I predicted this season's viewers would drop after Simon Cowell left American Idol. According to USA Today's, Gary Levin, last year's premiere on Jan. 12, 2010 had 29.9 million viewers and this years premiere saw a 12% decline with 26.2 million viewers. I must say I'm one of the viewers to blame for the decline in viewers. I don't trust the critique of the Judges without Simone. Randy is still Randy, J.Lo is a more critical Paula, and Steven Tyler just has terrible judgement.With Simon gone a lot of contestants have slipped through the cracks. In all fairness I have only watched two episodes, one being the episode that aired last night. Several of the contestants had bad performances but one performance that stuck out the most was by Naima Adedapo. She did her own rendition of Rihanna's "Umbrella' and it was too much going on. She opened the performance with a pop and lock routine and then added a little reggae twist in the middle.
