This is where I usually say see you next year, but, even though Idol will continue, I don't know if there will be a thread for it in 2011. It depends on who replaces Simon, and what he means by "it won't be the same show".
What the actual hell, producers!
But whatever happens with Idol, there will definitely (Lord willing) be a live thread for X-Factor when it premiers in Fall 2011 on FOX. See you then, if not sooner :)
Take care and God bless you all!
