Even Donny Osmond thinks the new American Idol is uncool, saying on his radio show:

"Lots of pressure for the show, and a lot to prove. Okay, look, let me say this, AI first and foremost is a television program. It is not reality. It is packaged for entertainment. Now, the first rule of entertainment is there has to be some kind of conflict. Conflict is what makes it interesting. I'm sorry, but without Simon Cowell, there is no conflict. With Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson, you have three white hats and no villain. It just doesn't work! There were lots of 'I’m sorries' and 'you are so sweet' and 'I really like you'...no way.  Simon Cowell is sorely missed, and if last night was any indication, Season 10 will be the final season of AI...It's been fun, American Idol, but it's time to say ‘see ya!'"

Speaking of which, what would Simon make of J.Lo's atrocious take on "Venus"?
