It is speculated that they are looking at cutting costs. Katy Perry is their highest paid talent at $20 million a year, Ryan Secrest is locked into a long term deal with ABC. Word is that they are negotiating with the three judges to return, but nothing is set in stone.
Where do they go from here? Just my two cents...in their attempts to be too kind, there is not enough constructive criticism past the final 10. Just more of "you are wonderful crap". Also, shorten up the shows. Two hours (and three for the finale) is too much. Stream line it and keep it moving, we all have lives to get to.
Anyways what makes this show is jumping on the thread with such friends like you and the gang. I'll be back next year but ABC please don't make me regret it:)
No kidding, even during the top 20 I hardly hear it.
I can't think of anyone to replace them--not because they're irreplaceable, but because no one else wants the job :)
Luke is the most useless. Replace him with Pat Benetar, and keep Professor Lionel and Katy. That could be a good combination.

Their praise for these kids is so over the top. The Somalie Pirate probably thought he could actually win the show, then the judges didn't even use their save to keep him.

Amen! Two hours is plenty of time--IF they have a good reason for it. Most shows could be an hour.
Three hours is torture!
