055 Cowell Factor: Who would take Simon's place on American Idol?

American Idol said it would think young and edgy in season 9 - so why allow a 62 year-old to audition in Atlanta? Then came those guest judges….did they work for you? I judge the judges!

Speaking of judges, how many times could Vicotria Beckham say the word "Nice?"

Coming up: When Simon leaves Idol - who would you want to take his place?

Don't miss my Fame Games picks for this week! (check out all these songs at http://www.famegamesradio.com/ and type their names in the search bar).

Listen to the FULL Cowell Factor HERE and find out the latest happening in Cowell World! What's FOX doing about Simon's potential leave? Will anyone really care about American Idol after this season?

Thank goodness FOX will have American X Factor to fall back on. Why? Isn’t this what we’ve always wanted - Paula Abdul and Simon reunited - holding hands and goofing around on TV again?

I genuinely don’t know for sure whether this will happen...as for the rest of the panel...you tell me…because I have a feeling he will go for 4 judges. So…if it were Simon and Paula…then I think he will choose Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh to complete the foursome.

Email this week and tell me who you think would be replace Simon on American Idol AND...what's your dream American X Factor Team tony@famegamesradio.com
