Randy Jackson

Yes, there have been big rumors of a significant change coming to 'American Idol', but few expected it to include Randy Jackson departing the show. He announced Thursday that he would be walking away from the long-running show at the end of season twelve.

Doin' it again, dawg. Randy Jackson returns as an 'American Idol' judge!

Well, it’s official. Randy Jackson will not be returning as a judge on ‘American Idol,’ but he will remain as a “mentor” for the show.

Of course, American Idol is about finding the next big star that has the entire "package", voice, stage presence, looks and confidence.  However, it should not be just about the looks!

Of course last night was the 10th season premiere of American Idol.  I have been saying that it's not going to be the same without Simon, but I was pleasantly surprised.

So, Steven Tyler stated on The Leno Show that "he has never watched American Idol".  What?
