn't the best use of his time since he didn't have enough control. And that's common... a lot of people leave well-paying gigs because they like the work, but they want to have more input.
dandoniaJan 21, 2011
I'm guessing he had a lot of control but because he owns X-Factor and is taking that to the states, he was banking that people cared more about him than American Idol.
I think he underestimated how much Americans care about the word America.

Damn!

Simon cowell was the only person with balls enough to be the first person to say NO and at the same gave opinions that the other judges based their opinions on
meedJan 20, 2011
I stand for people everywhere and say "Who gives a f**k?"
dannyspaceJan 20, 2011
Must be nice. The last thing I turned down was a free sample from Chick-Fil-A while walking in the mall yesterday. :(
starnseyJan 21, 2011
fool!
superkendallJan 21, 2011
That was a VERY bad move.
dualaudiJan 20, 2011
The show turned out just fine. Steve is going to make this show awesome, jenny from the bronx was so-so. And randy lost more weight...

QuatroCrazyJan 20, 2011

unknownmeiJan 21, 2011

metalcastrJan 21, 2011
He probably had some snide remark when he turned down the money.
amazondhanasJan 21, 2011
It is very wonderful
anwara321Jan 21, 2011
Its excellent
superkendallJan 21, 2011
I got tired of watching it before he left, so I can't really say that his leaving will be the undoing of the show... I think its time has just passed. You can't keep any entertainment show going forever.
dandoniaJan 21, 2011
Why not, it's not like talent dries up and it's not like music fades. We've had soaps on the air for 50 years.
frigraiderJan 21, 2011
Why the f**k is this on Digg's top stories? I miss the old digg.
johnv1Jan 21, 2011
Isn't he bringing the X Factor to America? Its pretty much the same as American Idol the only difference is he owns it.
popa9mmJan 25, 2011
