Too Many Changes on American Idol

I truly don't know how many more changes I can take with the American Idol show.  I just read an article mentioning the Kara DioGuardi AND Ellen will not be back for the new season.  Come on Fox, who's left? 

When Paula left the show, I was disappointed I wouldn't get to hear her senseless ramblings, but didn't feel it was a show ending departure for me.  Heavy sigh, Simon left.  He was at times quite cheeky, but that's what we expected and loved about him.  He was the one all of the contestants wanted approval from.  Without him, it was going to be up to Randy and Kara to dish on the Idols.  Heavy sigh, Kara's leaving.

Reports say she was fired by execs in an effort to continually mix up the show.  Boo.  Kara has a music resume second to only a few producers.  Her critiques of the Idols were more than simple words, what she had to say came from the bottom of her note singing heart.  Beyond her expertise, she added so much panache to the judging table.  Why?  Why Kara? 

The role of Ellen on the panel was a humorous one.  She lightened the mood, lifted the spirits of the contestants, and made us all laugh.  I enjoyed her as the newest addition to the crew and will miss her jokes and smiling face.

Rumors have it Steven Tyler from Aerosmith and J. Lo will be replacing Kara and Ellen.  Granted, both newbies have incredible music talent, I just wish it could go back to the good old days.
