Simon Cowell Admits American Idol 2011 Is Better Than Past Season

Posted: 13 Apr 2011 06:57 AM PDT

I never thought I’d see the day when Simon Cowell said something like this, but the former American Idol judge has admitted the new season is better than his last.

The 51-year-old TV star, who is set to launch his U.S. version of the X Factor later this year, said this season of the Fox show has more energy than his last one.

‘I personally think it is a better show than last year,’ Cowell said.

‘It feels to me they’ve got their energy back, they’re confident, they’re competitive.’

This surprising statement from Cowell follows on the heels of news that American Idol has finally staunched its ratings bleeding. Not since the 2007 season has Idol seen its ratings hold steady with an average of 25 million viewers each night after three straight years of falling numbers.

Could Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez be doing the trick or is the talent this year really that much better than recent seasons? What do you think it is?

I'm pretty worried about James & Casey my last 2 favourites; n idea whether America will vote for JAZZ & HEAVY METAL.

Though some may find Casey is a bit boring..but to me he's excellent this week..with his jazz element..

Dah tgk all performances utk minggu ni...As conclusion,I thought it was really strange that the judges only offered criticism to one contestant,and it was Haley. I dont believe hers was the weakest performance for this weeks.
I like Paul tp x sure dgn pilihan lagunya..Casey pun sama,not really it seemed pitchy & all over the place. I know there is some Haley backlash show that she wasn't all broken up and sad or weepy when Pia went home..are the judges somehow 'punishing' her for daring not to be shocked or outraged??
