I think because the ratings were getting lower & lower each season...

Hopefully, the show's reboot will work better

**Always & Forever** · 05-27-2017, 08:25 PM

Either that, or it'll just be cancelled again after one season.

Plus, given its age, it kept getting more and more expensive.

If money is the issue it doesn't help they are paying their judges outrageous salaries

That's why they went down to only one day a week the last couple of seasons.

^I guess ABC is putting up buttloads of money for it...

I read that Katy Perry is lead judge and getting millions of dollars,

Apparently, Ryan isn't too happy about it.

Ryan Seacrest mad about Katy's 'American Idol' paycheck

**Alexa** · 05-29-2017, 01:51 PM

UGH complaining about money. I think Ryan has a point but its all so annoying. None of them deserve that much money to do what we all do at home, its so frustrating.

25 million is RIDICULOUS.

Lethally Floral · 05-29-2017, 04:33 PM

It is. Other than Paula Abdul, who was well past her peak marketability, none of the other judges were really known in the US.

It's more about chemistry than name power. It's like a lesson they refuse to learn.

Probably the fact she is boasting she is getting paid more than any guy that's been on the show probably hits a nerve

I would honestly be mad if Ryan doesn't come back because of Katy.

All this "girl power"/feminist stuff gets so annoying sometimes.

I am all about girl power & women's rights, but when it belittles men & makes them seem inferior to women, it bothers me...

I don't want to get on a political tirade here, so anyway...

Adam Lambert Would Be Happy to Be on the New “American Idol” if Ryan Seacrest Doesn’t Work Out

i wont comment on that.

man or not, the host (and ryan) should be making more than katy, but to whine about it is annoying to me too. like, he makes millions and millions from everything else he does so what is the big freaking deal lol

It won't be Katy's fault if he doesn't come back.

She asked for what she thought she was worth and TPTB paid it.
